With the rapid development of the transportation industry, geotextiles have played a crucial role in the construction of infrastructure, especially in the construction of highways. In the engineering field, it is known for its enhancement, protection and filtration functions.
First, as part of the road structure, geotextiles provide critical support for the base material. It can improve the mechanical properties of the soil, increase the integrity and stability of the roadbed, effectively reduce the subsidence of the road surface and reduce the fatigue cracks caused by the vehicle load, and extend the service life of the road.
Secondly, geotextiles have good water transmission characteristics, which can establish a stable balance mechanism between soils with different water content and prevent the softening or damage caused by excessive water accumulation in local areas.
Finally, the geotextile has the characteristics of convenient cutting and easy installation in the construction, which greatly reduces the labor cost and time cost, and the geotextile is also very convenient for road maintenance in the later period.
