Design Standards No. 13: Embankment Dams. Geotextiles. Chapter 19
The four major functions that geotextiles provide in embankment dams are separation, drainage, filtration (including erosion control), and reinforcement. The purpose of the design standard is to put forth guidelines for site-specific design of geotextiles incorporated in embankment dams. It provides guidelines for determining the effectiveness of using a geotextile through a review of possible geotextile applications, design methods for specific applications, geotextile properties evaluation for design and selection, and appropriate installation procedures.
