Fiberglass grating is a major geosynthetic material that shares common performance and effectiveness with other geosynthetic materials. Fiberglass grilles are commonly used as reinforcement materials for reinforced soil structures or composite materials.
Application characteristics of geogrids:
1. Fiberglass grilles are mainly used for soft foundation treatment, roadbed reinforcement, slope protection, bridge abutment reinforcement, wing walls, retaining walls, isolation, and reinforced soil engineering on highways.
2. The use of fiberglass grilles on railways can prevent premature settlement and damage of railways on soft soil foundations.
3. Fiberglass grilles are used in water conservancy projects such as embankments, dams, rivers, canals, seawall construction, and reservoir reinforcement.
4. Strengthening the airport foundation with fiberglass grilles can greatly improve the runway's load-bearing capacity and ensure safe takeoff and landing of aircraft.
5. Fiberglass grilles can be used for waste disposal, power plants, ash dam engineering, coal mines, metallurgy, greening, fencing and other fields.
6. Fiberglass grating can be used for reinforcing soft foundations in building construction, improving the overall bearing capacity of the foundation.
The performance of fiberglass grating is to solve the problem of reflection cracks caused by the transformation of rigid pavement into flexible pavement. Generally, geosynthetic new material fiberglass grating is used in the design of highway renovation projects, with the aim of suppressing and delaying the reflection cracks on asphalt concrete pavement, thereby improving the service life of the pavement.
Glass fiber geogrid is a geosynthetic composite material made of glass fiber through a special coating process.
The main component of glass fiber is silicon oxide, which is an inorganic material with highly stable physical and chemical properties. It has high strength, high modulus, no long-term creep, good wear resistance, and thermal stability.
Due to the special modified asphalt coating on its surface, it has dual composite properties, greatly improving the wear resistance and shear capacity of geogrids.
Fiberglass geogrids are made from fiberglass and have high resistance to deformation, with a fracture elongation of less than 3%. As a reinforcing material, it is extremely important to have the ability to resist deformation under long-term loads, that is, creep resistance. Glass fiber does not undergo creep, which ensures that the product can maintain performance for a long time.
Due to the melting temperature of fiberglass above 1000 ℃, this ensures that the fiberglass geogrid can withstand high temperatures and has good thermal stability during paving operations.
The material coated with fiberglass geogrid in the post-treatment process is designed for asphalt mixture, and each fiber is fully coated, which has high compatibility with asphalt, ensuring that fiberglass geogrid does not isolate from asphalt mixture in the asphalt layer, but is firmly bonded together.
After being coated with special post-treatment agents, fiberglass geogrids can resist various physical and chemical erosion, as well as biological erosion and climate change, ensuring their performance is not affected.
