Ground Improvement Technique Using Recycled Geo-Cell

Sanjay Singh, Siddhesh Chavan, Tanzil Faki, Saransh Singh, Sneha Solapure

Abstract


Geo-Cells are three dimensional Structures Orthogonally Designed. These are made using Polymers, we have Experimented and Designed Geo-Cells using Recycled High Density Polypropylene (HDPE), to get a Cost Effective Result. These Geo-Cells are then installed under Weak and Soft Soil to create a Low Density Unpaved Road. These Roads help us continue the work of shifting the Blocks from the Manufacturing Site to the Storage Place with Minimum Losses. This Internal Shifting is carried out inside the Casting Yard, where the Soil becomes Quite Soft and Marshy due to Water Absorption. The test conducted for physical properties are grain size distribution and for Engineering properties modified proctor test, atterberg’s limit, CBR test are done for Red Soil. Then the result are tabulated. During the Monsoon Season with the Installation of Recycled HDPE Geo-Cell. We were successfully able to reduce the Cost of the Project and also Increase the Time Efficiency of this Project.
