Since there are three mechanisms through which a geotextile performs the filtration function, there should be three criteria for the relevant geotextile properties : 1. Criterion for minimum permeability("permeability criterion")... 2. Criterion for maximum opening size("retention criterion")... 3. Criterion for minimum percent open area(wovens) or minimum porosity(nonwovens)("nonclogging criterion")... 1, record 1, English, - nonclogging%20criterion

Le colmatage est en fait dû à un désir du sol qui, perturbé par les travaux, souhaite retrouver son équilibre naturel. Il faut donc essayer de faire jouer par le géotextile ce rôle de "retour à l'équilibre" dans le plus bref délai. On comprend aisément que c'est l'association sol-géotextile qui doit être considérée pour résoudre ce problème. C'est pourquoi, nous avons choisi ici un critère d'anticolmatage qui tient compte des caractéristiques du sol et de celles du géotextile. Ce critère est différent suivant la nature du géotextile [...] 1, record 1, French, - crit%C3%A8re%20d%27anticolmatage

L'eau qui circule est chargée de particules solides en suspension, celles-ci s'accumulent sur le filtre ou au sein du filtre en réduisant progressivement la perméabilité. Le débit diminue, il y a colmatage. 2, record 1, French, - crit%C3%A8re%20d%27anticolmatage

D'une manière générale, la stricte application des critères de filtration définis par les divers organismes nationaux prend en compte les effets à long terme du colmatage minéral et donc limite les risques de non-fonctionnement des réseaux de drainage. 2, record 2, French, - crit%C3%A8re%20de%20perm%C3%A9abilit%C3%A9

Retention criterion .... Criteria for granular filters can be found in many text book on soil mechanics .... In these criteria, which have been drawn up on the basis of laboratory tests, a defined grain size is often compared with a pore diameter of the filter. The behaviour of soil material, especially in the case of cohesive soils, is a far too complicated phenomenon to be predicted only from the grain-size distribution. Because of this there is little to be gained by enumerating a large number of sometimes contradictory criteria for both granular and synthetic filter materials. 3, record 3, English, - retention%20criterion

Dans sa proposition de dimensionnement d'un filtre géotextile de rétention d'un sol meuble, J.P. Giroud exprime la compacité du sol par sa densité relative Dr (...), déterminée par essais de laboratoire, en distinguant entre un sol lâche, moyennement compact et compact. A défaut d'essais de laboratoire, on peut faire in situ une estimation de la compacité du sol à l'aide de tests simples (...) La stabilité de la structure d'un sol dépend, davantage encore que de Dr, du coefficient d'uniformité Cu. Les critères de rétention d'un sol meuble sont définis dans le tableau 57 où le seul paramètre conduisant au choix du géotextile est le diamètre de filtration (...) 1, record 3, French, - crit%C3%A8re%20de%20r%C3%A9tention
