A geogrid is a geosynthetic material used to stabilize soil. ... Compared to other geotextiles or flexible grids, Tensar TriAx Geogrids spread road loads over a wider area of subgrade, lessening the impact of heavy loads and reducing installation and maintenance costs.
What is Tensar TriAx?
Tensar TriAx Geogrid is an advanced product specifically designed for trafficked surfaces. TriAx Geogrid's multi-directional properties leverage triangular geometry, one of construction's most stable and widely utilized shapes, to provide an enhanced level of in-plane stiffness.
What is triaxial geogrid?
Triaxial geogrid is a unique type of geogrid. ... Triaxial geogrid has a stable triangular structure. Based on the stable triangle form, its multi-directional structure is an innovation. This triangular structure can provide an enhanced bearing system, which can reduce the thickness of layers.
What is Tensar geogrid made of?
Tensar Uniaxial (UX) Geogrids are manufactured from select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins that are highly oriented and are designed to resist elongation (creep) when subjected to heavy loads for long periods of time.
What is the purpose of geogrid?
Geogrid is a flexible mesh that is used to create a reinforced coherent mass behind the retaining wall by stabilizing the soil. The stability of the soil depends greatly on the friction angle it contains. The friction angle is often referred to as the shear strength of the soil.
How does TriAxial geogrid work?
What are TriAx Geogrids and how do they work? ... Geogrids have openings, called apertures, which allow aggregate to strike through and provide confinement and interlock. Geogrids can improve the long-term performance of paved and unpaved roadways by minimizing aggregate movement and maintaining modulus values.
