Pre-Owned Woodhead Publishing Textiles Geotextiles: From Design to Applications (Hardcover)

Geotextiles: From Design to Applications presents valuable information on the high performance fabrics used in soil separation drainage filtration reinforcement and cushioning. These polymeric materials offer solutions for geoengineering and other civil engineering specialties due to their advanced physical mechanical hydraulic and endurance properties. This important book offers comprehensive coverage of the manufacture functions properties designs and applications of geotextiles. Part One begins with a chapter on the history of geotextiles followed by chapters giving detailed reviews of the types of fabrics and their manufacturing processes from resin type to fiber extrusion to textile fabrication. Part Two covers the properties behavior and testing of geotextiles with Part Three focusing on applications dealing with the specific primary functions of geotextiles. In Part Four chapters offer numerous general applications of geotextiles including those in waste containment marine engineering walls/slopes agriculture and erosion control. Finally the chapters of Part Five address quality control and assurance for geotextiles and the increasingly important topic of sustainability.
