What is Soil Reinforcement?
Soil reinforcement or ground improvement is often preferred in civil engineering projects, especially when ground conditions are poor or certain engineering requirements are not met. This technique provides many advantages such as increased strength, deformation control, water control and many more. Thus, the durability of the projects increases.
Soil reinforcement is performed in cases where problems may arise that affect parking lots, highways and structures with traffic flow, and cause uncontrolled settlements on grounds with low bearing capacity.
Why is Soil Reinforcement done?
- Increasing Strength: Soil improvement is used to increase the bearing capacity of weak or low strength soils. In this way, it is especially important for the foundations of large structures.
- Deformation Control: Ground reinforcement is performed to control unwanted deformations and to increase the durability of buildings or infrastructure projects.
- Erosion and Filtration Control: Ground reinforcements made with geosynthetic materials are used to prevent erosion, control water flow and regulate filtration.
- On-Site Material Use: Reduces external material transportation and costs by optimizing the use of on-site ground.
- Structural Balance and Stability: It is applied to ensure structural balance and increase stability by increasing the strength of the ground. This is especially important in areas with slopes or low stability.
- Water Control: Controls water levels. It prevents water from damaging the floor.
- Distribution of Loads: It ensures that the loads on the structures are distributed more regularly. Thus, it reduces local weight concentrations that may occur under the ground.
How is Ground Reinforcement Done?
Geotextile and Geomat Applications:
- Geotextiles: Separates the material layers on the ground. It controls filtration and thus prevents erosion and increases the strength of the ground.
- Geomats: Controls water flow and prevents soil erosion. It helps stabilize the ground.
Geogrids:
- Increasing the strength of the ground
- Providing support to wall structures
- It regulates the distribution of loads and increases the stability of the ground.
By applying geosynthetics as strengthening and stabilization of roads
- This allows to significantly increase the carrying capacity as well as improving the security of infrastructures.
- An engineering design with geosynthetics saves money in transporting materials.
- Reduces costs and construction times. G
- Reduces carbon footprint compared to traditional construction techniques.
- Guarantees performance and lifespan according to the requirements of the project.
