Question

Relating to geotextiles (geofabrics), describe about the significant difference in appearance and texture between the woven and nonwoven materials?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Geotextiles, made of either polypropylene or polyester, are a permeable synthetic textile fibre. In a number of civil, marine and environmental infrastructure systems, geotextiles have had a long history of use in filtration, irrigation, isolation and safety applications. 

There are 5 primary functions that geotextiles perform when used in many different applications, primarily associated with soil: 

1.) Division (separation)

2.) Improving

3.)Filtration

4.)By Protection

5.)By Drainage

In the building and landscaping industries, geotextile fabrics have long been used and created a label by stabilising the earth, optimising drainage and filtration of sites, separating aggregates and distributing imposed loads.
