... in-soil stiffness of the different geosynthetics. A nonwoven geotextile, a woven geotextile and a geogrid were tested under sand and gravel confinement. For all reinforcements used in this study, tests showed that reinforcement in-soil stiffness increases under soil confinement. The influence...

...N. Abou Chaz; L. Briancon; P. Villard; C. Silvani; A. Nancey A series of large-scale laboratory tests was conducted to evaluate the impact of geotextile reinforcement on the performance of unpaved roads. An experimental protocol was established, detailing the preparation of the road base soil...

...E. M. Palmeira Geotextiles have been used as filters in geotechnical and geoenvironmental works for decades. Despite their broad utilization, these filters still find obstacles to the expansion of their application in larger projects and under complex soil and flow conditions. However...

...S. Liu; R. Zhang; J. Cheng; X. Geng; J. Zheng; K. Cheng Horizontal drains are gradually introduced to the vacuum preloading method to improve dredged slurries by adding geotextiles to alleviate the blockage in the consolidation process. This study considers the consolidation of slurries enhanced...

...H. Wang; M. Kang; Y. Kim; I. I. A. Qamhia; E. Tutumluer; H. Shoup Geosynthetics, mainly geogrids and geotextiles, are commonly used to mechanically stabilize unbound aggregate layers in paved road applications. They provide lateral restraint to aggregates to initially increase the layer modulus...

...J. Lin; T. D. Stark; A. Idries; S. Choi This paper provides insight into the causes of post-peak strength loss for textured geomembrane (GMX) and nonwoven geotextile (NGT) interfaces. The NGT can be part of a geosynthetic drainage composite (GDC) or a stand-alone NGT. The study used ring shear...

...M. W. Khan; A. R. Dawson; A. M. Marshall; R. Chaudhry This paper focuses on evaluating the pore sizes of four nonwoven geotextile specimens with different pore size distribution techniques. The paper introduces a bubble analysis technique to find the two-dimensional (2D) pore size distribution...

...J.P. Giroud; J. Han; E. Tutumluer; M.J.D. Dobie This paper addresses unpaved and paved roads improved with geosynthetics, such as geotextiles, geogrids and geocells. The paper examines the mechanisms associated with the use of geosynthetics to improve roads, describes the principles of the design...

...N. Moraci; M. C. Mandaglio; S. Bilardi The paper focuses on the evaluation of the long-term behaviour of geotextile filters in contact with cohesionless soils. The clogging, blinding and piping levels of the filtering systems have been evaluated analysing the results of long-term filtration tests...
