Résumé

Geosynthetics has emerged as an exciting and innovative area for civil engineers, with an enormous growth in civil engineering applications, making geosynthetics a favoured construction material throughout the world. Fundamentals of Geosynthetic Engineering provides an overview of the basic concepts of this fascinating subject, informing not only students in civil engineering, but also practising civil engineers whose university education was completed before geosynthetics reached the curriculum. All major aspects related to the field applications, including application guidelines and description of case studies, have been included. This knowledge will allow engineers to work confidently with geosynthetics. The book is both attractive and comprehensive, containing a large number of line drawings, sketches, graphs, photographs and tables illustrating the basic concepts of all the topics covered in the work. Readers will find this book extremely lively and interactive, and by reading it will be able to grasp the fundamentals of geosynthetics.
