Abstract

Each style of pavement will function differently depending on the strength of the sub-grade soil. In addition to several natural and synthetic geotextile materials, a number of stabilising techniques and materials were used to increase the subgrade soil's strength. Modern polymeric alternatives may almost always replace jute and coir because of their biodegradability and environmental friendliness. One of the expanding options in the contemporary context, with relevance to rising environmental concern and carbon footprint production, is the creation of technical textiles manufactured from natural fibres, such as geotextile goods for geotechnical alliances and agro textile products. Black Cotton soil is often expensive and has one or more problems, such as low shear strength, high compressibility, low hydraulic conductivity, enlargement, and contraction. This study aims to stabilise soil made of black cotton using geotextiles. examine the petrographic characteristics of geotextiles used for soil stabilisation. The effect of geotextile on compressive strength is being investigated. To increase the CBR value of subgrade soil, comparative study will be conducted using jute and coir. The major applications for Jute and Coir geotextile are to thin down pavement layers and to increase a road's carrying capacity when placed down on the subgrade (expressed as CBR percent)
