Reincement Polyfabrics Gravel Driveway Geogrid

In this workshop, the current design practice and the recent developments for the use of geogrids

in stabilization and base reinforcement applications will be reviewed. Both empirical and M-E

design approaches will be presented. The development of a design method within the framework

of the mechanistic-empirical design method will address. The implications of these design

approaches in relation to long-term pavement performance will be discussed. The life cycle cost

benefit for each of these applications will be examined.

Geogrids are made from synthetic polymers, and of these, polypropylene, polyester, and

polyethylene are by far the most common. These polymers are normally highly resistant to

biological and chemical degradation. Less-frequently-used polymers include fiber glass for

the grid structure. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is also used for coating some geogrids. Natural

fibers such as cotton, jute, etc., could also be used to make materials that are similar to

geogrids. Because these products are biodegradable, they are only for temporary

applications. Natural fiber geogrid type materials have not been widely utilized in the U.S.  ,EU ,China etc Areas
