16、al drains (PVDs) are used to accelerate the settlement of soils under a given surcharge loading. Discharge capacity is, therefore, one of the most important properties for PVDs. The discharge capacity decreases gradually due to alteration in shape of core materials under soil pressure and deformatio

17、n of the geotextile filter into the core structure as time passes.In highly compressible soils (e.g. peat and gyttja) the relative compression that takes place during the consolidation process, may cause more or less significant buckling of the drains.In less compressible soils (settlements lower th

25、ined length.4 PrincipleThe factors affecting the discharge capacity of PVDs measured according to this International Standard are limited to the intrusion of the filter into the core linked to the filter stiffness, the drainage core stiffness, creep and geometry of the core to some extent and creep

26、of the geotextile filter to some extent, confining pressure, and hydraulic gradient.PVD is enveloped by a flexible rubber membrane to simulate the deformation of the geotextile filter into the core structure and the discharge capacity is determined in straight and buckled conditions.5 Apparatus and

27、materials5.1 Discharge capacity apparatus5.1.1 The discharge capacity apparatus satisfies the following requirements.a) The apparatus shall be capable of maintaining a constant head loss at different water levels, at least those corresponding to hydraulic gradients of 0,1 and 1,0, simulating the pre

28、ssure arising from the earth mass when PVDs are mounted vertically within the ground to serve as discharging interstitial water, and testing PVDs in straight and buckled conditions.b) The apparatus is mainly comprised of a pressure cell, a water supply portion (see Figure 1) and buckling device (see

29、 Figure 2). The buckling device is used to simulate the deformation of PVDs due to the relative compression in highly compressible soils. The pressure cell shall be capable of inserting the buckling device and maintain mounted specimens in straight and buckled conditions.c) The distance between the

30、two slots used to insert the specimen in the cell shall be (300 10) mm.5.1.2 A system allowing to adjust the head loss up to 500 mm shall be used.5.1.3 The buckling device satisfies the following requirements.a) The device is capable of buckling the specimen and maintaining the shape of the buckled

31、specimen. It is mainly comprised of supporters, guide frames, central and fixing pins and pushing rod (see Figure 2).b) The guide frame shall be fixed and supported inside the pressure cell.c) The guide frames shall consist of two holes and one slit to tie fixing pins and move the central pin. The d

32、istance between two holes shall be (60 0,1) mm and the length of slit should be greater than 60 mm in order to set up 60 mm and 55 mm of A and B respectively.d) The diameters of fixing pins and central pin shall be (5 0,5) mm.NOTE Other pin diameters can be selected with the agreement of all concern

33、ed persons or parties, provided that the pin diameter used is given in the test report.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 18325:2015ISO 18325:2015(E)Key1 water reservoir 8 specimen (PVD)2 water inlet 9 pressure controller3 water outlet 10 slots4 equipment for determining the amount of water 11 man

36、e deformation and intrusion into the drain channels.5.3 WaterThe water shall be at a temperature between 18 C and 22 C and the water temperature should preferably be at or above the ambient temperature of the test laboratory. The oxygen content shall not exceed 10 mg/kg, when measured at the point w

37、here the water enters the apparatus. The water shall be filtered if suspended solids are visible to the naked eye or if solids accumulate on or in the specimen thus reducing the flow with time.4 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 18325:2015ISO 18325:2015(E)As the temperature correction (see Annex A)

38、 relates only to laminar flow, it is advisable to work at temperatures as close as possible to 20 C to minimize inaccuracies associated with inappropriate correction factors, should the flow be non-laminar.NOTE The biological activity in the water is the one of facts for air bubbles, which will affe

39、ct the index discharge capacity in a negative way. Some biocides have been shown to reduce the biological activity. Demineralized water of grade 2 according to ISO 3696 can also be used to prevent this risk of biological activity.5.4 Pressure controllerThe pressure controller shall be provided for c

40、ontrolling the pressure of (10 300) kPa applied to the mounted specimen to an accuracy of 5 %. It shall be capable of maintaining the proposed pressure on the PVDs without any deformation which would influence the test results.5.5 Equipment for determining the amount of waterWhen the amount of water

41、 is determined by measurements of volume, a measuring vessel for determining the volume to an accuracy of 1 % is required. When the volume is determined by weighing, it shall be determined to an accuracy of 1 %.5.6 Dissolved-oxygen meter, or apparatus in accordance with ISO 5813.5.7 Stopwatch, for m

42、easuring time to an accuracy of 0,1 s.5.8 Thermometer, to determine the water temperature used for the flow measurements to an accuracy of 0,2 C.6 Test specimens6.1 HandlingThe sample shall not be folded and shall be handled as infrequently as possible to avoid disturbance to its structure. The samp

43、le shall be kept in a flat position without any load.6.2 SelectionTake specimens from the sample in accordance with ISO 9862.6.3 Number and dimensionsCut three test specimens from the sample with the length parallel to the machine direction. The full width of the product shall be tested.6.4 Specimen

44、 conditionThe specimens shall be clean, free from surface deposits and without visible damage or folding marks.7 Test procedure7.1 Cut the test specimens from the sample exposed to a temperature of (20 2) C for 24 h. The specimens shall be longer than the confined length. The geotextile portion that

45、 is unexposed to the pressure should be cut to ensure smooth entry and exit of water flow through the specimen. ISO 2015 All rights reserved 5BS ISO 18325:2015ISO 18325:2015(E)7.2 Place the specimens under water containing a wetting agent at laboratory temperature, gently stir to remove air bubbles

46、and leave to saturate for at least 12 h. Use an aryl alkyl sodium sulfonate at a concentration of 0,1 % by volume as the wetting agent.7.3 For specimen installation in straight condition, use the procedure described in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2.7.3.1 Wrap the specimen with flexible membrane except top and bot

47、tom parts. Place the specimen in the pressure cell and insert it into the slots. The specimen shall be mounted in a straight line.7.3.2 Cover the top and bottom parts of specimen with flexible membrane so as to ensure no wrinkles are formed. See that the membrane wrapped to the specimen is watertigh

48、t without leakage. The confined length of the PVD exposed to pressure shall be (300 10) mm for tests in straight condition.7.4 For specimen installation in buckled condition, use the procedure described in 7.4.1 to 7.4.4.7.4.1 Fix the guide frames to the supporters in the pressure cell. Insert two f

49、ixing pins into the holes and tie them to a value of A of (60 1) mm in guide frames. Insert the central pin into the slit and place to the left end.7.4.2 Wrap the specimen with flexible membrane except top and bottom parts. Place the specimen behind the fixing pins and in front of the central pin of guide frames in the pressure cell and insert it into the slots (see Figure 2). Move the centre of specimen at a constant speed of (120 10) mm/min using the central pin until B becomes 55 mm (using the pu
