Presentation On Geo-Textile.

Geotextiles are permeable textile materials used with soil, rock, and earth to increase stability and decrease erosion from wind and water. They are made from polymers like polyester, polypropylene, and polyethylene. Geotextiles have properties like tensile strength, heat resistance, and elongation that allow them to be used for separation, stabilization, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, and waterproofing in applications like roadways, construction sites, drainage systems, and erosion control on slopes, embankments, and waterways. Coir geotextiles made from coconut fibers are also used for erosion control and last 3 to 5 years before degrading and enriching the soil.

Under instruction of

What is Geotextile?

Any permeable textile material that is used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, etc to increase stability and decrease wind and water erosion.
Permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain.

It could be defined as:

woven (looks like mail bag sacking) Non-woven needle punched (looks like felt) heat bonded (looks like ironed felt) knitted

Separation Stabilization Filtration Drainage Reinforcement Waterproofing Cushion/Protection

RAW MATERIAL OF GEOTEXTILE

Polyester

Polypropylene

Polyamide

Polyethylene

THE BASIC PROPERTIES OF GEOTEXTILE

Tensile strength

Heat resistanc

Elongation

Stress crack resistance

Impact strength

Forms of Geotextiles

Geomembrane Biomet and Bionet Geogrids

Geocell

Geonets

Geomat

Geocomposite

Applications of Geotextiles
Roadways, parking lots, loading areas and construction sites Moisture conservation (in horticulture applications) Prevention of weed growth (in horticulture applications) Prevent drainage systems from clogging with fine particles

Fluid transmission

Reduce soil piping and embankment erosion

For waterway erosion control

Civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, bank protection use Geotextiles as raw materials.

Geotextiles can improve soil strength at a lower cost than conventional soil nailing.

Geotextiles: The fabric of Erosion Control


Coir (Geotextile) is a popular solution for erosion control, slope stabilization and bioengineering, due to the fabric's substantial mechanical strength.

Coir last approximately 3 to 5 years depending on the fabric weight. The product degrades into humus, enriching the soil.
