Geogrids are part of a larger group of materials known as geosynthetics. Geosynthetics are products, usually made from or including polymeric materials, which are used to solve civil and geotechnical engineering problems in or on the ground. Geosynthetics add to or enhance the functions of conventional materials to make construction more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable. In this session, we will discuss the primary types and functions of geosynthetics and then focus on geogrids. We will cover how geogrids add value to civil and geotechnical projects. You will learn which engineering applications can be improved by using geogrids and the basics of how to select and apply the proper materials and solutions.
Objectives:
- Understand the different types of geosynthetics and their functions
- Learn the primary applications of geogrids and how they work
- Recognize opportunities to add value to your projects using geogrids
