Geocomposites are combinations of two or more geosynthetic materials for civil engineering applications that perform multiple geosynthetic functions; the five basic functions are: separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and containment.[1] Such composite materials may enhance technical properties of the soil or the geotechnical structure and minimize application costs.
