Abstract

The term ‘primary construction material’ refers to soil. Most of the time, it shows poor engineering qualities. In this regard, numerous researchers are conducting numerous experiments to advance novel concepts and consequently recommend new approaches to enhance soil qualities. Many studies are still being conducted today to make these soils appropriate for various kinds of construction projects. Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) technique has gained universal acceptance for variety of applications such as retaining walls, embankments, mountainous roads, support systems for mining roofs, pipeline supports, area foundations, landscaping and hydraulic structures. The technique in its simplest sense consists of introducing reinforcement in a free draining frictional soil as backfill material. This results in a composite material that is resistant to both static and dynamic loads owing to the formation of interfacial frictional resistive forces in between the soil and reinforcement. Several experimental research works were done on Granular soils, whereas studies on cohesive soils have seen comparatively few. In practical applications, the mechanical characteristics of reinforced clayey soil, particularly with regard to shear strength phenomena, have become of highest relevance. Studies pertaining to geotextile reinforced cohesive soils are very limited. This study compares the performance of woven and non-woven geotextile, two distinct geosynthetic reinforcement materials. The primary goal is to investigate how reinforcement interacts with murrum soil. Testing for unconfined compressive strength was done in a lab study. In order to conduct the experiment, big size cylindrical soil samples were used. The experimental investigation may provide a likely solution to the topic of how two distinct geosynthetic reinforcement techniques may be compared with regard to interaction and shear parameters.
