Geocells improve the performance of embankment dams by providing increased stability, erosion control, and load distribution. These three factors are crucial for the longevity and safety of embankment dams. Geocells act as a confinement system, preventing soil displacement and promoting compaction, which enhances the stability of the dam structure. Additionally, the interconnected cells of geocells prevent erosion by reducing water flow velocity and trapping sediment. Lastly, geocells distribute loads more uniformly, reducing stress concentrations and enhancing the overall performance and resilience of embankment dams.
Geocells improve the performance of embankment dams by providing increased stability, erosion control, and enhanced load distribution. These cellular confinement systems reinforce the soil structure, preventing lateral spreading and reducing the risk of slope failure. Additionally, geocells help to control water flow, reducing soil erosion and improving the overall durability of the dam. The interconnected cells distribute loads more evenly, minimizing differential settlement and increasing the overall strength and longevity of the embankment dam.
