Application of Geotextile in Highway Reinforcement
As a new type of reinforced material, geotextile is being widely used in highway engineering.
Geotextile has good physical properties and chemical stability, which can effectively enhance the carrying capacity of highway and extend the service life of highway. In practical application, the geotextile is laid between the base level and the surface layer of the highway. Through its unique fiber structure, the vehicle load is evenly dispersed to a larger area, thus reducing the deformation of the road surface and the generation of cracks.
In addition, the geotextile also has good waterproof and drainage performance, which can effectively prevent moisture penetration into the subgrade, thus reducing the risk of softening and collapse of the subgrade. This characteristic is particularly important in the road construction in rainy areas.
With the continuous progress of geotextile technology and the reduction of cost, its application prospect in highway reinforcement will be broader. In the future, we are expected to see more roads using such advanced materials to provide a more safe and more comfortable guarantee for people's travel.
