The book by Prof. Krystyna Kazimierowicz-Frankowska is an invaluable source of information for anyone involved in hydraulic engineering. The author, drawing on years of experience and research results, presents the current state of knowledge on the use of geosynthetics in this field. This publication fills a gap in the literature, offering a comprehensive look at the possibilities that geosynthetics offer in the construction and modernization of hydraulic structures.

In the book, you will find a detailed discussion of the principles for designing and constructing reinforcements made of geosynthetic elements. The author summarizes the results of several years of work on this topic at the Institute of Hydro-Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdańsk, which makes this publication extremely valuable and up-to-date. The presented principles for material selection and the tests that should be carried out before their use in hydraulic engineering provide practical support for engineers and designers.

Geosynthetics, used as filtration, drainage, separation, reinforcement, and protection layers, are a key element in the construction of modern hydraulic structures. Used for the construction of breakwaters, artificial reefs, groynes, underwater sills, dams, and barriers, geosynthetics ensure the durability and safety of structures. With this book, you will gain the knowledge necessary to effectively use these materials in your projects.

Scientific Publishing House PWN, known for its high-quality scientific publications, puts in your hands a book that will certainly become an invaluable tool in your work. Invest in knowledge and join the ranks of experts in the field of hydraulic engineering with the use of geosynthetics!
