OBS

The site should be prepared to the most exhaustive criteria.... Large depressions should be lined with the geotextile with 1. 8 m(6 ft) of material projecting beyond the depression. The depression should be filled with granular material level to the surrounding surface prior to placement of the primary geotextile layer.

OBS

Laying. Many applications, such as separation between the formation and sub-base of a road, require geotextiles to be laid over large areas.... Where necessary, the geotextiles are joined by sewing or some other mechanical means before placing.

OBS

Geomembrane deficiencies can result from activities conducted at all the following stages: manufacturing of rolls, fabrication of blankets, transportation, storage and handling, placement, field seaming....

CONT

Avant le début des travaux, il est recommandé d'établir un plan de pose des géotextiles. Les éléments de ce plan seront les suivants: disposition des bandes de géotextile, avec indication de leur mode d'assemblage; caractéristiques de l'assemblage (longueur de recouvrement, couture); ordre de pose des nappes [...]

OBS

Après avoir été transportés sur leur lieu d'utilisation, les rouleaux sont le plus souvent déroulés manuellement. Lors de sa mise en œuvre, le géotextile ne devra pas être pollué, percé, déchiré, de manière à ne pas altérer sa fonctionnalité.

Subject field(s)
  • Dams and Causeways
  • Foundation Engineering
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
DEF

A blanket of pervious material constructed at the foundation from the impervious zone to the landside in a levee or downstream side of an earth dam, to permit the discharge of seepage and to minimize the possibility of piping failure, either of the blowout or subsurface erosion type.

CONT

Normally a granular drainage blanket is provided over the area treated with vertical drains in order to facilitate the dissipation of porewater at ground surface level. As the underlying compressible soil is usually unable to directly support construction plant, the drainage blanket should also function as a foundation platform for the construction plant. It is advisable to use a geotextile sheet beneath the drainage blanket to prevent loss of granular material into the soft deposits or a foundation failure under the load imposed by construction plant.

DEF

Couche drainante placée directement sur le sol dans la partie aval d'un barrage en terre pour collecter les eaux susceptibles de provenir du sous-sol.

DEF

Couche constituée de matériaux perméables mise en place derrière un ouvrage (mur enterré, soutènement) ou sous un ouvrage (radier, dallage, route, barrage) pour faciliter l'écoulement de l'eau du sol et éviter en particulier sa mise en pression.

CONT

Drainage sous dalle de béton [...] : matelas drainant servant à collecter et à évacuer l'eau qui pourrait s'accumuler sous une dalle de béton de sous-sol. Fonction du géotextile [...] Drain : le géotextile collecte et évacue l'eau qui s'accumule sous la dalle de sous-sol, évitant ainsi des remontées d'humidité. Filtre : le géotextile doit assurer sa propre protection contre le colmatage ou empêcher le colmatage du matelas drainant granulaire. Séparation : le géotextile évite l'interpénétration du gravier drainant, ou du béton, et du sol support; il contribue ainsi au maintien de l'intégrité de ce gravier ou du béton.

OBS

Couche drainante : Couche constituée de matériau perméable mise en place derrière un ouvrage (mur enterré, soutènement) ou sous un ouvrage (radier, dallage, route, barrage) pour faciliter l'écoulement de l'eau du sol et éviter en particulier sa mise en pression. Synonyme : tapis drainant, matelas drainant.
