Application of Geo-textile in Geo-technical Engineering- A Review
Summary
This review examined the applications of geotextiles in geotechnical engineering, covering their use in separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and containment functions across infrastructure projects including roads, ports, and retaining structures. Researchers summarised the material properties, performance characteristics, and emerging uses of geotextiles as a versatile synthetic material in civil engineering.
Geo-textiles, a recently developing field in civil engineering and other sectors, have a wide range of possible uses across the world. For infrastructure projects like building roads, ports, and other structures, geo-textiles are the ideal material. For separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, stability, barrier, and erosion protection, geo-textiles are utilized. The majority of geo-textiles consist of polyolefin, polyester, or polyamide polymers, which can lead to environmental issues such as soil contamination and microplastic build-up. These limitations make time-consuming recollection of the content important for some applications. Therefore, the creation of more ecologically responsible and biodegradable geo-textiles is desirable for a variety of application scenarios. So the researcher’s interest also shifts to the recent advancements in geo-textiles, with a focus on green geo-textiles and high-performance geo-textiles. The paper presents an overview of the different natural and synthetic textile fibers used for geotextile applications.
