GET BIS CERTIFICATION FOR JUTE GEOTEXTILES - STRENGTHENING OF SUB-GRADE IN ROADS

IS 14715 (Part 1):2016

Jute geotextiles are a category of products that are used extensively in road construction, to reinforce river banks, and to stabilize agricultural slopes. Economical and easy to produce, jute geotextiles have high initial strength, are highly absorbent, and can be customized to suit specific requirements.

BIS is a statutory institution established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act,1986  to promote harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and attending to connected matters in the country.

Jute geotextiles - Strengthening of sub-grade in roads product has been specified in IS 14715 (Part 1):2016 by Bureau of Indian Standards.

SCOPE :

This standard (Part 1) lays down requirements of woven and non-woven jute geotextile (JGT) for strengthening of road sub-grades.

NOTES

1 Selection of jute geotextile (woven) shall be decided principally on CBR (California Bearing Ratio), grain size distribution of soil and the in-situ permeability of sub-grade soil, volume of traffic (denoted by ESAL-Equivalent Single Axle Loading) and the allowable rut-depth.

2 Jute geotextiles covered under this standard are suitable for strengthening of flexible pavements on weak road sub-grades subjected to relatively low traffic load and intensity. Jute geotextiles control subsidence of a pavement by separating and preventing intermixing of the soft sub-grade and the harder sub-base, migration of soil particles and allows water to permeate across it.
