The geotechnical characteristics of soil samples and the effectiveness of coir geotextile reinforcement in improving pavement performance are both thoroughly investigated in this work. According to the geotechnical investigation, the soil had a fine-grained composition dominated by silt and clay, and it showed the usual density. Tests using the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) showed that adding coir geotextile reinforcement greatly increased soil strength and load-bearing capacity, with potentially positive effects on pavement design and construction. The results highlight the potential of coir geotextiles to improve the resilience and lifespan of pavement structures by reducing pavement distresses, including rutting and cracking. Suggestions for future research encompass investigating the enduring efficacy of coir geotextiles in diverse scenarios and refining their positioning arrangements within pavement networks. This study contributes to advancing sustainable infrastructure solutions by harnessing the potential of natural materials for pavement reinforcement.
