ABSTRACT- Geotextiles are increasingly being used as a stabilizer on road sides in soft soils. The objective of this study was to determine the total geotextile capacity as road edge reinforcement considering the safety and permissive aspects of migration. Road edge hardness analysis was performed using PLAXIS 2D in a limited manner. Simple modeling was performed in this study. When constructing roads in soft soils, a certain amount of foundation is required to prevent unnecessary splitting of the road structure. Even with insufficient capacity with subsoil, stability is required. Geotextiles are increasingly being used as reinforcement for road walls in soft surfaces. It analyzes effective stress, total stress, total displacement and total strain. Suitable construction practices and sophisticated methods of design should be adopted on such soils. Considering the site conditions and poor soil properties, we suggested a composite that would help provide the necessary design strength for the road pavement construction required for this project. The solution included proper drainage with a high-strength geogrid, which provided improved ground conditions and uniform stress transfer to the sub-soil. The product and solution were carefully selected to alleviate the current problem of the coastal road.
