Product Detail

Polypropylene geocells are a new type of geosynthetic material made of polypropylene (PP) sheets that are connected by ultrasonic welding or other processes to form a three-dimensional honeycomb-like structure. It has relatively high strength and stability and can be used for reinforcement and protection in various engineering fields.

Structural Characteristics

 

  • Three-Dimensional Honeycomb Structure:Its unique honeycomb structure consists of multiple interconnected cells, forming an integral three-dimensional spatial network. This structure can effectively disperse stress and improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the material.
  • Expandability:Polypropylene geocells have a certain degree of expandability when not filled with materials. They can be stretched or compressed according to engineering needs, facilitating construction and installation.

Performance Advantages

 

  • High Strength and Modulus:The polypropylene material itself has relatively high strength and modulus. The geocells made of it can withstand large loads and are not prone to deformation and damage. During long-term use, they can maintain good mechanical properties and provide reliable support for the project.
  • Corrosion Resistance and Aging Resistance:Polypropylene has good chemical stability and a certain tolerance to chemicals such as acids and alkalis, and is not prone to corrosion. At the same time, it also has good aging resistance. When exposed to the natural environment for a long time, it can resist the influence of factors such as ultraviolet rays and temperature changes, and has a long service life.
  • Permeability and Drainage:The honeycomb structure of the geocell has a certain degree of permeability, allowing water to freely penetrate and drain within the cells, avoiding water accumulation that may cause damage to the engineering structure and also facilitating the growth of vegetation.

Main Functions

 

  • Enhancing Foundation Bearing Capacity:In the treatment of soft foundations, laying geocells on the surface of the foundation and then filling with suitable materials, such as sand and gravel, can effectively restrain the lateral deformation of the foundation soil, improve the bearing capacity of the foundation, and reduce foundation settlement.
  • Reinforcing Slope Stability:When used for slope protection, geocells can be combined with vegetation to form a composite protection system. It can fix the soil on the slope surface, prevent soil loss and landslides, and at the same time provide a good environment for the growth of vegetation, enhancing the ecological stability of the slope.
  • Load Dispersion:In projects such as roads and railways, geocells can be laid on the subbase or base course to evenly disperse the upper load over a larger area, reducing stress concentration in the base course and improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the road surface.

Application Fields

 

  • Road Engineering:Widely used in subgrade treatment, pavement base course reinforcement, and old road reconstruction in expressways, first-class highways, urban roads, etc., which can effectively solve problems such as settlement of soft soil subgrades and reflection cracks on the pavement.
  • Railway Engineering:It plays an important role in the reinforcement and protection of railway subgrades and can be used to deal with weak subgrades and prevent subgrade diseases, improving the stability and safety of railway lines.
  • Water Conservancy Engineering:Used for the reinforcement and protection of dams, riverbanks, canals and other water conservancy facilities to prevent water erosion and soil loss and improve the disaster resistance ability of water conservancy projects.
  • Municipal Engineering:In municipal projects such as urban squares, parking lots, and airport runways, it is used for subgrade treatment and pavement reinforcement to improve the load-bearing capacity and service life of the site.
