Geocells improve the load-bearing capacity of bridge approaches by providing a stable and reinforced foundation. These cells, made of high-density polyethylene, are filled with compacted material such as gravel or soil, creating a strong and rigid structure. This effectively distributes the load from the bridge and reduces the stress on the soil, preventing settlement and ensuring long-term stability. Additionally, the confinement offered by geocells prevents lateral spreading of the infill material, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the bridge approaches.
Geocells improve the load-bearing capacity of bridge approaches by providing a stable and reinforced foundation. These cellular confinement systems effectively distribute and transfer the load across a wider area, reducing the stress on the soil and preventing settlement or deformation. Additionally, geocells enhance the overall stability of the bridge approach by preventing erosion, improving drainage, and mitigating the effects of heavy traffic loads.
Geocells improve the load-bearing capacity of bridge approaches by providing a stable and mechanically reinforced foundation. These three-dimensional cellular structures confine and stabilize the fill material, preventing lateral spreading and enhancing its overall strength. This confinement increases the load distribution and reduces the vertical stresses on the soil, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bridge approaches.
