    Soil reinforcement is a way to increase the strength and stiffness of soil.

    In old ways, it used to reduce soil erosion at marshy land and river boundary sand.

    It is done by placing a bio-fabric i.e, bamboo, in the pattern of the network in soil with a mixture of aggregate-sand to make it stiff and compacted mass.

    These bio-fabric acts as a reinforcement and resist tensile stresses, which ultimately reduce erosion.

    But, This technique does not give satisfactory results as compared to modern retaining Structures made of concrete.

    In simple terms, soil reinforcement is a technique used to improve the stiffness and strength of soil using geo-engineering methods. It is particularly useful in areas with soft soil as it cannot provide adequate support to any construction or building. This method is adopted where the soil strata is weak and soil is susceptible.

    In simple terms, soil reinforcement is a technique used to improve the stiffness and strength of soil using geo-engineering methods.

    Soil reinforcement by fiber material is considered an effective ground improvement method.

    What is the meaning of Soil Reinforcement?

    Soil reinforcement technique:

    • The soil reinforcement is simply 1 picnic used to improve the stiffness and strength parameter of soil by using geoengineering methods.
    • A long time ago, natural fibre was used to reinforce the soil to improve its strength and stiffness.
    • It is particularly useful in areas with soft soil is present. Because soft soil and not provide adequate support to any type of construction.
    • Rainforest soil is the combination of compacted earth fills with tensile reinforcements to create an Earth structure.
    • Soil reinforcement generally invisible in the cornerstone of any structure built on soil with the very poor mechanical characteristics.

    Thank you.

    Soil reinforcement is generally carried out in a case where the soil is loose or soft and of low shear strength.
    Thus, with the help of this technique, we can increase the engineering property of soil such as shear strength, bearing capacity, reduction in permeability, reduction in compressibility, etc.
    There are various techniques for soil reinforcement such as by
    – geotextiles
    – soil nailing
    – fiber reinforcement
    So, with the help of soil reinforcement, we can make more durable, stable, and free from the settlement.

    Soil reinforcement is a process of improving soil stability against slope failure.

    Basically geogrid is used as reinforcement in soil stabilization

    Various type of geogrid is classified as:

    • Extruded Geogrid type
    • Woven Geogrid type
    • Bonded Geogrid type

    Best on stretching

    • Uniaxial geogrid type
    • Biaxial geogrid type

    Geogrid is widely used in canal embankment, highway embankment and  soil slope stabilization.

    Soil r/f is the act of improving soil strength to enable its support & to carry more load.

    Two common eg’s are

    Mixing a soil amendment such as lime into weak clayey soil & re-compacting to improve soil-bearing capacity.

    Installing plastic or composite webbing layers (called geogrids material) alternating with compacting soil to produce a stronger sloped soil structure is also an eg for soil r/f.
