Abstract

This paper recommends the use of the ASTM Test for Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics (D 737) in determining the coefficient of water permeability for geotextiles (that is, civil engineering filter fabrics). The article explains the theory and experimental data that result in this determination.

Keywords:
