Within the field of geotechnical engineering, the civil engineering branch of geosynthetics is advancing quite rapidly. The use of geosynthetics has become not only a more practical application in the last decade, but also an essential material for reaching environmental sustainability. Their use in landslide mitigation, earthquakes, storm repair, construction, and road/highway creation has proven successful. From reducing long term maintenance to better performance, the use of geosynthetics is [...] Geosynthetics have been used successfully in stabilizing steep slopes of residual soil and weathered rock. Geotextiles placed horizontally in layers have helped to prevent landslides, which are generally induced by heavy rainfall. The tensile reinforcement and filtration help to stabilize the slopes or embankments. Through slope classification and geotechnical engineering reports, it can be determined what reinforcement type is needed to prevent landslides. [...] By 1958, interlocking concrete blocks along with the newly created woven material was used for the first time in preventing beach erosion for a waterfront structure. It wasn't until the late 70s that geotechnical fabrics, as they were called back then, were used in other applications. From 1978 to 1979, what we now know as geosynthetics were used in a test section of an embankment at Pinto Pass in Mobile, AL. From this application, tests were conducted that helped to develop design criteria and

applications are normally defined by the primary function of the following: Filtration: Geosynthetics can be used as filters to prevent soils from migrating into the adjacent material, such as drainage aggregate, while allowing water to flow through the system (e.g., the use of geotextile in trench drains, silt fence, etc.). Drainage: Geotextiles or geocomposites can be used as drainage, or conduit, by allowing water to drain from or through low-permeability soils. Separation: [...] Separation: Geosynthetics can be used as a separator to separate the two dissimilar materials and prevent them from mixing, such as the use of geotextile between fine-grained subgrade and granular base course below a roadway. Reinforcement: Geogrids or geotextiles can be used as reinforcement to increase shear strength of soils, thereby providing a more competent structural material. Examples of this application include the use of geogrid to reinforce a steep slope, or to strengthen a base [...] structure, or system. Most geosynthetics are made from synthetic polymers of polypropylene, polyester, or polyethylene. Geosynthetic products available today include, but are not limited to, geowebs, geogrids, geonets, geomeshes, geocomposites, and geotextiles. Geotextile is a permeable geosynthetic made of textile materials. Geotextile type is determined by the method used to combine the filaments or tapes into the planar structure. Appropriate Applications Geosynthetic applications are
