Innovative Geotextile: Enhancing Sustainability and Road Durability

This study aims to explore the concept of geotextiles and their significant role in advancing sustainable road development within the field of civil engineering. Geotextiles, made from synthetic or natural fibres, are engineered materials that serve critical functions such as separation, reinforcement, drainage, filtration, and erosion control in road construction. The research delves into how the application of geotextiles fosters sustainable road infrastructure by improving soil stabilization, mitigating erosion, and enhancing water management, while simultaneously reducing the environmental footprint of construction projects. By focusing on both environmental and infrastructural benefits, the study highlights how geotextiles contribute to road durability, prolonging service life and reducing long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, the properties requirement in textile to be use as Geotextile, i.e. physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, use of biodegradable geotextiles, such as those made from coir and jute, provides an eco-friendly solution in sensitive areas, promoting natural decomposition and minimizing environmental impact are described. The findings underscore the expanding potential of geotextiles in civil engineering, advocating for their broader application in achieving long-term sustainability and resilient infrastructure in road development.
