Application of Geosynthetics in Waste Containment explains the transport mechanism and influencing factors of pollutants in geosynthetics. It offers readers a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of geosynthetics and provides a theoretical basis for the development of new geosynthetic materials. This book begins by examining the types, current applications, and development trends of commonly used geosynthetic materials in the field of environmental protection. The fundamental characteristics of geosynthetic materials and their roles in environmental protection are introduced. Subsequently, it focuses on material durability and introduces new materials, which are crucial considerations in environmental applications. Furthermore, this book provides detailed explanations of the application of geosynthetic materials in waste containment, drainage and filtration layers, cover systems, bottom liners, and vertical cutoff walls within engineering barriers. It also offers a systematic presentation of the mechanisms and design methods for pollution prevention and leakage control. Finally, this book analyzes the significant role of geosynthetic materials in environmental protection through practical case studies. Engineers working with geosynthetics in environmental protection and waste containment will appreciate this invaluable resource.
