This document summarizes a test conducted on geotextiles to determine their apparent opening size and porosity. The test involves using a mechanical sieve shaker to shake spherical glass beads of varying sizes through a geotextile sample for 10 minutes. The weight of beads retained is measured to generate a graph of bead size versus percentage passing. From this, the average apparent opening size of the geotextile in millimeters can be determined. The porosity of a geotextile, defined as the volume of voids to total volume, is also directly calculated using an provided equation. Standards IS 14294-1995 and guidance from a geotextile testing book are referenced.
