In road construction, geonets are used to stabilize the base layers of the road. By providing drainage and separation, geonets enhance the load-bearing capacity of the base, reducing the risk of deformation and failure under traffic loads.
2. Erosion Control
Geonets play a crucial role in controlling soil erosion on road embankments and slopes. By allowing water to drain while maintaining soil structure, geonets help prevent the erosion that can occur during heavy rainfall or flooding.
3. Retaining Walls
In the construction of retaining walls, geonets are used to improve drainage behind the wall structure. This reduces hydrostatic pressure on the wall and minimizes the risk of structural failure.
4. Pavement Design
Geonets are increasingly being integrated into pavement design to enhance overall performance. By providing additional drainage and stability, geonets contribute to longer-lasting pavement structures.
