geotektilist

Geotektilist is a term used to describe a comprehensive catalogue or database that enumerates geotechnical tiles and related geosynthetic products. The list typically includes detailed specifications such as material composition, mechanical properties, dimensional data, and regulatory compliance information. Engineers and planners utilize the geotektilist to select appropriate geotechnical solutions for projects involving slope stabilization, retaining walls, drainage systems, and foundation reinforcement.

The primary categories recorded in a geotektilist are usually split by material class, for example: polyester, polypropylene, polyester‑reinforced polyethylene, and composite fabrics. Each entry also lists normative data such as tensile strength, elongation, puncture resistance, tearing force, and de‑watering capacity. Additional attributes may include resistance to chemical attack, UV degradation, and temperature tolerance. References to relevant industry standards—such as ASTM D 624 for geotextiles, ISO 1924 for backfilling and drainage use, and EN 13171 for multilayer geosynthetics—are also commonly provided.

Geotektilist formats vary; in many contexts, they appear as electronic spreadsheets or XML files produced by manufacturers, suppliers, or civil‑engineering software packages. Some national engineering boards maintain public geotektilists that aggregate data from multiple vendors to aid in procurement and design review processes. By providing a centralized, standardized repository, a geotektilist improves transparency in material selection, facilitates compliance with regulatory frameworks, and supports the efficient planning of geotechnical infrastructure.
