Abstract:  Geosynthetics have revolutionized the field of geotechnical engineering by providing effective and economical solutions for soil stabilization, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and containment. Their unique mechanical and hydraulic properties make them indispensable in modern infrastructure projects such as retaining walls, embankments, roadways, and landfills. This paper provides an overview of the different types of geosynthetics, their functional mechanisms, recent advancements, and practical applications. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges faced in implementation, quality control considerations, and future research directions in the field. Through a comprehensive analysis, the study highlights the critical role of geosynthetics in enhancing soil performance and infrastructure sustainability.
