A method of maintaining soil strength and stability involves positioning a sheet of soil stabilization and strengthening material on a selected area where the strengthening and stabilization of the soil is desired. The sheet of soil stabilization and strengthening material includes a fabric layer that forms a base of the soil stabilization and strengthening material. The lower surface of the fabric layer is positioned against and engages the selected area. A moisture impervious layer is coupled to the upper surface of the fabric layer. A particulate aggregate material is embedded in the moisture impervious layer.

A synthetic resin skin material, including a base cloth and a vinyl chloride resin skin layer that is formed on the base cloth and that includes a vinyl chloride resin having a degree of polymerization of 1,600 to 3,000 and includes 3 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass of a silicon-acrylic copolymer with respect to 100 parts by mass of the vinyl chloride resin, and a manufacturing method thereof.

A method of manufacturing a fabric material with an embossed layer, and a fabric material manufactured thereby are provided. The method includes applying a composition containing a synthetic resin, an embossing resin, and an additive on one surface of the fabric sheet to form an embossed coating layer and drying the embossed coating layer. The fabric material is advantageous in that the embossed coating layer is securely retained on the fabric sheet, various designs giving an aesthetic impression, exhibiting a look of a specific texture and roughness, and having various patterns can be easily printed thereon, and decoration effects as interior and exterior house finishing goods can be enhanced with the use of the fabric material.

A decorative sheet includes a fiber base material and a first pattern. The first pattern decorates a surface of the fiber base material. The first pattern is formed by a resin portion made of resin. The resin portion adheres to the surface of the fiber base material. In the first pattern, a height of the resin portion from the surface of the fiber base material changes on the surface of the fiber base material.

A resin-coated non-woven fabric is provide that may be welded through a high-frequency welder and may be remedied in hardness, and further may have a clear embossed pattern. A resin-coated non-woven fabric of the present invention comprises: a filament non-woven fabric that is of a thermocompression-bondable type, is made of a polyethylene terephthalate and has a weight of 50 to 150 g/m.sup.2; and a resin coat layer positioned over one surface of the filament non-woven fabric and having a coating amount of 40 to 150 g/m.sup.2 after dried; wherein the resin coat layer contains 10 to 45% by mass of a vinyl chloride unit and 30 to 55% by mass of a (meth)acrylic acid ester unit, and further a surface of the resin coat layer has an embossed pattern.
