  • Technical Textiles
  • Civil Engineering
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
OBS

Woven geotextiles are composed of two perpendicular sets of parallel filaments, tapes or yarns systematically interlaced to form a planar structure. Some woven geotextiles are calendered, which consists of pressing the fabric between heated rollers. Yarns are thus softened and deformed at their crossover point and, as a result, are somewhat mechanically interlocked.

OBS

... a geotextile is any permeable textile material used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, or any geotechnical engineering-related material, that is an integral part of a man-made project, structure or system.

OBS

Monofilament woven: The woven fabric produced with monofilament yarns.

OBS

Monofilament: A single large filament from manmade fibers such as acetate, rayon, nylon, polyester, acrylic, et al.

La figure 9 correspond à une micrographie d'un géotextile tissé à partir d'un monofilament.
