Functions of geosynthetics according to their types
SEPARATION
Needle-punched, stitched, thermally and chemically bonded geotextiles, normal geotextiles, dense knotless geomesh, and sometimes thin geomembranes.
FILTRATION
Needle-punched, stitched, thermally and chemically bonded geotextiles, and other geotextiles.
DRAINAGE
Geodrains, thick needle-punched and stitched geotextiles, and permeable geocomposites.
REINFORCEMENT
Geogrids, knotless geomesh, permeable geocomposites, needle-punched and stitched geotextiles with enhanced strength, and other geotextiles.
SURFACE EROSION PROTECTION
Cellular geomesh, geomatics, dense knotless geomesh, needle-punched and stitched geotextiles, geotextiles, and permeable geocomposites.
INSULATION (SEALING)
Single-layer and multi-layer geomembranes (including reinforced), bentomats, geomembranes, and bentonite geomembranes.
PROTECTION
Needle-punched, stitched, thermally and chemically bonded geotextiles, and other geotextiles.
