Permeable or impermeable textile of a very small mesh or pore size. Permeable filter fabric allows water to pass through while keeping sediment out. Impermeable filter fabric prevents both water and sediment from passing through it.
a special fabric usually used in drainage applications, such as to surround perforated pipe and filter material, which allows water flow without clogging or binding by soil particles
Fabric used to prevent the migration of fines from one layer to another.
Synthetic cloth-like material that is used for several different types of construction related applications such as erosion control, road stabilization and soil separation. Can consist of either woven or non-woven fibers in varying thicknesses or weights. Available in 12 to 15 foot wide rolls several hundred feet in length. Woven fabrics (usually black) resemble the stuff that modern day grain bags and weed control fabric are made from while non-woven fabrics can resemble a range of materials from soft felts to the stiff shiny house wrap (to which they are closely related) usually seen enveloping homes under construction.
textile of relatively small mesh or pore size that is used to 1) allow water to pass through while keeping sediment out (permeable) or 2) prevent both runoff and sediment from passing through (impermeable).
Any man-made permeable textile material used with foundations, soil, rock, or earth.
A form of erosion control, whereby fabric is "wrapped around" the timber abutment in order to prevent soil loss. This fabric allows for water to freely pass through while not allowing soil loss. This is used on all YBC timber abutments. Example.
1. Finely woven, mesh, synthetic fabric used to stabilize the soil during excavation. This fabric is fastened down against the soil to prevent erosion. 2. Synthetic fabric, which sieves out the fine materials from ones that are coarser and also filters particles from fluids.
