Functions
Separation
In Separation, the geotextiles prevent intermixing
of adjacent dissimilar soils or fill.
Drainage
In Drainage, geotextiles are used to provide an
avenue for the flow of water through the plane
of the geotextiles. Geotextile acts as a passage,
trapping soil particles and preventing clogging
while letting fluids and gases move freely along its
plane.
Filtration
In Filtration, the geotextiles allow for adequate
liquid flow with limited soil loss across the plane of the geotextile.
Protection
Geotextiles extend the life of the lining
system/Geomembrane by protecting it from
punctures and excessive deformation.
Moisture Barrier
Though relatively impermeable, Geotextiles fabrics
have a high load-bearing capacity, and a rougher.
Reinforcement
Geotextiles provide tensile strength to the soil or
other materials which helps to resist deformation
and maintain the structural integrity of the
material.
