On désigne sous le nom de géotextiles les textiles utilisés en géotechnique pour améliorer les propriétés des matériaux employés et modifier celles des structures réalisées. Les géotextiles sont fabriqués presque exclusivement avec des matières synthétiques (polyester, polypropylène, polyéthylène, polyamide, etc.) résistant aux produits chimiques, à la moisissure, aux micro-organismes et conservant les mêmes qualités face à l'humidité ou à la sécheresse. 2, record 1, French, - mat%C3%A9riaux%20g%C3%A9osynth%C3%A9tiques%20haute%20performance
