Types & Functions

Geosynthetics include geotextiles, geogrids, and geomembranes that are used in reinforced soil structures. Geotextiles provide filtration and separation functions while geogrids provide reinforcement. Tests on geosynthetics evaluate their strength, hydraulic properties, durability, and other characteristics. Recent trends include unique applications of geosynthetics like geocells for accelerated consolidation.
