Lecture notes reviewing geosynthetic applications in dams according to performed functions, i.e. barrier to fluid, drainage, geomembrane protection, filtration, reinforcement and erosion control. Author: Daniele Cazzuffi.
Home pages authored by students in civil engineering at the Syracuse University, aimed at improving the understanding and knowledge about the applications of geosynthetic materials and products. Subjects are geopipes, clayliners, polymers, landfill covers and geogrids.
Personal view on the application of computerized analytical methods in geotechnical engineering. Author: Mr. Robert Pyke.
Lecture on the fabrication and installation of PVC geomembranes for containment applications. Author: Mr. Fred P. Rohe.
