Geocomposite Manufactured from PP Nonwoven/HDPE Geonet

Abstract:

Geogrids are used as reinforcement materials for soil foundation structure in the geotechnical applications. Also, geogrids have the excellent tensile strength and modulus and therefore, geogrids can show the good reinforcement function within the soil foundation structure that the loads are concentrated. However, geogrids don't have the excellent efficiency to control the migration and loss of fine soil particles to be passed due to the large apertures (opening size).The new concept of reinforced geotextile composites, which can show both functions of reinforcement and separation/drainage and was manufactured by combining nonwoven geotextiiles and geogrid or geonetusing adhesive or thermal bonding process. Geotextile-Geonet Composites compose of geotextile-geonet-geotextilesandwich use for separation and filtration functions. Hence the objective of this study is to manufacture geocomposite for easy installation and better stability of sandwich material in soil condition. This geocomposites are evaluated for its performance.
