Geogrids are commonly used forapplications where the soil needs to withstand heavy loads, such as roadbeds, parking lots, or airport runways. Geogrids are also frequently used on steep slopes to prevent soil erosion and improve seismic stability
A geogrid isa synthetic material used to reinforce soil and other materials.Geogrids are often used in construction to stabilize soil structures and retaining walls. - Geogrids are stronger in tension than soil.
- They distribute loads more effectively than soil.
- They increase the stiffness of the base, which resists flexural deformation.
- They have large apertures that allow soil to communicate between the sides of the geogrid.
- Uniaxial geogrids:Also known as mono-oriented geogrids, these have higher strength in one direction than the other.
- Biaxial geogrids:Another type of geogrid.
