Geogrids
Geosynthetic formed by a regular network of integrally connected elements with openings that allow interlocking with the surrounding soil, rock, earth and other materials to provide them with reinforcement. Composed of continuous elements joined by weaving techniques.
Fortgrid UX
Fortgrid UX geogrids are used for the reinforcement of granular layers in the construction of retaining walls in reinforced soil and steep slopes. They show long-term stability in mechanical behavior through their low plastodeformation (low creep), which represents permanence in the reinforcement function over time and control of deformations in the reinforced structure.
uniaxial geogrids Fortgrid UX They are developed to interact with soils and stone aggregates, providing high tensile strength and high deformation modulus to the structures they comprise. Geogrid fibers are made from the exclusive G5 high-tenacity polyester (PET) multifilament and are coated with a copolymer that provides greater dimensional stability and the necessary protection during installation.
Usage
Steep
slopes
Reinforced soil walls
Embankments on soft soils
__________ Advantages __________
High tensile strength: high capacity of mechanical contribution that controls the stability condition of the structures in reinforced soil.
High elastic modulus: high immediate elastic response that provides reinforcement to the soil.
High interaction with the soil: strong joints that ensure clogging and resistance to pull out.
Low creep: maintains the stability condition and controls the deformations of the structures in the long term.
Low installation damage: high joint strength, coated with a protective copolymer.
