    Geosynthetics are human-made polymers used in construction projects to provide functions like separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, or liquid barriers. They include geotextiles (textile fabrics), geogrids (grid-like polymer sheets), geomembranes (impermeable polymer sheets), and geocomposites (hybrid systems). Geosynthetics replace materials like steel and concrete, allow for rapid installation, and can improve soil behavior. They have been used extensively in India since the late 1990s for applications like reinforced walls and pavements. The document discusses the various types of geosynthetics and their functions.

    Geosynthetics

    Presented by:
    G.Mahendranath
    Introduction

    • What are Geosynthetics?

    • Why would we want to use them?

    • How should we use them?


    What are Geosynthetics?
     Geosynthetics are human-made materials
    made from various types of polymers used
    to enhance, augment and make possible cost
    effective environmental, transportation and
    geotechnical engineering construction
    projects. They are used to provide one or
    more of the following functions;
    separation, reinforcement, filtration,
    drainage or liquid barrier.
    What Are Geosynthetics
    A planar, polymeric (synthetic or natural)
    material used in contact with soil/rock
    and/or any other geotechnical material,
    for Filtration, Drainage, Separation,
    Reinforcement, Protection, Sealing and
    Packing.
    Categories of geosynthetics:

     Geotextile
     Geogrid
     Geocomposite
     Geomembranes
     Geonets
     Geocells
    Geotextiles:-
    Flexible, textile-like fabrics of controlled
    permeability used to provide filtration,
    separation or reinforcement in soil, rock
    and waste materials.
    Woven and non woven
    Geotextile
    Geogrids:-
    Stiff or flexible polymer grid-like sheets
    with large apertures used primarily as
    reinforcement of unstable soil and waste
    masses
    Types of Geogrids
    • Geogrids
    - Extruded
    - Knitted or Woven
    Extruded & Woven Geogrid
    Geocomposites:-
    Hybrid systems of any, or all, of the above
    geosynthetic types which can function as
    specifically designed for use in soil, rock,
    waste and liquid related problems.
    Geomembranes:-
    Essentially impermeable polymeric sheets
    used as barriers for liquid or solid waste
    containment.
    Geonets:-
    Stiff polymer net-like sheets with in-plane
    openings used primarily as a drainage
    material within landfills or in soil and rock
    masses.
    Geocells:-
    A three-dimensional, permeable,polymeric
    (synthetic or natural) honeycomb or web
    structure, made of strips of geotextiles,
    geogrids or geomembranes linked
    alternatingly and used in contact with
    soil/rock and/or any other geotechnical
    material in civil engineering applications.
    Geosynthetics – the functions
     Separation
     Drainage
     Filtration
     Reinforcement
     Moisture barrier
     Cushion
    Geosynthetics
     They generally replace scarce raw material
    resources like steel/cement/aggregates
     They are good alternatives to conventional
    designs
     They are, sometimes, the only means of
    construction
     They can be rapidly installed
     They can revitalise textile industries ???
    Geosynthetics
     Modern civil engineering construction
    materials
     Modify/Improve soil/geologic material
    behaviour
     Developed/Synthesized for specific
    function or application in construction
     More than 1billion sq m annual use
    Geosynthetics – The Indian
    Scenario
     Teaching at IITD 1986
     Research at IITD 1987
     Field trials in India and first use in India -
    Late 1980’S
     Extensive Dissemination at Workshops, short
    courses etc
     Regular use in India --- late 1990’s
     Now, well proven for reinforced walls &
    pavements
     High potential for other applications

    CONCLUSIONS:-
    This paper presented recent advances in
    geosynthetic products, on the utilization of
    these materials in reinforced soil structures
    and in environmental applications.

    Manufacturing of geosynthetics products


    allows incorporating recent advances in
    material sciences.
