Abstract-
Geotextiles are generally used for straining and separation in road constructions, to prevent relocation and intermingling of materials, thus allowing free movement of water.Geotextiles act as a soupy mass between the two consecutive layers of soil. The geotextiles network should be enough stable such that no difficulty would arise during carrying, installation, and repair work in future. It is commonly divided into two categories: Woven and Nonwoven geotextiles. The functions performed by geotextiles are: drainage, sealing, filtration, separation, and reinforcement. The properties of geotextiles like, elongation, tensile strength, diffusive permeability, flexibility, etc are predominantly affected by its molecular weight. Polyamide, Polypropylene, Polyester, Polyethylene are the four main raw used in the fabrication of geotextiles. After 2005, The World Bank made geotextiles use mandatory in infrastructures funded by it,” says Aditya Agarwaal, CEO of Jeevan Product which resulted in growing awareness about use of geotextiles.
