CONT: Overview of Construction Fabric Uses.

The concept of embedding straw and branches in clay could even be considered to fall within this category. ... The year 1977 was particularly significant because of a conference in Paris ... . The Conference organized sessions along the following topics areas: Fabrics at the subsoil-construction material interface (road, railways, etc.). Fabrics at the subsoil-construction material interface (earth fills). Multilayer soil-fabric systems. Mechanisms of soil-fabric interaction. Functioning of fabrics, including filters. Drainage. Consolidation.
