Early digital access through HUESKER
The IGS Geosynthetics Handbook · First Edition
A comprehensive technical reference for geosynthetics and their applications across modern civil engineering.
Reliable technical information is essential for sound engineering decisions. But finding relevant, trustworthy knowledge across multiple sources takes time. The IGS Geosynthetics Handbook brings essential knowledge and practical applications together in one comprehensive reference.
What will you find in the Handbook?
The Handbook provides a practical introduction to geosynthetics and their applications – helping you understand what geosynthetics are, where they are used, what functions they perform and what needs to be considered in practice.
8 Areas of Application
- Introduction to Geosynthetics
- Roads and Pavements
- Subsurface Drainage
- Erosion and Sediment Control
- Reinforced Soil Systems
- Geosynthetic Barriers in Seepage Control Systems
- Environmental Protection
- Geosynthetics Support Systems
