Study and Analysis of Soil Stabilization using Geo-grid

Abstract

Soil stabilization is a vital technique in civil engineering, particularly when constructing on weak or expansive soils. Geo-grids have emerged as a modern and efficient method to reinforce and stabilize soils. This paper investigates the effectiveness of geo-grid reinforcement in enhancing the load-bearing capacity, reducing settlement, and improving the overall performance of subgrades. A series of laboratory tests including CBR (California Bearing Ratio), UCS (Unconfined Compressive Strength), and plate load tests were conducted on native soil samples with and without geo-grid inclusion. Results demonstrate that geo-grids significantly improve soil strength characteristics, making them a viable solution for sustainable and durable ground improvement.
