The core strength of Interax Geogrids is their long-term tensile strength including factors to prevent tensile creep. Tensile creep is the gradual deformation or elongation of a material over time when subjected to persistent tensile forces under sustained loading conditions including material stretching. It is an important consideration as these materials often endure long-term loading and must maintain their structural integrity over extended periods for long-term use.
Tensar Interax Geogrids are used as key foundational components in reinforcing soil walls and slopes, spanning voids, fortifying basal embankments, facilitating load transfer platforms and ensuring veneer stability.
Conversely, in soil stabilisation applications that experience transient loading, the geogrids pivot towards tensile stiffness, geogrid-soil interlock, soil confinement, and lateral restraint. These confinement-based stabilisation applications encompass subgrade stabilisation, pavement optimisation, and capping soft soils, focusing on stability under fluctuating loads and conditions.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that HERMEQ is consulted before specifying.
