Description

Geosynthetics are a heterogeneous class of materials that includes geotextiles, geomembranes, and geopolymers. Geosynthetics are gaining acceptance in civil engineering due to their ability to provide cost-effective solutions for many problems. They can be used to support weak foundations, act as barriers to contain hazardous materials and waste, or offer solutions to soil erosion. This article is about geosynthetics’ uses and applications in civil engineering.
