Geosynthetics Materials: Recent Advancements for ground Improvements.
Abstract
Geosynthetics are man-made materials used to improve Ground
conditions.. The material properties of geosynthetics are important to their use in various
applications like canal lining, used for increasing bearing capacity and permeability of soil,
reducing settlement of soil, soil reinforcement, soil stabilization etc.Geosynthetics have
become well established construction materials for geotechnical and environmental
applications in most parts of the world. This paper focuses on recent advances on
geosynthetics products, applications and design methodologies required for reinforcing
soil, ground improvement and environmental protection work.
