Protection
Protection in theory
The nonwoven geotextile fabric, when used as a protection artifact, absorbs the local stresses, preventing damage to the protected material.
When applied within another geotechnical work, the geotextile protects against mechanical damage, like the drilling of a geomembrane in a geomembrane protection workspace.
More Information
To know if the geotextile is getting its job done at this function, you should keep na eye for these factors:
- Absorbing compressive forces
- Tear resistance
- Abrasion resistance
- Resistance to traction and punching
Major Applications
| Asphalt Resurfacing | Geomembrane Protection |
Benefits
| Increases life span of the protected material | Low implementation cost |
| Decreases quantity of the material layer |
