Retaining Wall Reinforcement Grid

The first cylinder is just compacted material.
Retaining wall reinforcement grid. Both wall systems are comprised of dry cast concrete keystone compac modular units and ntpep evaluated tencate miragrid xt polyester geogrid soil reinforcement by tencate geosynthetics. Properly designed versa lok walls with versa grid soil reinforcement can be constructed to heights of 50 feet or more. The geogrid holds the soil in place to allow the retaining wall to function. Installed in layers between wall courses and extending into the soil behind a wall geogrid stabilizes the soil and so extends the retaining capacity of the wall.
Geogrid is an open mesh grid structure that is placed in horizontal layers to reinforce retaining walls. The geogrid acts as a tie back to resist the outward movement of the retained soil. Adding geogrid to a retaining wall recruits the retained soils as helpers in retention essentially making the retaining wall far more massive than the weight of the block or stone alone. Used along with any type of block or wall facade and gravel fill to construct retaining walls.
When grid is needed depends on the wall building material but also the soils being retained. Rolls and is 50 ft. Geogrid is a geosynthetic material commonly made of one or more polymers that is used to reinforce soil behind retaining walls. Engineered for durability and long life versa grid geogrid soil reinforcement is a high performance soil reinforcement composed of high molecular weight woven polyester yarns with a polymeric coating.
Use the soil reinforcement chart to determine the size of ab grid you will need and how many layers your retaining wall requires. Uniaxial retaining wall geogrid is an engineered product use to provide necessary structural stability and reinforcement of residential and commercial. When is geogrid needed in a retaining wall. It is available in 3 ft.
Quick and easy installation. The sand castle test takes two cylinders of soil and applies vertical force to see how the soil performs. Easy to handle lighter and more rigid than fabric alternatives. Long 0 9 m and 1 2 m by 15 m and is best used for residential retaining walls under 6 ft.
