Abstract:This research article describes the preparation and characterization of geotextile-reinforced embankment made from yarns produced from polyethylene terephthalate bottles by the bottle cutter and stretching yarn prototype. The yarns produced from plastic bottles were weaved to obtain fabrics with different pattern structures. Yarns and fabrics samples were characterized including yarn number, yarn tensile, fabric thread density, fabric weight, fabric thickness, fabric breaking strength, and fabric bursting stre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
