Abstract

Jute is a natural eco-friendly biodegradable fibre. Its high tensile strength and high water absorption capacity along with some intrinsic properties has made it possible to develop varieties of products in the name of Jute Geotextile (JGT). A number of successful applications have been carried in the areas like road construction, river bank protection, slope stabilization, etc. In slope stabilization work, use of JGT with bio-engineering approach is an established practice in may countries. JGT in such application works initially as a protector against erosion and helps grow vegetation faster. On bio-degradation it adds nutrient to the soil. Three such important case studies for slope stabilization with JGT have been discussed with results in the paper.
