Geotextile Fabric Clogging
Geotextile Fabric Clogging
(OP)
I am look for good references/ studies for the propensity of geotextile fabrics to clog. I'm not specific to type of fabric (woven or needle punch), case studies would be the best, but any resources will prove to be helpful. I have had limited success finding quality information related to this.
Also I am looking for good references on soil liquifaction. The mechanics, processes, and conditions that increase the propensity of soil liquification.
Any references will help!!!
Thanks All.

RE: Geotextile Fabric Clogging
For soil liquefaction, look for papers by H. B. (Harry) Seed and others at UC Berkeley.
Those should keep you busy for quite awhile!

I do currently have a request in with Koerner for inofrmation and references through The Geosynthetic Institute (GSI). I will check out papers by Seed for SLF.
Always a pleasure, Thanks much...

Interesting question. We often hear of clogging resistance--it's a common claim--but perhaps do not publish enough data on the subject.
All best,

I understood that Keithe wanted to understand the phenomenon of soil liquefaction - not necessarily have the state-of-the-art information for design. While many researchers have extended Harry's work, few have done as thorough a job of explaining the key factors that affect the onset of liquefaction. I stand by my recommendation.
Having said that, I will agree that the study of liquefaction didn't end with Harry's death. Many researchers have enhanced our knowledge in this area. And mrwgeo has provided some useful links in this regard.
