Experimental study of water infiltration on an unsaturated soil-geosynthetic system
Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2016 This investigation presents experimental results from soil-geosynthetic column tests constructed to study the drainage capability of geosynthetics installed within an unsaturated soil and subjected to a water infiltration process. Two different types of

Geosynthetic sorption sheet—Another function of geosynthetics?
, 2023 This paper discusses a novel geosynthetics sorption sheet that provides both sorption and traditional geosynthetic functions. In particular, the geosynthetic sorption sheet facilitates both water drainage and chemical barrier function. In this paper, batch sorption tests are used to evaluate the sheet's attenuation performance. The results of soil tank
