description This study is undertaken to find out the feasibility of using geojute materials produced in Bangladesh as an alternative to geotextiles in civil engineering applications. Four types of untreated and three types of treated geojute samples were selected from Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) and Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI). Laboratory tests were performed on these treated and untreated geojute samples to determine their physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties. An attempt has been made to compare these test results with the available geotextile data in Bangladesh. Based on these test results some design examples have been presented using the design methods developed for geotextiles applications. An economic aspect related to geotextiles and geojute materials is also presented. It is appreciated that if geotextiles are replaced with geojute in civil engineering applications as exemplified, significant economic benefit can be obtained.
