Significant characteristic of drainage geocomposite: transmissivity

Abstract

Drainage is the elimination of excess water contained in soil. Accordingly, it favors the decrease and control of interstitial pressure, the control of intermittent output and the consolidation of soils. Geocomposites are widely used for drainage applications. Like all geosynthetic materials, their hydraulic and mechanical properties are measured in the laboratory. However, can these values be obtained on site?
