On peut [...] assimiler un géotextile à un drain capable de dissiper les pressions interstitielles, de collecter et de conduire le fluide vers un exutoire. Cette capacité à remplir efficacement le rôle de drain sera d'autant plus grande que la transmissivité du géotextile sera élevée. La fonction drain est particulièrement intéressante, car les géotextiles se présentent sous forme de nappes; leur surface de contact est importante, et par conséquent leur possibilité de captage d'eau est grande. 3, record 1, French, - drain%20pr%C3%A9fabriqu%C3%A9%20Sandwick
