In-soil tensile behaviour of geotextiles confined by fine soils
Abstract
This paper presents a study on the behaviour of non woven geotextiles under tension confined by fine grained soils. A preliminary numerical analysis of the test is also discussed. The results suggest that fine grained soils may provide high levels of confinement and that arching can occur causing the vertical pressure on the geotextile during the test to be substantially smaller than the value applied at the sample top.
