2. Geotextile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotextile

   Geotextiles were originally intended to be a substitute for granular soil filters. Geotextiles can also be referred to as filter fabrics.In the 1950s, R.J. Barrett began working using geotextiles behind precast concrete seawalls, under precast concrete erosion control blocks, beneath large stone riprap, and in other erosion control situations. [2]

3. Gravel road - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravel_road

   Geotextile fabric may be laid to improve the stability of the subgrade layer. When geotextile fabric is used, a gravel layer with a minimum thickness of 6" (15 cm) [4] is suggested to ensure the fabric remains unexposed. Road construction guidelines suggest that the crown in the road surface begins at the center point in the road, and does not ...

5. Cellular confinement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_confinement

   Early research (Bathurst and Jarrett, 1988) [13] found that cellular confinement reinforced gravel bases are "equivalent to about twice the thickness of unreinforced gravel bases" and that geocells performed better than single sheet reinforcement schemes (geotextiles and geogrids) and were more effective in reducing lateral spreading of infill under loading than conventional reinforced bases.

6. Geocomposite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocomposite

   With a geotextile on one side it makes an effective drain on the backfilled side of retaining walls, basement walls and plaza decks. The cores are sometimes vacuum formed dimples or stiff 3-D meshes. As with wick drains, the geotextile is the filter/separator and the thick polymer core is the drain.

8. Silt fence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silt_fence

   Silt fence installed on a construction site. Silt fences are often installed as perimeter controls. They are typically used in combination with sediment basins and sediment traps, as well as with erosion controls, which are designed to retain sediment in place where soil is being disturbed by construction processes (i.e., land grading and other earthworks).

9. Geonets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geonets

   Geonets are supplied in rolls from 2.0 to 6.7 m wide. They should be placed and covered in a timely manner. While UV and heat effects are not as severe in geonets as they are in geotextile (because of thicker ribs in contrast to thin yarns and fibers), it is good practice not to leave the material exposed and subjected to accidental damage or ...
