Retaining Wall Reinforcement Grid

Quick and easy installation.
Retaining wall reinforcement grid. Uniaxial retaining wall geogrid is an engineered product use to provide necessary structural stability and reinforcement of residential and commercial. If you consider a simple gravity retaining wall the forces from the soil being retained must be retained by the mass of the wall blocks. The sand castle test takes two cylinders of soil and applies vertical force to see how the soil performs. When is geogrid needed in a retaining wall.
When grid is needed depends on the wall building material but also the soils being retained. 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. The first cylinder is just compacted material. Rolls and is 50 ft.
The patented keystone compac a leading commercial retaining wall product features an open core design and a pin connection system. Retaining wall with reinforced soil cross section. Used along with any type of block or wall facade and gravel fill to construct retaining walls. Properly designed versa lok walls with versa grid soil reinforcement can be constructed to heights of 50 feet or more.
Ab reinforcement grid is biaxial which means it has the same strength in both directions and can be simply rolled out along the wall. Use the soil reinforcement chart to determine the size of ab grid you will need and how many layers your retaining wall requires. It is available in 3 ft. 1 8 m tall as outlined in the table above.
The geogrid acts as a tie back to resist the outward movement of the retained soil. Easy to handle lighter and more rigid than fabric alternatives. The geogrid holds the soil in place to allow the retaining wall to function. 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.
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. When you use geogrid with a retaining wall the mass of the blocks and the additional mass of the reinforced soil helps to withstand the pressures behind the wall. Also taller walls need more layers of geogrid and stronger geogrids to internally hold the reinforced soil mass together and to properly connect to the versa lok units.
