Horizontal means of reinforcement layers of soil substrates installed in roads and rail routes also the interaction of geotextiles reinforcement of the soil are the subject of discussion in this article. The effectiveness of friction is the main factor in the efficiency the immobilized planar reinforcement by vertical uniform load utility. Mechanism of occurrence of friction as the forces of adhesion reinforcement geotextile with the ground is apparent from the balance of forces and appointed experimental testing as well.
