Professor, Department of Jute and Fibre Technology, Calcutta University, Kolkata, INDIA) 3 (Senior Research Fellow, Department of Jute and Fibre Technology, Calcutta University, Kolkata, INDIA) 4 (Teaching Associate, Department of Jute and Fibre Technology, Calcutta University, Kolkata, INDIA) Abstract: Traditional sacking quality jute woven fabrics with double warp 2/1 Twill Weave have been extensively used for road construction but studies and applications so far undertaken have not been comprehensive enough for large scale acceptability and adoption of the above said fabrics. The previous studies and field applications of woven Jute Geotextiles (JGTs) carried out so far on rural road construction have subtended the efficacy of the appropriate variety of jute material. The applications, however, did not focus on design and engineering of application specific and functions oriented varieties of Jute Geotextiles. It is in this context that development of potentially important JGT for strengthening of rural roads assumes significance. Hence Plain Weave, Twill Weave, Matt Weave and Basket Weave Jute Fabric samples of same fabric weight, expressed in gsm, have been produced by varying yarn property parameters and yarn density in the fabrics to optimize their property parameters with the help of a suitable statistical method and standardize those property parameters after taking actual field trials on roads. Keywords: Weave structure; Geotextile; JGT; Tensile Properties. I. Introduction Application of geotextiles in flexible paved road construction is an established one and is increasing at rapid pace throughout the world. Geotextiles extend the service life of roads, increase their load carrying capacity and reduce rutting. The effectiveness of geotextiles in stabilization and separation roles with flexible pavements has been extensively researched. It has been found that for weak subgrade (California Bearing Ratio, CBR = 2%), the geotextile extends the service life of a flexible pavement section by a factor of 2.5 to 3.0 compared to a non stabilized section. Further a geotextile effectively increased the pavement section s total AASTHO 1 structural number by approximately 19%. The performance of pavements constructed on soft soils can be improved using jute Geotextiles. Jute fabric when used as separator prevents the penetration of subgrade material into voids of granular base course. The permeability characteristic of the fabric also aids in faster dissipation of pore pressures and ensures better drainage which results in better long term performance of the pavement. Provision of fabric enables subgrade develops its full bearing capacity and thus controls rutting. Jute Geotextile was used as a separator between subgrade and sub-base layers. Jute Geotextile (JGT) is much cheaper than synthetic fibre 2. It is easy to blend with other natural material and synthetic fibres. JGT is environmental friendly, design biodegradable, hydrophobic, anionic and locally available materials. Initially it has got the high strength and non-hazardous properties. It is also a renewable source of energy as natural biomass 3. World Jute production is on the decline since mid 1980s 4. At the time production was in excess of 6 million tons. In 2008 jute production has reached about 2.65 million tons 5. Jute production is concentrated (90 95%) in Bangladesh and India. China, Myanmar, Thailand and Nepal contribute a smaller share. Jute has mostly been used in the packaging industry as well as for carpet backing. In the last decades jute has been experiencing heavy competition from synthetic materials, resulting in greatly reduce demand. Identification and development of new products and new applications are crucial for the sector to continue providing employment and income to millions of jute farmers and those employed in the mills. It is estimated that in India alone, the jute industry provides direct employment to about 260,000 workers 6 and supports the livelihood of around 4 million farm families. An additional 140,000 people are engaged in the territory sector and allied activities. In Bangladesh, it is estimated that about half these numbers are involved in production and processing of jute. Keeping into view about the potential application of JGT, this article delineates optimization of the fabric property parameters of the produced woven jute fabric samples followed by their ranking with respect to different geotechnical applications keeping in view for maintaining techno economic viability mainly in the field of road construction in terms of strengthening of sub grade.

