Hydraulic applications of geosynthetics
After more than 30 years of successful experience, geosynthetics are very well established for many applications in hydraulic engineering (dams, canals, basins, erosion protection, scour countermeasures, coastal protection, ...) and the possible uses are growing continuously. There is a great variety in materials as well as in products and application areas. Geosynthetics in hydraulic applications cover mainly the following functions: separation, filtration, draining and lining. The manufactured products comprise wovens and nonwovens made from natural and synthetic fibres, bituminous and synthetic geomembranes, all kinds of composites manufactured according to the specific requirements. For all these applications, experience has been gained, tests have been developed, regulations and recommendations have been written. The paper will give insight into the different applications and the corresponding design theories, material testing, installation procedures, regulations and long-term experience. Examples are given from all over the world with the aim that this information leads to a unified approach for the application of geosynthetics in hydraulic engineering.
