Geocomposites: Multi-Functional Engineering Solutions for Construction

Geocomposites are multi functional materials synthesized by the merging two or more geosynthetic products. This merger enables the conjunction of other diverse properties like reinforcement, filtration, drainage and isolation. For example, a typical geocomposite may includes a geogrid for reinforcement and a geotextile for filtration and separations. In civil engineering works, the applications of geocomposites are numerous. In foundation engineering, they can improve soil stabililty and mitigate settlement. In environmental projects like landfills, geocomposites are highly important for containing the waste and preventing leachate leakage. Construction engineers often face, and frequently find it challenging to effectively and simultaneously address multiple engineering necessities, which makes geocomposites remarkably useful. Geocomposites enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of infrastructure projects making them more durable and improving overall performance.
