Geogrids are now an integral part of modern civil engineering projects. Infrastructure development of railways, highways, roadways, landfills, etc. has driven up demand for more effective, durable and relatively inexpensive material choices. Geogrids have been around for over 5 decades but are now quickly becoming an effective solution for reinforcements, landscaping and hardscaping. We take… Continue reading Why Are geogrids used? Benefits and applications explained
Key factors for geosynthetics in roadway construction The applications of geosynthetics in construction of roadways and pavements offer advantages in stability, drainage, and long-life features. Selection, therefore, is a project-dependent task that will require thoughtful consideration of several factors. This blog explains the key considerations when making such decisions. The decision to choose a combination… Continue reading Key factors for geosynthetics in roadway construction
Difference Between Non-Woven and Woven Geotextiles Geotextiles are geosynthetic materials with several applications in civil engineering. These robust synthetic fabrics are manufactured for multiple uses like soil stabilization, erosion control, construction, drainage and many such geotechnical projects. They are generally prepared from either polypropylene or polyester, as these are highly resistant to rot and corrosion.… Continue reading Difference Between Non-Woven and Woven Geotextiles
What is a road pavement, and how is it designed? A pavement is the top most surface of a road that bears the load of traffic, most often vehicular and should not be confused with a footpath. Now often this leads to confusion depending on the British or American style of English. Here, we’re referring… Continue reading What is a road pavement, and how is it designed?
What is permeability of soil? Soil permeability is a measure of its inherent ability to let liquids, gases, and/or vegetation pass through. It’s an innate property of soil and one of the six physical properties of soil. In the context of civil engineering, however, the most important element of permeability relates to water transmission. This… Continue reading What is permeability of soil?
If you’re in the midst of a construction project in a coastal area, prone to high water saturation and weak subgrades, what would you typically do for soil reinforcement? You may choose compaction, i.e. adding more soil to improve density. The other traditional option might be to add drainage by creating culverts, and or other… Continue reading What are the disadvantages of not using a geocell in road construction?
Have you driven past bridges and noted these blocks that fit like jigsaw puzzles under the bridge providing support? If you have –you have seen a pre-cast concrete block being used onsite. This is one of its most common applications as abutment walls, and/or retaining walls. Meaning of precast concrete blocks A precast concrete block… Continue reading What are the benefits of using precast concrete blocks?
How does landfill capping works? Today, globally, waste management is one of the biggest challenges in managing urban waste. With the increasing consumption rate of various goods and the manufacturing of those goods, a significant amount of waste is generated. If not managed properly, this waste can be hazardous to health and cause irreversible health… Continue reading How does landfill capping works?
What is landfill capping and why is it important? A landfill is a specially engineered area which is used by people to throw all the solid wastes, including household garbage, industrial waste, and construction debris, before burying them. Landfills are massive man made depressions constructed to minimize the impact on environmental and public health by… Continue reading What is landfill capping and why is it important?
