A Fundamental Study on Embankment Soil Remediation Using Geotextile

Abstract

There are a variety of soil remediation methods at present. In this study the effects of geotextile drain on soil remediation were investigated in the case of reuse of surplus soil for embankment. A laboratory model test was carried out using both cohesive and sand soils. It was found from the experiment that drainage and soil remediation effects were affected by overburden pressure, gradation of soil particles and placing condition of geotextile.
