The application of geotextiles for prefabricated drains. Until the seventies, vertical drainage systems were mainly being applied in the form of sand drains. This method consisted of forming holes in the ground by means of water jets in combination with drills or bailers, until the desired depth was reached. These holes were then filled with sand..... Nowadays there are many brands and types of drains available. These can be roughly divided into the following groups: Non-woven drains.... Composite drains....

La couche de drainage ne donnera pas les résultats escomptés si d’autres mesures aussi simples qu'efficaces et économiques ne s’y ajoutent pas. Les mesures en question suivent les bonnes pratiques de génie. Il s’agit en l'occurrence : de coiffer les remblais d’une couche argilo-limoneuse imperméable dont la pente positive éloignera l'eau de surface du bâtiment; de créer un canal de drainage qui acheminera l'eau de la semelle de la fondation pour que l'eau s’écoule jusqu'au collecteur pluvial. Le drain devrait se trouver dans une couche de 150 mm de gravier ou de pierres concassées.

La couche de gravier draine toute eau à la base du mur vers un puisard, d’où elle est ensuite évacuée. Des drains de semelle peuvent être utilisés au lieu de la couche de matériau granulaire, mais ils sont habituellement réservés aux semelles de béton traditionnelles.

On peut(...) assimiler un géotextile à un drain capable de dissiper les pressions interstitielles, de collecter et de conduire le fluide vers un exutoire. Cette capacité à remplir efficacement le rôle de drain sera d’autant plus grande que la transmissivité du géotextile sera élevée. La fonction drain est particulièrement intéressante, car les géotextiles se présentent sous forme de nappes; leur surface de contact est importante, et par conséquent leur possibilité de captage d’eau est grande. 2, record 11, French, - dispositif%20de%20drainage%20pr%C3%A9fabriqu%C3%A9

A geotextile can be applied in a drainage function because of its ability to filter selectively and to keep two media, grains and water, apart .... In the drainage process there is a division of functions within the construction into: the water-discharge element, and the surrounding element which is permeable and separates the water-discharge element from the surrounding granular material. 3, record 13, English, - drainage%20function

La diversité d’emploi des géotextiles dans les ouvrages de génie civil montre que ces derniers sont en mesure d’assurer plusieurs fonctions non seulement durant la phase de fonctionnement de l'ouvrage, mais également pendant la phase de construction. On recense deux rôles majeurs : le rôle hydraulique, le rôle mécanique. Dans le rôle hydraulique, on citera : la fonction drain où le géotextile collecte, transporte et évacue les eaux de surface et souterraines; la fonction filtre où le géotextile présente quelques similitudes avec la fonction séparation, mais aborde cet aspect du problème uniquement sur le plan hydraulique. 1, record 13, French, - fonction%20drain
