Dykes, or levees, are structures designed and constructed to keep the water in a river within certain bounds event of flood. In relation with climate change, more frequent floods, higher intensity, can be expected due anthropogenic emissions greenhouse gases into atmosphere. The objective this review paper is address many ways which geosynthetics contribute sustainable construction dykes thus s...

Abstract Geosynthetics are human made material used to reinforce soils improve the bearing capacity and permeability of soil, reducing soil settlement. application plays a vital role in highways constructions with no additive layers, such as cement concrete, asphalt or subgrade layer that affects unbounded layers. This paper presents geosynthetics tensional has been for reinforcement clayey soi...

In the past thirty years many mining projects in Chile and Peru have used: (i) polymeric geomembranes (ii) design-and-build cutoff trenches, plastic concrete slurry walls, grout curtain systems to control seepage at tailings storage facilities (TSFs). Geosynthetics are a viable alternative TSF dam for clay cores or impermeable materials, mainly because of their marked advantages cost, installat...

Civil infrastructure monitoring with the aim of early damage detection and acquiring data required for urban management not only prevents sudden collapse increases service life sustainability but also facilitates smart cities including transportation sectors. In this context, geosynthetics can act as vital arteries extracting transmitting information about states strain, stress, damage, deforma...
