Designing with Geosynthetics
R. Koerner

For courses on Geosynthetics. Geosynthetic materials have entered the mainstream in the professional arena and are no longer considered new construction material. Koerner was the first college-level text published on the subject in its first edition; this revision emphasizes design by function; it overviews all types of geosynthetics, with stand-alone units on particular materials. NEW - Expanded coverage of containers and tubes in the geotextile chapter. NEW - Discussion of walls and slope design, including seismic analysis, in the geogrid chapter. NEW - Treatment of wet landfills, agricultural waste, waste stability, and dam waterproofing in the geomembrane chapter. NEW - Discussion of new products and related performances in the geosynthetic clay liner chapter. NEW - Discussion of new products and related behavior, including fiber reinforcement and wall drainage, in the geocomposite chapter. NEW - Completely new chapter on geofoam. Suggested areas for further research and development as appropriate. Theory and techniques of chemical analysis introduced for identifying polymer types and properties. EngineerŐs perspective of chemical analysis for an understandable and useful foundation. A wealth of problems throughout-Cover a wide range of applications, including geotextile wall design, geogrid wall design, geomembrane side slope design, and GCL hydraulic barrier design. Worked examples-Illustrate all major uses of geosynthetics with descriptive and numeric analysis. Generic basis for presentation of geosynthetics design, testing, and selection, rather than a product-specific basis. Presents the most up-to-date information and material. S.I. units used for all problems and examples.
