Geosynthetics are with success used for many years within the construction of roads. They fulfill most classical perform like separation, protection, filtration, Drainage, sealing, and reinforcement. In recent time the scope of application has been extended considerably by the development of road pavement. Field evidences indicate that geosynthetic reinforcements will improve pavement performance by avoiding cracking, rutting, and patholes & by reducing deflection of paved surface. The rise in urbanization crystal rectifier to the inadequacy of the land for building, because of that land with high water content and low bearing capability had to be used. within the past history numerous|many alternative} strategies are projected thus on improve the unfavorable conditions prevailing in various locations like the locations with low bearing capability soil, water work conditions, land movements, etc. the appliance of geosynthetics has proved to be the foremost promising answer of all the alternatives. numerous forms of geosynthetics are wont to fulfill numerous functions like filtration, separation, drainage, reinforcement, mitigation of reflective cracks, by the utilization of one or combination of 2 or additional geosynthetics. This use of geosynthetics has conjointly contributed towards the goal of being one among the foremost economical and much applicable alternatives. This paper conjointly studies the characteristics and therefore the basic data of geosynthetics usually just in case of pavement like geotextile, geogrid, geonets, geomembrane, GCL Associate in Nursingd geo- composite having an unequivocal perform. It includes the comparison of the pavement made with the assistance of geosynthetics and therefore the standard pavements against numerous parameters like bearing capability, wetness content, economy, maintenance needed and therefore the life amount of the pavement. the utilization of geosynthetics is increasing at a awfully fast rate and is being accepted worldwide and therefore there rises the need for elaborate study.
