What is geotextile?

Application of Geotextile in Road Construction
Reinforcement effect:
Geotextile reinforced roadbed: Laying geotextile on soft foundation can enhance the bearing capacity of foundation and prevent roadbed settlement and cracking.
Slope reinforcement: Laying geotextile on the slope of embankment can improve the stability of slope and prevent landslide and soil loss.

Isolation effect:
Interlayer isolation: Laying geotextile between different material layers can prevent material mixing and maintain their respective characteristics. For example, laying geotextile between roadbed and pavement base can prevent roadbed materials from entering pavement base, keeping the pavement flat and durable.

Drainage effect:
Pavement drainage: Laying geotextile under the roadbed or pavement can quickly remove water from the pavement and roadbed, and prevent softening of roadbed and cracking of pavement caused by water accumulation.
Slope drainage: Laying geotextile behind slope and retaining wall can effectively remove groundwater, reduce soil water pressure, and increase the stability of slope and retaining wall.

Filtration effect:
Filtration layer: Laying geotextiles in the drainage system can prevent soil particles from entering the drainage pipes or drainage ditches, keep the drainage system unobstructed, and extend the service life.

Protection effect:
Pavement protection: Laying geotextiles on asphalt pavement can slow down the expansion of cracks and extend the service life of the pavement.
Slope protection: Laying geotextiles on the slope surface can prevent rainwater erosion and wind erosion, and protect the stability of the slope surface.

Geotextiles are widely used in road construction, and their versatility makes them an important material for improving the quality of road projects and extending their service life. Through reasonable selection and design, the performance and durability of roads can be significantly improved.
