This study has been undertaken to learn the various & useful applications of geotextiles in road construction & erosion control. Geotextile applications are changing rapidly as research shows results and manufacturing processes improve. Geotextile and their application in road construction, maintenance and erosion control were discussed in detail. Fundamental considerations in design and installation were also discussed. India is a large producer of jute. Jute is a low cost, renewable, biodegradable and ecofriendly natural product. Jute-based geo-synthetics is finding increasing acceptability among geotechnical engineers primarily because of its eco concordance, facility of production of tailor-made fabrics and price competitiveness. However civil engineers are still apprehensive about its long- term effectiveness on account of its bio-degradability .Applications of Jute geotextiles in ground improvement, Improvement in Pavement Performance, Erosion Control of Denuded Slopes and in Drainage and Filtration Application presents an interesting picture.
