Abstract

As we all know construction industry is increasing day by day and there is a great need of aggregate in road construction and in building construction. This paper discusses the feasibility of using green shade fabric for application in road construction based on the laboratory investigation and field trial. Green shade fabric is made up of synthetic fiber such as polypropylene and polyethylene. These fibers are either as flat tape or threads woven or knitted in various way. The specific weight of the material is 0.97 and the melting point is 125-135°C. The fabric is holding good strength in soil and provides good resistance against the load. In this paper, test are done of different sample like sample 1, 2, 3 and sample 4 which are at ½, ¼, depth, at top and without fabric material. The results indicate that green shade net fabric can be used in road construction in case of silt soil, and holds a good promise for better improvement in road construction.
