This paper investigates the effect of particle size of sand and the surface asperities of
reinforcing material on their interlocking mechanism and its influence on the interfacial shear …

Herein, micro-gradient structured polyacrylonitrile (PAN) sub-micro fibrous membranes
composed of coarse, medium, and fine (C, M, and F) fiber layers with different fiber …

The term 'composite nonwovens' refers to a category of materials different from 'nonwoven
composites', which consist of a resinous matrix reinforced by an embedded nonwoven …

The selection of a geotextile to prevent the soil suffusion in a civil engineering work is a
classical problem. The internal erosion is a key factor as the migration of fine particles …

In this study, large-size direct shear tests were conducted to determine the interfacial shear
characteristics of sand–geotextile under three different normal stresses. The geotextiles …

Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery constitutes towards the largest part of the
worldwide secondary battery market share. Indisputably, absorptive glass mat (AGM) is a …

Gradient ratio tests were conducted to investigate the filtration behaviour of staple fibre
needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles subjected to unequal biaxial tensile strains. Three …

The basic pore unit model is extended to predict the strained pore size characteristics of
woven slit-film geotextiles subjected to unequal biaxial tensile strains. The strained per cent …

Hybrid needlepunched nonwoven geotextiles are prepared in defined weight proportions of
jute and polypropylene fibres. Subsequently, a comparison is made between various …

This paper presents the results of the investigation of the performance efficiencies of silt
fence fabrics in turbidity and sediment concentration removal, and the determination of flow …
