Geocomposite V.S. Wick Drain Strips
Thank you very much, guys, After looking at the comments, i have some other questions here. In the design manual, they said geocomposite needs to be overlapped for 12-in MIN., will it be hard for 4-in. wide wick drain when doing this. Emmgjld, you said wick drain is more likely to experience...- shadywai

Geocomposite V.S. Wick Drain Strips
Hi guys, I am now doing a soil nail walls design, and i am wondering that can i replace 4-in wide wick drain with 16 to 24-in geocomposite behind the shotcrete wall. In FHWA soil nail walls manual, circular no.7, it just mentioned about geocomposite drainage design. Thank you.- shadywai
