Welcome to the IGS Digital Library – the hub for anyone who wants to learn more about geosynthetics, their applications and related technology. Here you can find all official materials published by the IGS, available in several languages. We are also building up our content of non-IGS materials, to offer you a uniquely comprehensive resource.
We offer access to thousands of high-quality peer-reviewed research papers presented at conferences dating back to 1977. You can search by year, author and keyword.
Here you will find guidance, dissertations, case studies, and training materials.
