Abstract

The usage of geosynthetic materials as a ground improvement technique has gained widespread approval due to its quality of construction, simplicity, and time-saving parameter. This study focuses on the use of geosynthetic geotextile as a reinforcement material for increasing strength properties of soils. This paper presents result of unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests for investigating the behavior and failure mechanism of geotextile reinforced soils such as clay and red soil. The influence of varying number and locations of geotextile with varying confining pressures were studied. The test results show that shear strength and deformation resistance of reinforced soils significantly increased with the number and location of geotextile layers.
