This chapter discusses the engineering behavior and properties of geosynthetics that are relevant to the analysis and design of geosynthetic reinforced soil walls, including load‐ deformation behavior, creep and relaxation behavior, soil‐geosynthetic interface behavior, and hydraulic properties. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using geosynthetics as reinforcement. Among different types of geosynthetics, geotextiles, geogrids, geocells, and geocomposites have been used as reinforcement in reinforcing applications. Geotextiles, when used independently, are the most versatile among all types of geosynthetics, taking up about 3/4 of the geosynthetics market. Geogrids are plastics formed into an open, grid‐like configuration. Geocells are typically formed by extruding from polymeric materials into strips welded together ultrasonically in series. Geocomposites are formed by combining two or more types of geosynthetic products in the manufacturing process to obtain the combined advantages of the different geosynthetic products.
