Geosynthetic sorption sheet—Another function of geosynthetics?
, 2023 This paper discusses a novel geosynthetics sorption sheet that provides both sorption and traditional geosynthetic functions. In particular, the geosynthetic sorption sheet facilitates both water drainage and chemical barrier function. In this paper, batch sorption tests are used to evaluate the sheet's attenuation performance. The results of soil tank
