Exploring the Underlying Constraints to the Use of Geosynthetics for Civil Engineering Infrastructure: A Study from Ghana

Matthew Kwaw Somiah, Eric Awere & Isaac Yaw Manu · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2022

Whereas the level of use of geosynthetics on continental basis is generally considered to be low, little is known of country-specific studies that unravel the constraints to the use of geosynthetics for civil engineering infrastructure in the construction industry. Thus, this stu...
