1. Overview of glass fiber geogrid
Glass fiber geogrid is an excellent geosynthetic material used for pavement reinforcement, old road reinforcement, subgrade and soft soil foundation. It is a semi-rigid product made of high-strength alkali-free glass fiber through international advanced warp knitting technology to make a mesh base material, and then surface coating treatment. It is made of glass fiber filaments by knitting and coating.
2. Characteristics of glass fiber geogrid
(1) Mechanical properties
- High tensile strength, low elongation: With glass fiber as raw material, it has high deformation resistance, and the elongation at break is less than 3%, which makes it not easy to be elongated and deformed when bearing external forces.
- No long-term creep: As a reinforcement material, it can resist deformation under long-term load, and the glass fiber will not creep, which can ensure the long-term performance of the product.
- High modulus of elasticity: It has a high modulus of elasticity and can effectively resist deformation when stressed, such as bearing certain stresses in pavement structures and maintaining structural stability.
(2) Temperature adaptability
Good thermal stability: the melting temperature of glass fiber is 1000 ℃The above ensures the stability of the glass fiber geogrid to withstand heat in high-temperature environments such as paving operations, and can also be used normally in severe cold areas, showing good high and low temperature resistance.
(3) Relationship with other materials
- Compatibility with asphalt mixing: The material applied in the post-treatment process is designed for the asphalt mixture, each fiber is fully coated and has a high compatibility with the asphalt, does not create isolation from the asphalt mixture in the asphalt layer, but is firmly bonded together.
- Aggregate interlocking and restriction: Its mesh structure allows the aggregate in asphalt concrete to penetrate through it, forming a mechanical interlocking. This kind of interlocking limits the movement of aggregate, allows the asphalt mixture to achieve a better compaction state when loaded, improves the load-bearing capacity, load transfer performance, and reduces deformation.
(4) Durability
- Physical and chemical stability: After coating with a special post-treatment agent, it can resist all kinds of physical wear and chemical erosion, as well as biological erosion and climate change, ensuring that its performance is not affected.
- Excellent alkali resistance and aging resistance: After surface coating treatment, it has good durability in different environments and can play a role for a long time.
