Geogrid
Geogrid is a threaded mesh of a cellular structure made of strong and elastic fiberglass threads treated with a bituminous composition, the knots of which are fastened with a stitching thread.
Fiberglass strands of geogrid are made of durable rovings, due to which the material is able to provide increased wear resistance of the road structure under vertical and horizontal static and dynamic stresses. Thus, road geogrid is widely used in road design and construction as a functional structural layer for distributing loads and improving the quality of finished road surface with a significant increase in its service life.
Areas of application:
reinforcement of structures of public roads of IV-V categories;
reinforcement of asphalt concrete pavements of taxiways, parking areas as well as other auxiliary structures of airport infrastructure;
reinforcement of asphalt-concrete layers of driveways in yard areas, parking lots for vehicles.
Geogrids not only improve the quality and performance characteristics of road structures and increase the service life of main pavements but also significantly reduce the cost of installing, repairing, maintaining, and operating roads.
Therefore, the design of road construction in most European countries has been carried out for many years using geosynthetics in general and geogrids in particular.
