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.

Provides information on woven and non-woven geotextiles used for filtering and drainage in geotechnical engineering. The design of such filters balances large pores for adequate permeability with smaller pores for proper soil retention. Of the 15 papers from a June 1995 symposium in Denver, Colorado

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.

Geotextiles: From Design to Applications presents valuable information on the high performance fabrics used in soil separation, drainage, filtration, reinforcement, and cushioning. These polymeric materials offer solutions for geoengineering and other civil engineering specialties due to their advanced physical, mechanical, hydraulic, and endurance properties. This important book offers comprehensive coverage of the manufacture, functions, properties, designs, and applications of geotextiles. Part One begins with a chapter on the history of geotextiles, followed by chapters giving detailed reviews of the types of fabrics and their manufacturing processes, from resin type, to fiber extrusion, to textile fabrication. Part Two covers the properties, behavior, and testing of geotextiles, with Part Three focusing on applications dealing with the specific primary functions of geotextiles. In Part Four, chapters offer numerous general applications of geotextiles, including those in waste containment, marine engineering, walls/slopes, agriculture, and erosion control. Finally, the chapters of Part Five address quality control and assurance for geotextiles, and the increasingly important topic of sustainability. Reviews the types of fabrics used for geotextiles and their manufacturing processes Covers the properties, behavior, and testing of geotextiles Contains detailed discussions of the primary functions of geotextiles and their wide range of applications
