Geosynthetics application for sandy soil reinforcement: A Review

الملخص

Geosynthetics are adaptable materials utilized for soil strengthening and are regarded as an innovative, efficient, and cost-effective solution for various engineering applications in construction. This document examines the various uses of geosynthetics, such as barriers in earth dams, stabilization of embankments on weak foundations, decreasing earth pressures behind retaining structures, liner systems for landfills, filtration systems, drainage for pavements, enhancing stability on steep slopes, and reinforcing shallow foundations. Various kinds of geosynthetic materials can be employed for soil reinforcement, including geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geocomposites, geofibers, geobags, geopipes, and geofoam, to improve their adaptability. A primary emphasis is on reinforcing soil to boost stability, minimize erosion, and improve drainage. The use of geosynthetics is crucial for enhancing soil strength to ensure it is appropriate for subgrade material, embankments, slopes, foundations, and earthen dams. The results of this review are important for geotechnical engineers and construction experts, providing creative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions to engineering problems.
