An innovative solution for stabilizing soft ground?
Thanks to its unique honeycomb-like structure, GEOMAXXⓇ provides effective soil stabilization, which translates into significant improvements in the durability and load-bearing capacity of roads. Numerous analyses, including large-scale model tests and in-situ operational studies, unequivocally confirm its effectiveness.
The results of the research, which was presented at the conference EuroGeo4, showed that the use of cellular geonets can increase the bearing capacity of backfill materials by up to three times compared to unreinforced soil. In addition, vertical stresses on the ground can drop by about 30%, which significantly minimizes the risk of settlement and deformation of the pavement. What else is worth knowing about cellular geogrid and why should you consider using it in your construction project?
Learn about the 5 most important advantages of cellular geonets
The construction of roads in areas with soft, unstable ground is a challenge that investors and engineers very often face. Traditional methods of soil stabilization are sometimes insufficient, leading to problems such as pavement settlement, the formation of ruts or cracks. (Not to mention costly repairs that everyone would prefer to avoid). Cellular geo-grid is the answer to the above challenges. It is no surprise that it is gaining such high recognition in the industry. The main advantages of this solution are:
- Increase in bearing capacity of the ground.
The use of cellular geo-grid in the sub-base layer significantly increases the bearing capacity of the soil. Studies have shown that the bearing capacity of backfill materials increases by up to three times compared to unreinforced soil. As a result, roads built with geo-grid are more resistant to the loads caused by vehicle traffic, which reduces the risk of ruts and cracks.
- Reduction of vertical stresses.
Cellular geonet effectively distributes vertical loads over a larger area of the subgrade, leading to a reduction in stresses on the subgrade layer. Studies have shown that vertical stresses can drop by as much as 30%, and this directly contributes to the longer life of the road structure.
- Less pavement deflection.
Thanks to the cellular geo-grid, pavement deflections are significantly reduced. The result? Higher driving comfort and lower road maintenance costs. Pavements reinforced with cellular geo-grid are more stable, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
- Material and cost savings.
The big savings are not only the elimination of costly road repairs. Cellular geo-grid makes it possible to reduce the amount of aggregate needed for road construction at the very beginning of the project, which translates into lower material costs.
- Increasing the modulus of elasticity
This solution raises the moduli of elasticity, which translates into greater rigidity and stability of the structure, and thus greater resistance to loads.
Cellular geonet - effectiveness confirmed by numerous studies
Operational tests conducted during the reconstruction of roads K-23 and K-637 provided practical evidence of the effectiveness of cellular geonets. On the K-23 road, after the application of geonet in the substructure, traffic simulations showed that vertical stresses on the subgrade decreased by about 30% compared to areas without geonet. On the K-637 road, on the other hand, the use of geo-grid raised the elastic moduli of the substructure layer, which translated into lower pavement deflections and longer road life.
