This publication presents recent advances in the design, maufacture, development and use of geosynthetics in environmental applications. the publication covered a wide range of issues relevant to those working in areas providing environmental protection through engineering measures (e.g those workin in waste management, contaminatied land and urban drainage). Contents Keynote paper Geomembrane liner durability: contributing factors and the status quo Geosynthetic barriers Hydraulic properties of geosynthetic clay liners Design interface shear strengths: peak or residual? Use of geosynthetics in landfill sweepwall lining systems Other environmental applications Applications of electrokinetic geosynthetics Geotextile bags for the containment, filtering and decontamination of slurries Applicaton of geosynthetics in sustainable drainage systems Protection and drainage in landfills Theoretical approach to designing protection: selecting a geomembrane strain criterion Use of geocomposite drains in landfill leachate drainage systems: the challenges
