Fiberglass geocell is a three – dimensional net – shaped or honeycomb – like structural material made mainly from fiberglass through special processing techniques. It is usually made by weaving or bonding high – strength fiberglass bundles, and the nodes are connected to form individual cells, which look like honeycombs or grids.

Characteristics
High Strength and High Modulus: Fiberglass has high tensile strength and elastic modulus, which enables fiberglass geocells to withstand large tensile forces and external forces. In engineering, it can effectively improve the bearing capacity and stability of soil.
Strong Corrosion Resistance: Fiberglass itself has good resistance to corrosion by chemical substances such as acids, alkalis and salts. It can maintain stable performance under different geological and environmental conditions, is not easily damaged by chemical erosion, and has a long service life.
Good Anti - aging Performance: It has strong resistance to ultraviolet rays and climate change. Even when exposed to the natural environment for a long time, its physical and mechanical properties will not decrease significantly, and it can play a reinforcement and protection role for a long time.
Excellent High Temperature Resistance: It has a high melting point and good thermal stability. It can maintain structural integrity and stable performance in a certain high - temperature environment, and is suitable for some engineering environments with temperature requirements.
Good Water Permeability and Filterability: The cell structure not only ensures a certain degree of water permeability to allow water to pass through smoothly, but also acts as a filter to prevent soil particles from being washed away by water flow, effectively ensuring the stability of the soil.
Functions
Soil Reinforcement: Through the lateral confinement of the geocell on the soil, the movement of soil particles is restricted, so that the soil forms a whole, thereby improving the internal friction angle and cohesion of the soil, enhancing the overall strength and bearing capacity of the soil, and reducing foundation settlement.
Slope Protection: When used in slope engineering, it can effectively prevent the slope soil from slipping and collapsing under the action of gravity, rain erosion, etc., enhance the stability of the slope, and also play a certain role in supporting greening, which is conducive to vegetation growth and realizes ecological protection.
Filtration and Drainage: In hydraulic engineering and other fields, it can be used as a filtration layer and drainage channel. It can not only allow water to pass through smoothly, but also intercept soil particles, prevent soil erosion and clogging, and ensure the normal operation of the drainage system.
ApplicationAreas
Road Engineering: In road construction, it can be used for the reinforcement of road bases and subbases, improving the bearing capacity and deformation resistance of roads, reducing the generation of pavement cracks and ruts, and prolonging the service life of roads. It is especially suitable for road construction under poor geological conditions such as soft soil foundations and collapsible loess.
Hydraulic Engineering: It is commonly used in riverbank protection, dam reinforcement, channel lining and other engineering. It can enhance the erosion resistance of the soil, prevent the erosion of the soil by water flow, and improve the safety and durability of hydraulic facilities.
