摘要：

The present invention relates generally to geo-textiles having an increased resistance to the negative effects of shear forces in installations or layered structures which can be adapted and arranged to utilize geo-textiles. Geo-textiles of the invention comprise at least one high-friction compound, such as one or more high-friction polymers, and methods for making and utilizing them. The high-friction characteristics of components of the invention provide increased resistance to the negative effects of shear forces in layered installations which employ them. Geo-textiles of the invention may have one or more high-friction compounds provided on either or both surfaces. Geo-textiles according to the invention are particularly useful in sloped installations where at least a portion of the layered structure is at a slope angle of greater than 4 degrees, and can be interposed between one or more of geo-membranes, geo-grids, geo-cells, geocomposite laminates and conventional geo-textiles.
