Separation

The separation prevents contact between two surfaces with different physical properties, which prevents their mixing and contamination although it allows the free flow of liquids by filtering them through the geotextile, it can be between two different layers of supplied soil or between natural and supplied soil.

To avoid mixing of materials, it must withstand the static and dynamic loads of the filler material and traffic during placement, as well as the retention of fines. The polypropylene keeps it stable against the alkalinity of the cement and inert against the various chemical elements present in the ground.

The following aspects must be taken into account in the separation function:

Filtration

Filtration is the property of a material retaining certain particles subjected to hydrodynamic forces while allowing the passage of fluids. The filter function must ensure its hydraulic stability.

In this filtration function the following parameters must be taken into account:.

Drainage

Drainage is the process by which a fluid (liquid or gas) is moved from one place to another, evacuating it. In this way, elimination is carried out by evacuation in the thickness of the geotextile without producing the washing of fines.

In this drain function the following parameters must be taken into account:.

Booster

The reinforcement of the geotextile is achieved by the properties that certain geotextiles possess, improving their mechanical properties and reducing the level of loads on the ground because it does the job of homogenizing the loads over an extensive surface.

We consider two types of reinforcements:

In this reinforcement function, the following parameters must be taken into account:.

Protection

The protection function allows the geotechnical system not to deteriorate. The geotextile acts by protecting waterproof geomembranes; so that it prevents mechanical damage from abrasion or puncture.

In this protection function, the following parameters must be taken into account:.

Contenido

El geotextil es una malla compuesta por fibras sintéticas cuyas funciones principales se basan en su resistencia mecánica a la perforación y tracción, y a su capacidad drenante.

Sirven en la construcción de sub-bases de carreteras y ferrocarriles, en presas, evitan posibles erosiones realizan funciones de drenaje en canales, muros de contención, etc.

Los geotextiles sirven para separar tierras de diferente granulometría estabilizando el terreno, para protección de láminas impermeabilizantes.

Los geotextiles pueden desempeñar distintas funciones:.
