2. Geotextile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotextile

   Geotextiles were originally intended to be a substitute for granular soil filters. Geotextiles can also be referred to as filter fabrics.In the 1950s, R.J. Barrett began working using geotextiles behind precast concrete seawalls, under precast concrete erosion control blocks, beneath large stone riprap, and in other erosion control situations. [2]

3. Cellular confinement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_confinement

   Early research (Bathurst and Jarrett, 1988) [13] found that cellular confinement reinforced gravel bases are "equivalent to about twice the thickness of unreinforced gravel bases" and that geocells performed better than single sheet reinforcement schemes (geotextiles and geogrids) and were more effective in reducing lateral spreading of infill under loading than conventional reinforced bases.

4. Geocomposite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocomposite

   Geotextiles can be laminated on one or both sides of a geomembrane for a number of purposes. The geotextiles provide increased resistance to puncture, tear propagation, and friction related to sliding, as well as providing tensile strength in and of themselves. Geotextiles are of heavy and are of the nonwoven, needle-punched variety.

5. Geosynthetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynthetics

   Geotextile sandbags protected the historic house Kliffende on Sylt island against storms, which eroded the cliffs left and right from the sandbag barrier. [1] Geotextile sandbags can be approximately 20 m long, such as those used for the artificial reef at Narrow Neck, Queensland. [1] Geosynthetics are synthetic products used to stabilize terrain.

6. Technical textile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_textile

   A technical textile is a textile product manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion. [1] Technical textiles include textiles for automotive applications, medical textiles (e.g., implants), geotextiles (reinforcement of embankments), agrotextiles (textiles for crop protection), and protective clothing (e.g., heat and radiation protection for fire fighter ...

7. Subsurface textile irrigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsurface_textile_irrigation

   A cross-sectional view of the wetting pattern provided by SSTI, as compared to drip irrigation. The systems rely on specific geotextiles to absorb the water from the drippers and to rapidly transport that water via mass flow and capillary action along the geotextile effectively turning those single drippers into billions of emitters.
