How to Select Geotextile Mass per Unit Area: Staple-Fiber vs Continuous-Filament Products

The results of the study were based on the filtration perforations, water permeability, resistance to drag and construction activity, rather than just the weight per square meter.

Project judgments and procurement conclusions

The weight is a simple and easy to communicate specification mark, and cannot stand alone for filtration and strengthening capabilities. The feedback layer should simultaneously check effective perforation and permittivity; the protection layer should focus on checking CBR top breaks and dynamic perforations; the isolation and soft base construction should also look for longitudinal strength and stretch. continuous-filament geotextile is usually suitable for projects with higher strength and long-term filtration requirements, and staple-fiber geotextile is more flexible for attachment to uneven surfaces and buffers.

Key parameters and quick judgement tables

UsefulCommon first-round draft picksKey indicators
Park isolation/temporary coverage100–200 g/m²Uniformity, stability of the connection
Road seclusion/feedback200–400 g/m²The water is not a problem.
Protection layer of the geomembrane300–600 g/m2 or moreCBR tops, dynamic holes
Overloaded or grossly filledDesigned by experimentThe presence, thickness, and friction of the interface

Finally, the weight of the grain is matched to the soil grade, the filling particle size and the construction equipment.

Steps to landing

  1. Get a sample of the sampleAt least the D15, D50, D85 and fine particulate matter content are specified.
  2. Identifying FunctionsThe first is to distinguish between filtering, isolation, drainage, protection or addition.
  3. Matching constructionExplanation of the maximum particle size of the filler, the height of the filler and the filler pressing equipment.
  4. Comparison reportsThe same experimental method compares the perforation, permeability and mechanical data.

Acceptance points and common risks

  • Just buy a high-weight.The opening of the gaps may still be blocked or the soil leaks.
  • Directly after the pavingUncovered clay can easily be rolled up or torn by tires.
  • Ignoring the differences along the linesThe procurement report should show both strength and breadth.
