This book covers the recent activity of the Romanian Geosynthetics Association which organised three editions of the national symposium GeoSint, in 1998, 2002, and 2007. Continuing in the tradition of previous symposiums, the tradition of this conference is being resumed, this time in a format specific to current times. The Romanian Geosynthetics Association was founded in 1990, the fourth edition of the Romanian Conference on Geosynthetics marking 35 years since its foundation. It was certainly an event with an international opening with 180 participants from 18 countries. The conference was organized in two days (3 4 April 2025) in which published works and six keynote lectures were presented. The scientific committee of the symposium was an international one, made up of specialists in the field.

About the author
Ernest Olinic took his degree in Civil Engineering in 1999, M.Sc. in Geotechnical Engineering in 2000, and Ph.D. with the thesis "Contributions to the implementation of landfills sealing systems" in 2010. All the titles were obtained in the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest. In 1999, he joined the Department of Geotechnical and Foundations Engineering from the same university where he is an associate professor and director of Department since 2015. His experience and areas of interest covers topics like: Landfills design, slopes stability, interpretation of soil characteristics and behaviour, foundation solutions in special conditions, and the use of geosynthetics in civil engineering. He was the secretary general of the Romanian Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (RoSSMGE) in period 2012–2021. He is the president of the IGS Romania (Romanian Geosynthetics Association ) since 2021.
