Geomembrane Tips for Small Reservoirs (Embung)
Geomembrane is a geosynthetic product that is impermeable. Geomembrane is generally used to line storage facilities so that liquids do not seep into embankment fill and the like, which makes geomembrane for small reservoirs (embung) a common application. In general, geomembrane for storage facilities such as an embung (small retention reservoir) should be ≥ 1 […]
Geomembrane Seam Failure and Welding Tests
Geomembrane is a geosynthetic product that is impermeable. In general, geomembrane must be seamed to prevent leaks at the overlaps, and geomembrane seam failure is a common cause of leakage. Geomembrane seams are divided into 3 types: Single Hot Wedge, Double Hot Wedge and Extrusion Fillet. Geomembrane seams can be damaged or fail. It is […]
What Is Concrete Curing?
What is concrete curing? Curing is the concrete maintenance carried out once concrete begins to harden. Its purpose is to prevent the concrete from losing moisture and to maintain its humidity and temperature, so that the concrete reaches good quality and strength. Curing can be carried out when the concrete enters the hardening phase (on […]
Difference Between Woven and Non-Woven Geotextile
Both woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile are widely used in many projects, but what is the difference between woven and non-woven? Woven and non-woven geotextiles are both made from polyester fibres, yet each has different characteristics and functions. The two types of geotextile clearly look different. Woven geotextile has woven polyester fibres and at first […]
Soft Soil Improvement Methods
Soft soil improvement means increasing the bearing capacity of the soil itself so that it is good enough to carry the loads of the structures built on it. Several factors need to be considered when improving soil, including time efficiency, cost savings and other supporting factors. Several methods can be used to improve soft soil […]
Reinforcement Function of Geotextile
The geotextile reinforcement function means a geotextile can strengthen an aggregate system on soil in different directions, depending on the geometry, the bearing capacity of the subsoil, the traffic load and the number of load repetitions. If loads and axle pressures are high, the subsoil is very soft or the aggregate layer is very thin, […]
