description: This is a comprensive handbook on design, selection, testing, specification and construction with geosynthetics. This handbook will enable engineers to correctly indentify and evaluate potential application of geosynthetics as an alternative to other construction methods and as a means to solve construction problems. Chapters on specific application are presented in an easy to use format. application chapters present step-by-step design procedures, example problems, economic considerations, specification guides and examples, installations procedures, field inspection guidelines and detailed references. The following applications are subsurface drainage, temporary erosion control, roadways, embankments on soft foundation, reinforced soil retaining walls, permanent erosion control, sediment control, pavement overlays, reinforced soil slopes, geomembranes and other geo-barriers.
