Towards More Sustainable Materials for Geo-Environmental Engineering: The Case of Geogrids

Plastic materials are widely used in geotechnical engineering, especially as geosynthetics. The use of plastic-based products involves serious environmental risks caused by their degradation. Innovative research has been focusing on biodegradable polymers of natural origin, especially on poly(lactic...
