Use of Geo-synthetic Fiber for Strengthening of Sub Grade in Construction of Road

Authors(1) :-Shalini Tripathi

Geo synthetic materials are used for so many purposes in civil engineering projects. Strengthening, filtration, drainage are the main purposes of the geo synthetic fiber. Geo synthetic reinforcing elements are used to strengthen the ground surface or sub grade in soft and weak soil. Geo synthetic fiber increases the performance and life of highways it also reduce the maintenance cost of the highways. Geo synthetic layer of the material is used below the granular sub base. Geo synthetic layer also reduce the maintenance of the sub grade. It is a light weight polymer based material and easy to use in sub grade soil. By mixing the geo textile with the soil we can achieve the required strength of the sub grade.
