Key factors for geosynthetics in roadway construction One of the reasons geosynthetics are preferred over traditional materials, which remain in wide use, is their inherent longevity and superior ability to improve project quality and outcomes. Polymer-based materials offer inherent longevity, leading to reduced maintenance cycles and fewer hazards. This blog explains how selecting the right combination… Continue reading Key factors for geosynthetics in roadway construction
Difference between non-woven and woven geotextiles Geotextiles are geosynthetic materials with several applications in civil engineering. These robust synthetic fabrics are manufactured for multiple uses like soil stabilization, erosion control, construction, drainage and many such geotechnical projects. They are typically manufactured from either polypropylene or polyester. The most common types of geotextiles are woven and non-woven… Continue reading Difference between non-woven and woven geotextiles
What is a road pavement, and how is it designed? A pavement is an engineered structure forming the surface of a route (such as a road or footpath) to bear the load of its intended traffic. Here, we’re referring to the surface and underlying structural layers in road construction. A paved road has a surface course, which can be… Continue reading What is a road pavement, and how is it designed?
What is permeability of soil? Soil permeability is a measure of its capacity to allow liquid and/or gases to pass through it. It is an inherent property of soil. In the context of civil engineering, however, the most important element of permeability is related to water transmission. Soil mechanics, the branch of engineering that studies the physical… Continue reading What is permeability of soil?
A common problem faced by pavement engineers is the development of cracks in highways, roads, and pavements, which may compromise safety in addition to cost implications for maintenance. Geogrids in highways serve one primary function, reinforcement – which provides several key benefits: it improves the structural integrity of subgrade or aggregate layers, reduces stress on other… Continue reading How geogrids prevent roads from cracking?
What is the biggest challenge, apart from on-site surprises, for civil engineers when it comes to materials selection? Being able to visualise their projects, when they’re choosing materials, before the design stage. This insight is the reason why we launched our 3-D interactive maps, which help civil engineers visualise the applications of geogrids, geocells and… Continue reading Strata Global launches interactive 3D Maps
Celebrating two decades of geotechnical excellence In celebration of two decades of excellence, this October 2024, Strata Global team looks back at the landmarks in its history. As a symbol of the first step in this continued journey, Strata Global, was established on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra in 2004, by Ashok Bhagnani. With… Continue reading Celebrating two decades of geotechnical excellence
Geotextiles are highly permeable fabrics or filtration fibers used in soil erosion control and soil improvement contexts. They are fabrics made from polymers like polypropylene and polyester, which act as selective filters to prevent the migration of fine soil particles. Geotextiles prevent the movement of fine soil particles that could clog drainage systems or compromise soil… Continue reading What is a geotextile in civil engineering?
In the past, engineers have faced challenges related to unstable soil formations. In construction projects, poor soil conditions can lead to structural failures, increased expenses, and project delays. Before the invention of geogrids, conventional techniques usually called for the use of large quantities of expensive aggregate materials. Alternatively, complex soil reinforcement techniques were implemented. The… Continue reading What are the common challenges while installing geogrids?
Soil stabilization is the modification of the natural soil’s intrinsic properties to improve its load-bearing capacity, shear strength, and overall performance. This procedure employs mechanical, chemical, or biological methods, utilizing materials such as cement, chemical additives, or various agents to enhance soil strength and stability. The base is an important part of road construction, as it… Continue reading How is soil stabilization for road construction done?
