Why Choose our Luyuan geocell?
-
Geocell products were developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With the use of geosynthetics, the geotechnical environment has changed radically. From simple nonwovens to more complex geosynthetics. Most of these systems are two-dimensional. Honeycomb closure systems add a third dimension to geosynthetics, thus opening up more avenues of application. More avenues of application open up, from providing strength to geological systems to preventing erosion.
Geocells are designed for protection and stabilization applications. They are often used to help improve the performance of standard construction materials and erosion control treatments.
Geocell products are three-dimensional expandable panels made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyester or other polymeric materials. When expanded during installation, the interconnected strips form a flexible, three-dimensional honeycomb structure of walls in which specific fill materials are placed and compacted. This creates a free-draining system that holds the fill material in place and provides confinement through tensile enhancement to prevent mass movement. The cellular confinement system improves the structural and functional behavior of the soil and aggregate fill material.
Major geocell applications include:
Protection and stabilization of steep slope surfaces.
Protective lining of channels and hydraulic structures.
Static and dynamic load support on weak roadbed soils.
Multi-layered retaining gravity structures for water retention.
Geocells are honeycomb closure systems used as a simple and durable material for stabilization and protection. The honeycomb closure system effectively keeps the soil compacted and by doing so creates a stronger structure for the fill and pavement.
The three-dimensional honeycomb design of the lattice ensures that the geocell is strong and durable. In addition to stability, geocells provide a mattress effect and improve the elasticity of the material. The cells have a high elastic stiffness and high tensile strength, so they improve the load distribution of the product.
Due to the weight distribution produced by the cells, less rutting occurs in the surface material above. This also reduces the amount of particle filler required. The design of the cells allows for the import of fill from local sources, which also allows the use of fill from marginal soils.
Finally, the geocell improves the asphalt layer of the product, which results in a number of benefits. The first is the ability to use less asphalt, as the cells last longer than normal asphalt. Secondly, the Geocells improve the modules of the adjacent layers when vertical forces are transferred to the Geogrid through passive resistance. The ability to use Geocells greatly contributes to savings in road base and subgrade, directly impacting user maintenance and costs.
The use of geocells can have great advantages considering the following points
1. Geocells are the only prefabricated three-dimensional geosynthetics with significant third-dimensional properties.
2. They are easy to transport as flat strips welded at regular intervals, and large quantities of logistics are not a problem.
3. The filler must be basically a non-stick material, but the material can be recycled material.
4. Solutions The use of geocells as a solution to any civil engineering/geotechnical problem always proves to be cost effective, reducing and economically using valuable natural resources. This includes metals/aggregates, sand, cement, etc. For road construction, cost savings can be up to 30% and time savings can be up to 50%.
5. Geocells are easy to install and do not require skilled labor. They can be installed in any weather conditions.
6. When used for roads and sidewalks, geocells significantly reduce maintenance costs by increasing the life of the road/sidewalk.
7. Taking all of the above into account, geocells help to reduce the carbon footprint; since carbon black is a fundamental component of HDPE, geocells indirectly contribute to carbon sequestration.
