Water retention characterization of non-woven geotextiles: An application for wicking materials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Non-woven geotextiles are commonly used in soil embankments for separation, filtration, and drainage purposes. While these conventional geotextiles can effectively drain gravitational water from saturated embankments, they often struggle to drain capillary water when the embankments are unsaturated—a typical state during their service life. This inefficiency can lead to water accumulation, potentially resulting in moisture-induced damage. To overcome this, a new geotextile, termed "wicking non-woven geotextile," has been introduced. This material is engineered to drain capillary water from unsaturated embankments more effectively. This paper aims to offer a thorough review of the unsaturated behavior of geotextiles, discussing characterization methods and experimental techniques. Furthermore, we will present the results of a capillary rise test, which will help determine the geotextile-water retention curves (GWRC) for a wicking geogrid composite

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
