Handbook of Geosynthetic Engineering : Geosynthetics and their applications

The second edition of the bestselling `Geosynthetics and their Applications', this is a book to which students (at all levels) and engineers in search of novel approaches to solutions for civil engineering problems can refer. The topics presented are based on major field application areas for geosynthetics in civil engineering. The straightforward and concise presentation of topics in the book will be helpful for those with limited experience of geosynthetics, while more experienced users will easily be able to find information relating to solutions to specific engineering problems, This new edition features new chapters on tunnels and filters and drains with updates to other chapters to reflect advances and current practice. The inclusion of case histories and practical aspects of the application of geosynthetics, along with recent developments and references, makes this book a valuable resource for practising engineers, students and researchers alike.
