Reinforcement |
|
Jute
geotextiles, as reinforced material, may also be used in weak soils, in which it provides
reinforcement, considerably increasing the bearing capacity of the soil and reducing
uneven settlement under conditions of subsiding ground. |

Protection
of River Banks, Seashores, Embankments etc. |
|
The
flexibility and permeability, allowing cross-flow of water make jute geotextiles a better
material for protecting riverbanks and embankments from the onslaught of floodwater and
the seashores from wave surge. The ecological advantages are even more important wherever
slopes to be protected are in contact with water. |

Rural
Road Pavement Construction |
|
Use of
geotextiles in pavements allows reduction in thickness of pavement on a soft upgrade by
the separation and reinforcement functions of geotextiles and gives less maintenance
problems for long-term use. Besides, being permeable and by allowing cross flow,
geotextiles prevent stagnation of water below the sub-grade, serves as a filter and allow
free drainage of water. |
|
Placing
geotextiles in different aggregate layers of roads and highways, is expected to minimize
effectively maintenance problems due to continuous pressure from moving vehicles. |
