Finally, the long-awaited book by the man who coined the term "geomembrane" and is regarded as the foremost international expert on the subject. J.P. Giroud draws on over forty years of experience with geomembranes both in the field and as a design engineer, as well as his connections through the International Geosynthetics Society.
The book begins with basic definitions, composition and production of geomembranes, and descriptions of geomembrane applications with numerous illustrations. In a second part, it reviews the various types of geomembranes: PVC, HDPE, LLDPE, PP, EPDM, CSPE and bituminous geomembranes. Finally, it presents systematic comparisons between the various types of geomembranes.
Its approach is essentially qualitative, avoiding equations and tables of numerical data. It is accessible to a broad readership including students, professors, researchers, civil and geotechnical engineers with or without knowledge on geomembranes, members of the geomembrane industry (manufacturers, suppliers, distributers, installers), engineers designing projects incorporating geomembranes, engineers and technicians in testing laboratories, providers of quality assurance, officials and engineers in organizations dealing with hydraulic structures such as canals, dams and reservoirs, and regulators in charge of permitting geomembrane-lined landfills, reservoirs or dams. This is the ideal book for all, from beginners to experts.
