Application of geotextile
In this article we will talk about the use of geotextiles. But, first you need to figure out what is geotextile? What functions does it perform? And then we will consider its application in each sphere.
Geotextile is a fabric made of polypropylene or polyester fibers. Which has strength, elasticity and good throughput. The material is a solid non-woven fabric in the form of rolls of different widths and windings.
Geotextile performs a number of functions, which ultimately gives it such a wide scope of application.
The main functions of geotextile include:· Separation
· Filtering
· Drainage
· Reinforcement
· Strengthening
· Protection.
Well, now let's move on to the areas of application of geotextile.
Road construction. In the construction of roads, crushed stone is most often used, which, in turn, after a time subsides into the ground or sand.
Due to this, the destruction and deformation of the asphalt layer occurs. Geotextile solves this problem. Since it acts as a separating layer between crushed stone and sand or earth. This significantly prolongs the life of the roadbed. And also increases the load that such a road can withstand.
Paths and platforms for paving slabs.Geotextile is also widely used for laying paving slabs on playgrounds and paths.
Due to this, the tile does not sag, the load is more evenly distributed and weeds do not germinate. Also, water on the tile surface will not linger. Here, as in the road layer, geotextile separates these layers from each other.
Waterproofing of the foundation.When building houses, geotextile is used for waterproofing the foundation.
This is necessary to protect the building from the harmful and destructive effects of water.
Arrangement of reservoirsHere geotestil performs several important tasks at once: protecting the film from damage by stones, strengthening the bottom and shoreline so that over time the soil does not disperse and the pond does not deform in shape.
Geotextile also prevents plants from germinating.
DrainageIn drainage systems, the use of geotextiles has an important role.
The material increases the service life of drainage pipes, drains water well, prevents silting of pipes and subsidence of the drainage trench soil.
This is only the main part of the application of geotextiles in various fields, in fact there are much more of them. This material is so affordable and versatile that it is used for decoration, as wedding paths, etc.
