        abstract = {Dimple strips and strip drains represent a significant advancement in geosynthetic engineering, fundamentally reshaping traditional approaches to drainage and waterproofing in construction and civil engineering. These innovative solutions, primarily composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP), feature a distinctive three-dimensional dimpled core, often integrated with a geotextile fabric. Their design enables them to serve as highly efficient drainage layers while simultaneously providing robust protection for underlying waterproofing membranes. The adoption of these materials marks a definitive shift from aggregate-based systems and outdated waterproofing methods, delivering improved installation efficiency, durability, and sustainability. This paper reviews the structure, performance, and application of dimple strip technologies and their implications for the global infrastructure landscape.},
