  2. Geotextile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotextile

    A selection of non-woven and woven geotextile samples Geotextile sandbags can be 20 m long, such as those used for the artificial reef at Narrow Neck, Queensland. [ 1 ] Geotextiles are versatile permeable fabrics that, when used in conjunction with soil , can effectively perform multiple functions, including separation, filtration ...

    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.

  5. Geomembrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomembrane

    Geomembranes are made from relatively thin continuous polymeric sheets, but they can also be made from the impregnation of geotextiles with asphalt, elastomer or polymer sprays, or as multilayered bitumen geocomposites. Continuous polymer sheet geomembranes are, by far, the most common.

  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. Nonwoven fabric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonwoven_fabric

    Nonwoven fabric or non-woven fabric is a fabric-like material made from staple fibre (short) and long fibres (continuous long), bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt , which are neither woven nor knitted . [ 1 ]

  8. Geocomposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocomposite

    With a geotextile on one side it makes an effective drain on the backfilled side of retaining walls, basement walls and plaza decks. The cores are sometimes vacuum formed dimples or stiff 3-D meshes. As with wick drains, the geotextile is the filter/separator and the thick polymer core is the drain.

  9. Geonets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geonets

    There can be no geotextile sandwiched within this overlap area. The seaming or joining of geonets is difficult. Assuming stress does not have to be transferred from one roll to the next, plastic electrical ties, threaded loops, and wires have all been used with a relatively small overlaps of 50 100 mm. Metal hog rings should never be used when ...
