What is geosynthetics?

Geosynthetics are the general name of synthetic materials used in civil engineering. As a civil engineering material, it uses synthetic polymers (such as plastics, chemical fibers, synthetic rubber, etc. ) make various types of products from raw materials and put them inside, on the surface or between various soils to strengthen or protect the soil.

Extended data:

Geosynthetics used to be called geotextiles and geomembranes. With the need of engineering, new varieties of this kind of material appear constantly.

Such as geogrids, geotextiles and bags, geotextile mats, geotextiles, composite geomembranes, bentonite waterproof blankets, composite drainage nets, etc. The original name can not accurately cover all products, so in the following period, they are called "geotextile, geomembrane and related products".