From the Table 7 it is found that the warp way tensile strength of the fabric samples varies from 20.27 kn/m to 26.5 kn/m. From the literature review it is found that the strength of a fabric in warp direction depends on the strength of the warp yarn, thread density in warp and weft direction, types of weave, gsm and crimp% in warp direction. It is found that the thread density in warp direction of all the samples produced varies from 100 ends/dm to 102 ends/dm. From the literature review it is found that with the increase in weft density the strength of the fabric increases if the other fabric parameters remain same. Again the maximum achievable thread density in weft direction of the fabric depends on the types of weave for a given thread density of warp yarn in the fabric. So during the preparation of the fabric samples it was aimed to achieve maximum weft density without bumping during beat-up except for the fabric with matt design (E1, E2 & E3) which are woven with lower weft density then the achievable limit. Among the fabric samples containing single weft thread the weft density is lowest for the sample A1 (43 picks/dm) and highest for the sample E1 & E2 (74 picks/dm). Again the fabric produced using ply yarn, the sample A3 have lowest picks/dm (33 picks/dm) whereas the sample E3 have the highest weft yarn density (40 picks/dm). Effect of Fabric Parameters on Elongation at Break The values of elongation at break in warp and weft direction for all the samples are shown in Table 7. In that table it is observed that the warp way breaking elongation of the fabric samples varies from 6% to 13.3%. From the literature review it is found that the elongation at break of a fabric in warp direction depends on the count of warp yarn, types of weave and crimp% in warp direction. Effect of Fabric Parameters on Drape Coefficient The value of Drape coefficient for all the samples is shown in Table 9. From Table 9 it is found that the value of Drape Coefficient of all the samples ranges from 94% to 97.6%. It is also found from the Table 9 and in Figure 4.15 that the warp way Bending Modulus varies from 4.839216 kg/cm 2 to 22.11119 kg/cm 2. In the weft direction it is observed that the Bending Modulus varies from 3.333461 kg/cm 2 to 17.5774 kg/cm 2. From the literature review it is found that the drape coefficient of a fabric depends on the thread density in warp and weft direction, types of weave, count of warp and weft yarn and flexural rigidity of both warp and weft direction. Effect of Fabric Parameters on Air Permeability The value of Air permeability for all the samples is shown in Table 8. From Table 8 it is found that the value of Air Permeability of all samples ranges from 59.7 m 3 /m 2 /min to 112 m 3 /m 2 /min. From the literature review it is found that the air permeability of a fabric depends on the thread density in warp and weft direction, types of weave, volume porosity and pore/cm 2. ing of Fabric Samples Produced for Standardization and Optimization of Different Machine Parameters and Process parameters Values of all the Dimensional and Geotechnical (physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties etc.) property parameters obtained for all the jute woven fabric samples produced in this study by varying process parameters are compared by the method of Simple average weighted ranking procedure for five categories (Plain, Twill, Matt AIJRSTEM 16-217; 2016, AIJRSTEM All Rights Reserved Page 48

and Basket weave) of such woven JGT fabric samples separately for standardization and optimization of different property parameters. For ranking within the specified range of fabric area density, each property parameter of each sample is proportionately weighted as compared to the best values obtained in that property parameter to award ten (10) point and rest of the obtained values lower than the best value were weighted proportionately. Finally considering all the property parameters together simple average were determined to get the rank within that class and shown in Table 10. Among the fabric samples A1, A2, & A3 the fabric A3 has maximum ranking value.

Conclusions In this study fabric property and their dependence on the constructional parameters (design, thread density, etc.) and yarn parameters are investigated. From the discussion in this article the following conclusions can be drawn. The tensile strength of the fabric in warp direction is positively influenced by the weft crimp and negatively influenced by the warp crimp. But also process parameters of weaving to be considered during engineering of woven jute fabric. The parameters viz. both warp and weft way thread density and crimp, strength of the weft yarn and gsm of the fabric can be used to predict the tensile strength of the fabric in weft direction with relatively high accuracy than the warp way strength of the fabric. Therefore woven jute fabric with higher value of interlacement AIJRSTEM 16-217; 2016, AIJRSTEM All Rights Reserved Page 49

produces fabric with low tensile strength in warp direction, this may be due to frequent changing of the heald shaft during weaving adversely affecting the strength of the warp yarn. Whereas during weaving there is less stress on weft yarn so strength of the weft yarn did not reduced to an appreciable extent and hence more no of interlacement in weft direction produces a fabric with higher tensile strength in weft direction due to more binding of the weft yarn with the warp yarn. The property parameters like flexural rigidity, thread density both in warp and weft direction and count of weft yarn can be used to predict the drape coefficient of the fabric. With fair degree of accuracy the value of drape coefficient with the increase of overall flexural rigidity of the fabric and also the thread density both in warp and weft direction and weft count influenced the coefficient of drape negatively. The air permeability of the fabric depends on the no of pores per unit area, volume porosity of the fabric and the thread density in warp and weft direction. So consideration of different types of pore and their hydraulic diameter tend to give more accurate results. From the ranking of the produced samples the fabric may be selected according to the required properties as per the end use application. V. References [1] Kaswell, E.
