Synthetic Drain Envelope—Soil Interactions
Publication: Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division
Volume 105, Issue 4
Abstract
Synthetic drain envelope materials currently available commercially have been found to be equally effective as drain envelopes. The materials function primarily as mechanical support for the soil-drain opening interface. Soils have a limited characteristic resistance to internal hydraulic gradients. Flows causing gradients in excess of the hydraulic failure gradient of the particular soil will result in failure of the soil structural skeleton and the drain envelope.
