Abstract
The present study geotextiles applications are changing rapidly as research shows result and
manufacturing process improve. Geotextiles are generally used for straining and separation in road construction, to
prevent relocation and intermingling of materials, thus allowing free movement of water. The functions performed by
geotextiles are: drainage, sealing, filtration, separation, and reinforcement. The properties of geotextiles like
elongation, textile strength, diffusive permeability, flexibility, etc are predominantly affected by its molecular weight.
In 1920’s state of Carolina used a cotton textiles to reinforce the underlying materials on a road with a poor quality
soils. India is a large producer of jute. Jute is a low cost, renewable, biodegradable and eco-friendly natural product. It
is increasing acceptability among geotechnical engineers due to its bio-degradability.
