Definition and characteristics of geocells
The geocell is a three-dimensional mesh cell structure formed by high-strength welding of reinforced HDPE sheet material. This structure has the characteristics of free expansion and contraction, and can be retracted and stacked for transportation, and only needs to be stretched into a network and filled with loose materials such as soil, gravel, and concrete during construction to form a structure with strong lateral restriction and stiffness. The material of the geocell is light, wear-resistant, chemically stable, photo-oxidative aging, acid and alkali resistant, which can be applied to different soil conditions, and can play a higher lateral limit and anti-slip, anti-deformation, and effectively enhance the bearing capacity of the roadbed and disperse the load.
Application of geocell
Geocells are widely used in the construction of low roadbeds and the professional requirements of heavy loads. It can play a side-limiting role on loose fillers, ensuring that the roadbed has high stiffness and strength in a limited height to withstand the load stresses of large vehicles. In addition, the geocell can also be used in the backing of the roadbed filling and other projects, playing a role in reinforcement and stability.
Advantages of geocells:
Geocells have a number of advantages. First of all, its material is light, wear-resistant, chemically stable, photo-oxidative aging, acid and alkali resistant, and can be applied to different soil and desert and other geological conditions. Secondly, its lateral restriction and anti-slip and anti-deformation ability are strong, which can effectively enhance the bearing capacity and dispersed load of the roadbed. These advantages make geocells widely used in civil engineering.
