Geosynthetics is a new type of geotechnical engineering materials. It uses natural or man-made synthetic (plastic, chemical fiber, synthetic rubber, etc.) as raw materials to make various types of products. Artificial soil, ground and other layers of soil, Play the role of enhancing (landscape) or protecting soil. At present, it has a wide range of land, railways, hydropower, construction, seaports, mining, military, environmental protection and other fields of engineering.
    The development of modern geosynthetics is based on the development of synthetic materials-plastics, synthetic fibers and synthetic rubber. In 1870, W.John and ISHyatt in the United States invented a plastic synthesized with nitrocellulose and camphor plasticizer-"celluloid". In 1908, Leo Baekeland synthesized plastic plastic. Before the 1950s, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (nylon), polyester (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene ( PP) Solvents come out. With the successful regeneration of various plastics, various types of synthesis have been produced one after another.
    Around the 1930s, modern geotechnical materials began to use various geotechnical building materials. Geosynthetics started in 1958 in the United States by RJ Barret as the United States' use of polyvinyl chloride textiles as a coastal block stone slope bedding engineering layer. This geosynthetic material is mainly woven textiles. However, because the strength of woven geotextiles has lighter directionality and the price is also high, by the end of the 2060s, weaving non-woven fabrics (non-woven fabrics) appeared in Europe and greatly promoted the application and development of geosynthetics. . Geosynthetics, geomembranes, geonets, geonets, geonet mats, and geocells, etc., using synthetic polymers as raw materials, have come out and have developed rapidly, following the masonry, wood, steel, and cement. Five major engineering building materials.
    In order to reasonably classify geosynthetics, J. RGiroud and J. Perfetti took the lead in 1977 to call permeable polymer materials "Geotextile" and impermeable polymer materials as "Geomembrane". With the emergence of other types of geosynthetics using synthetic polymers as raw materials, JEFluet suggested the use of various types and materials of "geosynthetics" in 1983. Classification system of related products (geotextiles, geomembranes and related products). In 1983, JR Giroud proposed a geosynthetic classification method, that is, geotextile fabrics are divided into four categories (knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, non-woven materials and textiles), and related products are divided into six categories (strip material knitted fabrics, Geotextiles, geonets, geonets, plastics and composite materials), but geotextile-related products for this use have not yet been determined. The world of synthetic materials (the world of geosynthetics) collects geonet synthetic materials into five categories, namely, textiles (woven, non-woven or non-woven), geomembranes, geogrids, geotechnical materials, geotechnical drainage materials and geocomposite materials. A decentralized system spills the idea of ​​geotextiles as the prototype, and assembles the foundation for a new individual collective.
