This study sought to establish measures enhance the use of geosynthetics for civil infrastructure projects in Ghana and determine relative impact each measure. It employed Delphi technique, a structured questionnaire aided data collection from 15 expert panellists. At least good consensus was reached views panellists regarding 14 after two rounds survey. Out measures, there strong 3 as they rec...

When constructing flood protection structures such as river levees, oftentimes due to various factors engineers must design composite structures, i.e., reinforced earthen which comply with all the stability criteria. The most common way of reinforcing is usage geosynthetics, or mostly geogrids when talking about stability. Since geosynthetics are man-made materials produced in a controlled envi...

Geosynthetics are widely used in earth retaining structures such as steep slope and wall. The stability of the depends on interaction between geosynthetics soil at reinforced area known reinforcement mechanism. mechanism structure usually difficult to be analysed thoroughly. It is because preliminary study pull-out resistance durability material not taking into account before it has been site l...

Nine issues of importance to the use of geomembranes (GMs) and geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) as part of composite liners in geoenvironmental applications are examined. These issues include the effect of: GCL-leachate compatibility on hydraulic conductivity; freeze-thaw on GCL performance; internal erosion on GCL hydraulic conductivity; temperature on advection and diffusion as well as desicca...
