LMCSTC program: The design of geotextiles based on some European experience

For a wide variety of their applications, geotextiles and related products (G.R.P.) are designed on an empirical basis. Taking the indsstry's or site engineer's requests into account, the authors have set up a personal-computer design program (LMCSTC) in order to facilitate and accelerate the design and the choice of geotextiles and related products. It is based on existing European design recommendations. It has also been developed in order to compare solutions suggested in various countries for the same applications.
