Following are some theory & laboratory studies on
- "Jute Geotextile In Civil Engineering Applications" by N.Som,
- "Jute Geotextile For Roads" by S. D. Ramaswami and M A Aziz and
- "Jute Geotextile Solutions For Surface And Subsurface Drainage" by S. D. Ramaswami. These studies show the uses of Jute Geotextiles in civil constructions like separation, reinforcement, drainage and filtration functions and can be suitably used in overcoming geotechnical problems of weak soil and are ecologically safe because of its biodegradable nature. Not only that, in these case studies comparison has also been made between Jute Geotextiles and geosythetic through different researches which shows that Jute Geotextiles are much more safer, durable and eco-friendly than synthetic materials used in civil constructions.
Given below is the case study which comprises of four different researches on the uses of Jute fabrics or jute geotextiles in improving soil's and road's condition named,
- "Jute Fabric Reinforced Unpaved Road Design" by MuhammedHumayunKabir, Mohammad Zaltaria, Mohammad ZoynulAbedin and GourPadoSaha,
- "Application Of Jute Geotextile In Improving Permeability Of Sub Soil" by Satyendra Mittal, P. K. Choudhury, T. Sanyal and B. Chandrashekhar,
- "Influence Of Geojute Reinforcement On Thickness Reduction of Flexible Pavement- A Model Study" by S. Chakrabarti ,G. Bhandari and (iv) "Development Of Asphalt Overclay Fabric From Jute" by (Ms) M. Ghosh, P. K. Banerjee and G. V. Rao. These studies deal with different types of jute fabrics and their contribution in improving soil quality. It has also been proved that jute geotextile is very effective in soil permeability. Other study proves that Geojute is effective in improving bearing capacity of sub-grade soil at low cost and is eco-friendly too. While an experiment has been made on pavement models without any embedded fabrics and with commercial fabrics which proves that pavement models with leno based products perform much better than other commercial fabrics.
Different researches and studies have been made on Jute Geotextile and its uses to prove its effectiveness on different fields. Some of them are given below. These are
- Soil Bio-Engineering With Jute Geotextiles For Slope Erosion Control by TapobrataSanyal,
- UseOf Jute Geotextiles In MSW Land Fills by TapobrataSanyal,

- Carbon Foot-Print Reduction In Road Construction – A Case For Jute Geotextiles by TapobrataSanyal. These case studies deals with how (a)Jute Geotextile is effective in soil bio-engineering by using it in the control of soil slope erosion in natural way, (Jute Geotextiles uses in disposing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) without effecting the drainage system, Fly ash which is used in the construction of embankments abutments, as a backfill material of retaining walls and as a base and sub-base material of roads can be strengthen by Jute Geotextiles. There is a study which says the quality of soil becomes better with aging in reinforcing soil bed in spite of the fact that it is made up of bio degradable Jute Geotextiles. While other study reveals that Jute Geotextile is not only useful in making small roads, but it should also be in the construction of highway because of its environment friendly nature.
This pdf file is a combination of different studies related to Jute and Jute Geotextiles, called
- Quality Control Of Jute Geotextiles & Development Of Testing Facilities by Abdul Jabbar Khan which deals with different techniques for extending the life of Jute Geotextiles for more than 20 years though the results are not that effective but these techniques have contributed a lot in expanding the life of Jute Geotextile from short term to mid-term,
- Standardisation Of Jute Geotextiles: Their Applications And Related Regulatory Issues by R.JaneRickson. The aim of this study is to regularize the importance of Jute Geotextiles in different fields over competitive materials which are non-eco-friendly and hazardous to nature. There are some case studies on field application too and these are
- Application of Jute Geotextiles in Highway Engineering by D.S.Tolia, O.P. Yadav, Jai Bhagwan, N. K. Sharma, Kanwar Singh, and S. R. Rao. It is about different field trials which say that Jute Geotextiles will be more effective for highway construction engineering if it is used judiciously and jointly with other measures. Then there is a study on
- Construction Of Highway Embankment OnSoft Marine Soil Using Jute Geotextiles by P. JagannathRao, Bindumadhava, N. Venisiri which is about a research on an embankment construction with the use of Jute Geotextiles as a base for is reinforcement, though it lasts only for seven months because of its biodegradable nature but it has been proven by this research that embankment seemed more stable in the soft days because of jute`s high absorbing quality.
