Coir Geotextiles in Infrastructure Projects Balan K. Rajadhani Institute of Engineering and Technology, Thiruvnanthapuram, India Online published on 13 February, 2018. Abstract Geotextiles made of natural fibres like coir and jute are extensively used for erosion control applications. Bueareu of Indian Standard Specification on erosion control using coir geotextiles specifies three varieties of woven coir geotextiles based on their mass per unit area. However, the selection of coir geotextiles for a particular site is arbitrory and based on experience. A scientific method of selection of coir geotextiles, both woven and non-woven, based on their opening size has been discussed in this paper. The method is based on Universal Soil Loss Equation and uses Fuzzy Logic in MATLAB. Also the paper discuss the potential of ground improvement using coir geocell and also the influence of different types of fill material in the geocell. Top |
