The structural system of the flexible retaining wall of the geocell is complex, and the geocell plays
a central role. The GeoGro's geocell is a geosynthetic material made of high molecular polymer sheets
through
ultrasonic welding. The reinforcement is mainly achieved through the interaction between the geocell
and the reinforcement.
The geocell's reinforcement mechanism is mainly manifested in three aspects:
1) is the interaction with the soil in the cell;
2)is the lateral restraint of the soil in the cell;
3)the net bag function of the geocell itself.
Under different foundation conditions, the leading roles of the three aspects will be
different. In the case of good foundation conditions, it plays a major role in the lateral restraint
of the soil. When the foundation condition is poor, on the weak foundation, the friction between the
geocell and the soil and the net bag effect play a major role.
Tensile reinforcement of the reinforced layer of geocells. The reinforced layer of geocells has better tensile strength. On the one hand, the tensile performance of the material itself can directly limit the lateral deformation of the wall. On the other hand, the reinforced layer effectively limits the wall through the friction of its interface. The deformation of the soil improves the shear strength of the soil and reduces the earth pressure on the wall by the filling behind the retaining wall, thereby increasing the bearing capacity and strength of the entire retaining wall structure.
