The Comparison of Geocell and Geogrid

What is the Geocell?

                   Geocell for Slope and Shoreline Protection

Geocell is a new type of geosynthetic material that is currently more popular. It is a three-dimensional mesh cell structure formed by welding reinforced HDPE sheet material. It has the characteristics of light material, abrasion resistance, stable chemical properties, resistance to photo-oxidation, acid and alkali resistance. In the application process, it can expand and contract freely; in transportation, it can be folded and folded; during construction, it can be stretched into a net shape, filled with loose materials such as soil, gravel, and concrete to form a structure with large rigidity.

Because of its high anti-skid, anti-deformation, effective enhancement of the bearing capacity of the roadbed and the effect of dispersing the load, it can be used in many fields. Applicable fields include: cushions, stable railway roadbeds, stable road soft foundation treatment, pipeline and sewer support structures, mixed retaining walls to prevent landslides and loaded gravity, deserts, beaches and river beds, river banks, etc.

What is the Geogrid?

                                        Steel Plastic Geogrid

Geogrid is a two-dimensional grid or a three-dimensional grid with a certain height made of polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and other high molecular polymers through thermoplastic or molding. It has the characteristics of high strength, strong bearing capacity, small deformation, small creep, corrosion resistance, large friction coefficient, long life, convenient and fast construction, short cycle, and low cost. It is widely used in the fields of soft soil foundation reinforcement of highways, railways, bridge abutments, approach roads, wharves, dams, slag yards, retaining walls and road cracking projects.

The Common Ground of the Geocell and Geogrid

Raw Materials

They are all polymer composite materials.

Features

They all have the characteristics of high strength, strong bearing capacity, small deformation, small creep, corrosion resistance, large friction coefficient, long life, and convenient and quick construction.

Application

They are all used in areas such as roads, railways, bridge abutments, approach roads, docks, dams, slag yards and other soft soil foundation reinforcement, retaining walls and pavement crack resistance projects.

The Differences Between the Geocell and Geogrid

1. Shape and structure:

  The geocell is a three-dimensional mesh cell structure, and the geogrid is a two-dimensional grid or a three-dimensional grid screen structure with a certain height.

  2. Lateral restriction and stiffness: 

  Geocell is better than geogrid.

  3. Bearing capacity and dispersing load effect:

  Geocell is better than geogrid.

  4. Anti-skid and anti-deformation ability: 

  Geocell is better than geogrid.
