High-strength geogrids are vital components of most contemporary construction work, especially in the projects that require reinforced soil or stability under load across structures like roadways, retaining walls, and embankments. These grids are specialized materials used to enhance the application of several civil engineering structures including roadways, retaining walls, and embankments.
At Strata Global, we fabricate our geogrids with the use of high tenacity polyester (PET) yarns. This core product provides the main source of strength. These yarns are also coated with a polyethylene tube of extra wide roll widths which tends to resist moisture, chemicals and ultraviolet rays.
It’s not only the substance but a cluster of crucial characteristics which makes the high geometric geogrids distinctive from the normal geogrids. These characteristics make it possible for them to support extreme loads without losing their flexibility and durability over time.
There are two main types of geogrids, each suited for different applications.
These are designed to be strong in one direction. Uniaxial geogrids are ideal for retaining walls, where they provide excellent reinforcement and stability
Biaxial geogrids offer strength in both the vertical and horizontal directions. These are commonly used in applications like roadways and embankments, where stability is needed in more than one direction.
To make sure a geogrid truly qualifies as high strength , some standards and normative documents are required. For instance, there are standards developed by several organizations, including ASTM, which clearly outline the parameters that make geogrids high-strength.
Most widely performed tests include tensile tests in which geogrids are pulled apart to breakage to determine the tensile strength of the specimen. In pull-out tests, the resistance to geogrids dislodging from the ground is measured, which is particularly important in applications such as retaining walls.
Furthermore, laboratory certifications are issued for geogrids ensuring that these are within the specified properties before field application.
In the field of civil engineering, high strength geogrids offer effective alternatives for soil stabilization and load dispersion. Selecting the appropriate geogrid type such as uniaxial for retaining walls or biaxial for pavement applications is key to enhancing the performance and durability of any project. At Strata Global, our primary focus and priorities are geogrids of this kind, customized for every possible engineering problem.
