Use Of Geo-cell In Pavement: A Review

Abstract

Study is to evaluate the performance of a relatively new method in ground improvement under a harsh condition, simulating its response to intense rainfall as a result of extreme weather. Geo-cell reinforcement is one of the soil reinforcement techniques. Geo-cell membrane increase the load carrying capacity of soil. Geo-cell are honeycomb interconnected cell that completely encase the soil and provide all-around confinement thus preventing the lateral spreading of the infill material. Geo-cells consist of a series of interconnected single cell that are manufactured from different type of polymers. Thus in this study we came across various types of geo cells their functions location and application in construction of road pavement. When the structure is constructed over loose or weak soil then it is very difficult to follow these basic criteria. A versatile method in term of its cost effectiveness for the improvement of the strength of soft soils is the provision of geo-cells.
