A Study on Geosynthetics Material in soil Reinforcement

The use of geosynthetics is to improve the performance of foundation when constructing on soft compressible foundation soil.The material properties of geosynthetic are important to their use in various applications.Geosynthetics have become well established construction material for geotechnical and the environmental application in most part of the world.They are constituted of manufactured material, new product and application which are developed on a routine basic to provide solution to routine and critical problem.This report focus on recent advances on geosynthetics product, application and design methodologies required for reinforcing soil and environmental protection work, embankments on soft foundation, steep slopes, and for the backfills of retaining walls and abutments.The geosynthetic product have helped designers and contractor to solve several types of engineering problem where the use of geosynthetic material geogrids and gujcon is conventional construction material would be restricted or considerably more expansive.
