Abstract: The objective of this investigation is to study the properties of cohesionless soils and the ways to stabilize it. Foundations are usually subjected to dynamic loads caused by the earthquakes, bomb blasts and machines etc. The behavior of reinforced foundation bed under the dynamic loads needs to be stabilized. To reduce the slope failure and the soil embankment failure we need to stabilize the soil. There are numerous techniques to stabilize the soils. One of the best methods to stabilize the soil is by using geo-synthetics. Alert net and mosquito net are used in the present study. It is well known that the bearing resistance against aalert net and mosquito net transverse rib is transferred through their junction when these geo-synthetics are placed in cohesion less soils and subjected to the tensile loading. The increased stability is through the frictional interaction between the soil and the reinforcement. Direct shear test is performed by using Alert netandmosquito net by placing in different positions and comparing the shear strength parameters. This paper examines the use of Alert net and mosquito net in cohesion less soils.
