Geosynthetics - straight forward, crystal clear

Designing with Geosynthetics is the definitive text book for the geotechnical designer and specification writer, yet is simplistic enough for someone with no previous experience with Geosynthetics. The design by function approach is a common-sense straigh-forward concept that helps the reader understand the functionality of these plastic materials within a soil matrix. The text is also a boon to site owners and developers who using traditional methods would not develop a site, but with geosynthetic solutions, may develop the most difficult sites cost effectively.
