The IGS Geosynthetics Handbook, First Edition provides a comprehensive overview of geosynthetic materials, their applications, design considerations, and installation practices across infrastructure works. Developed by the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) with contributions from global experts, this peer-reviewed handbook is a practical reference for civil engineering professionals of all experience levels, educators, and students.

*Please note the IGS Geosynthetics Handbook is paperback.*

Rather than being read cover-to-cover, the handbook is designed as a frequent reference tool and a living document, with future editions set to expand and update its scope.

Edited by George R. Koerner, PhD, PE, with chapters authored by Barry Christopher, Eli Cuelho, Chris Lawson, R. Kerry Rowe, Joel Sprague, Jay Sprague, and Kent von Maubeuge.
