Introduction to Geotextiles

1. Materials and Structure of Geotextiles: Geotextiles are usually made of synthetic fibers such as polyester or polypropylene, which have high strength and durability. Its structure is mostly non-woven or grid like, forming a uniform structure through the interweaving and winding of fibers.

2. Strengthening function of geotextiles: geotextiles can enhance and disperse loads in soil, improve the bearing capacity and stability of soil. It can effectively resist the deformation and damage of soil, and extend the service life of soil.

3. Filtering function of geotextile: geotextile can filter water and solid particles, preventing them from penetrating and mixing with each other. It can maintain the water balance in the soil, prevent the loss of soil particles and the accumulation of sediment, and maintain the stability of the soil.

4. Application fields of geotextiles: Geotextiles have a wide range of applications in civil engineering. It can be used for road base reinforcement to improve the bearing capacity and stability of roads. At the same time, it can also be used for river restoration, reducing river erosion and soil erosion. In addition, geotextiles can also be used in fields such as protective engineering, environmental protection, landfill sites, water conservancy engineering, and construction engineering.

5. Precautions for selecting geotextiles: When selecting geotextiles, specific project requirements and conditions need to be considered. Geotextiles with different specifications, materials, and strengths have their own advantages in different application scenarios. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to make reasonable choices based on specific situations and strictly control the quality during the construction process to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of geotextiles.
