Geotextile Manufacturing Process in the Factory
Non-woven and woven geotextiles are the most widely and frequently used geosynthetic products in construction. Geotextile can be used for reinforcement, filtration, stabilisation and separation. So what does the geotextile manufacturing process look like? Polyester and polypropylene are the main raw materials used to make geotextile products; non-woven geotextile and woven geotextile basically use the […]
Geotextile for Road Reinforcement and Separation
Road construction commonly suffers from settlement, subsidence, rutting and so on, which is why geotextile reinforcement and separation matters. This happens because the fill used in the road can mix with the subgrade. This mixing causes typical road damage because there is no separation layer. It gets worse when the subgrade cannot carry the load, […]
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 […]
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, […]
Service Life of Non-Woven Geotextile Material
Question: Hello Petra Nusa Elshada, how long does non-woven geotextile material last when installed in the ground as a separator and reinforcement? Answer: Thank you for your question about the non-woven geotextile service life. There are several references on the durability of non-woven geotextile used as a separator. One example is material installed in 1972 […]
Geotextile Shear Strength in Soil
Soil shear strength, and with it geotextile shear strength, is a key benchmark for analysing soil bearing capacity, slope stability and the thrust acting on retaining walls. A material fails because of a critical combination of normal stress and shear stress. Read Also Woven Geotextile Geotextile According to the book Geosintetik untuk Rekayasa Jalan (Geosynthetics […]
