Geotextiles are commercially made from synthetic fibres and have been used to enhance
bearing capacity and to reduce the settlement of weak soil foundations. Several efforts have …

Sheet pile walls are driven into the ground surface to create a barrier that can withstand
lateral earth pressure, hydrostatic pressures and additional pressure from surcharge loads …

The present study aims to assess the use of empty banana–plantain fruit bunches as
geotextile materials for erosion control and soil reinforcement. This study examined the …

The paper presents the application potential of untreated/treated woven/non-woven coir
geotextile in the unpaved roads. The chemical used for the treatment of the coir geotextiles …

Piled-raft foundation nowadays has become the most popular foundation to be used in high-
rise buildings. It has been found that traditional foundations are insufficient to take such …

This research focuses on soft clay improvement by using Kenaf textile as a natural geotextile
reinforcement. A series of small-scale laboratory tests were conducted to study the impact of …

Soil reinforcement using natural fibers with sufficient engineering strength has a vital role in
solving geotechnical problems. Rattan is an eco-friendly and easily available natural fiber …

The paper presents the numerical investigations into the ultimate bearing capacity of the
rigid strip footing built on geogrid-reinforced sand over soft clay slope, by means of a …

An attempt was made to investigate the feasibility of cement bags obtained from construction
sites to be used as planner reinforcement in sands by conducting laboratory load-settlement …

The present work aims to assess the pressure-settlement behaviour of sand beds under a
square footing reinforced with coir geotextile using the PLAXIS 3D software. The angle of …
