A rational design approach including the following two steps is necessary for proper geotextile design: 1. Identify the mechanisms through which the geotextile is expected to perform in the considered application, and identify geotextile properties governing these mechanisms (selection of appropriate test methods to evaluate these properties would be an important part of this step; ...). 2. Determine the required values of the geotextile properties by using a method of design. 3, record 9, English, - design

Il peut paraître surprenant que l'on parle de dimensionnement d'un géotextile alors que, jusqu'à présent, ce sont la plupart du temps l'expérience et le conseil plus ou moins bien avisé du fournisseur [...] qui ont prévalu. [...] on dispose actuellement de bases permettant, selon le problème posé, un dimensionnement ou une approche de ce dernier. Un géotextile est la plupart du temps incorporé à un sol. Il forme avec lui ce que l'on pourrait dénommer une géostructure. Son dimensionnement est donc étroitement lié aux propriétés géotechniques et hydrogéologiques des sols. Dans ce but, des connaissances géotechniques fondamentales sont donc indispensables. On ne sait pas actuellement dimensionner un géotextile dans tous les cas d'application. 2, record 9, French, - dimensionnement
Record number: 9, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La complexité et la diversité des problèmes rencontrés dans la construction d'ouvrages de génie civil ne permettent pas de répondre de manière simple et souvent précise au problème du dimensionnement. L'impératif majeur est d'obtenir au moindre coût un facteur de sécurité supérieur à 1 non seulement à court terme, mais également à très long terme (30 à 50 ans). Diverses démarches sont possibles pour atteindre cet objectif selon que l'on retient une approche : de théoricien appliquant des modèles de calcul; de Maître d'ouvrage (mandant), appliquant de manière stricte des normes officielles; de Maître d'œuvre (exécutant), appliquant des recommandations d'emploi. 3, record 9, French, - dimensionnement
