The benefit of the geocell in terms of enhancing the bearing capacity
of lower quality material has attracted research attention and has led to
many studies. Initial research focused on understanding the influence of
multiple elements of the geocell reinforced layers, such as size, shape,
infill material type, etc. (Hegde and Sitharam, 2015 a & 2017; Sireesh
et al., 2016; Biswas et al., 2016; Ghareh, 2015; Latha et al., 2009;
Madhavi Latha and Somwanshi, 2009; Pokharel et al., 2010; Isik and
Gurbuz 2020; and Tafreshi and Dawson, 2010). In addition, extensive
large-scale testing and finite element analyses (FEA) have been per�formed involving the repeated application of loads in order to simulate
the loads imparted by traffic (Arias et al., 2020; Bortz et al., 2012;
Emersleben and Meyer 2008; Han et al., 2011; Pokharel et al., 2010;
Saride et al., 2017; Sharma et al., 2016; Tanyu et al., 2013; Yang et al.,
2012; and Zhang et al., 2010)

3. Geotech The geotechnical engineering field has been completely revolutionized by the application of geosynthetics, starting with the simple nonwoven forms and continuing on to the more complex geo-composites. While most geosynthetic systems are two-dimensional, the geocell confinement system adds the third dimension and, thus, opens up more avenues of application. Thus, the geocell system has been used in various applications ranging from enhancing the load-carrying capacity of highway, building, and railway foundations to providing gravity walls for earth retention and protection against erosion. Geocells are strong, lightweight, three-dimensional ultrasonicallywelded strips of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or nano polymeric alloy (NPA) that are expandable on site to form a honeycomb-like structure. In the same manner that wax cells securely store bees’ honey, the geocell can retain soil infill materials. Under load, the combination of geocell and infill material functions to minimize the transfer of load to the lower layers. Since the geocell layer derives strength from both the geocell and infill material, a lower-quality, local material can be used for the design, thus reducing the
