In general geotextiles are classified (synthetic or natural) textile material, which may be woven, nonwoven or knitted, This will be used in contact with soilrock or any other geotechnical material in civil engineering applications.

Welded wire mesh gabions offer the same flexibility as twisted mesh gabions with greater strength. Moreover, the superior coating technology used for Modular Gabion Systems offers greater corrosion resistance than can be achieved with twisted (woven) mesh.

An interlocking concrete paver is a pre-cast piece of concrete or brick commonly used in exterior hardscaping applications. Interlocking paving stones are installed over a compacted stone sub-base and a leveling bed of sand. Concrete paving stones can be used for walkways, patios, pool decks and driveways and airport or loading docks. Instead of connecting the pavers by pouring grout between the joints as one would with tiles, sand particles are spread over the pavers and tamped down. The sand stabilizes the interlocking pavers, yet allows for some flexibility. This type of pavement will absorb stress such as small earthquakes, freezes and thaws, and slight ground erosion by shifting each tile slightly. Therefore, they will not crack or buckle like concrete, though bad weather may make potholes.

The use of geosynthetics within mechanically stabilized earth walls and reinforced soil slopes allow for vertical grade changes along highways and at building sites at substantially less cost than conventional retaining walls. Conventional retaining walls are gravity structures which must be massive enough to resist the destabilizing forces of the retained fill. Reinforced soil walls create gravity retaining structures out of the fill itself by incorporating geosynthetic reinforcement into the design.

Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls typically consist of special backfill soil reinforced with either steel strips, steel bar mat, or polymeric materials. The reinforcement is attached to the retaining wall (panels) to provide stability of the MSE structure. On top of the retaining wall and the backfill soil, a barrier–moment slab subsystem is installed. A crash wall constructed of reinforced concrete can be cast against the MSE wall panels with steel anchors embedded between the crash wall and the MSE panels.

For construction of structures on sites underlain by thick strata of soft cohesive soils, a method of foundation soil improvement is generally required to prevent bearing capacity failure and or to avoid excessive total and differential settlements. These soft soils have a very low bearing capacity to due to their saturated state, the PVD’s are used to increase the bearing capacity of the soil by removing the excessive water present inside. The water is trapped inside the soft cohesive soils, and the consolidation of which will require a long period. The PVD’s provide the path for the trapped water to come out of the soil, thus accelerating the rate of consolidation. Historically the design of structures on soft compressible soils (clays) has created problems for civil engineers. Construction without some sort of soil treatment is usually impractical due to unpredictable long-term settlement. Although surcharging increases water pore pressure, settlement can take considerable time, often years, as the water lacks an easy path to leave the soil. Consolidation of soft cohesive soils using prefabricated vertical drains (also called wick drains or band drains) can reduce settlement times from years to months. Most settlement can occur during construction, thus keeping post-construction settlement to a minimum.

Permeable joint pavers may be impermeable bricks, cobbles, natural stone, or modular unit concrete pavers with permeable joints to allow runoff to percolate to subsurface layers. Where soil permeability is low, an under drain system connected to the storm drain system may be needed. Areas of turf block may be considered “self-treating areas,” and may drain directly to the storm drain system if they do not receive runoff from impervious areas, as allowed by the municipality. Turf block and unit pavers are considered site design measures, and heir use can help reduce the size of treatment measures, by infiltrating or temporarily storing runoff, but they are not treatment measures.

Turf block and permeable joint pavers (pavers) are used for areas with light vehicle loading, such as driveways, low-volume streets, street shoulders, and parking stalls. The terms turf block and permeable joint pavers describe systems comprised of a load-bearing, durable surface together with a pervious soil that temporarily stores water, with overflow conveyed to an outlet. The turf block surface is constructed of impermeable blocks separated by spaces and joints, filled with soil and planted with turf, through which the water can drain. Alternately, the spaces and joints of turf block may be filled with gravel.
