Subject field(s)
  • 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.

CONT

D'une manière générale, les géotextiles tissés ont des armures simples (toile, sergé ou armures dérivées). Ils sont tissés à partir de fils multifilaments et/ou fils monofilament, le plus souvent en polyamide ou en polyester. (...) La figure 9 correspond à une micrographie d'un géotextile tissé à partir d'un monofilament.
