Abstract

Recently, geotextile is very often used as horizontal drains in constructing embankments with cohesive soils. In this case, it is important to select a geotextile and to design considering finite permeability of geotextile. Main purpose in this study is to make out standards of selecting a geotextile in using it as horizontal drains. In this paper, we suggest an analysis method, which is able to predicate distribution of pore water pressure in geotextiles and embankments in the case of using geotextile as horizontal drains.
