Soil stabilization is the process of modification of engineering characteristics of soil such as strength parameters and that increases the bearing capacity of the soil. It is mostly done if the subgrade soil is not suitable to carry the structural loads. Soil stabilization increases the shear strength of the soil and also decreases the permeability […]

Retaining means to hold back the soil masses or loose soil where conditions make it impractical to let those masses assume their natural shape. Retaining walls are structures used to maintain rock, soil, or other materials in a vertical condition. Their purpose is to slope stabilization and provide useful areas at different elevations, e.g., terraces

Geosynthetics are natural or polymeric material used with soil, rock or any other related building materials. Geosynthetics have entirely changed the way civil engineering, especially geotechnical engineering, is practised. Geosynthetics gives Innovative solutions to solve severe problems economically and expediently. Geosynthetics enables the use of local materials, i.e., sustainable solutions. Many manufacturing companies around the

Soil reinforcement is a technique which is used to improve the strength and stiffness of soil. Different engineering techniques are used to enhance the strength of soil, like geogrid and geotextile. It is a combination of earth fill and reinforcing strips. They are capable of bearing large tensile strength. Soil reinforcement is a modern technique
