Geotechnical engineering nonwoven geotextiles

Geotextiles are widely used in developed nations to overcome numerous geotechnical engineering-related problems efficiently, safely and economically. Geotextile materials may be of a nonwoven, woven, knitted, netted, sandwiched or composite stracture. The use of geotextiles is specific to the location, so in addition to the inherent...

Nonwoven geotextHes are permeable geosynthetics made of nonwoven materials used with soil, rock, or other geotechnical-related material as an integral part of a civil engineering project, structure, or system. They are frequently made from synthetic polymers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, and polyester, as well as natural fibres such as jute, sisal, and coir. The European standards (EN) for the specifications and performance requirements of geotextiles in 11 application areas (roads and other...
