Soil Reinforcement and Stabilization
Soil reinforcement and stabilization are carried out on low-bearing-capacity soils where problems such as uncontrolled settlements may affect structures like parking lots, highways, and traffic-flow areas.
They are widely used as an engineering solution to strengthen unbound layers on highways, airports, railways, parking structures, and other traffic-exposed surfaces. Using geosynthetics for stabilization, separation, and confinement reduces the total required construction depth, extends surface lifespan, and positively impacts project duration and cost while meeting economic and environmental standards.
Applying geosynthetics for road reinforcement and stabilization not only enhances infrastructure safety but also significantly increases load-bearing capacity. An engineering design with geosynthetics saves on material transportation, reduces costs and construction time, lowers the carbon footprint compared to traditional construction methods, and ensures performance and durability according to project requirements.

Materials Used in Soil Reinforcement and Stabilization
In soil reinforcement and stabilization applications, the current condition of the application area should first be investigated. Appropriate materials and applications should be selected based on soil density, moisture, and soil characteristics, and the necessary work should be carried out.
After selecting the soil structure and application method, Dratech Drainage Boards, Jeotech Geotextiles, and Fortech Geogrids are used for soil reinforcement and stabilization. Additionally, Celltech Erosion Control Product, Geocell, may be used for the soil on some highways.
