Slope Processes, Mass Movement and Soil Erosion: A Review [PDF]

, 2017
Soil erosion and land degradation are global problems and pose major issues in many countries. Both soil erosion and mass movement are two forms of land degradation and humans play important roles in these geomorphological processes.

Water retention characterization of non-woven geotextiles: An application for wicking materials [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Non-woven geotextiles are commonly used in soil embankments for separation, filtration, and drainage purposes. While these conventional geotextiles can effectively drain gravitational water from saturated embankments, they often struggle to drain ...

An evaluation of enhanced geotextile layer in permeable pavement to improve stormwater infiltration and attenuation [PDF]

, 2014
This paper reports on an evaluation of the properties of a novel structure known as OASIS® which was designed at Coventry University as an enhancement of the commercially available geotextiles when incorporated in the permeable pavement system (PPS). The

Effects of Permeable Geotextiles of Different Densities on Soil Cracking and Evaporation Behavior

Buildings
Geotextiles are a commonly used green material which can improve the water holding capacity of soil. However, the effects of density on evaporation and cracking of geotextile–soil composites are still unclear.

An evaluation of square footing response on lime-treated geotextile-reinforced silty sand: contrasting experimental and computational approaches

Frontiers in Built Environment
Improving soil strength and reducing the anticipated settlement and construction cost is a great paradox for civil as well as geotechnical engineers. In this paper, these aspects and other suitable types of ground improvement are discussed based on the ...

Coastal defences on the KwaZulu-Natal coast of South Africa: a review with particular reference to geotextiles

Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012
Modern coastal defences have to satisfy economic, environmental and sustainability criteria. The balancing of these criteria can make the implementation of coastal defences socially, environmentally and politically complicated.
