<p>A method for stabilizing soil and reinforcing vegetation includes placing a single-layered, three-dimensional, high-profile woven geotextile fabric (10) into the soil. The single-layered, homogeneous fabric (10) is woven from monofilament yarns (12, 14) having d ifferent heat shrinkage characteristics such that, when heated, the fabric forms a th ick three-dimensional, cuspated profile. The monofilamen t yarns (12, 14) have a relatively high tensile strength an a relatively high modulu s at 10 percent elongation so as to provide a fabric whi ch is greater in strength and more dimensionally stable than other geotextile s tructures. Thus, the geotextile fabric (10) is suitable for use on slopes, ditches and other embankments and surfaces where erosion control, soil stabilization and or vegetative reinforcement may be necessary. The homogeneous, single-component nature of the fabric (10) promo tes easier handling and minimizes failure points, while offering a thick, strong and dimensionally stable product upon installation.</p> |
