Role of Geosynthetic in the Improvement of Strength of Soil

Abstract

Role of Geosynthetic in The Improvement of Strength of Soil Due to the globalization of the world economy and the global increase of trade, there is an increasing shipment of goods, which creates high demands on the maintenance and development of an efficient infrastructure (roads, railways and waterways). The development of infrastructural projects will be a booming sector of the construction industry around the world with the highest demands in Asia and Europe.

Sustainability concepts for the construction activities and funding problems of the contracting authorities are current boundary conditions which can be accommodated optimally with geosynthetic construction methods.

Conclusion

From this study following conclusions are made The value of optimum moisture content increases with increase in geosynthetic material content upto 2% after that there is decrease in optimum moisture content.The maximum dry density decrease with increase in geosynthetic content. There is increase in value of cohesion as percentage of geosynthetic material increase upto 2% but after that there is a decrease in value of cohesion.
