Abstract

Generally, geosynthetics are being used in all the civil engineering works now days. But especially in road
infrastructure geosynthetics are not that much used compared to other countries of the world. Because, there are some
factors which are affecting the uses and implementation of geosynthetics. So all the factors should be known and which
problems are creating the hindrances for adoption of geosynthetics in all over the India. Even if geosynthetics have
higher strength, lowest permeability, more flexibility, unaffected by water, etc., these qualities are making it even more
usable for road construction with higher quality of road pavements compared to traditional road pavements. Still
geosynthetic is not widely used and hence study is necessary.
