Abstract:

A dynamic test that attempts to duplicate field conditions for filter fabrics used in pavement subdrains is described. A filter fabric sample under a saturated silty-sand test soil is subjected to repeated axial loading while water flow is maintained through the sample under a unit hydraulic gradient. Sample permeability is monitored continuously. Results are presented in the form of a plot of sample permeability versus accumulated loads, and plots that show the movement in soil after 1 million loads. (Author)
