Fundamentals of Geosynthetic Engineering provides an overview of the basic concepts of this subject, especially meeting the requirements of students in civil engineering as well as of practising civil engineers who have not been educated in geosynthetics during their university training. All major aspects related to the field applications, including application guidelines and descriptions of case studies, have been included with a view to generate full confidence in the engineering use of geosynthetics. The book contains a large number of line drawings, sketches, graphs, photographs, and tables to explain the (basic) concepts of all the topics covered. Intended to explain the fundamentals of geosynthetic engineering. Readers will find this book interactive and wll understand the basic concepts of most of the topics by self-reading only.

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. The first section of the book covers the fundamentals of geosynthetics. Chapters discuss the design and durability of geosynthetics together with their material properties and international standards governing their use. Building on these foundations, part two examines the various applications of geosynthetics in areas such as filters, separators, landfills, barriers and foundation materials. The book concludes by reviewing methods of quality assurance and the service life of geosynthetics. Written by an international team of contributors, Geosynthetics in civil engineering is an essential reference to all those involved in civil engineering. 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

For courses on Geosynthetics. Geosynthetic materials have entered the mainstream in the professional arena and are no longer considered new construction material. Koerner was the first college-level text published on the subject in its first edition; this revision emphasizes design by function; it overviews all types of geosynthetics, with stand-alone units on particular materials.
