Geotextile is a kind of geosynthetic material with the following main functions:
Isolation effect: Separate different soil structures to form a stable interfacing, so that each layer of structure can give full play to its performance.
Protection effect: geotextile can play the role of protection and buffer to the soil or water surface.
Seepage prevention effect: geotextile combined with composite geomaterials can avoid liquid seepage and gas volatilisation, ensuring the safety of the environment and buildings1.
Water conservancy engineering: used for seepage control, reinforcement, isolation, filtration, drainage of reservoirs, dams, channels, rivers, seawalls and other projects.
Road engineering: used for reinforcement, isolation, filtration, drainage of road base, road surface, slope, tunnel, bridge and other projects.
Mining engineering: used for anti-seepage, reinforcement, isolation, filtration, drainage of mining pit bottom, pit wall, yard, tailing pond and other projects.
Construction engineering: used for waterproofing, seepage control, isolation, filtration, drainage of basement, tunnel, bridge, underground and other projects.
Agricultural engineering: used in water irrigation, soil conservation, land remediation, farmland water conservancy, etc.
In summary, geotextile has a wide range of applications in many fields, is a powerful and multi-functional material.
