Geotextile and its application
Geotextile - a new synthetic material that has received the widest distribution in many areas. Superior performance of the material cause its successful application in a variety of spheres of activity - it is land management, construction, development of fields, landfills, including MSW, artificial reservoirs, coastal lines. Geotextiles used for landscaping and suburban areas.
Practice shows that the scope of use of the new material is almost limitless. And that contribute to its unique qualities:
- durability;
- low cost;
- resistance to UV;
- environmental Safety;
- resistance to aggressive environments;
- High tensile strength;
- easy installation;
- in some cases - the possibility of dismantling and recycling.
Geotextiles in road construction
During the construction of public roads geotextile used at the stage device roadbed foundation. As a result, significantly increases the service life of asphalt pavement, the degree of resistance to stress. And, as a consequence, the need for repairs arises much less frequently.
The use of geotextiles in road construction provides very interesting results:
- preventing soil smearing melt, rain and groundwater under the asphalt surface;
- separation of the different layers is achieved roadway, and as a result excluded the negative reaction therebetween;
- is prevented from clogging the drainage system of the road soil particles since ground filtered geotextile;
- work expansion of the roadway and parking apparatus are greatly simplified;
- reduced flow of bulk materials;
- geo provides uniform load distribution on the web, prevents the formation of ruts.
Geotextiles for construction of tunnels
No less widely used and new material in the construction of various tunnels. Its use allows for good protection of the insulating layer from damage the concrete surface or sharp fractions of filler (The other side), but also significantly reduce the voltage conventionally occurring between rocks and concrete constructions tunnel. Another important area is in many cases the ability of the material to divert storm water drainage tunnel system, which further extends trouble-free operation of the facility.
Geotextiles in hydraulic engineering
Construction of various waterworks now seldom without modern geomaterials. The properties of geotextiles can avoid the effects of soil water erosion. In addition, the use of the material makes it possible to reduce the cost of construction of hydraulic structures, because it makes it unnecessary to further strengthening the coastline with a view to prevent erosion during floods. It is also important that the material provides quite a decent permeability of strengthening the coast.
Geotextiles and construction of railways
One of the many areas in which has been successfully used geo, - construction of railways. The use of geotextiles in this case provides a more uniform load distribution, as the flooding eliminates web fine particles. It is also important that the material of the embankment is not pressed into the soil - this further reduces material consumption at the device of the embankment.
Geotextiles in railway construction and serves to create a structure from moisture good protection. Geo becomes a perfect filter, preventing the clogging of the drainage system, thus allowing moisture to pass freely into the drainage system.
Using geo enables the formation of the reinforcing layer on soft ground, which is very important in the construction of railways. This increases the stability and load bearing capacity subgrade, and the reliability of the entire construction.
Housing construction and maintenance and the use of geotextiles
The unique properties allow the use of its geo in all areas of construction, including housing. Improvement areas, lawns, parking equipment, the construction of drainage systems - all these tasks are greatly simplified with the use of geotextiles. Geo also it has been successfully used for the construction of artificial ornamental ponds and pools in the area, slope protection and in many other cases.
Culvert geomaterial ability, the ability to evenly distribute the load and the formation of fine protection sports turf by trampling can successfully use it when the device sports sites. And this list is not the application of geotextiles ends.
