26、 geocomposite.4. Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to aid designers, purchasers, installers, contractors, owners, operators, and agencies in establishingthe minimum criteria to specify drainage geocomposites. Specifically, this guide presents a methodology for determining theallowable f
27、low rate of a candidate drainage geocomposite. The resulting value is then compared to a required (or design) flow ratefor a product-specific and site-specific factor of safety.4.2 It is recognized that there are other products that may achieve the same performance requirements but are not listed in
28、 thisdocument. Manufacturers of such products are invited to implement this standard guide with the appropriate information.4.3 It should be recognized that parties, organizations, or representatives may perform additional tests other than those requiredin this guide. In this case, the more stringen
29、t project-specific tests will then take precedence.4.4 By simulating site-specific conditions (inclusive of site-specific liquids and temperatures except for load duration beyond100 h, chemical/biological clogging, and geotextile intrusion), additional reduction factors need not be explicitly accoun
30、ted for incertain products.5. Classification5.1 GeneralThis guide covers geocomposite drainage products or structures intended for blanket subsurface drainageapplications. Five distinctly different product designs are included in this guide as geocomposite drainage products:5.2 Biaxial Geonet Geocom
31、positeA geonet consisting of an integrally connected parallel set of ribs overlying a similar set ofribs at typically opposite angles, typically heat laminated with nonwoven geotextiles on the top and bottom to form thegeocomposite. Note that single-sided biaxial geonet geocomposites are available i
32、n the marketplace as well; in that particular case,only one side of the geonet will be heat laminated with a nonwoven geotextile.D7931 1825.3 Triaxial Geonet GeocompositeAgeonet consisting of an integrally connected parallel set of ribs, or forming an integratedweb with a flow direction mainly orien
33、ted in the machine direction, typically heat laminated with nonwoven geotextiles on the topand bottom to form the geonet geocomposite. It should be noted that single-sided triaxial geonet geocomposites are available inthe marketplace as well; in that particular case, only one side of the geonet will
34、 be heat laminated with a nonwoven geotextile.5.4 Multilinear Drainage GeocompositeA manufactured product composed of a series of parallel single drainage conduitsregularly spaced across its width sandwiched between two or more geosynthetics.5.5 Structured Geomembrane SystemAgeomembrane with integra
35、ted drainage nubs, spikes, or both.The drainage nubs, whenoverlain or heat laminated by a filter fabric (heat burnished on one side), will form the structured geomembrane drainagegeocomposite.5.6 Sheet Drain GeocompositeA three-dimensional structured core consisting of integrally connected voids wit
36、h a flowdirection mainly oriented in the machine direction, voids, typically heat laminated with a nonwoven geotextile or monofilamentfilter either on the top or bottom (or both) to form the drainage geocomposite. It should be noted that single-sided sheet draingeocomposites are available in the mar
37、ketplace as well; in that particular case, only one side of the structure will be laminated witha nonwoven geotextile or monofilament filter geotextile.5.7 Geocomposite Edge DrainA geotextile wrapped around a structural polymer drainage core used for subsurface drainageapplications in highway, turf,
38、 and environmental applications. The product is typically 1 in. (25 mm) thick and available in 6 in.(150 mm), 12 in. (300 mm), 18 in. (450 mm), 24 in. (600 mm), 30 in. (750 mm), and 36 in. (900 mm) widths.6. Determination of the qallow of a Candidate Drainage Geocomposite6.1 Basic Formulation3This g
39、uide is focused on determination of a qallow value using the following formula:qallow 5q100F 1RFCR1RFCC1RFBC1RFGIG (1)qallow 5q100F 1RFCR 3RFCC 3RFBC 3RFGIG (1)where:qallow = allowable flow rate for a drainage geocomposite,q100 = initial flow rate determined under simulated conditions for 100-h dura
40、tion,RFCR = reduction factor for creep to account for long-term behavior,RFCC = reduction factor for chemical clogging,RFBC = reduction factor for biological clogging, andRFGI = reduction factor for geotextile intrusion past the initial 100-h seating time.NOTE 1The value of qallow is typically used
41、to determine the product-specific and site-specific flow rate factor of safety as follows:FS5qallowqreqd(2)The value of qreqd is a design issue and is not addressed in this guide. Likewise, the numeric value of the factor of safety is not addressed in thisguide. Suffice it to say that, depending on
42、the duration and criticality of the situation, FS values should be conservative unless experience allowsotherwise.6.2 Upon selecting the candidate drainage geocomposite product, one must obtain the 100-h duration flow rate according to theTest Method D4716/D4716M transmissivity test or other appropr
43、iate transmissivity test method such as Specification D7001,which is more appropriate for high-flow applications (seeapplications. (See 6.2.2 for more background on which transmissivity testmethod to select).select.) This establishes the base value to which drainage core creep beyond 100 h, clogging
44、 from chemicals andbiological matter, and geotextile intrusion must be accounted for.6.2.1 It is recognized that the default duration listed in Test Method D4716/D4716M is 15 min. This guide purposely requiresthat the test conditions be maintained for 100 h, and simulating site-specific loading and
45、boundary conditions.6.2.2 While Test Method D4716/D4716M has historically been the “default” transmissivity test for geosynthetic drainagegeocomposites, this transmissivity test method is limited to the size of the specimen being tested. Zimmel et al. (2011) identifiedthat specimen size can signific
46、antly affect transmissivity tests performed in accordance with Test Method D4716/D4716M;however, recent research has shown that Test Method D4716/D4716M typically underestimates the actual flow rates at a certain3 This guide is updated and modified from GRI-GC 8 “Determination of the Allowable Flow

49、d engineering practice identifies that the transmissivity is only valid for laminar flow conditions,specifically when Darcys law is valid, and then the transmissivity is an intrinsic property of the product and not dependent onexternal conditions such as the hydraulic gradient. According to Darcys law, transmissivity should be a constant. However,transmissivity testing of drainage geocomposites has shown that transmissivity is not a constant, but is associated not only withthe normal load but also with the hydraulic gradient and selected boundary condi
