STABILIZATION OF SOILS USING GEOSYNTHETICS

CIVIL ENGINEERING

A Large variety of reinforcing materials emerged and have been developed for construction purposes, including: metal strips ,bar mats, Geotextile sheets, Geo Grids etc. Reinforced soil technologies has been extensively used during the past few decades in the construction of (railway formation, highway embarkments, earth dams and retaining walls). As a reinforcing material the Geo synthetics are widely used in engineering practice to strengthen the foundation, slope, road, pavement, crushed-stone column etc. Pavement is a hard crust constructed over the natural soil for the purpose of providing and even surface for the vehicles. In pavement construction soil stabilization is also deals with the construction practice(Highways, dams, bridges, railway structures)it shows the various mean by which the stabilization responds of different soils can be identified. This paper presents soil geostnthetic intraction properties for different types of soils, four types of soils were used with geocomposit reinforced materials for conducting CBR test to finding the density of soil samples and mechanical strength of sub grade soil.These geo synthetic products have helped desigeners and contractors to solve several types of engineering problems where the use of conventional construction materials would be restricted or considerably more expensive.
