The long-term performance of geocomposite sheet drains were monitored at three sites by measuring the effect of the drains on site groundwater hydrology during peak groundwater events. The study is on-going with a maximum record of 14 years at one site in the southern Sierra Nevada Range, CA.?Over a 3-year period, the drain at one site produced as much as 100 liters per minute with no rise in the water table just down gradient from the drain. The peak hydraulic gradient toward this drain consistently reaches 0.66 to 0.73 during major rainstorms and returns to a S2base levelS3 of 0.45 to 0.50 within 10 days after a storm peak.?At a second site, the drain flowed up to 15 liters per minute with no water table rise in a retaining wall fill down gradient from the drain. Performance of this drain was consistently favorable over a 14-year period with no deterioration. Limited data suggest that the drain discharge (liters per minute) is proportional to about 13 times the hydraulic gradient toward the drain.?At a third site, drain performance is limited by construction problems. A collapsed trench wall during drain placement caused an uneven drain slope toward the outlet. This is a common problem of trench drains at sites with a high water table. The problem could be greatly mitigated by returning to one of the pioneering geocomposite drain designs, the Eljen Drain, in which vertical sections of the drain are completely independent units that can be immediately dropped into a trench behind the excavator. Despite the construction problems, the drain is partially dewatering the road prism just down gradient, as seen by approximately 1.2 meters of groundwater drawdown beneath the road.

Contains nine papers that were presented in the eponymously named, ASTM sponsored, conference held in Seattle, Washington, on June 29th, 1999. The papers are divided into treatments of field performance studies, pavement design and drainage, and testing, corresponding to the sessions of the symposium. Topics include cold-climate pavement drainage; performance-based specifications for highway edge drains; and tests of toe drain performance, transmissivity of geosynthetic drains, and clogging behavior.

The development of polymeric materials in the form of geosynthetics has brought major changes to the area of Civil Engineering. Increasing interest in these materials and their use has resulted in significant advances in their practical applications in the last few decades. Following this progress, geosynthetics have become a common and favoured construction component in present-day geotechnical engineering. A wide range of compositions is now used, with properties tailored to conditions required for application. Fundamentals of Geosynthetic Engineering provides an overview of the basic concepts of this fascinating and innovative subject area in a logical and illustrative way. This book guides the reader from basic description, manufacturing and material properties of the geosynthetics to their selection process and the major applications. It treats practical analysis and design concepts and provides guidelines for application. In addition, the quality control, field performance and monitoring of applied geosynthetics are discussed, and some aspects of costs analysis are described. The text is supported by examples, multiple choice and numerical questions with answers provided. One separate chapter with case studies is included in the book. In addition, the latest common test standards and codes of practice are introduced in a few sections with extensive references. This textbook will serve courses in geosynthetics or earth reinforcement for graduate students in Geotechnical, Transportation, Hydraulic or Environmental Engineering. It may also be used as part of the undergraduate Geotechnical Engineering course for final year undergraduate students in Civil Engineering. The structure of this text also facilitates self-study by civil engineers, manufacturers and installers who wish to become familiar with the subject matter.
