CONT

The effect of fabric compressibility on fabric permeability is still another concern of researchers. Schober and Teindl show that a compressive force of 100 kPa (146 psi) can reduce the k-value of highly compressible needle-felt fabrics by factors ranging between 2 and 8. This compressive force is roughly equal to fabric buried beneath 150 ft of dense soil.

CONT

Compressibility of a fabric is its thickness at varying applied normal pressures.

OBS

La perméabilité d'un géotextile dans des conditions saturées est son aptitude à laisser circuler un fluide (eau, air). Cette propriété est fondamentale pour l'ensemble des géotextiles; (...) La perméabilité d'un géotextile est fonction de sa compressibilité.
