[Fe], [Mn], [Mg], [Ca]), redox potential(Eh) for iron ochre, BOD and COD of water(substrate type/concentration), osmotic pressure and dissolved oxygen) ;the properties of basement material(coefficient of uniformity(Cu), coefficient of gradation(Cc), plastic index(PI), double hydrometer ratio(DHR) for dispersive clay, particle shape and grain hardness for granular soil, compaction degree of soil and saturation degree) ;and the properties of geotextile(filtration opening size(FOS), apparent opening size(AOS), fiber density, textile bulk density(mass/area), porosity, thickness and fiber material)... screen test results clearly indicated that the height of self filtration is proportional to the constriction size(Dc) of granular filter used. Additionally, they suggested the filter opening size value should be within the range between d50 and d80 for linearly graded soil and within the flat range in gap graded soil. 2, record 10, English, - opening%20size

Pour les géotextiles utilisés comme filtres, on mesurera par commodité la probabilité de passage des particules de sol d'un diamètre connu. On assimile ainsi le géotextile à un tamis. On enregistre la taille maximale des particules traversant le tamis, mesure assimilée à un diamètre, d'où l'expression «diamètre de filtration». Plusieurs principes et méthodes sont actuellement utilisés pour définir cette caractéristique : tamisage à sec de billes de verre calibrées [...]; tamisage à sec de particules de sol [...]; tamisage de sol à l'humide [...]; tamisage de sol sous régime hydrodynamique. 4, record 10, French, - ouverture%20de%20filtration

Vibroflotation involves the use of a vibrating probe that can penetrate granular soil to depths of over 100 feet. The vibrations of the probe cause the grain structure to collapse thereby densifying the soil surrounding the probe. To treat an area of potentially liquefiable soil, the vibroflot is raised and lowered in a grid pattern. Vibro Replacement(right, HB) is a combination of vibroflotation with a gravel backfill resulting in stone columns, which not only increases the amount of densification, but provides a degree of reinforcement and a potentially effective means of drainage. 2, record 17, English, - Vibroflotation

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 21, English, - retention%20criterion

Rôle de support. Un matériau posé sur un autre et soumis à des contraintes peut être incapable de résister seul aux efforts qu'il subit. C'est ainsi qu'une fine membrane de polyéthylène devant assurer l'étanchéité d'un bassin et reposant sur un lit de gros cailloux éclatera sous une forte pression d'eau, sa résistance à la traction-déchirure étant alors insuffisante. L'interposition d'un géotextile permet d'améliorer fortement ce comportement en assurant un rôle mécanique de protection (...) 2, record 24, French, - support%20de%20la%20couche%20de%20forme
