The outstanding performance of geotextiles in highway construction
In the field of expressway construction, the constantly emerging innovative technologies and materials have injected new vitality into the development of the industry. Among them, geotextile with its unique performance and wide application, has become the focus of attention.
Geotextile has been fully applied in the base level and the subbase level of the expressway. It can effectively separate the aggregate of different particle sizes and avoid the mixing and uneven distribution of the aggregate, thus improving the strength and stability of the base and subbase. For example, in the cement stabilized gravel base, laying geotextile can reduce the generation of cracks and improve the bearing capacity of the pavement.
Geotextile also plays an important role in the waterproof engineering of highways. It is combined with the waterproof coil material, forming a reliable waterproof layer, effectively preventing the penetration of groundwater, and protecting the roadbed and pavement structure.
At the same time, the geotextile is also used in the highway tunnel engineering. Laying geotextile behind the tunnel lining can drainage and reduce pressure, prevent water behind the lining, reduce the force of the lining structure, and improve the safety and durability of the tunnel.
In addition, with the enhancement of environmental awareness, the environmental protection application of geotextile in highway construction has gradually received attention. It can be used for dust cover and soil remediation on the construction site to reduce the impact of construction on the environment.
It can be predicted that with the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous accumulation of engineering practice, the application of geotextile in expressway construction will be more in-depth and extensive, contributing more strength to the construction of a safer, more comfortable and environmentally friendly expressway network.
