Geocells enhance the stability of cut-and-cover tunnels by providing reinforcement to the surrounding soil. These cellular confinement systems are placed within the soil, creating a strong and stable structure that prevents lateral movement and improves load-bearing capacity. The geocells confine and compact the soil, reducing the risk of settlement and soil erosion. Additionally, they distribute loads more evenly, minimizing differential settlement and potential damage to the tunnel structure.
Geocells enhance the stability of cut-and-cover tunnels by providing a reinforced structural support system. These three-dimensional cellular confinement systems, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or geosynthetic materials, create a stable foundation by confining and reinforcing the soil. This prevents lateral soil movement, improves load distribution, and increases overall stability. The geocells also enhance the tunnel's resistance to settlement, erosion, and soil lateral pressure, making them a reliable solution for enhancing the stability of cut-and-cover tunnels.
Geocells enhance the stability of cut-and-cover tunnels by providing a strong confinement system for the surrounding soil. The geocells, which are honeycomb-like structures made of high-density polyethylene, are filled with compacted soil or aggregate material. This reinforces the soil and prevents lateral movement, reducing the risk of collapse or settlement. Additionally, the geocells distribute the load more uniformly, minimizing stress concentrations and increasing the overall stability of the tunnel structure.
