Jute Geotextiles as Substitute to Synthetic Geotextiles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Jute based geotextile as a substitute to synthetic geotextiles has been reviewed in this study. The importance, advantage and disadvantage of Jute based geotextile have been highlighted. Geotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain. The degrading condition of the environment and presence of non-biodegradable residues of geotexties as a pollutant has caught attention of scientific researchers. Ecological sustainability and environment has become one of the prime issues in the modern developmental strategy .Jute fibre has been found to be an alternate and potential geotextile material. Studies have shown that lifespan and engineering properties of jute based geotextiles can be suitably modified to suit its intended use.
