Geotextiles are permeable fabric materials used with soil to improve its engineering properties.
They perform functions such as separation, filtration, reinforcement and drainage in civil structures.
Geotextiles separate different soil layers, filter water while retaining soil particles, reinforce weak soil to bear loads, and provide drainage paths. They are made as woven, non-woven or knitted fabrics from polymers like polypropylene and polyester.
They are widely used in road construction, embankments, retaining walls and erosion control.
