Geotextiles and Geosynthetics

 

Geotextile products are engineered to provide cost-effective solutions to meet specific design requirements for separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and protection applications.

Geotextiles are available in a variety of structures and polymer compositions designed to meet a wide range of applications. It is important that all geotextiles be composed of strong, durable, chemically inert polymeric materials that are resistant to the effects of site-specific ground conditions, weather, and aging.

Geosynthetics cover products with at least one component manufactured of synthetic or natural polymer, namely in a form of band, belt or a three-dimensional structure. They are used in contact with soil or other materials in civil engineering earthworks and building constructions. Geosynthetic fabrics can be made of various polymers; of polyester (PET), polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polypropylene (PP), etc.

  1. soil reinforcement
  2. separation of soil
  3. filtrating function in soils
  4. improvement of load-bearing capacity
  5. retaining walls and
  6. bridge abutments
  7. erosion control
  8. asphalt reinforcement
  9. deep foundation

Both geotextiles, woven and knitted, are beneficially used for a wide range of both cohesive and non-cohesive soils and they support quick formation of a natural soil filter. They facilitate dissipation of pore pressures and, thanks to their strength characteristics and low elongation, they improve mechanical properties of soil and enable the construction of reinforcing ground structures in this way.

The traditional building materials for bridges are stones, timber and steel, and more recently reinforced and pre-stressed concrete. For special elements aluminum and its alloys and some types of plastics are used. These materials have different qualities of strength, workability, durability and resistance against corrosion. They differ also in their structure, texture and color or in the possibilities of surface treatment with... read more [Read More] The traditional building materials for bridges are stones, timber and steel, and more recently reinforced and pre-stressed concrete.
