Geosynthetics in various forms, e.g. geotextiles, geogrids, geomembranes, geocomposites and geosynthetics clay liners, are used in various fields. This book, published in 4 volumes, includes all the lectures and papers presented at the Conference (oral and poster presentations): the IGS history, the Giroud lecture, 3 keynote lectures and 350 papers reviewed by the International Review Panel and selected by the International Paper Selection Committee. These papers written by A01s from 38 countries contain many case studies besides theoretical and experimental research works. They are classified into the following 5 major topics: (1) Waste Landfills, (2) Hydraulic, (3) Erosion, (4) Transport, (5) Reinforcement. This book is indispensable for those involved in the field of geosynthetics to know the state of the art, recent advancements, new research findings and recent case histories.
