In the USA, it has been standard practice to drive securing pins through overlaps in the geotextile filter, at 0. 6 to 1. 5 m centres, even if the joints are sewn or heat-bonded. With unbounded rip-rap on some sites, there is a tendency for the stone to move after placement as it settles into its final resting position. As this has been found to cause tears in the geotextile at the securing pins, it now appears safer to place the geotextile fairly loosely over the prepared surface, using the minimum possible number of securing pins. 1, record 1, English, - securing%20pin

Pose et assemblage des géotextiles [...] Le sens de superposition des géotextiles sera choisi de manière à empêcher leur soulèvement lors de la mise en œuvre du matériau d'apport. Si le géotextile est posé en surface, il faudra le maintenir en place par liaison entre nappes, fixation au sol et par ancrage (tranchée) en bordure de l'aire de stockage. 2, record 1, French, - goujon%20de%20fixation

Pose et assemblage des géotextiles : les géotextiles doivent plaquer le mieux possible aux parois du tunnel afin d'assurer à satisfaction leur fonction de drain. L'assemblage des nappes s'effectue en général par recouvrement (min. 0.30 m). Les géotextiles sont fixés aux parois du tunnel par des goujons mis en place au pistolet et par des rondelles de PVC. 2, record 1, French, - goujon%20de%20fixation

Although not only related to the separation function, the geotextile during its placement must survive the installation process. Indeed, fabric survivability is critical in all types of applications;... In this regard, sharp stones, tree stumps, roots, miscellaneous debris, and so on, on the ground beneath the geotextile present a problem for puncturing through the fabric after stone base and traffic loads are imposed above it. 1, record 4, English, - puncture%20resistance

The Corps of Engineers first developed the puncture test for geotextiles in the early 1970s. The original Corps method specified the following: ASTM Method of Testing Coated Fabrics ... tension testing machine with ring clamp and replacing the steel ball with an 8-mm ... diameter solid steel cylinder (flat tip) centered within the ring clamp. Since its origin, the U.S. Corps of Engineers has modified the original puncture test to use a hemispherical tip probe rather than a flat tip probe to penetrate the geotextile. 3, record 4, English, - puncture%20resistance

Percement. Cette caractéristique résulte de la concentration d'une sollicitation mécanique qui peut être engendrée soit à vitesse lente, soit à vitesse rapide (effet dynamique). Le percement d'une nappe est complexe à analyser, car il dépend d'un grand nombre de paramètres que l'on maîtrise difficilement (vitesse d'impact, forme du poinçon ou du projectile). On recense trois types de processus de percements différents qui aboutissent à une altération de géotextile: perforation (coupure), poinçonnement (effet de compression), éclatement (mise en pression localisée). Expression du résultat: selon la méthode d'essai, le percement s'exprime sous forme d'une dimension géométrique , d'une force ou d'une pression. 2, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9sistance%20au%20percement
