Geogrids

Geogrids

Geogrids are geosynthetics composed of a network of interconnected ribs with regularly spaced openings that facilitate bonding with the soil. They play a key role in reinforcement, enabling soil improvement, subgrade stabilization, asphalt resurfacing, and the construction of reinforced retaining structures. Depending on their structure, geogrids can be biaxial, multiaxial, or uniaxial, and are manufactured from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, or a composite of fiberglass and elastomeric polymers. They are also classified as extruded or woven, according to their manufacturing process. Extruded geogrids are high-strength geosynthetics made from polypropylene resins through extrusion, punching, and stretching processes (uniaxial, biaxial, or multiaxial). Its lattice design, with regular openings—square, rectangular or triangular—increases load-bearing capacity, reduces settlements and stabilizes the soil by transferring stresses through its interconnection and tensile strength.

Advantages

  • Road Structure Optimization: Geogrids allow for a reduction in the base layer of roads and highways, significantly decreasing quarrying costs, construction time, and maintenance.
  • Longer Road Lifespan: They considerably extend the durability of roads, railways, and reinforced roads.
  • Versatility in Containment Design: They facilitate the construction of structures with greater angles of repose, optimizing space and stability.
  • High Mechanical Performance: High tensile strength and excellent soil-geogrid interaction (interlocking) ensure greater structural efficiency.
  • Improved Load Distribution: They promote a uniform distribution of loads, minimizing deformation and settlement.
  • Superior Durability: High environmental resistance to degradation factors such as humidity, temperature, and chemical agents.
  • Reduced Costs and Materials: They decrease the need for traditional materials, generating economic savings and environmental benefits.
  • Ease of Installation and Sustainability: Quick and easy installation with a reduced environmental impact.
  • Resistance to cyclic loads: They maintain their performance against repetitive loads, ideal for high traffic infrastructures.
