Geosynthetics Classification by Physical Form
The figure provides a general geosynthetics classification based on physical form. As shown, these materials include solid and perforated plastic sheets, plastic pipes, various textile structures, and combinations of these that form a subcategory known as geocomposites.

Strictly speaking, the term geosynthetics refers to synthetic polymer-based materials. However, when considering the geotextile category, natural fibers are as important as synthetic fibers, so the subcategory “natural geotextiles” is loosely included in the general classification.
Most non-textile geosynthetics are used together with geotextiles, so it is more informative to consider the functions, structures and properties of all material types. This helps readers understand the role geotextiles play, whether used with other materials or in their place, across various geotechnical applications.

Geotextile is used as a reinforcement and separation layer for embankments on soft soil. Geotextiles on the market come in rolls with a standard width of 4 m and lengths of 50 m, 100 m, 150 m and 200 m, so geotextile joining methods matter on every project. That is why the quality of geotextile […]
Guide to Choosing Geotextile: Woven vs Non-Woven
Geotextile is a geosynthetic product that comes in two types: woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile. In general, geotextile is a polymer material used to add strength to a design. The polymers used in geotextile are polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). Each type has its own capabilities, and its use is matched to site conditions. When […]
