Geogrid Installation Damage Test
https://geomatrix.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/web/8ce9f707-7024-47c0-b731-18b761626b7c.mp4 TECHNICAL APPROACH Employ an appropriate procedure to simulate installation damage to geosynthetics used in asphalt reinforcement, which allows evaluation of the Retained Strength after installation damage. PROCEDURE (INSTALLATION DAMAGE) On each demarcated area, 364 grams of CRR1 asphalt emulsion (400 g/m²) were conveniently placed and spread. After…

REINFORCEMENT OF ASPHALT LAYERS WITH GEOMEGRIDS Widening a road with geogrids: When there is a widening joint on a road, the asphalt mixture layer is susceptible to cracking due to differences in stiffness or compressibility of the subgrade. The installation of a FORTGRID ASPHALT geogrid between the old asphalt layer and the new asphalt layer…

REINFORCEMENT OF ASPHALT BINDERS WITH GEOMEGRIDS The ASTM defines geogrids as a geosynthetic formed by a regular network of integrally connected elements with openings greater than 6.35 mm (1⁄4 in.) to allow interlocking with the surrounding soil, rock, earth or other materials giving them reinforcement. Geogrids for asphalt layers are a group…

MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION ASPHALT FOLDER WITH GEOMIDS Most common failures of flexible pavements to be solved with geogrids A flexible pavement is a structure with a wearing layer in asphalt concrete, which is characterized by its ability to deform or flex under applied loads, instead of being rigid and non-deformable. These pavements are commonly…

SUBDRAINAGE SYSTEM WITH GEODRAINS Problems with water flow in pavement structures: The flow of subsurface water generally threatens the useful life of pavement structures, affecting them in various ways. Precipitation that flows superficially on the slopes can accumulate and infiltrate the ground, producing its saturation,…

Geocells for reinforcement Challenges in the construction of parking lots: The construction with geocells to reinforce parking lots for residential complexes, shopping centers, hospitals, sports centers, etc., can present a defined slope due to the levels of platforms and public service networks. That is why the pavement structure does not meet the requirements...

Geotextile mitigation works In torrential events, the phenomenon of lateral erosion can occur on the banks of the rivers, causing the detachment and dragging of the material that generates overflow of the tributary, affecting the crops and properties surrounding the area. To have control, it is necessary to implement mitigation works with geotextiles...
