Biplanar drainage nets are geosynthetic materials used in civil engineering to improve water management, slope stabilization, and green roof systems. These innovative nets are designed to reduce erosion and ensure stability in geotechnical projects due to their unique structure, which facilitates efficient soil reinforcement and water drainage.
Geonets are advanced geosynthetic materials made primarily from high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene. They are arranged with a grid-like structure consisting of ribs or channels that create a three- dimensional network. They are primarily used for drainage, retaining walls, asphalt work, dams, landfill liners, and other geotechnical applications, as they allow surplus water to flow through their mesh-like structure. Typically, they are part of drainage systems designed to control and direct the flow of liquids, whether water or chemicals. This unique structure provides efficient in-plane drainage by optimizing transmissivity, enabling effective regulation of water and other liquid flows. Geonets must exhibit strong creep resistance and compressive strength to withstand long-term stress and pressure in engineering applications.
Geonets can be categorized into four types based on the structure, use and requirement of the various civil engineering projects.
The manufacturing process of geonets involves several steps, including:
Commonly known as biplanar nets, biplanar drainage geonets play a vital role in sustainable construction practices. These geonets deliver long service life because of their resistance to harsh UV rays, chemical exposure and environmental degradation. The energy efficiency afforded by biplanar nets is becoming more apparent, as the demand for durable infrastructure increases.
Being versatile geosynthetics, biplanar geonets are widely used in various applications.
There are some limitations and challenges associated with biplanar geonets. They are:
