Geogrids are grid-like polymeric materials used to reinforce soils and similar materials. Known for their high tensile strength, they are often used in civil engineering applications to reinforce retaining walls, subbases or subsoils below roads or structures, and to improve soil stabilization.
Applications of Geogrids:
- Erosion Control: Employed in erosion control projects to stabilize soil on slopes and prevent soil erosion.
- Foundation Support: Used beneath foundations to distribute loads and improve soil stability.
- Landfill Reinforcement: Utilized in landfill construction for structural stability and to support cover systems.
- Railroad Beds: Improves the strength and stability of railroad beds, ensuring track integrity.
- Retaining Walls and Slopes: Provides necessary reinforcement to stabilize soil in retaining walls and embankments.
- Road Construction: Enhances the load-bearing capacity of roads and pavements, reducing rutting and extending lifespan.
