 Geogrids are geosynthetics formed by a
regular network of integrally connected
elements with apertures greater than
1/4" to allow interlocking with
surrounding soil, rock, earth and other
surrounding materials to function
primarily as reinforcement
 Unidirectional Geogrid
Having a great tensile strength in one
direction(longitudinal or transversal) than in
the other direction.
*Use : As reinforcement of walls and slopes.
*Characteristic :
Good creep performance
with low strain
and high strength.....
 Bidirectional Geogrid
Use :
-highways and rail roads
*Characteristic :
-reduce the subsiding
difference of the roadbed
and bridgehead,
-lower the vibration
of the vehicles
and the roadbed
 Fiberglass Geogrid
Characteristic :
-high tensile strength
-low stretch rate
*Uses :
-highway pavement
reinforcement
 Sell Fiberglass Geogrid

*Characteristic :
-high tensile strength
-high elastic modulus
-Anti-alkali, corrosion
and aging resistant
 Plastic Geogrid

Characteristic :
-made of high polymer
-higher longitudinal
transverse strength
 Self adhesive Fiberglass Geogrid
*Uses :
-Maintenance,
reconstruction and
widening of
old road surface.
 Polyester Geogrid
*Characteristic :
-high tensile strength
*Uses :
-retaining wall
-repairing landslides
-industrial area
 Reinforced Fibreglass Mesh
*Characteristic :
-reinforced by alkali
coating
*Uses :
-high alkali-resistance
-good cohesion
  Warp-knitted Geogrid
*Characteristic :
-knitted through warp
directional structure

-high tensile strength

-anti-tear
 Pre-cut the geogrids, shape the steel mesh
formworks and prepare both the hooked
bars. After the leveling and compaction of
the foundation soil, place and line up the
formworks connecting each other by mean
of a steel or plastic wire. Steel mesh shall
be minimum  8.00 mm, 200 x 200 mm.
 Place the geogrids in horizontal layers
perpendicular to the face and along the
internal face of the steel formworks, anchor
the grids to the soil by means of “U” shaped
staples and temporarily leave the last
portion of the grids outside the formworks.
The last portion of the grid shall correspond
to the total wrapping length (about 1.5 m).
Place the hooked bars to fix the formworks.
 Place suitable thickness of soil on the geogrids
& compact it until reaching a compaction
effort not lower than 90% of Standard Proctor.
Compaction of fill material about 1.00 m close
to the face shall be carried out using light
hand-held compactors, like plate vibrating
compactors, while the other part of the
reinforced block may be compacted with
heavy rollers.
 Repeat phase 3 to reach the required geogrid
spacing. Wrap the final portion of the grids,
previously kept outside the formworks, toward
the inner slope & slightly stretch it and anchor
it to the soil by means of “U” shaped staples .
 Repeat the phases 1 - 4 until completion of
the work.
 USE OF GEOGRIDS :
 Retaining Walls

 Steepened Slopes

 Embankment Over Soft Soils

 Veneer Stability in Landfills

 Void Bridging

 Pavement Reinforcement

 A typical modern landfill is lined with a layer of
compacted clay and synthetic geomembrane
to prevent the waste and leakage from leaking
into the ground or ground water.

 Geocomposites drains and aggregate material

are used at the sides and bottom of the landfill
to collect the leakage that flows through the
decomposing waste.
