GEOTEXTILES IN TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS
GEOTEXTILE
Geotextile is defined as a permeable textile material used in contact with soil, rock, earth etc as an integral part of civil engineering project, structure or system
It may be of natural materials such as jute,coir,cotton etc.
Or of synthetic polymers such as polypropylene, polyamide, polyester,polyethylene
FUNCTIONS OF GEOTEXTILES
1. SEPARATION
2. FILTERATION
3. DRAINAGE
4.REINFORCEMENT
5. SEALING FUNCTION
DESIGN PROPERTIES
1. PUNCTURE STRENGTH
2. BURST STRENGTH
3. DYNAMIC PUNTURE
4. GRAB TENSILE STRENGTH AND
ELONGATION
5. PERMEABILITY
6. A O S
CONCLUSION
GEOTEXTILES ARE AN EFFICIENT EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMIC METHOD OF SOLVING MOST OF THE GEOTECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN ROADS.
THE DESIGN ENGINEER SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SHOULD USE THIS RELATIVELY NEW TOOL FOR SOLVING
THEM.
FOR THIS HE SHOULD UNDERSTAND PROPERTIES AND CAPABILITIES OF THE GEOTEXTILE MATIERIAL AT HAND.

APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN TRANSPORTATION
INTRODUCTION
Transportation is a driving force behind development and the well being of all people around the world.
Transportation contributes to the economic, industrial, social and cultural development of any country.
The inadequate transportation facilities retard the process socio-economic development of the country.
There is a need for application of electronic & information technology in improving the efficiency of road transportation and safety on roads.
Not much development has taken place in India for integration of Information Technology and Traffic Planning so far.
Traffic Planning and Management in India has become an integral part of transportation.
So there is a need to select the technology , which is best suited to the needs of the country and at the same time is cost effective and efficient.

The various Information Technology applications available now are mainly aimed at driving comfort and accessibility. However for a long time now, all sorts of Information Technology systems have been developed with road safety as their primary purpose. Such systems are mainly aimed at supporting the driver in the task of driving, to minimize errors unsafe behavioural aspects. Information Technology helps to detect hazards and provide, in real time, warning and traffic control actions for motorists to negotiate roadway natural hazards. These warnings include on-site traffic control signals, road closure gates, in-vehicle audio alarms for patrol vehicles and notifications to highway maintenance agencies. Information Technology also offers sensing and communicating systems which improve the effectiveness of protective devices such as seat belts and air bags, thereby contributing to the reduction of crash consequences.

From Textile to Geotextiles
A wide variety of textile structures is available for a broad range of geotechnical applications.The textile structure and the geotechnical environment closely interacts and the understanding of this is vital for the selection of textile materials for geotextile applications and also for its design. The Multiaxial warp knit structures and braided structures are used commonly and is introduced as an example. These also have the potential to act as multifunctional structural geotextiles. The newly introduced robotic one-side stitching technology which is used for joining geotextiles is also discussed in this article. The emerging nanofiber technologies is also set to have wide impact on the geotextiles.
Geotextiles is a sub-set of industrial textiles or technical textiles. The following are the classification of the geotextile:
-Composite Industrial Textiles
-Processing Industrial Textiles
-Direct Use Industrial Textiles
