Woven geotextile has shown excellent adaptability and functionality under various soil types and geological conditions, becoming an indispensable key material in many engineering fields.In soft soil foundations, such as the muddy soil environment in sea reclamation projects, woven geotextile plays a key reinforcement and stabilization role. Its good tensile strength and toughness can effectively disperse and withstand the upper fill and load pressure, preventing lateral displacement and excessive settlement of soft soil. Woven geotextile and soil particles are intertwined and rubbed to form a composite system, which enhances the overall stability of the foundation, just like weaving a solid "protective net" for the soft soil foundation, laying a solid foundation for subsequent engineering construction.In sandy soil areas, such as desert highway construction or some river channel regulation projects with heavy wind and sand, woven geotextile's wind erosion and sand burial resistance are prominent. It can block the erosion of wind and sand and reduce the flow of sand particles. At the same time, its air permeability and water permeability can ensure the normal penetration of water in the soil during precipitation, avoid water accumulation from damaging the project, maintain the relative stability of the soil structure, and ensure the normal operation of engineering facilities in harsh wind and sand environments.For areas with complex geological conditions, more rocks and uneven soil particles such as mountainous areas, the puncture resistance and flexibility of woven geotextile are crucial in road projects or hillside protection projects. When encountering sharp rock edges, it will not be punctured and torn easily, but will evenly disperse the stress with its own structure, and can still play a role in isolation, filtration and reinforcement, preventing soil loss and stone sliding from damaging roads or buildings, and ensuring the safety and durability of the project.In soils with high clay content, the drainage and filtration functions of woven geotextile are effectively exerted. It can quickly drain excess water from the soil, reduce soil moisture content, and avoid swelling and softening of clay due to water accumulation. At the same time, it can effectively filter clay particles to prevent them from blocking drainage channels, keep the drainage system unobstructed, and ensure the normal use and long-term stability of the project in clay areas.In short, woven geotextile, with its excellent performance in many aspects, can flexibly respond to soft silt, rough gravel, or hard rock and sticky clay environments, and escort various projects such as land reclamation, river regulation, and road construction under different geological soil conditions, becoming a valuable multifunctional material in modern engineering construction.
