    The document provides an outline for a presentation on geo-synthetics. It begins with an introduction that defines geo-synthetics as synthetic polymer products used in contact with soil, rock, or other materials for geotechnical and civil engineering applications. This includes planar and 3D structures. It then discusses the global outlook for geo-synthetics, noting strong projected growth and increasing use in infrastructure projects in countries like China and India. Specific categories of geo-synthetics are defined and their functions and advantages are summarized.

    PRESENTATION OUTLINE

    INTODUCTION

    What are Geo-synthetics ?


    Geo-synthetics are synthetic products, where at least one

    of the components is made from a synthetic or natural


    polymer, in the form of a sheet, a strip or a three
    dimensional structure, non-woven, knitted, or woven which
    is used in contact with soil/rock and/or other materials in
    geotechnical and civil engineering applications .

    These include:

    Planar structures (geomembranes, geotextiles, geosynthetic


    barriers, geonets, geogrids, geostrips, geospacers and geomats,
    etc.) and
    Three-dimensional structures (geocells, geofoams, gabions and
    concrete filled mattresses).

    GEOSYNTHETICS GLOBAL OVERVIEW


    Worldwide demand for geosynthetics is projected to rise 5.3 percent

    annually to 4.7 billion square meters in 2013.


    China, India, Russia and other countries with large-scale infrastructure
    developments planned, and evolving environmental protection
    regulations and building construction codes are expected to register
    the strongest advances.
    Geo-synthetics are especially useful in an environment of increasing
    land scarcity, increased awareness of seismic hazards, and need more
    stringent environmental regulations especially in the context of India.
    Strong growth in China is demonstrated by use of geosynthetics in
    almost all government sponsored/controlled projects in various areas
    while such is not the case in India.

    Why use geosynthetics??


    Non-uniform consistency
    Unstable soils
    Moisture problems
    Tensile strength

    Functions of geosynthetics
    1.separation

    2.filtration

    3. drainage

    4.reinforcement

    5.Sealing

    6.protection and erosion control

    ADVANTAGES
    Space Savings - Sheet-like, geosynthetics take up much less space

    in a landfill than do comparable soil and aggregate layers.


    Cost Savings - Geosynthetic materials are generally less costly to
    purchase, transport and install than soils and aggregates.
    Technical Superiority - Geosynthetics have been engineered for
    optimal performance in the desired application.
    Construction Timing - Geosynthetics can be installed quickly,
    providing the flexibility to construct during short construction
    seasons, breaks in inclement weather, or without the need to
    demobilize and remobilize the earthwork contractor.
    Material Availability - Numerous suppliers of most
    geosynthetics and ease of shipping insure competitive pricing and
    ready availability of materials.

    Material Quality Control - Soil and aggregate are

    generally heterogeneous materials that may vary


    significantly across a site or borrow area.
    Geosynthetics on the other hand are relatively
    homogeneous because they are manufactured under
    tightly controlled conditions in a factory. They undergo
    rigorous quality control to minimize material variation.
    Environmental Sensitivity Geosynthetic
    systems reduce the use of natural resources and the
    environmental damage associated quarrying, trucking,
    and other material handling activities.

    DISADVANTAGES
    The exposed lifetime of geosynthetics, being

    polymeric, is less than unexposed as when they are


    soil backfilled.
    Long-term performance of the particular formulated
    resin being used to make the geosynthetic must be
    assured by using proper additives including
    antioxidants, ultraviolet screeners, and fillers.
    Handling, storage, and installation must be assured
    by careful quality control and quality assurance about
    which much has been written.
