Description
A design manual on geotextiles and related products which are providing new and cost-effective ways to design and construct earth structures and to repair the slopes of older ones. This publication is a source of guidance for geotechnical, structural and highway engineers, construction and environmental professionals, and local authorities. Based on a review of international knowledge and practice, it explains geotextile systems of reinforcement and how the material properties and those of the products affect their performance. Separate chapters review the engineering. Environ mental impact of building and construction materials approach to reinforced soil behaviour, soil strength and bearing capacity, and the Environmental impact of building and construction materials sele ction of design values and safety margins. The design guidance is supported by worked examples and design charts.
