The paper presents the effect of using cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), a low-priced agro by-product and renewable resource, to treat coir geotextiles. Large-scale direct shear tests were performed on sands reinforced with untreated treated geotextiles at different normal stresses (50 kPa, 100 150 kPa). Sands three particle sizes (coarse, medium, fine) used for study. strength parameters soil sa...

Carbon footprint and nonrenewability are among the motives to mitigate dependence on oil resources. On other hand, palm trees exceeded 100 million around globe, which poses enormous amount of biowastes get exploited per annum. Moreover, nanocellulose is emerging as efficient low cost material, shows increasing versatility throughout time. In this investigation we will attempt extract from waste...
