What are the characteristics of plastic geocells?
-
Plastic Geocells are cellular confinement systems created as a simple and durable material for stabilization and protection. The honeycomb restriction 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. This format creates a structure with improved load distribution.
The Geocells are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are used to stabilize weak or unstable soils. This ability is due to their ability to reduce the lateral movement of soil particles when loaded vertically with the contained fill.
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 required particle filling. The design of the cell allows for local import of the filler, which also allows for filling with edge soil.
Geocell material can be used as a bedding layer to treat weak foundations and increase the bearing capacity of the foundation. In slope stabilization projects, it can reduce soil erosion or protect against soil erosion.
Used in slope protection construction, due to the three-dimensional structure of the material, it can play a good role in enhancing the reinforcement effect, which is better through the friction between the fill and the compartment material, just like the force between the geogrid and the fill. And the material itself is soft and stretchable, which is also more convenient in construction and transportation!
What are the characteristics of the use of geocells?
1. It can disperse the concentrated load in a certain area and greatly improve the load capacity of soft foundation.
2. The filler can be taken on the spot to reduce the project cost;
3. Corrosion and aging resistance, wide range of temperature adaptation.
What to pay attention to when using geocells:
1. The storage of geocells should first of all need to pay attention to be away from fire sources, because the Chinese plastic material aspect has combustibility; therefore should be away from private cars, battery cars and Chinese motorcycles, strictly prevent the battery car battery explosion problems caused by social fire;
3. should also be away from dusty areas, the north windy, dusty, dusty soil is also a major note of geogrid storage, because Luyuan production of geogrid mesh uniform and beautiful, mesh overall black shiny, after the dust cover the product, can not achieve the impression of beautiful effect will be greatly reduced, which will also affect the price of geocells
