Geosynthetics in Civil Engineering
1.1 Introduction
As with all new materials design, one adopts and adapts earlier approaches from
other and/or similar materials. With geosynthetic materials design, the closest
allied fields are construction materials and, in particular, soil materials as encompassed
within the discipline of geotechnical engineering. As is to be expected with
the gradual maturing of the geosynthetic area, the design methods have advanced
from very simplistic to quite detailed and still emerging.
