Geosynthetics is a type of polymeric material predominantly used in engineering applications such as civil construction and environmental protection projects. Rising land scarcity, increasing awareness about seismic hazards, and stringent environmental regulations are the catalyzing factors behind the growth of geosynthetics. Some of the major polymeric materials used in the production of geosynthetics are polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester. In general, geosynthetics materials are [...] What are Geo-synthetics ? • Geo-synthetics are synthetic products, where at least one of the components is made from a synthetic or natural polymer, in the form of a sheet, a strip or a three dimensional structure, non-woven, knitted, or woven which is used in contact with soil/rock and/or other materials in geotechnical and civil engineering applications . • These include: • Planar structures (geomembranes, geotextiles, geosynthetic barriers, geonets, geogrids, geostrips, geospacers and [...] Environmental Importance of Geosynthetics • The civil engineering structures need to have long term durability to prevent potential ecological disasters (floods, draughts, earthquakes, global warming) . Geosynthetics provide such long lasting solutions with minimum cost. • Geo-techs are difficult or impossible to degrade. However, in view of their inert nature they can be disposed off without the danger of contamination. • Geosynthetics assist the environment by acting as a containing barrier

characterize the materials. Although use of geosynthetics has gained wide acceptance in many sectors of civil engineering and highway construction, their use is still limited on rural roads, both nationally and internationally. Because of the many useful aspects of geosynthetics in engineering design, their uses as part of “best engineering practices” are valuable to make roads last their design life, be cost- effective, and be more resilient in this time of climate change. RESUMEN Este [...] protection, in walls, to reinforce subgrades, and for low-water crossings. A wide variety of geosynthetic materials are being used in erosion control for mats, nettings, drainage structures, and with bioengineering methods. Much more attention is given today to quality control and properties testing to better characterize the geosynthetic materials. Although use of geosynthetics has gained wide acceptance in many sectors of civil engineering and highway construction, their use is still limited [...] de la ingeniería civil y la construcción de carreteras, su uso aún es limitado en caminos rurales, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Debido a los muchos aspectos útiles de los geosintéticos en el diseño de ingeniería, sus usos como parte de las “mejores prácticas de ingeniería” son valiosos para hacer que las carreteras duren su vida útil de diseño, sean rentables, y sean más resistentes en esta época de cambio climático. 1.

as elements used in different constructions, both geotechnical and civil construction. Aspects related to the technological mechanisms involved in the application of this material were discussed. As geosynthetics is a material of increasing application in Engineering, and particularly in geotechnical works, the ease of application brings with it the low cost and versatility of these materials when compared to previously used methodologies and traditional materials, making it an extremely [...] and variety presented by geosynthetics continue to drive its application in various Geotechnical Engineering projects. The idea of associating reinforcement, filtration, drainage and separation elements with geotechnical works started thousands of years ago. The reinforcements generally used for quality improvement were fibrous plant materials mixed with the ground, were used in the Ziggurats, the Great Wall of China, and various works of the Roman Empire, while fine bamboo and coconut-like [...] directly to soil containment. This article aims to map different materials used in geotechnical works, which makes it really important to use effective systems that try to solve problems related to soil containment, where possible with the use of geosynthetic blankets, which presents a material very versatile that can be used in different works of Geotechnical Engineering with different purposes.
