The Role of Polypropylene Fibers and Polypropylene Geotextile in Erosion Control
The geotextile industry research and development is growing at a fast rate and new products of variable specifications are now available for earthworks and design engineers. The nature of the material as a filter and the engineering properties of the materials used made it possible to explore a wide range of application.The polypropylene is non-biodegradable and can stand aggressive chemical exposure when placed inside a soil media.This research is conducted on a polypropylene geotextile material locally manufactured in order to gauge the retention capacity for a range of opening sizes. Tests were carried out using an erosion plate subjected to controlled flow for a specific period of time. Erosion loss is computed for different products and different soil material. The results were viewed in relation to the soil grain size distribution and the geotextile material physical properties. The data provides helpful guide for the design of erosion control system using typical geotextile material.
