Abstract

Geosynthetics have experienced considerable development over the past twenty years in environmental applications, more specifically in landfill applications (Gourc, 1995).

To begin with, it would seem appropriate to present the main families of geosynthetics that can be used in this field. First, there are the “non-woven” and “woven” Geotextiles, one of the main functions of which is to separate soils of different types, or to act as a filter.

Next there are Geogrids, which may be uniaxially oriented or biaxially oriented in order to obtain enhanced strength in one or two directions. They are used extensively for soil reinforcement. Geomembranes are intended by their “tightness” to prevent the transmission of fluids or gases across them.
