Geosynthetics and their Applications

Geosynthetics are being used extensively throughout the world as they offer the most efficient and cost-effective solutions of a myriad of civil engineering problems.  If properly protected, geosynthetics have the potential of functioning for hundreds of years.  Rational design methods - based on sound concepts and standardized text techniques for detemining the technical properties of geosynthetics - are now available, placing the use of geosynthetics on a firm base.
