Geosynthetics in Civil Engineering

This handbook, intended to be of use to students in civil engineering, environmental technics and land development, covers state-of-the-art subject matter necessary for an orientation on the application possibilities of geosynthetics as building material. The book deals with the application of geosynthetics in soil structures, foundations engineering and bank and bed protection. The application of geosynthetics for other civil engineering purposes is mentioned only obliquely, such as asphalt reinforcement and drainage of embankments. The text is divided into three parts: general; design considerations; and elaborated examples.van Santvoort, G. P. is the author of 'Geosynthetics in Civil Engineering' with ISBN 9789054106043 and ISBN 9054106042.
