Bearing Capacity of Asphalt-Coated Jute Textile Reinforced Sand

Abstract A research study was designed and conducted to enhance the performance of conventional jute textiles by providing a coat of asphalt and reinforce loose soils. A series of laboratory plate load tests were conducted on loose sand reinforced with commercial geotextiles, conventional jute textiles and asphalt-coated jute textiles and comparisons were drawn. Elementary trials were carried to determine the optimum depth of embedment (u/D) of reinforcement material, by placing reinforcement materials at different locations through the depth of soil. Tests were continued to determine optimum vertical spacing (h/D), between the reinforcement layers by adding an additional reinforcement layer at different sections. Results from laboratory tests illustrated an increase in bearing capacity when reinforcement material was placed closer to the surface of applied load. Upon chemical hardening of asphalt, the resulting product of asphalt-coated jute textiles was found to perform much better than the conventional jute textiles and commercial synthetic geotextiles. A substantial reduction in settlement has also been observed with a maximum percentage reduction in settlement of 87%. Asphalt-coated jute textiles when used in the form of 3-dimensional cellular confinements, the load carrying capacity was found meeting minimum requirement. In a greater perspective, the results from the investigation propose a cost effective and sustainable material, which can be effectively used to reinforce soils of limited bearing capacity.
