ForTex Uni-Axial Geogrid is woven type geogrid having significantly higher tensile stress in one direction as compared to the tensile stress in the opposite direction.
Product Description
ForTex Uni-Axial Geogrid is high strength geogrid specifically developed for uni-axial requirements in various civil engineering applications. Such geogrids are produced by the method of weaving polyester yarns in rectangular shape and coating them with polymer material.
Fields of Application and Use
ForTex Uni-Axial Geogrid is used in the applications such as retaining structure systems (GeoArme) equipped by slope stabilization requiring strength in one direction.
Reinforced retaining structure systems (GeoArme Retaining Structure Systems) which offer fast and cost-effective application possibilities, secure seismic behavior, flexible structure, resistant to subsidence and aesthetic appearance are generally used in the following areas:
■ Expansion of divided roads
■ Approach walls of crossover roads
■ Narrow expropriation areas
■ Works executed to save space
■ Bridge-edge foot walls
■ Bridge elevation walls
■ Park and garden walls
■ Elevating seawalls
■ Rock fall or sound barrier.
