Use, effectiveness and applications of geotextiles in geotechnical projects: A state of the Art
Abstract
This document is an article that builds a state of the art on the use, effectiveness and applications of geotextiles in geotechnical projects. Finally, a bibliographic review is carried out with the objective of knowing the use, effectiveness and applications of geotextiles in geotechnical projects. After carrying out the due search and selection process, information was extracted from various academic works to establish categories and present them in the research as results. The review allowed the following categories to be established: Identification and classification of geotextile uses; disadvantages in the use of geotextiles; effectiveness of geotextiles in soil stabilization; analysis of the benefits and limitations of geotextiles; review of successful applications in geotextiles; cost and durability analysis and; Recommendations for the application of geotextiles. The study showed that, despite the heterogeneity of research in terms of use, there is a consensus among the authors regarding general aspects of geotextiles. Expressed with percentages or years, such aspects are: economic savings of 30 to 40% and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 90%, durability (50-100 years), resistance in fabrics from 15 kn/m to 1000 kn/m, punching force 45-450 N, elongation greater than 50%, load capacity and efficiency to improve and expand the quality of different civil works, such as floor, pavement, walls, drainage, columns, among others.
