Key factors for Geosynthetics in roadway construction The applications of geosynthetics in construction of roadways and pavements offer advantages in stability, drainage, and long-life features. Selection, therefore, is a project-dependent task that will require thoughtful consideration of several factors. This blog explains the key considerations when making such decisions. The decision to choose a 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 generally prepared from either polypropylene or polyester, as these are highly resistant to rot and corrosion.… Continue reading Difference Between Non-Woven and Woven Geotextiles
What is a road pavement, and how is it designed? A pavement is the top most surface of a road that bears the load of traffic, most often vehicular and should not be confused with a footpath. Now often this leads to confusion depending on the British or American style of English. Here, we’re referring… Continue reading What is a road pavement, and how is it designed?
What is permeability of soil? Soil permeability is a measure of its inherent ability to let liquids, gases, and/or vegetation pass through. It’s an inherent property of soil and one of the six physical properties of soil. In the context of civil engineering, however, the most important element of permeability relates to water transmission. This… Continue reading What is permeability of soil?
Road connectivity is what has led to the growth of human civilisation. While many parts of the world remain unconnected, despite so many decades of progress, roads remain a subject of engineering challenges. A common problem faced by pavement engineers is the development of cracks in highways, roads, and pavements, which may compromise safety in… 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 a… Continue reading Celebrating two decades of geotechnical excellence
Geotextiles are a class of permeable geosynthetic materials. They are fabrics made up of polymers like polypropylene and polyester that act as selective filters in soil. It prevents the mobility of very fine soil particles that could go into drainage systems or weaken the integrity of soil. Geotextiles are superb in drainage, separation of dissimilar… Continue reading What is geotextile in civil engineering?
Historically, engineers have had their share of challenges posed by unstable soil formations. Weak soil conditions lead to delays, increased costs, and even structural failures of construction projects. Before the invention of geogrids, the more conventional solutions involved using large quantities of expensive aggregate materials or implementing complex soil reinforcement techniques. Dr. Brian Mercer pioneered… Continue reading What are the common challenges while installing geogrids?
If you’re in the midst of a construction project in a coastal area, prone to high water saturation and weak subgrades, what would you typically do for soil reinforcement? You may choose compaction, i.e. adding more soil to improve density. The other traditional option might be to add drainage by creating culverts, and or other… Continue reading How is soil stabilization for road construction done?
