Geocells improve the load-bearing capacity of foundations by confining and distributing the applied load more effectively. The honeycomb-like structure of geocells provides lateral support to the soil, preventing lateral soil movement and increasing the overall stability of the foundation. This confinement also increases the shear strength of the soil, reducing settlement and enhancing load distribution. Geocells, therefore, enhance the load-bearing capacity of foundations by improving soil reinforcement and reducing the potential for foundation failures.
Geocells improve the load-bearing capacity of foundations by providing a stable and reinforced structure. These cellular confinement systems, made of high-density polyethylene, are filled with compacted soil or aggregate, creating a strong and rigid foundation. This increases the overall bearing capacity of the soil, preventing soil displacement and settlement, and distributing the load more efficiently. Additionally, geocells enhance the lateral confinement of the soil, reducing lateral spreading and improving the overall stability of the foundation.