Jute Geotextiles and its uses are tremendous, hence to prove its effectiveness there are some studies and researches which have been done in different places. Given below is the combination of some studies on,
- Jute Geotextile Application InKankinadaPort Area by AjjarapuSreeramaRao, is about the Jute Geotextile application on the port area of Kankinada and after some times measurement of its water level content, void ratio, dry density and other conditions,
- Application Of Jute Geotextile In Rural Road Construction Under PMGSY –A Case Study In West Bengal by P. K. Choudhury, D. N. Goswami , T. Sanyal, which suggests that jute geotextile should be used in highway engineering field in spite of its disadvantage i.e. its degradable nature,
- Jute Geotextile For Road Applications- Field Trials By CRRI, done by Jai Bhagwan, O.P. Yadav, N. K. Sharma, which is a field research on different parts of India which proves that Jute Geotextiles' degradable nature is its advantage because of its eco-friendly nature, comes at low cost and its life can be extended if it is used judiciously and conjointly with other factors,
- Controlling Land slops With Jute Geotextiles by TapobrataSanyal, which explains through a research that after using Jute Geotextiles in controlling the soil erosion by land slopes. It has been proved by this study that Jute Geotextile usage in land slopes were tremendous as moisture control reached below wilting point in 7 days after a rainfall of 20mm and
- Jute Geotextile In Hill Slope Management – Case Studies In Sikkim And Meghalaya by TapobrataSanyal Sunil Verma P.K. Choudhury. This study was conducted on the two different hill slopes of Sikkim and Meghalaya. After the use of Jute Geotextiles on these hill slopes for controlling the soil erosion and its vegetation the experts came to the conclusion that for the proper utilisation of Jute Geotextile in soil erosion control one of the most important thing that should be kept in mind is the type of soil which do vary from each other. Therefore, one should always check for the characteristics, quality of soil and its level of moisturiser before using JGT.
Many researches have been made on the use of Jute Geotextiles in controlling soil erosion. Following are the case studies which throws light on the above mention matter. These are
- Stabilization Of Embankment Slopes With Jute Geotextiles-A Case Study In NH-2 Allahabad By-Pass by T. Sanyal P. K. Choudhury D. N. Goswami,
- Geo Jute For Erosion Control With Special Reference ToMinespoilRehabilitation by G. P. Juyal, K. S. Dadhwal

- Jute Geotextile In Erosion Control & Strengthening Of Sub-Grades–Two Case Studies by TapobrataSanyal
- Prevention Of Railway Track Subsidence With Jute Geotextile - A Case Study under Eastern Railway by TapobrataSanyal& P.K. Choudhury. These studies are about some experiment on the slope and river banks. It says that soil erosion can be controlled, sub layer of the soil can be saved from getting destroyed and vegetation can be done on these areas with the help of Jute Geotextiles. Not only that, it also states that JGT is eco-friendly and comes at a lower cost. Hence, the use of Jute Geotextiles in these areas are very effective but there are some important measures which are to be considered before applying JGT. Then there are some studies on JGT's prospective applications, which are
- The Role Of Natural Fibres In Geotextile Engineering by James C Thomson
- Prospective Innovative Applications Of Jute Geotextile by A. B. M. Abdullah
- Prospective Applications Of Jute Geotextiles by TapobrataSanyal. These studies are about Jute Geotextiles' current and potential uses which are separation, filtration, reinforcement,soil erosion control and many more, but its uses are limited because of its less popularity and lack of technology. Hence, there is a need of strong awareness about Jute Geotextiles in the field of civil engineering and others, in order to make the most use of it .
