Non Woven Geotextile Functions

Non woven geotextile is one of the hallmarks of Hilon product. But many people do not know what the non woven geotextile. Though this material is very useful for Indonesia in the industrialized world. Because Hilon will discuss what it Geotextile non woven , and whether its function.
Non Woven Geotextile Is It ?

Non Woven Geotextile, or so-called Filter Fabric is a kind of non woven geotextile, shaped like a carpet fabric. And in general the material is essentially made ​​of a polymer material Polyesther (PET) or polypropylene ( PP ). The workings of Woven Geotextile rely solely on tensile strength, so it does not reduce the decline of local ( differential settlement) due to soft subgrade.

Non Woven Geo Textile Functions

for Separator
One of the functions of non woven geotextile is as a separator or a separator. Non Woven Geotextile is used to prevent mixing of the layers of material with other material. For example, in road construction projects undertaken on the basis of soft ground ( mud ). Here, non woven geo textile serves to prevent the rise of mud to systematic pavement, so as not terjadainya pumping effect that will easily damage the pavement. Non woven geo textile also serves to facilitate the process of compaction of pavement systems.

to Filters
The next function of non woven geotextile serves to prevent the transport of soil particles that exist in the water flow. One of the advantages of non woven geotextile is able to make the water pass through gotextile but suspended soil particles, it is non woven geotextile dikarena permeable properties (permeability). Applications as a filter typically used on projects subdrain (underground drainage).

For Stabilization / Stabilizer

One of the functions of non woven geo textile is often referred to as reinforcement / strengthened. For example, to be used in embankment projects, reinforced slopes, etc. Although, is still being debated among geotechnical engineer, as geotextile membrane effects work using methods that rely solely on tensile strength or tensile strength. Due to the lack of material stiffness that can lead to a local decrease in the pile still besar. Moreover Geotextile properties are easily creep, especially if exposed to water ( hydrolysis reaction ) makes it prone slopes as reinforcement material.
