This short course provides an integrated view of the multiple applications of geosynthetics in these three transportation modes. This includes the mechanisms involved in the different applications, the identification of relevant properties, the available design methodologies, and case histories involving the use of geosynthetics in pavements, railways and airfields.An outline of the main topics to be covered is as follows:•	Welcome &amp; Objectives•	Geosynthetics: Types and Functions•	Structural Capacity of Pavements•	Overview of Geosynthetic applications in Pavements•	Overview of Geosynthetics in Railways•	Geosynthetics for Retardation of Asphalt Reflective Cracking•	Geosynthetics for Reduction of Subgrade Soil Intermixing•	Geosynthetics for Stabilization of Base and Ballast•	Geosynthetics for Stabilization of Subgrades•	Geosynthetics for Mitigation of Environmental Loads•	Geosynthetics for Enhanced drainage•	Path Forward &amp; ClosureThis is a full-day short course, organized on behalf of the Australasian Chapter of the International Geosynthetics Society (ACIGS). Course attendees will complete the short course with a working knowledge on the characteristics of different geosynthetics and their use to solve specific problems in the structural design of pavements and railways.
