 GEOTEXTILE SELECTION

AOS (Apparent Opening Size) of the geotextile

The geotextile has to ensure a correct water filtration, water expulsion during and after filling phase and a
correct soil retention to avoid lack of filling material. On basis of the grain distribution of the filling material,
we can select the suitable AOS by using a soil retention criteria.
