Uniaxial Geogrids are lattice grid fabrics made of high-strength composites or plastics such as high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. These strong plastic punched sheets are used to reinforce paved roads, or structurally support retaining walls.
Geogrids offer a vital solution for enhancing the stability and longevity of retaining walls. These specialized materials, often made from high-strength polymers or fiberglass, are designed to provide reinforcement by distributing and controlling the forces exerted by soil and other backfill materials. Geogrids are integrated within the layers of the retaining wall structure, effectively confining the soil and preventing potential erosion and structural failure. With their unique ability to improve load-bearing capacity and reduce settlement, geogrids play a pivotal role in constructing resilient retaining walls that withstand the challenges of varying soil conditions and environmental stresses.
Do I need Geogrid for the retaining wall?
Geogrid is used in almost every type of hardscape—from driveways to walkways to patios and everything in between. However, it is essential in retaining walls, particularly those above three or four feet. Geogrid should be implemented whenever you want your hardscape to last and stay structurally sound.
What is the purpose of geogrid in the retaining wall?
Geogrid is a geosynthetic material, made of polymers, which is used to reinforce soil behind retaining walls. Installed in horizontal layers between wall courses and extending into the soil behind a wall, geogrid stabilizes the soil and so increases a wall system’s mass and stability.
How far back should geogrid go on a retaining wall?
In general, geogrid should be placed at the design elevation for the entire wall length or until a wall step is reached. Minimum reinforcement lengths were set for 5 feet(1.5m) and a 70% reinforcement length to wall height ratio. Always use the same vertical spacing of geogrid throughout the wall.
What is an alternative to geogrids?
Often, woven slit-film geotextiles provide a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative to rigid polypropylene geogrids for base stabilization applications.
