    1. Geosynthetics are materials used to improve soil strength and stability. They include geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geonets, and more. 2. Geosynthetics are used to reinforce soil in applications like retaining walls and slopes. They are commonly used in construction to strengthen weak soils and provide drainage, separation, and erosion control. 3. Reinforced earth uses geosynthetics like geogrids between layers of backfill to create a composite material with higher strength than traditional retaining walls. Different geosynthetics have various applications and limitations depending on the project needs.

    1. What is the difference between improvement of the soil behavior using Geosynthetics material,
    stabilized by cement or lime and compaction? Improvement of the soil (apart from compaction)
    is carried out either by means of chemicals such as cement or lime or other chemicals or by using
    inclusions.
