The use of the geosynthetic materials for the antierosional protection of the metallurgical tailing dumps

Abstract

The anti-erosion geosynthetic is a three-dimensional element formed of tangled extruded filaments that form a labyrinth structure. It is used for the protection against erosion of the plants and of the riverbanks. It has the capacity to protect the soil against being washed away and allows the rapid growth of the roots of the plants.
