Geosyntyyneja

Geosyntyyneja are engineered planar materials made from polymeric materials used with soil, rock, earth, or any other geotechnical material as part of a human-made project, structure, or system. They are commonly used in civil engineering applications to improve the performance of soil structures. Their primary functions include separation, filtration, reinforcement, drainage, and protection. Geosynthetic products encompass a range of types, including geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, geocomposites, and geocells. Geotextiles are permeable fabrics that separate different soil layers, filter out fine particles, or prevent soil erosion. Geogrids are open-mesh structures that provide tensile strength to soil, aiding in the stabilization of slopes and roads. Geonets are three-dimensional net-like structures that facilitate planar drainage. Geomembranes are impermeable barriers used for containment, such as in landfills or ponds. Geocomposites combine two or more different geosynthetic types to achieve multiple functions. Geocells are three-dimensional honeycomb structures used for soil confinement and reinforcement. The selection of the appropriate geosynthetic type depends on the specific project requirements and the engineering challenges to be addressed. Their use has become widespread due to their cost-effectiveness, durability, and ability to enhance the longevity and stability of geotechnical structures.
