Effects of Normal Pressure on the Clogging Behavior of Geotextile and Gap-Graded Soil Filtration Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The applied loads have a significant role on the filtration property of soil and geotextile systems. This paper investigates the effects of normal pressure on the clogging behavior of geotextile and gap-graded soil filtration systems. The experimental results show that the clogging potential increases as the normal pressure increases. And a critical value for the normal pressure may exist. When the applied normal pressure is less than the critical value, the normal pressure has significant effects on the filtration systems. However, when the applied normal pressure exceeds the critical value, effects of the normal pressure on the soil-geotextile filtration systems are minor.
