Geotextile Fabric: Advanced Technology for Erosion Control
For more recent environmental engineering or land management, erosion control is one of the areas receiving attention. Presently, the natural stability of earth is often put to test with erratic weather hazardous and urbanization on the rise. A potential technological solution to these issues comes in the form of geotextile fabrics, which are synthetic textile elements that replace soil filtration with enhanced mechanical strength and act as a physically- inert barrier. Geotextiles are permeable fabrics bonded together with soil, rock, or any other type of geotechnical material. Familiarity with the qualities and usages of these materials will enrich our knowledge of how they protect our infrastructure and natural environments. The Science Behind Modern Geotextiles Geotextiles are engineered material used to perform a specific function: filtration, separation, reinforcement and drainage. In comparison to a standard approach that utilizes large natural components (gravel or clay), geote...
