1Stress-strain behaviour
In order to continue its functioning in road structure, the geotextile must be able to adjust a large deformation without the breaking strain being exceeded . This means that the geotextile should remain intact under loading. The effect of reinforcement will be greater with high modulus of geotextiles because in that case the load distribution increases and therefore , an equilibrium is reached with less track deformation.
