A study on soil-geotextile interaction using gradient ratio tests
Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska, 2019 Nonwoven geotextile have been widely used for filtration. In this paper, the clogging potential for a soil-geotextile system were assessed using laboratory tests. An ASTM modified gradient ratio test device was used to determine gradient ratio as well as

Investigation of durability of geotextiles tubes in marine conditions [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesGeotextile tubes are widely used in coastal protection structures like revetments, breakwaters, and containment bunds. Geotextile sheets that make up the tube are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as UV radiation and wave action.

Vertically inserted geotextile used for strengthening levees against internal erosion [PDF]
, 2015 The effectiveness of a vertical inserted geotextile against internal erosion, in particular backward erosion, has been investigated. Some small- and medium-scale tests were performed as well as a field-scale test and compared with test series without any

Hydraulic conductivity of a dense prehydrated geosynthetic clay liner [PDF]
, 2015 Dense prehydrated geosynthetic clay liners (DPH-GCLs) are a particular type of GCL which, unlike conventional GCLs manufactured with dry bentonite, contain bentonite prehydrated during manufacturing.

A Bio-Wicking System to Mitigate Capillary Water in Base Course [PDF]
, 2016 Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deteriorations. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and increase in permanent deformation. Conventional drainage systems can only drain gravity water

Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition
