Abstract
This study was conducted for illustrating the problem of soil erosion on river banks by using geotextile. Three geotextile materials have been used in this work, namely are polyester, cotton and kenaf. The specifications of each fabric have been measured as well as the tensile strenghth of each sample before and after the experimental work. All experiments have been executed using a prototype designed especially for this work. The prototype was used as a simulator for the bank of the River Nile to study the real factors causing the erosion of the soil.The results obtained showed that a good solution for this problem could be achieved successfully through using geotextile for the protection of the soil of the river banks from being eroded. Polyester armour was found to be the best.
