Geogrid vs. Geotextile Civil engineers are the one deciding which category of geosynthetics they would want to employ in their projects since most geosynthetics have properties suited for specific purposes. And to exercise this fine expertise, one has to be well-told on all the nitty-gritty that separate one class of geosynthetics from the other. Geogrids… Continue reading Geogrids vs. Geotextiles: Choosing the Right Geosynthetic

Geogrids have been used in a number of applications for civil engineering projects. With a principle function of reinforcing soil, it finds uses across industries due to its tensile strength, and ability to balance loads, across a variety of subgrades. But did you know that the aperture of a geogrid is not fixed? What is… Continue reading Geogrid Aperture Sizes: Impact on Soil Reinforcement

As civil engineers, our mission extends beyond construction; it’s about laying the groundwork for enduring stability. Geogrids, with their exceptional soil reinforcement capabilities, have emerged as a cornerstone in our toolkit. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll navigate the intricacies of geogrid installation, a process that, when executed with precision, can significantly bolster the integrity of… Continue reading Comprehensive Guide to Geogrid Installation for Soil Stability

Knowing the load bearing capacity of the soil is one of the crucial steps in building a structure. Although it seems simple, it has great importance in the construction industry. To understand how it plays an important role, we first need to understand the soil’s load bearing capacity. In this blog, you will be able… Continue reading What is the load bearing capacity of soil?

What is soil stabilisation? Soil stabilisation involves alteration of the soil’s physical, chemical, or biological characteristics to improve its stability, shear strength, load-bearing capacity and other geotechnical features to render the terrain usable in construction.This process of transforming a soil’s physical properties falls under a branch of geotechnical engineering. This is done by reducing permeability… Continue reading Soil stabilisation techniques: common methods and products

What are the properties of a geogrid? Geogrids are geosynthetic materials used for reinforcement and stabilizing soil structures. They have high tensile strength and a higher elastic modulus than soil, allowing them to distribute loads more effectively and provide better reinforcement in construction applications than they otherwise would. Geogrids can be used in soil reinforcement,… Continue reading What are the physical properties of geogrids?

What are Landfills? Landfills are sites for the disposal of waste materials. They go by other names as trash dumps, tips, dumps, rubbish dumps, and garbage dumps. The most traditional and widely used method of disposing of trash is through landfills, even though daily, intermediate, and ultimate covers were first systematically buried with rubbish in… Continue reading How can landfills be made more sustainable?
