Pile embankments / Granular columns
Soft soil reinforcement: Structured Landfills
Pile embankments / Granular columns
The use of piles or granular columns at the base of embankments on soft soils simultaneously addresses problems of failure (Ultimate Limit State - ELU) and displacement (ELS).
In these applications, StrataGrid geogrids work like a slab transferring loads to the piles/columns and maximize their efficiency.
Soft soil reinforcement: Structured Landfills
Operation
Structured Platform: Embankments on soft structured soils (using piles or granular columns) absorb loads from the embankment and transfer them to a competent soil foundation below the soft soil layer using the sag effect. Using StrataGrid geogrids that work as a slab, the transfer of loads to the piles/columns is maximized due to the StrataGrid membrane effect, which generates greater efficiency in the use of piles/columns, reduction of differential settlements on the surface and possibility of optimization from the mesh.

Features
- StrataGrid Geogrid used directly on the stakes/columns.
- Need for a well-executed capital to minimize damage to the geogrid.
- Need for crossings in both directions of a double layer of unidirectional geogrid.
- Tensile strength is the property to be specified.
- Greater efficiency of reinforcement when there is anchoring at the edges by wrapping the geogrid.
