A Brief History of Geotextiles: A 40-Year Updata

摘要

The discipline of geosynthetics began many years before it had a name. The terms "geotextile" and "geosynthetics" were not coined until Dr. JP Giroud used those terms in a seminal paper and presentation at an engineering conference in Paris in 1977. The significance of that conference led to it being known, after the fact, as the First International Conference on Geosynthetics (1 ICG). This year, as Land and Water Magazine celebrates its 40th anniversary, the 1983-founded International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) will hold its 10th International Conference on Geosynthetics, 21-25 September 2014 in Berlin, Germany.
