“…Some of these laws describe the detachment and transport of finer soil particles from a porous medium towards an open exit such as a borehole or a cavity, that is, the detached particles are not concerned by a possible self‐filtration. In fact, few models or relationships are dedicated to the simultaneous detachment, transport and self‐filtration that cannot be experimentally distinguished, 5,19,35,45,47 and fewer are concerned by the experimental measurement of the averaged parameters 5,19,35 . In contrast to other works which lack a clear chain of validation from laboratory specimens, physical models and full‐sale structures, 45,47 the present work is based on experimental observations and data to fill the gap between laboratory testing and field applications.…”
