On recense deux rôles majeurs : le rôle hydraulique, le rôle mécanique (...) Dans le rôle mécanique, on citera : la fonction drain (...); la fonction filtre (...); la fonction séparation (...); la fonction protection (...); la fonction renforcement (...) Comme fonction secondaire, on citera : le rôle de conteneur lorsque le géotextile est utilisé dans le but de confiner certains matériaux, graveleux, sableux, voire bitumineux. 2, record 4, French, - conteneur

Erosion control Mattress... the placement of revetment mats on slopes to be protected is one of the methods of erosion control.... The mattress generally consist of double layers of woven fabric forms placed on the slope to be protected and filled with concrete or grout.... this type of forming system is a simple, fast, and economical technique for the placement of concrete for slope protection both above and below the water without the need for dewatering.... For normal installations, the fabric forms, prefabricated to job specifications and dimensions, are simply spread over the terrain, which has received minimal grading. The fabric form is then pumped full of mortar.... This same concept can be used where slide problems are caused by eroding of the toe of the slopes, and where access is difficult for placement of rip-rap. 1, record 5, English, - erosion%20control%20mattress

Séparation : le géotextile délimite les matériaux formant le tapis parafouille et les sols sous-jacents et évite leur interpénétration. 2, record 5, French, - tapis%20anti%2D%C3%A9rosion
