Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid In the engineering project, the reconstruction of the highway subgrade primarily utilizes steel-plastic geogrids. These are high-strength strips made by wrapping high-density polyethylene around high-tensile steel wires, arranged in a grid pattern with warp and weft intersecting at right angles. The geosynthetic material is then formed through ultrasonic welding. Depending on project requirements, the tensile strength of the reinforcement strips can be adjusted by varying the mesh aperture diameter and the number of steel wire strands used.

Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid Often used for subgrade reinforcement in road construction, it is also suitable for asphalt concrete pavement work. The specific construction requirements are as follows:
1. Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid Generally used when the fill height exceeds 4 meters in soft ground treatment projects.
2. Use this method during soft ground treatment when the embankment height is between 3 and 4 meters, or at the junctions between road and bridge structures, to prevent uneven settlement.
3. Widening the existing road to prevent longitudinal cracks by applying a new pavement layer at the joint between the old and new roadbeds.
4. Treatment of soft ground in low-fill, shallow-excavation sections and embankments with fill heights under 2 meters; reinforcement of subgrades in problematic areas.
5. Reinforce the roadbed to prevent cracking
Meanwhile, Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid It can also be applied to protective and crack-prevention work on various types of road surfaces:
1. Existing asphalt concrete pavement with reinforced asphalt overlay to prevent and control distresses.
2. Convert the cement concrete pavement into a composite pavement to prevent reflective cracks caused by slab shrinkage and other factors.
3. Road widening and reconstruction project to prevent cracking caused by junctions between old and new sections and uneven settlement.
4. Reinforcement treatment of soft soil foundations promotes water drainage and consolidation in the soft soil, effectively controlling settlement, ensuring uniform stress distribution, and enhancing the overall strength of the roadbed.
5. New roads with semi-rigid bases develop shrinkage cracks, which are reinforced to prevent pavement cracking caused by the reflection of these base-level cracks.
Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid It has the following characteristics:
1) Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid The tensile force is borne by high-strength steel wires woven in a warp-and-weft pattern, generating an exceptionally high tensile modulus under low-strain conditions. The longitudinal and transverse ribs work synergistically, fully leveraging the grid's interlocking effect on the soil mass.
2) Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid The steel wires are woven into a mesh using both longitudinal and transverse ribs, with the outer wrapping layer formed in one seamless process. This design allows the steel wires and the outer layer to work together harmoniously, resulting in an extremely low failure elongation—no more than 3%. The primary load-bearing element of the steel-plastic composite geogrid is the steel wire itself, ensuring minimal creep deformation over time.
3) By treating the plastic surface during the manufacturing process and pressing in a textured pattern, the roughness of the grating surface is enhanced, thereby increasing the friction coefficient between the Xinjiang Shihezi steel-plastic geogrid and the soil.
4) Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid Its width can reach up to 6 meters, delivering a highly efficient and cost-effective reinforcement effect.
5) Xinjiang Shihezi Steel-Plastic Geogrid The high-density polyethylene used ensures that the material remains unaffected by acidic, alkaline, or saline solutions, as well as oils, at room temperature—and it won’t be compromised by water dissolution or microbial attack. Additionally, the polymer properties of polyethylene provide robust resistance against aging caused by ultraviolet radiation. When subjected to stress, the grid’s interwoven ribs work together seamlessly, preventing cracks or damage at the connection points.
