Influence of geotextile deformability. A geotextile also provides interlocking of soil particles when it deforms to the shape of soil particles ... . This depends on several parameters: stiffness of the goetextile, size of the soil particles and of the gaps between them, and normal stress applied on the geotextile. Several measurements on nonwoven geotextiles show that a more flexible geotextile provides a slightly larger contact efficiency. ... a possible reason for a large contact efficiency is that, with a deformable material on one side, a flexible geotextile is able to deform to the shape of the coarse particles on the other side. 1, record 1, English, - geotextile%20deformability

La flexibilité du géotextile augmente sa surface de contact avec le sol (...) ainsi que son adaptabilité à des profils complexes. Elle assure un meilleur ancrage (...) La flexibilité des géotextiles et leur déformabilité dans le plan sont capitales en particulier si l'on veut étaler sans pli des nappes sur des surfaces planes en courbe (exemple : virage). 1, record 1, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20d%C3%A9formation%20des%20g%C3%A9otextiles
