2020-12-31
Chongqing Yuzhong District Bidirectional Plastic Geogrid Its appearance resembles a nearly square network structure, made primarily from polypropylene. This high-strength geosynthetic material is produced through extrusion, followed by longitudinal and transverse stretching. The material exhibits exceptional tensile strength in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, making it widely used for reinforcing soft ground foundations.

Chongqing Yuzhong District Bidirectional Plastic Geogrid The main applications of the product are: Chongqing Yuzhong District Bidirectional Plastic Geogrid Suitable for reinforcing various types of embankments and roadbeds, protecting slopes, strengthening tunnel linings, and providing durable foundation support for large-scale infrastructure such as major airports, parking lots, and port cargo terminals.
Today, ZHONGTAI HENGBANG will explain it for everyone. Chongqing Yuzhong District Bidirectional Plastic Geogrid What are the key points for construction?
(1) First, accurately mark the embankment slope lines. To ensure the required embankment width, add an extra 0.5 meters on each side. After leveling the dried-out subgrade soil, compact it twice using a 25-ton vibratory roller in static mode, followed by four passes of compaction with a 50-ton vibratory roller. Any uneven areas should be manually leveled to achieve a smooth surface.
(2) Lay a 0.3-meter-thick layer of medium (or coarse) sand, then manually and mechanically level it thoroughly. Afterward, compact the surface twice using a 25-ton vibratory roller in static mode.
(3) Lay the geogrids, ensuring that the bottom surface remains smooth and compact during installation. Generally, the geogrids should be spread out flat, pulled taut, and laid without overlapping, curling, or twisting. The adjacent sheets must be lapped by 0.2 meters, with #8 wire threaded through every 1 meter along the transverse direction of the subgrade at the overlap points. Additionally, secure each laid geogrid to the ground at intervals of 1.5 to 2 meters using U-shaped nails.
(4) After the first layer of geogrid is laid, proceed to backfill with a 0.2-meter-thick layer of medium (coarse) sand. The method is as follows: Transport the sand to the site by truck and dump it on one side of the subgrade. Then, use a bulldozer to push the material forward. First, compact the area within 2 meters on both sides of the subgrade to a depth of 0.1 meter. Next, fold up the edges of the previously laid geogrid and continue backfilling with another 0.1 meter of medium (coarse) sand. **Important Notes:** - Avoid filling or pushing the sand inward from the sides toward the center. - Prohibit any machinery from operating directly on the geogrid before it’s fully covered with medium (coarse) sand. This approach ensures the geogrid remains flat, preventing bulging or wrinkling. Once the second layer of medium (coarse) sand is evenly spread and leveled, perform a precise horizontal survey to confirm uniformity in the fill thickness. Finally, once the leveling is verified, roll the surface twice using a 25-ton vibratory roller in static mode to achieve optimal compaction.
(5) The construction method for the second layer of geogrid is identical to that of the first layer. Finally, backfill 0.3 meters of medium (or coarse) sand using the same method as the first layer. After two passes of static compaction with a 25-ton roller, the subgrade reinforcement at the base will be fully completed.
(6) After the coarse sand has been properly compacted in the third layer, lay two layers of geogrids along the longitudinal direction of the slope, one on each side. Ensure an overlap of 0.16 meters and securely join them using the same method. Then, proceed with earthwork operations by installing the geogrids for slope protection. Importantly, measure the exact placement lines for each layer, ensuring that after final slope trimming, the geogrids are embedded at least 0.10 meters into the slope on both sides.
(7) For each two layers of soil compacted—equivalent to a thickness of 0.8 meters—a layer of geogrid must be simultaneously placed on both sides of the slope. This process is repeated until the geogrid reaches just below the shoulder surface.
(8) After the subgrade filling is completed, promptly carry out slope trimming and install dry-stacked stone protection at the toe of the slope. In addition to widening each side by 0.3 meters, this section of subgrade also includes a reserved settlement allowance of 1.5 percent.
