Drainage
A geotextile acts as a conduit for the movement of liquids or gasses in the plane of the geotextile
When functioning as a drain, a geotextile acts as a conduit for the movement of liquids or gasses in the plane of the geotextile. Relatively thick nonwoven geotextiles are the products most commonly used. Selection should be based on transmissivity, which is the capacity for in-plane flow. |
