摘要

Geotextiles are increasingly being used to modify the environment and terrain for a wide variety of uses, such as reinforcement, separation and drainage to improve the performance of roads, both paved and unpaved; drainage and separation in landfill covers and liners; and reinforcement for slopes, embankments, and retaining walls. These geotextiles are often in contact with unsaturated soils; however, the hydrologic behavior of geosynthetic materials in unsaturated environments is most often ignored because the basic characterization of these materials does not exist. One example that illustrates the significance of the hydrologic interaction between geosynthetics and unsaturated soils involves the behavior of some geosynthetic materials as a capillary break. A capillary break is a layer which essentially interrupts the unsaturated movement of water because its unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is so low. Preliminary work by the US Army has shown the promise of some geosynthetics as capillary breaks to prevent water from being drawn up beneath a pavement and thus limit frost heave and subsequent thaw weakening (Henry and Holtz, 1997). While capillary breaks using geosynthetics may have many positive applications, it is possible that geosynthetics may inadvertently form capillary breaks and have negative consequences. For example, a recent side slope failure of a landfill cover was attributed to a geotextile inadvertently acting as a capillary break (Richardson, 1997). In this paper, the characterization of the unsaturated hydraulic properties of a nonwoven, polypropylene geotextile is given. The geotextile has a mass per unit area of 340 g/m~2 with an apparent opening size of 0.18 mm. The characterization involves determination of the water retention function and the transmissivity - suction head relationship. The results suggest that geotextiles have unsaturated , properties quite different than most soils.
