“…These bene ts include low density, accessibility, impact resistance, exibility, less abrasiveness, health safety, a sustainable production process, emission reduction, recyclability, controlled degradability, and carbon neutrality [8,9]. They can be used in combination with other materials (for example, inert materials and synthetic bers in smaller proportions) to protect shorelines, preventing the sliding of already eroded surfaces [10] or on roads to stabilize the asphalt structure [11]. Additionally, the use of natural geotextiles helps to preserve local biodiversity, allowing the environment to regenerate more quickly and sustainably.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical performance of geotextiles made from natural bers of Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc., Thypha domingensis, and Juncus sp. The geotextiles were treated with waterproo ng resin and exposed to biodegradation for 120 days to understand their stress and strain behavior. The geotextiles was treated with colorless wood waterproo ng resin by Hydronorth® to make it less permeable, delay the degradation process, and consequently increase the material's resistance to climatic variables. Subsequently, the geotextiles was subjected to natural degradation on slopes covering an area of 10m². Samples of the exposed material to the degradation processes were collected every 30 days. The ndings reveal that the examined bers, following treatment with waterproo ng resin, exhibit the capability for extended utilization in the eld, with Thypha ber outperforming the other tested bers. These results hold signi cant potential for the incorporation of natural bers in endeavours related to environmental conservation.

Quantitative and qualitative changes in recent years in the road industry require new technological approaches to road construction. Today some of the most used materials in road construction are geosynthetics. Geosynthetics have become interesting engineering materials in a wide range of applications and geotechnical, environmental, hydraulic, environmental, and private developments. The paper presents the research on the load and operational condition of the test model of a road reinforced with different geosynthetic materials. Geogrid and geotextile were used in testing. High-strength geotextiles or geogrids can provide adequate embankment reinforcement when properly designed and selected. Both materials can be used equally well, provided with the requisite design properties. Under the influence of the load from transport, the filler used for the cells is compacted. Currently, there is a redistribution of load throughout the entire volume of the monolithic structure with the grid. The tests carried out showed that using geotextiles leads to a decrease in the settlement coefficient by 25% and the use of a geogrid -by 38%. In rural areas of Kazakhstan, where the road network is in poor condition due to weak soils, strengthening the roadway with traditional materials will require large sums of money. Reinforcing the soil of unpaved roads with geosynthetic materials will allow more rationally and at a lower cost to improve the performance of unpaved roads in rural areas of Kazakhstan.

Geosynthetics have emerged as innovative, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for a myriad of engineering challenges in construction. This paper explores the extensive applications of geosynthetics in construction, encompassing liner systems for landfills, containment zone barriers, embankments, filters, pavement drainage systems, slope stabilization, reinforcement for shallow foundations, and barriers in earthen dams. Various types of geosynthetic materials, such as geotextile, geomembrane, geogrid, geonet, geocomposite, geofiber, geobags, geopipes, geosynthetic clay liner, and geofoam, further broaden their utility. A significant focus is on soil stabilization, where geosynthetics play a crucial role in reinforcing weak soil, improving stability, erosion protection, enhanced drainage, and effective soil retention. Geosynthetics helps in improving soil strength which could be used in subgrade, embankment, slopes, foundations, and earthen dams, it could be an efficient alternate to traditional construction materials. The findings of this research have practical implications for engineers and construction professionals, offering innovative and cost-effective solutions to engineering challenges.
