Geosynthetics in Reinforcement and Hydraulic Applications

Mohammed A. Gabr, John J. Bowders

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Proceedings of Geo-Denver 2007, New Peaks in Geotechnics, held in Denver, Colorado, February 18-21, 2007. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 17 papers on the use of geosynthetics in earth structures by the construction industry. These papers present aspects related to recent advances in field and laboratory performance of geosynthetics as reinforcement and drainage materials. Topics include the characterization of geotextile voids; the interaction of geosynthetics with the surrounding soils; and construction aspects related to slopes, walls, and embankments on soft soils. Innovative approaches to design for efficient utilization of reinforcement capacity are presented.
