Abstract:

Soil Reinforcement is an effective and reliable technique for improving the strength and stability of soil. Geogrids are used to stabilize and improve the strength and characteristics of soil. Black cotton soil, marine clay soil and Kuttanadan clay soil are the different types of soil involved in this paper. These soils are not used for any construction purposes. The implementation of geogrids will enable the usage of these soils in construction. Laboratory tests were conducted on soil specimen with geogrids in one or more layers. Strength tests are to be conducted on the above mentioned soils. This paper focuses on the variation of strength of three types of soil by using geogrids.

Keywords:

Soil Reinforcement, Geogrids, Black Cotton Soil, Marine Clay Soil, Kuttanadan Clay Soil.
