Abstract

Geobags are soil containers that are made of either woven or non-woven synthetic geotextile such as polypropylene, polyethylene materials. In this project natural geotextiles such as coir and jute are used to determine the best materials used in geobag preparation. Geobags are commonly applicable in coastal protection structures, erosion control, embankment filling etc. Hanging bag test is conducted for determining the dewatering capacity of geotextile and surcharge loading was given at the top of the geobag for 15days inorder to remove the water from the soil and UCC test was done to determine strength of the filler material. The strength was found to be increased as load increases.
