Geotech method to greatly develop road .pptx

The geotechnical engineering field has been completely revolution�ized by the application of geosynthetics, starting with the simple non�woven 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 ultrasonically�welded 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 com�bination 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
