Abstract
In less than 30 year, geosynthetics have revolutionized many aspects of practice, and in some applications they have entirely replaced the , ’tional construction materiaI.In many cases, the use of a geosynthetic can ’ficantly increase the safety factor,improve performance, and reduce in comparison with conventional design and construction alternates.
work in this thesis tries to define the effect of the embedment depth of first layer of reinforcement, spacing of reinforcement layers, number of Jreinforcement layers.In case of single layer of reinforcement below footing an optimum embedment depth of reinforcement is there at which maximum
reduction in settlement has been found. The settlement has been found to reduce with increase in number of reinforcement layers.the bearing capacity offooting has been found more on soil in which reinforcements are provided at closer spacing.
Many interesting stuffs concerning geotextile are studied and investigated in the thesis, which we hope that the results and conclusions achieved might be of any benefit in the geotechnical field.
