Abstract
Geotextile utilization plays an important role in the construction of highways with no additive layers, such as asphalt concrete or cement concrete, or in a subgrade layer which affects the bearing capacity of unbounded layers. From laboratory& experimental study’s carried out to evaluate changes in the load bearing capacity of reinforced soil with these materials in highway roadbed with regard to geotextile properties.The tensile strength of geotextile and thesoil-geotextile interaction are the major factors that influence the improvement of soil. Change in fine content within the sand can change the interface behavior between soil and geotextile.Geotextile are often used as a proper ground improvement method to improve bearing capacity and reduce settlement of superstructures.
