Features: This book systematically introduces the properties, design, construction, and applications of geosynthetic materials (including geotextiles, geomembranes, and other related types) in geotechnical engineering in China, reflecting the current level achieved both domestically and internationally. It includes numerous engineering case studies. The book is divided into four parts: Introduction; Materials and Their Characteristics; Key Points of Design and Construction (including chapters on impermeability, separation, reinforcement, filtration and drainage, and protection); and Engineering Applications (including chapters on road, bridge, and retaining wall engineering, sluice and dam engineering, coastal protection engineering, harbor and coastal engineering, flood control and emergency rescue engineering, underground engineering, farmland water conservancy engineering, environmental engineering, building engineering, and other types of engineering). At the end of the book, there are four appendices on international and domestic academic organizations related to geosynthetics, Chinese-English glossary, technical indicators of materials, and an index for the entire book.
