Abstract
In regions where the soil conditions exhibit softness, engineering endeavours frequently encounter obstacles such as significant settlement and restricted load-bearing capability of shallow foundations. In order to address these challenges and to have the safety of infrastructure, it is vital to utilize techniques for improving the ground. The emergence of polymer materials has paved the way for the progression of technology for Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) foundation treatment, which is extensively applied in the construction of highways, railways, and buildings. Geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) involves the incorporation of geosynthetic materials, often reinforced with polymers, into the soil to enhance its mechanical and engineering properties. This reinforcement serves to improve the distribution of loads, reduce settlement, and ultimately amplify the overall bearing capacity.
