INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO GEOSYNTHETIC

MATERIALS

GEOGRIDS ARE NOTHING BUT THE OPEN

STRUCTURES FORMED BY BONDING

POLYMER STRIPS AT THEIR CROSS POINT

OR PUNCHING

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

1) FIRST USED FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION

IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1930

2) FOR EROSION CONTROL IN 1960 IN

EUROPE AS WELL AS U.S.A IN 1969

3) IN GREAT WALL OF CHINA ALSO USED

IN THE FORM OF TREE BRANCHES.

3.GEOGRID PLACEMENT

4.PLACEMENT OF FILL MATERIAL

18

FUNCTIONS:

1.FLUID TRANSMISSION

19

FILTRATION:

20

SEPRATION:

AS A REINFORCEMENT:

22

APPLICATIONS OF GEOGRID:

1. RETAINING WALLS

2. BRIDGE / RAILWAY ABUTMENTS

3.REINFORCED SOIL SLOPES

4. REINFORCED FOUNDATION OVER PILES

5. REINFORCED EMBANKMENTS OVER SOFT

FOUNDATION

23

GEOGRID COMPARED WITH OTHER SOLUTIONS

1. IT IS COST SAVING MATERIAL

2. IT INCREASES CONSTRUCTION SPEED

3. PROPER REINF OR CEMENT IS ACHIEVED

4. IMPROVED QUALITY

24

DRAW BACKS:

1. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO GEOGRID

2. IRREGULAR GEOMETRY

3. INCOMPLETE CODES AND

STANDARDISATION

25

SITE VISIT:

CONSTRUCTION OF KRANTI CHOWK FLYOVER in Aurangabad.

1. FOR MAKING THE LOAD TRANSFER

PLATFORM

2. FOR SEPRATION OF SOIL MASS

3. FOR RETAINING WALL

USE:

CONCLUSION:

1. TO EFFECTIVELY SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS OF SOIL MASS

LIKE, BEARING CAPACITY, FAILURE OF SLOPES,

EROSION CONTROL, LAND SLIP REPAIR, ROADS, QUICK

CONSTRUCTION AND ALL OTHER, GEOGRID IS BETTER

SOLUTION .

2. GEOGRIDS ARE MAGIC MATERIALS TO YIELD

EXCELLENT RESULTS .
