| Abstract: | THE BOOK: Discusses the fundamentals of geosynthetics. Examines various applications in areas such as filters, separators, landfills and foundation materials. Reviews quality assurance and the service life of geosynthetics. Geosynthetics are man-made polymer-based materials which facilitate cost effective building, environmental, transportation and other construction projects. Given their versatility, geosynthetics are a vital material in all aspects of civil engineering. Part 2 examines the various applications of geosynthetics in areas such as filters, separators, landfills, barriers and foundation materials. THIS CHAPTER: - Introduction
- Limited life of geotextile concept
- Natural fibres as industrial materials
- Agro-industrial fibres
- Vegetable fibre characteristics
- Erosion control
- Basal reinforcement of embankments on soft soil
- Conclusions
- References. |
