Geotextiles in India

Applications of geotextiles in civil engineering have been successfully developed and offer benefits in terms of economics, durability and p performance. Geotextiles play an important role in geotechnical engineering works, especially highways and railroads, reinforced soil, stabilisation of soil or rock slopes, drainage control, embankments and dams, tunnel constructions, reservoirs, coastal engineering and canals. This paper mainly gives information about the development and use of geotextiles in India.
