This graduation thesis covers specifications, properties and functions of geosynthetic\ud
materials used for filtration and separation purposes. It also describes different requirements\ud
covered in standards and presents possible design solutions for different types of use. The\ud
work discusses in detail the importance on knowledge of materials when designing with\ud
geotextiles and presents basic information for the reader to understand how material\ud
properties and soil properties influence the decision on final design choice. Problems that\ud
may occur during installation, or during design phase, are also described
