Geocell Slope Reinforcement for Soil Slopes
A reinforced soil slope, such as one built with geocell slope reinforcement, is a form ofmechanical soil stabilization using planar reinforcement elements in aslope structure with a face inclination of less than 70°. Mechanically stabilizedearth structures with a face inclination of 70° to 90°are classified as retaining walls. The main functions of a geocell-reinforced soil […]
Geotextile Functions for Railways, Farming and Drainage
Just like road construction, railway construction certainly requires the application of geotextile. One of the key geotextile functions here is to act as a separation layer, or separator, between the soil and the underlying subsoil. The separator applied will certainly not disrupt groundwater circulation. Another advantage of this layer is that it effectively dampens the vibrations […]
Geotextile for Construction: Key Applications
Now that we know the types of geotextile, woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile, questions naturally arise about how they are applied in construction. Geotextile is one of the most ideal materials for civil engineering. So here is how geotextile for construction is used. Road Construction with Geotextile Its main use is in road construction work. Geotextile is effective […]
Geotube Protection Materials and Installation
The material that forms a Geotube is made of polymers that are not UV resistant, so geotube protection materials are needed.Geotube structures must also be protected against impacts from sharp materials such as driftinglogs or collisions with small boats. Taking into account the conditions of each sectionwhere the Geotube is installed, concrete mattresses are used […]
Geotextile: Key Material for Roads and Building Foundations
Geotextile is a sheet-form liner material used in various civil engineering projects such as road construction, building foundations, railways and ponds. Made from synthetic yarn, it comes in two main types: woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile. Below we explain the main geotextile functions and types. According to the ASTM D4439 standard, geotextile is a permeable […]
Geobag Installation Standards and Procedure
Geobags, also called high-strength geotextile bags, are filled with sand, are available in many sizes, and are used on riverbanks, for coastal protection and for offshore breakwaters. This article covers geobag installation standards. Geobags, also known as Geotextile Sand Containers (GSC), are a low-cost, soft and reversible solution for coastal protection structures and for strengthening […]
