Geotextiles—A Versatile Tool for Environmental Sensitive Applications in Geotechnical Engineering

Geotextiles, a group of high-performance materials, have grown during the last decades into needful auxiliaries when it comes to infrastructure, soil, construction, agriculture and environmental applications. Although geotextiles made synthetic fibers (geosynthetics) are considered modern achievement, basic concept dates back ancient times textiles consisting locally available natural were employed increase stability roads soils. In recent decades, considering growing interest in protection sustainable development based on using renewable resources recovery recycling waste various origins, use fibers-based is viable alternative, despite their limited-life service owing biodegradability. addition this feature, low cost, good mechanical properties large-scale accessibility recommend them for geo-engineering applications, sensitive applications geotechnical engineering, such as land improvements soil erosion control. This paper focuses versatile tool given high theoretic practical relevance substantiated by literature reports. Natural presented herein, well features that geo-engineering. Insights main types also included, along with wide variety materials perform specific functions.
