As civil engineers, the goal isn’t just building—it’s about creating structures that stand the test of time. Geogrids play a key role in reinforcing soil and improving stability in many projects today. This guide is designed to give you a clear overview of how to properly install geogrids and get the best results. When… Continue reading Comprehensive guide to geogrid installation for soil stability
Understanding soil’s load-bearing capacity is a critical aspect of structural design and construction. Historically, builders relied on experience and observation to construct structures. The science of understanding soil behaviour and capacity was unknown. With sheer observations and requirements to understand soil behaviour, scientists coined the term ‘load bearing capacity of soil’. Karl von Terzaghi, an Austrian… Continue reading What is load bearing capacity of soil?
Soil stabilization alters the physical, chemical, or biological properties of soil to improve its stability, shear strength, load-bearing capacity, and geotechnical features for construction use. Soil stabilization, a branch of geotechnical engineering, improves soil properties by altering its physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. This is done by reducing permeability and increasing its overall strength before construction… Continue reading Soil stabilization techniques: common methods and products
Geogrids are geosynthetic materials used for reinforcing and stabilizing soil structures. They have high tensile strength and a higher elastic modulus than soil, allowing them to distribute loads more effectively and provide better reinforcement in construction applications than would otherwise be possible. Geogrids can be used in soil reinforcement, retaining wall reinforcement, slope stabilization, and more. “Geogrids… Continue reading What are the physical properties of geogrids?
Landfills are sites for waste disposal, also referred to as trash dumps or garbage dumps. Landfills are the most traditional and widely used method of waste disposal, with systematic rubbish burial methods using daily, intermediate, and ultimate covers introduced in the 1940s. Landfills are crucial for solid waste management as they keep communities clean, reduce environmental pollution,… Continue reading How can landfills be made more sustainable?
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?
Strata Global, a leading manufacturer of geosynthetic materials in India, proudly marks its 20th anniversary by launching the Stratasphere 3D interactive maps. This innovative tool is set to revolutionize the civil engineering industry by offering an advanced platform that enhances material selection and decision-making, while also providing engineers, contractors, and consultants with new capabilities to… Continue reading Strata Global celebrates 20th Anniversary with launch of Stratasphere 3D Interactive Maps
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?
