Erosion control is a critical challenge in environmental engineering, especially in areas where construction and landscaping alter the natural terrain. Geocell technology has emerged as an innovative solution to this problem. Geocells are three-dimensional, […]
In the classroom: Part 2: Geosynthetic coursework at Syracuse University, and Part 3: Geosynthetics education from IGS–NA
August 1st, 2017
Introduction This article is part of a 4-part series on how engineering students or practicing engineers learn about geosynthetic materials. Geosynthetic materials have been used in civil and environmental engineering applications for more than three decades. The benefits of geosynthetic materials are widely recognized, and they are used in a variety of industries. The high […]
