ABSTRACT
Geosynthetics include exclusively manmade polymeric products such as geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners, and geocomposites. The term “geosynthetic” is used in favor of geotextiles and geofabrics because (1) additional polymeric products are being developed and used with soils and (2) the application is becoming more diversified.
