Uniaxial Plastic Geogrid
Uniaxial Plastic Geogrid is used in the construction of roads, highways, railways and slopes for ground stabilization. It has high resistance to installation damage, chemical and biological degradation and offers good flexural rigidity.
It also provides an efficient stress transmission mechanism to distribute loads throughout the soil. It is ideal for slope reinforcement, walls and foundations.
High Tensile Strength
Uniaxial plastic geogrid is an important construction material used to reinforce soil. It helps stabilize unstable soil and prevent it from moving laterally during construction projects. It also increases the bearing capacity of roadbeds and foundations. These benefits make it an essential material for constructing roads, railways, and other large infrastructure projects.
Generally, geogrids are made from polymers, such as high-density and low-creep plastics like HDPE and PP. These materials are able Uniaxial Plastic Geogrid to withstand stress and pressure. In addition, uniaxial geogrids are able to resist damage from various factors such as erosion and weather.
Another advantage of this type of material is that it can be recycled and reused for other purposes. This is particularly useful for road construction, where it can help reduce waste and environmental hazards. In addition, it is a cost-effective solution.
Carthage Mills SRW geogrids are manufactured from high-tenacity polyester (PET). These products have an Ultimate Tensile Strength of up to 29,750 lbs/ft. These high-strength polymer geogrids are ideal for use in applications that require reinforcement in heavy-duty soil conditions. The products are available in a range of sizes to meet different application needs. They have a long track record of success in soil reinforcement. These geogrids are suitable for highways, railways, and sloping applications. They also offer a high level of resistance to chemical and biological degradation, and they can be used in a variety of soil types.
High Durability
Uniaxial plastic geogrid is a kind of polymer mesh and netting-based geosynthetics which can effectively stabilize soil structures. It is widely used in the roadbed and pavement improvement, railway construction, slops protection projects as well as retaining wall reinforcement. It helps to largely increase the bearing capacity of foundation and greatly prolongs the service life of highways, railways and slopes. It also reduces aggregate fill thickness and improves ground drainage.
Unlike biaxial and triaxial geogrids, uniaxial plastic geogrids feature a one-way stretch structure with long openings or apertures. It is a unique technology developed to help balance granular fills and allow the flow of water. This product is characterized by its high tensile strength and excellent flexural stiffness. It is also durable, and can withstand the high tensile load and resist damage from the traffic, heavy loads, chemical and biological degradation.
Tensar UX Geogrids can withstand high tensile loads applied in the longitudinal direction (along the roll length). The open aperture structure interlocks with fill material to provide superior load transfer HDPE Dimple Geomembrane from the geogrid and the soil. It can also be easily welded or cut to the required size based on engineering plans.
HG Fencing has 40 sets of advanced production lines for plastic mesh and geogrid. Our products have reached international advanced level and have been exported to more than 36 countries.
High Resistance to Corrosion
The corrosion resistance of plastic geogrid is better than that of metal mesh. It has a polyethylene outer layer that encases the rigid steel wire, which prevents it from corroding. In addition, it has good resistance to acid and alkali. It is a very useful construction material, because it can help improve the bearing capacity of foundations and prevent soil displacement. This product is also used to reduce floor space and increase the construction period, and it can greatly save costs.
The room temperature tensile test is an important test to evaluate the performance of POMG. The elongation at break and multi-axial average tensile strength can be determined by this method. The tensile strength is determined by the number of ribs and their cross-sectional shape. During the tensile test, it is important to ensure that the node part is clamped at both ends of the sample. The elongation at break and tensile strength are calculated by dividing the tensile strength by the elongation of the sample.
The performance-optimized multi-axial geogrid with different pre-punched holes is made from industrial polypropylene sheet. It is stretched at high temperatures and then drawn longitudinally and transversely. The resulting POMG has circular-circular pre-punched holes with different sizes and configurations. The POMG has the following characteristics: high tensile strength, low porosity, high node peeling force, and good network-bearing capacity.
Easy Installation
Uniaxial plastic geogrid can be installed in construction projects in a number of ways depending on the project requirements. This particular type of geosynthetic has an ideal structure for soil reinforcement and stabilization. It is also highly effective in preventing ground displacement, which helps prolong the lifespan of roads and other infrastructure.
For example, if a driveway or other paver project is being undertaken, the installation of uniaxial plastic geogrid can help to prevent rutting and ensure that your hardscape project will last for years. This is because the geogrid will help to distribute a heavy load over a wider area, which can reduce the impact on any single point, and thus prevent the surface from becoming damaged.
It can also be used in retaining walls to help increase the strength of the wall, and prevent movement over time. It can be laid under a concrete slab to prevent settlement, or even over existing gravel surfaces to protect them from heavy loads. This is a great way to add longevity to any new build, and to help your clients understand the importance of using high-quality materials for their hardscape project.
When installing geogrid, it is recommended that any woody plant vegetation e.g. grass and reeds is removed first, and that all voids or wheel ruts are either filled or levelled. The geogrid should then be laid on the ground and any fill placed over it should be end tipped at the start of the geogrid, or in a minimum of 150mm over it. The ribs will then interlock with the cover soil material, providing confinement and an efficient stress transmission mechanism.
