Evaluation of filtration performance of geotextiles : report on evaluation of geotextiles filtration performance by laboratory filtration tests

The report present an overview of most recent development in the geotextile filters applied to civil engineering. Filtration phenomena at soil/filter interface, procedures to measure filtration properties of geotextiles, procedures to assess filtration behaviour of the soil/geotextile system, and an overview of existing filter design criteria are presented and discussed.
