This book provides a state-of-the-art review of the life-limiting mechanisms of geosynthetics, the methods available to test and assess lifetime, and the means by which durability can be improved. It provides engineers with the information they need on the durability lifetime, bridging the knowledge gap between them and polymer scientists. The style of the handbook is deliberately non-technical, in that it avoids chemical formulas and makes widespread use of graphs and photographs. Summaries are provided for most sections. It shows how to predict the service life of geosynthetics based on state-of-the-art knowledge and in some cases provides numerical examples. Engineers can use it to decide what they should specify, scientists are shown how to perform extrapolations and derive reduction factors, and assessors are given a separate section indicating how they should treat the information presented to them, including the uncertainties of the methods of testing and extrapolation. While directed primarily at geotextiles, reference is made to geomembranes and their use in landfills, for which a supplementary chapter is added.
During the past decade, the use of geotextiles has increased significantly in a wide range of civil engineering applications: road construction, coastal engineering, stabilization of slopes and retaining structures, reinforcement of foundations, drainage etc. This work focuses on the factors which determine the level of long-term performance of these materials such as their mechanical and physical properties and physico-chemical ageing processes. (It includes contributions to an international seminar held at Saint-Remy-les-Chevreuse, France, in November 1986)
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.
