A Review on Geo-Textile in Transportation Applications
Keywords:
Geotextiles, maintenance methods, infrastructureAbstract
Geotextiles, a recently developed field in civil engineering and other sectors, have a wide range of potential uses around the world. Modern pavement design and maintenance methods heavily rely on geotextiles. Its use in transportation applications has increased dramatically across the board. For building infrastructure such as roads, harbors, and many other things, geotextiles are the perfect material. They have a promising future because of their multifaceted traits.
The article includes a summary of several natural and synthetic textile fibers used to make geotextiles.
