Geotextilier

Geotextilier are permeable fabrics used in civil engineering and construction projects. They are typically made from synthetic materials such as polyester or polypropylene. Geotextiles serve several primary functions: separation, filtration, reinforcement, and drainage. As a separator, they prevent the mixing of different soil layers, which is crucial for the stability of road bases and embankments. In filtration applications, they allow water to pass through while retaining soil particles, preventing clogging of drainage systems. Geotextiles can also be used to reinforce soil, increasing its load-bearing capacity and reducing settlement, particularly in areas with weak subsoils. Their porous nature also facilitates drainage, carrying water away from saturated areas. Common applications include road construction, railway lines, retaining walls, landfill liners, and erosion control systems. The choice of geotextile depends on the specific project requirements, including the type of soil, expected loads, and environmental conditions. Their use has become widespread due to their cost-effectiveness, durability, and ability to improve the performance and longevity of infrastructure projects.
