CENTRIFUGE MODEL STUDIES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF GEOGRID REINFORCED SOIL BARRIERS OF LANDFILL COVERS BY JUTE AS GEOTEXTILE (Pages : 1 - 5)

While the employ of jute in packaging, home décor etc. is well known, the application of jute in geotextiles is a chiefly unexplored vicinity although it can propose enormous payback to the indigenous industry and agri-economy overall. Erosion control blankets are typically woven from jute & are meant to slow down the pace at which water moves across the surface. This experimental result show that satisfactory erosion control can achieved especially when jute fabric coated with bitumen. A jute woven fabric employing leno based structure was planned for mounting an asphalt superimpose fabric, accurate for low traffic roads. To evaluate the fitness of this fabric, were subjected to accelerated repeated mechanical loading and also to extensive hygral loading. For assessment, comparable tests were also conducted on concrete models without any implanted fabric and in addition on those implanted with commercial fabrics. The experiments disclose that the leno based product execute far better than the others. As a consequence of additional study it was establish that the grid-like manufacture of the new construction as also openings of appropriate extent were chiefly liable for the experimental superior performance.
