A geocomposite consists of a combination of geotextile and geogrid; or geogrid and gromembrane; or geotextile, geogrid, and geomembrane; or any one of these three materials with another material (e.g., deformed plastic sheets, steel cables, or steel anchors). This exciting area brings out the best creative efforts of the engineer, manufacturer, and contractor. The application areas are numerous and growing steadily. The major functions encompass the entire range of functions listed for geosynthetics discussed previously : separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and liquid barrier.
