What is the role of geocells in soft soil foundation treatment? What is the principle of this action?
It is easy to stretch, transport can be folded up, when used to open and fill the earth, or concrete material, constitute a strong lateral and large stiffness of the structure. It can be used as a cushion, handling the weakened foundation to increase the carrying capacity, can also be laid on the slope to form a slope protection structure, can also be used to build the retaining structure. Construction convenient and quick.
For highways and primary roads through collapsible loess and compressible loess loesss, or high embankment foundation to allow bearing capacity is lower than the vehicle load and embankment weight of the pressure, but also according to the bearing capacity requirements of the roadbed To deal with, then the advantages of geocell to show no doubt.
From the drainage of the consolidation effect, through the soft foundation on the grid, above the gravel layer, so that the water in the soft ground through the role of the above load, drainage of soil, and from the gravel layer in the seepage, purpose.
