Geotextiles, a group of high-performance materials, have grown during the last decades into needful auxiliaries when it comes to infrastructure, soil, construction, agriculture and environmental applications. Although geotextiles made synthetic fibers (geosynthetics) are considered modern achievement, basic concept dates back ancient times textiles consisting locally available natural were empl...

The design of geotextile containers for dewatering applications typically requires hydraulic compatibility between the geotextile and the confined fill material. Ideally, a geotextile container must successfully retain the solid phase of the fill material and must not be clogged during the dewatering process. This becomes difficult to achieve when the fill material is fine grained and the pore ...

Localized strains due to production defects, seams and punctured zones significantly affect mechanical performance of geosynthetic materials. Accurate determination of localized strains becomes particularly important for QC/QA evaluation of these materials and plays a critical role in design problems. A number of geosynthetic specimens were tested in an accredited laboratory to determine strain...

Landslide is one of the major natural hazards the world is facing. It happens as a result of both man-made as well as natural factors. It causes severe effects on the environment as well as for the mankind. The main triggering factors of landslide are rainfall/snowfall, tectonic activities and human activities. There are many methods adopted for controlling landslides. The study was carried out...

In recent years rapid development of infrastructures in metro cities compounded with scarcity of useful land and compelled the engineers to improve the properties of soil to bear the load transferred by the infrastructure e.g Buildings, bridges, roadways railways etc. The engineering techniques of ground improvement are removal and replacement, pre-compression, vertical drains, in-situ densific...
