Geotextile
LECTURA
are permeable fabrics which, when used in
association with soil, have the ability to separate,
filter, reinforce, protect, or drain. (WIKIPEDIA)
defined as any permeable textile material used to
increase soil stability, provide erosion control or
aid in drainage. (CORROSIONPEDIA)
as permeable textile materials used in contact with
soil, rock, earth or any other geotechnical related
material as an integral part of civil
engineering project, structure, or system.(ASTM
1994)
Polyamide
1. Separation
Geotextiles will prevent two soil layers of different particle sizes from
mixing with each other
2. Drainage
Geotextiles will efficiently collect superfluous water from structures, such
as rainwater or surplus water, from the soil and discharge it.
3. Filtration
Geotextiles are an ideal interface for reverse filtration in the soil adjacent to
the geotextile. The complex needle-punched structure of the geotextile
enables the retention of fine particles without reducing the permeability of
the drain.
4. Reinforcement
Heavy geotextiles can be used to reinforce earth structures by means of fill
materials.
5. Protection
Geotextiles are an ideal protection from erosion of earth embankments by
wave action, currents or repeated drawdown. A layer of geotextiles can be
placed so as to prevent leaching of fine material
Woven Geotextiles
Woven geotextiles perform the functions
of separation and reinforcement. They are
referred to by tensile strength and offer a very
high load capacity.
Non-woven Geotextiles
Non-woven geotextiles are felt-like and don’t
offer much in the way of compressive, tensile,
or shear strength. But that’s ok because their
main functions are separation, filtration,
and drainage.
Polyspun Geotextiles
Polyspun geotextiles are non-woven fabrics and
their main function is separation. Referred to by
lifespan and are most commonly used as weed
barriers.
Spunbond Geotextiles
In the world of fabric manufacturing, the
spunbond process is considered the fastest
manufacturing method for nonwoven
fabrics. They are referred to by weight and
commonly used as weed barriers or as drainage
fabrics.
