Introduction

 In 1972, geotextiles were largely untested, and the site was set up as an
accelerated field test to determine the comparative performances of
several fabrics for use as geotextile.
 But because the site was still accessible 35 years later, it offered an
opportunity to review the ultimate potential lifetime of geotextiles in
unpaved roads.
WHAT IS GEOTEXTILE ?

 “A permeable geosynthetic comprised solely of textiles. Geotextiles are

used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, or any other geotechnical
engineering-related material as an integral part of human-made project,
structure, or system
PROPERTIES OF GEOTEXTILE

 Tensile strength
 Elongation
 To Impact Stress crack resistance
 Heat resistance
TYPES OF GEOTEXTILE

 Woven monofilament
 Woven multifilament
 Woven slit-film monofilament Woven slit-film multifilament Way.com
 Nonwoven continuous filament heat bonded
 Nonwoven continuous filament needle-punched
 Nonwoven staple needle-punched Nonwoven resin bonded
 Other woven and nonwoven combination
ADVANTAGES

 Strength-for-strength, they are lighter than woven geotextiles using the

same yarn. This makes for easier handling and laying on site; thus transport
and labour costs are less in real terms
 Knitted geotextiles can incorporate an additional fabric to form a true
composite geotextile, the fabric being simply knitted-in.
DISADVANTAGES

 Properly installed matting provide excellent erosion control but do so at

relatively high cost.
 Geotextiles and Mats may delay seed germination,due to reduction in soil
temperature. Plastic sheeting is easily vandalized, easily torn,
photodegradable, and must be disposed of at alandfill
USES OF GEOTEXTILE

 Separation
 Stabilization
 Reinforcement
 Filteration
 Drainage
 Moisture Barrier
REINFORCEMENT

 Geotextiles act as a reinforcing element to the soil matrix helping to

provide a stronger structural material
 A geotextile must be able to transfer its strength to the soil it is reinforcing.
FILTERATION

 Geotextiles act as a filter by retaining soil particles as water is allowed to

flow through the soil.
DRAINAGE

 Geotextiles can also act as a drain, gathering and discharging liquids or

gases not required functionally by the structure.
CONCLUSION

 The report is unusual in that it documents the use of a geotextile type of

fabric and its performance over a 35 year period.
 The initial purpose of the test, 35 years ago, was to determine
