Fiberglass geogrid for road stabilization is a mesh structure material made of fiberglass and a certain weaving process. In order to protect the fiberglass and improve the overall performance, it is made by a special coating process. In road engineering, the fiberglass geogrid is a good reinforcement material. The fiberglass geogrid for road stabilization has the following characteristics.
- High temperature and low temperature performance. The fiberglass geogrid can maintain good mechanical and physical properties at -100 ℃～280 ℃.
- High tensile strength, low elongation. The fiberglass geogrid for road stabilization uses glass fiber as the raw material, its strength exceeds other fibers and metals, and at the same time has high modulus performance, strong resistance to deformation, and the elongation at break is less than 4%.
- Strong creep resistance. As a reinforcementmaterial, the fiberglass geogrid has strong creep resistance under long-term load.
- Compatibility with asphalt mixture. The organic material coated by the fiberglass geogrid has a high compatibility with the asphalt mixture, ensuring a firm combination of the two in use.
- Inlay lock and restriction function. The fiberglass geogridfor road stabilization is a net-like structure, through which asphalt mixture aggregates form a composite mechanical interlocking system, which effectively hinders the movement of aggregates, increases the bearing capacity, and reduces deformation.
The subgrade is one of the most important structures in the highway system. Under the action of the variable stress of the transportation tool, the local area of the subgrade is subjected to greater stress and strain. After a long period of time, settlement, displacement, and cracking will occur. This leads to irregular curvature changes of the road surface and occurrence of diseases. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen the roadbed. The use of specially treated fiberglass geogrid can effectively enhance the overall strength of the roadbed. Its main functions in the roadbed are as followed.
- Reduce the amount of fill settlement during the stabilization period and save earth and stone.
- Enhance the strength of the roadbed and increase the bearing capacity of the roadbed.
- Improve the stability of the roadbed.
- Effectively absorb the energy transmitted by vibration and improve the seismic resistance of the roadbed.
Fiberglass geogrid for road stabilization is a new type of geotechnical material, which can be effectively integrated with the mixture in the surface layer, improve the integrity of the surface layer, inhibit the flow of the mixture, delay cracks, and prevent rutting; using in the base layer can strengthen the roadbed Strength and stability, prevent uneven settlement, restrain reflection cracks; In addition, it can reduce the maintenance cost of road engineering, prolong the service life, and has good promotion and application value. Therefore, it has been widely used in Indonesian highway construction projects in recent years.
