Wicking behaviour of non-woven fabrics as contributing to communal facilities performance

The article considers the potential application of non-woven fabrics as water-wicking materials in communal draining systems. The authors describe the wicking behavior of non-woven fabrics, consider the dependence of wicking behavior on the structure and fiber composition, identify the impact of fiber composition, filtering capacity and wicking behavior on the drainage capacity of non-woven geotextiles.
