INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO
GEOSYNTHETIC
MATERIALS

GEOSYNTHETIC MATERIALS:

1) GEOTEXTILES

2) GEOMEMBRANES

3)GEOGRIDS

4) GEOCOMPOSITES

GEOGRIDS ARE NOTHING BUT THE OPEN
STRUCTURES FORMED BY BONDING
POLYMER STRIPS AT THEIR CROSS POINT
OR PUNCHING

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

1) FIRST USED FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION

IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1930
2) FOR EROSION CONTROL IN 1960 IN
EUROPE AS WELL AS U.S.A IN 1969
3) IN GREAT WALL OF CHINA ALSO USED
IN THE FORM OF TREE BRANCHES.

WOVEN GEOGRID:
i.MICROGRID
ii.STRATAGRID
iii.ONE WAY GEOGRID
iv.BIAXIAL GEOGRID
v.MULTILAYER GEOGRID
vi.WELDED STRIP GEOGRID

SEPRATION:

20
AS A REINFORCEMENT:

21
APPLICATIONS OF GEOGRID:

1. RETAINING WALLS
2. BRIDGE / RAILWAY ABUTMENTS
3.REINFORCED SOIL SLOPES
4. REINFORCED FOUNDATION OVER PILES
5. REINFORCED EMBANKMENTS OVER SOFT
FOUNDATION
22
 GEOGRID COMPARED WITH OTHER
SOLUTIONS

1. IT IS COST SAVING MATERIAL

2. IT INCREASES CONSTRUCTION SPEED
3. PROPER REINF OR CEMENT IS ACHIEVED
4. IMPROVED QUALITY

23
DRAW BACKS:

1. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO GEOGRID

2. IRREGULAR GEOMETRY
3. INCOMPLETE CODES AND

STANDARDISATION

24
 SITE VISIT:
CONSTRUCTION OF KRANTI CHOWK
FLYOVER in Aurangabad.

USE:

1. FOR MAKING THE LOAD TRANSFER

PLATFORM
2. FOR SEPRATION OF SOIL MASS
3. FOR RETAINING WALL

 CONCLUSION:

1. TO EFFECTIVELY SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS OF SOIL MASS

LIKE, BEARING CAPACITY, FAILURE OF SLOPES,
EROSION CONTROL, LAND SLIP REPAIR, ROADS, QUICK
CONSTRUCTION AND ALL OTHER, GEOGRID IS BETTER
SOLUTION .
2. GEOGRIDS ARE MAGIC MATERIALS TO YIELD
EXCELLENT RESULTS .
