AkiraIshikawa (OYO Corporation) SYNOPSIS.The transmissivity measuring device, in which a cylindrical geotextile section is used, was developed. The test results show that there are a wide range of transmissivity among geotextile on the market, and that these reduce considerably with increase of normal stress.The drain efficiency of geotextile, based on the numerical analysis by Gibson et al (1968), was obtained using the Gibson's curve, and compared with the results of field observation.Both of the drain efficiency agrees well. It is very useful to estimate the drain efficiency of each geotextile according to the condition of soil, drainage length and a term of works when to make a good choice among various kinds of geotextiles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
