Two-Day National Symposium on Geosynthetics for Highways and Railways Inaugurated at CSIR-CRRI, New Delhi

A two-day National Symposium on 'Geosynthetics for Performance Enhancement and Distress Mitigation in Highways and Railways' was inaugurated at the CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) in New Delhi. Jointly organized by CSIR-CRRI and the Geosynthetics Society, Pune, the event brings together policymakers, infrastructure authorities, and researchers to discuss engineering solutions using advanced polymeric materials for national highways, high-speed rail lines, and strategic mountain corridors. Discussions covered distress remediation in reinforced soil walls, railway modernization and track-bed stabilization, pavement stabilization, and rockfall protection in challenging terrains.
