GEO GRID: Geo grid is a Geo synthetic material used to reinforced soils and similar material. It is a Geo synthetic  material made from polymer such as polypropylene, polyethylene or polyester and are used widely in civil engineering applications to provide tensile reinforcement for soil.




FUNCTIONS: Some of the functions of Geo grids are listed below

  1. Geo grid gives stress strain characteristic of high density polyethylene grid.
  2. In general, it points of design and construction of Geo synthetics.
  3. It stabilize the soils mass.
  4. Much higher load can be carried by the soil structure.
  5. Create a composite soil mass of increased strength.
  6. Increase bearing capacity of foundation.               
APPLICATION: Some of the application of Geo grid are listed below
  1. It is used in construction of retaining wall.
  2. It is used in slope stabilization.
  3. It is used in unpaved road and foundation practice.
  4. Sometimes they are also used in aircraft landing mat.
