Uniaxial Geogrid for Soil Reinforcement | High Strength Solutions

Strength requirements for uniaxial geogrid tendons are based on multiple factors within a single project. The magnitude and type of load which a geogrid has to bear, such as traffic loads in case of road constructions and earth pressure in retaining wall projects, is of primary concern. Other factors like soil type, density, and even shear strength influence geogrid's tensile strength. For example, soft soil areas may require uniaxial geogrid with higher tensile strength unidirectionally to provide better reinforcement. In addition, the expected life of the structure and external environmental conditions like chemical exposure or UV radiation are relevant too. Engineers tend to calculate and preset the uniaxial geogrids' tensile strength in a manner to enable soil reinforcement as well as endure the stress throughout the designed life span of the project.
