Permeability
• In a constant head permeability test, q, ag and ΔH are known
so , the permittivity is readily available obtained;
kg q
Ψ= =

Filtration characteristics
• The filter must maintain a higher permeability than the soil and the head loss
through the filter must be lower than a given value.
• Assuming the rate of flow in the soil next to the geotextile is equal to the rate of
flow through the geotextile, then
Ψ.ΔH=Ks .i
Where ΔH = head loss through the geotextile (m)
ks =soil permeability (m/s)
i = hydraulic gradient in the soil.
Assuming the head loss to be less than 0.1m (100mm), then
Ψ = 10 Ks. I and
for 0.05m (50mm head)
Ψ = 20 Ks. i

Retention Criteria
• The geotextile filter must have an opening size small enough
to prevent soil particle migration. When assessing the
opening size of the geotextile the following factors need to
be considered,
• Type of fabric- woven, non-woven, thick non-woven, etc
• Type of soil-compact or loose
• Grading of soil- uniform or non-uniform
• Magnitude of hydraulic gradient

Retention criteria
The retention criterion can be expressed as
On < λ. dn
Where
• On = is the opening size of the geotextile corresponding to the diameter of
the largest particles able to pass through the geotextile, On corresponds
to the dn of the soil passing through the geotextile; n is normally taken as
90, 95 or 98.
• dn = is the chosen as a characteristic diameter of the retained soil. As a
representation of the large diameter particles within the soil d85 or d90 are
normally used whereas for medium size particles d50 is used.
• λ= is a coefficient depending upon the factors listed above together with
the type of test to determine On (dry, wet, wet turbulence or wet
alternate flow).

Retention Criteria
In the absence of the detailed, the AASHTO M 288 Standard Specification
for Geotextiles (1997) provides the following recommended maximum
AOS values in relation to percent of situ soil passing the 0.075mm sieve:
i) 0.43mm for less than 15% passing
ii) 0.25mm for 15 to 50% passing and
iii) 0.22mm for more than 50% passing.
However, for cohesive soils with a plasticity index greater than 7, the
maximum AOS size is 0.30mm.
These default AOS values are based upon the predominant particle sizes
of the in situ soil.

Dynamic Flow Conditions
Dynamic flow conditions can occur in pavement drainage applications. For reversing
inflow-outflow or high gradient situations, it is best to maintain sufficient weight or
load on the filter to prevent particle movement.

Given Data
• Site has a high groundwater table
• Drain is to prevent seepage and shallow slope failure, which are currently a
maintenance problem.
• Depth of trench drain is 1 meter.
• Soil samples along the proposed drain alignment are non-plastic
• Gradation of three representative soil samples along the proposed drain
alignment.

B. Permeability Test
Non-critical application, drain will be conservatively designed with an
estimated permeability.
The largest D10 controls permeability; therefore, Soil A with D10 = 0.15mm
controls. Therefore; K=(D10)2 = (0.15)2 =2 x 10-2 cm/s =2 x 10-4 m/s

D. Clogging Criteria
From the given data, it has been judged that this application is a less
critical/severe application, and soils A and B have a Cu greater than 3.
Therefore, for soils A and B, O95 > 3 D15
O95 > 3 D15 =3 x 0.15 = 0.45mm for Sample A and
=3 x 0.075=0.22mm for Sample B
Soil A controls, therefore AOS > 0.45mm. But earlier calculation for soil C, a
geotextile with the maximum AOS value determined from the retention criteria
should also be used. Therefore AOS = 0.72mm must be used.
