Sustainable Solutions with Geosynthetics and Alternative Construction Materials—A Review

Geosynthetics have proven to provide sustainable solutions for geotechnical and geoenvironmental problems when used with natural materials. Therefore, the expected benefits to the environment when geosynthetics are associated with unconventional or alternative construction materials will be even gre...
