ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a supporting fabric having a width of at least 30 cm, and preferably more than 2-5 m, and containing warp and weft yarns of a synthetic material, for bearing one or more layers of sand, gravel, stones, clay, loam or similar bulk or other material to a height of at least 10 cm, which height is in actual practice often 5-15 m. The yarns extending in the warp direction of the fabric are formed by straight warp yarns and binder warp yarns, the straight warp yarns each having a higher strength than the binder warp yarns.
The invention also comprises a method for building a road embankment, a dike, a dam, or some other structure formed from bulk material, such as, for instance, sand, gravel or stones. In such a structure, one or more layers of supporting fabric are incorporated.
