Uniaxial Geogrid for Soil Reinforcement | High Strength Solutions

Use of uniaxial geogrid for sub-base reinforcement has been shown to significantly improve the performance of the road. The sub-base is that interface layer which transmits and distributes the traffic loads to the underlying soil subgrade. Uniaxial geogrids are installed in the sub-base region perpendicular to the direction of the main traffic load. Due to the interlock with sub base materials, geogrid improves the load bearing capacity and resistance to deformation of the layer. This helps in more even distribution of the vehicle loads to reduce the stress concentration leading to rutting and cracking of the road surface. Additionally, reduction in the thickness of the sub-base that is required for the construction is achieved with this method which minimizes material usage and cost, while maintaining the road's durability and serviceability over time.
