All of these early attempts at encapsulating "poor-quality" soils were aimed at providing a moisture-tight barrier beneath the roadway's wearing surface... Today the major applications are the following: To encapsulate frost-sensitive silt soils from problems associated with freeze-thaw cycles; to encapsulate expansive and heavy clays from volume changes associated with wet-dry cycles; to protect subgrade soils from being exposed to water from flooding, etc.... As currently practised, membrane-encapsulated soils (MESLs) utilize geotextiles as the base material and then impregnate them with a sprayed-on bitumenuous or elastomeric product ... thereby forming bottom, sides, and top of the enclosed soil. 1, record 1, English, - membrane%20encapsulated%20soil

La fonction conteneur [des géotextiles] implique deux notions: la notion de confinement de matériaux granulaires ne disposant que d'une faible cohésion. Dans ce cas, le système est bi-composant discontinu. L'un des composants (géotextile) sert de contenant à l'autre (sol); la notion de matrice, où les vides interfibres du géotextile sont en mesure de contenir à cette échelle des matériaux visco-plastiques comme le bitume. 2, record 1, French, - couche%20de%20sol%20confin%C3%A9%20par%20membrane%20g%C3%A9otextile
