Soil Retention Tests. One variation of this test is directed toward the use of geotextiles as underwater silt curtains. The test device consists of two rectangular tanks which are placed end to end with slide gates facing one another. Between these two slide gates is the fabric specimen under test. The upstream tank(with the slide gate closed) is now filled with water that has a known amount of silt uniformly mixed in it. The gate valve at the exit end of the downstream tank is opened. The test begins by lifting up the slide gates on each side of the fabric and allowing the(turbid) water to pass through the fabric, which is acting as a submerged soil filter... This test... is aimed at the reduction in turbidity of rivers and streams during adjacent construction activities.  4, record 3, English, - silt%20curtain

Geotextile Silt Fences. Silt fences consist of fabrics placed vertically on posts to prevent sediment carrying sheet runoff from entering into downstream creeks or sewer systems. Since all construction activities must have an associated sedimentation and erosion control plan, this concept is rapidly growing and replacing bales of straw, hay, and other makeshift methods. The bottom of the silt fence is generally embedded in an anchoring ditch; the posts, to which the fabric is attached, are usually at 5-to 10-ft spacings; and sometimes a wire fencing is required as backing on the fabric to provide additional support.  4, record 5, English, - silt%20fence
