With the continuous progress of water conservancy project construction, geotextiles, as a new type of building materials, have been more and more widely used in water conservancy projects.
Geotextile is an important geosynthetic material, which has the advantages of light weight, high strength, small elongation and good integrity, and can effectively improve the stability and durability of engineering. It has good water permeability and isolation. In hydraulic engineering, geotextile is mainly used in seepage prevention, reinforcement, drainage and isolation.
According to water experts, the application of geotextiles can significantly improve the anti-seepage effect of the project and reduce the loss of water resources. For example, in the construction of reservoir DAMS, the use of geotextiles as impervious layers can effectively reduce the osmotic pressure and prevent the deformation of the dam body. In addition, geotextiles can also improve the shear strength of soil and enhance the stability of slope.
According to statistics, by using geotextiles, the use of traditional materials such as concrete can be reduced, thereby reducing engineering costs. At the same time, the construction speed of geotextile is fast, which can shorten the construction period and improve the engineering efficiency.
In terms of environmental protection, geotextiles are also of great significance. It can avoid environmental damage caused by the excavation of traditional materials and is conducive to ecological balance.
