Abstract

In urban regions, the administration life of pavement on weaker soil subgrade is an influenced thoroughly because of high compressibility and plasticity behaviour. These soils have less strength, CBR value and high moisture content. Supplementally the seasonal changes affect the soil properties. Stabilization using geo-synthetic mater utilizing geo-synthetic materials for altering properties of these types of soft subgrade. To build the subgrade soil strength and to reduce the thickness of flexible pavement, Geo-synthetics are increasingly uitilized in civil engineering applications. Geo-synthetics are the financially savvy ground alteration materials which goes about as a support which builds the security and bearing limit of the soil. Many analysts prescribe the utilization of geo-manufactured material per-shapes great results in soil stabilization. From this perspective, Evaluation has been made on inadequately reviewed sand with the incorporation of geogrid materials between soil layers in different proportions. The CBR values are determined for different cumulations of subgrade thickness. The geo-engineering properties such as dry density, grain size distribution, compaction characteristics, and CBR value of poorly graded sand were evaluated and reported. To get the maximum California bearing ratio (CBR), the present study is put forward to understand the strength change in the soil with the addition of geo-synthetic materials. Such a study would be assistant in material selection based on site condition and strength gain along with economy.
