    GEOTEXTILES
    INTRODUCTION
    Defined as permeable textile materials used in contact
    with the soil, rock, earth etc as an integral part of
    civil engineering project, structure, or system.
    Geotextiles have been used very successfully in road
    construction for over 36 years. Their primary function
    is to separate the sub base from the sub grade
    resulting in stronger road construction. The geotextile
    perform this function by providing a dense mass of
    fibres at the interface of the two layers.
    Continue.

    These early geotextiles were made of natural


    fibres, fabrics or vegetation mixed with soil to
    improve road quality, particularly when roads
    were made on unstable soil. Only recently have
    geotextiles been used and evaluated for modern
    road construction. Geotextiles today are highly
    developed products that must comply with
    numerous standards.

    DESIGN PROPERTIES

    Puncture Strength
    Burst Strength
    Dynamic Puncture
    Permeability
    Apparent Opening Size (AOS)
    Grab Tensile Strength and Elongation
    Puncture Strength
    1. To measure puncture resistance
    2. Stimulates puncture strength to static
    load of aggregates
    3. Resistance to puncture measured in
    Newton
    Burst Strength
    Stimulates strength of geotextile to a
    continuous hydraulic load
    Force causing rupture recorded in units of
    pounds per square inch or Kilo Pascal
    Dynamic Puncture

    To measure the strength of geotextile to falling


    objects
    Stimulates placement of aggregate over
    geotextile during installation stage
    Expressed in mm
    Permeability

    measures the rate at which liquids can pass through


    the geotextile
    x=k/t
    x- geotextile permittivitty (sec-1)
    k- geotextile permeability(cm/sec)
    t- geotextile thickness (mm)
    expressed in liters per square meters per second
    AREAS OF APPLICATION
    Road works

    Railway works

    Drainage

    River canals and coastal work


    Road works
    Installation Procedure for overlays
    The surface is cleaned
    Cracks are filled or repaired
    Tack coat of residual asphalt is evenly applied
    The paving fabric is laid with minimum wrinkles
    Finally hot mix overlay is placed
    Drainage
    CONCLUSION
    Geotextiles are an efficient effective and economic
    method of solving most of the geotechnical problems
    in roads.

    The design engineer should be well aware of the


    possible problems and should use this relatively new
    tool for solving them.
