Improvement of Subgrade Characteristics with Inclusion of Geotextiles
An experimental program has been undertaken to study the effect of geotextile as a tensional material used for subgrade reinforcement. The standard laboratory California bearing ratio (CBR) test under both soaked and unsoaked conditions was conducted on the unreinforced soils as well as reinforced ones with geotextile layer(s). Two different types of subgrade soil, sandy and clayey soil having soaked CBR value of 19.6 and 1.7%, respectively, and two types of geotextiles were used in this study. The geotextile reinforcements were placed in samples in seven different cases. The effects of geotextile reinforcement on the bearing capacity of soil which is taken in terms of CBR value were investigated. The results show an increase in CBR value for most of the cases due to placing the geotextile layer(s). Geotextile reinforcement is found to be most effective in the case of weak soil, i.e. clayey soil. It was also observed that woven geotextile performed better than nonwoven geotextile in all the cases.
