The most important aspect of any project is its cost, performance, durability and time. As the methods usedconventionally were very uneconomical and time consuming, there is an urgent need for development of new techniqueswhich enhances the geotechnical properties of the soil.Geosyntheics have emerged as a material which drastically improves the properties of soil and it is cheaper than any othermethod. In the present study, the virgin soil was reinforced with woven geotextile and was tested for the shear strengthparameters by direct shear test. There was a change in the shear strength parameters of the soil when it was reinforced withgeotextile. The geotextile increases the internal frictional angle which in turn increases the shear strength of the soil as permohr-coloumb’s equation.
