Abstract (EN): Mechanical damage during installation of geosynthetics affects short and long term properties of the materials. The hydraulic properties of the materials can be affected by DDI. Damage during installation was induced on two geotextiles, according with ENV ISO 10722-1: 1997. Then, the characteristic opening size of the geotextiles was defined, following EN ISO 12956, and the water flow capacity in the plane of the geosynthetics was determined, according with EN ISO 12958. Based on the performed study, reduction factors for the hydraulic properties considered are proposed to take into account the influence of damage during installation of geosynthetics.
