Download or read book Geosynthetics in Civil Engineering written by R W Sarsby and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geosynthetics are man-made polymer-based materials which facilitate cost effective building, environmental, transportation and other construction projects. Given their versatility, geosynthetics are a vital material in all aspects of civil engineering.The first section of the book covers the fundamentals of geosynthetics. Chapters discuss the design and durability of geosynthetics together with their material properties and international standards governing their use. Building on these foundations, part two examines the various applications of geosynthetics in areas such as filters, separators, landfills, barriers and foundation materials. The book concludes by reviewing methods of quality assurance and the service life of geosynthetics.Written by an international team of contributors, Geosynthetics in civil engineering is an essential reference to all those involved in civil engineering. - Discusses the fundamentals of geosynthetics - Examines various applications in areas such as filters, separators, landfills and foundation materials - Reviews quality assurance and the service life of geosynthetics

Download or read book Geosynthetics written by David I. Cook and published by iSmithers Rapra Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geosynthetics often play critical roles in civil engineering and it is important that the materials in use can withstand the physical and chemical pressures of the environment. These range from resistance to leachates from landfill to resistance to root damage in soil liners, as well as standard properties such as resistance to creep, oxidation and UV light, and tensile strength. This Rapra Review Report discusses the polymers used in each category of geosynthetics, production methods, test methods and applications. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

Book excerpt: During the past decade, the use of geotextiles has increased significantly in a wide range of civil engineering applications: road construction, coastal engineering, stabilization of slopes and retaining structures, reinforcement of foundations, drainage etc. This work focuses on the factors which determine the level of long-term performance of these materials such as their mechanical and physical properties and physico-chemical ageing processes. (It includes contributions to an international seminar held at Saint-Remy-les-Chevreuse, France, in November 1986)

Download or read book Industrial Textiles written by Jarmila Švédová and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1990 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The steadily growing demand for industrial textiles, the new materials used and the new quality requirements have resulted in the development of new, unconventional, high-productivity production techniques in recent decades. All these new techniques feature reduced production cost and short-cut production processes. The advent of synthetic fibres exhibiting characteristics never associated with textile raw materials before, such as high strength, elasticity, uniformity, chemical resistance, microvegetation and humidity, reduced or even complete inflammability, resistance to abrasion and flexing, and many other properties, which have to some extent been programmed into the fibre production process has had a vital influence on the development of industrial textiles. As a result of the synthetic fibres which can be tailored to give the performance characteristics required, the range of industrial textiles has rapidly widened and even extended to application areas never covered by textiles before. Industrial textiles have in fact, recently been introduced as construction materials where the use of textiles was previously inconceivable.
