Woven geotextiles are typically used for reinforcement and stabilization applications due to their strength and durability. They are produced by interlacing yarns, which gives them a structured fabric. On the other hand, nonwoven geotextiles are created through a random arrangement of synthetic fibers or filaments, making them suitable for filtration, separation, and drainage purposes. The differences between these two types can depend on factors such as physical attributes, manufacturing process, strength, elongation, weight, and cost.
