- Roads construction have mostly the problems like formation of potholes, ruts, cracks and localized depression and settlement especially during rainy season. These are primarily owing to the subgrade's poor bearing ability under water saturated conditions. The CBR value of the subgrade soil is usually between 5 to 10%. In the CBR technique of pavement design (IRC 37-2012), the total thickness of the pavement increases exponentially as the CBR value of the subgrade soil decreases, raising the construction cost. As a result, the use of coir, a natural geotextile material, to increase the bearing capacity of the subgrade has been attempted. CBR experiments on soil samples with and without Coir, as well as altering the position of it in the mould, are performed in the lab .Use of coir increases the CBR value of the subgrade and thereby reduces the pavement thickness considerably.
