What Are the Advantages of structural geogrid mesh？

Purpose and functionality: A grid-like structure created from high-tensile-strength polymers. Geogrids strengthen the soil, improving its load-bearing capacity. Synthetic fibers that excel in filtration, drainage, separation, and erosion control. They allow water to pass through while retaining soil particles. Material composition and strength: The materials used to manufacture geogrids include high-strength polymers like polyethylene, polyester, or fiberglass. Their manufacturing process, involving extrusion, knitting, or weaving, yields a grid-like structure with exceptional tensile strength and stiffness. Geotextiles are crafted from synthetic fibers like polyester, polypropylene, or nylon. The manufacturing process, either woven or non-woven, influences their properties. Woven geotextiles offer better strength and tear resistance, while non-woven geotextiles are preferable for filtration applications because of their increased pore space. Installation Considerations: Geogrids are unrolled and placed in the designated location, requiring minimal subgrade preparation. Seams between geogrids can be fastened mechanically or overlapped. Geotextile installation may require grading and subgrade preparation, especially in erosion control or drainage applications. For instance, in erosion control, proper grading and subgrade preparation is necessary to ensure a stable surface for geotextile placement. Water permeability and drainage: Due to their open grid-like structure, geogrids allow for the free passage of water within the soil, which is beneficial in preventing excessive hydrostatic pressure buildup when used in conjunction with appropriate drainage systems in applications like retaining walls The permeability margins of geotextiles are dependent on their specific purpose. For drainage applications, highly permeable geotextiles are chosen to facilitate water flow. Conversely, for erosion control, geotextiles with lower permeability are chosen to impede water flow and stabilise the soil.

What Are Geogrids?

Geogrid Solution Overview

Before we define what a geogrid is, let's take a look at the larger category of geosynthetics. A geosynthetic is a synthetic product, usually made from or including polymeric materials, that is used to solve civil and geotechnical engineering problems in or on the ground. Geosynthetics add to or enhance the functions of conventional materials to make construction more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable. Designs using geosynthetics should be based on the function(s) of the selected materials to meet the engineering objective(s).
