Eight steps to teach you how to lay a pp biaxial geogrid properly:
(1) First, accurately determine the slope line of the roadbed. To ensure the width of the roadbed, each side is widened by 0.5 meters. After the base soil is dried and leveled, it is statically compacted twice using a 25-ton vibratory roller, and then compacted four times using a 50-ton vibratory roller. The uneven areas are then manually leveled.
(2) Lay 0.3m thick medium (coarse) sand. After manual and mechanical leveling, use a 25-ton vibratory roller to perform two passes of static compaction.
(3) Lay the geogrid. When laying the geogrid, the bottom surface should be flat and dense. Generally, it should be laid flat, straightened out, and not overlapped. It must not be curled or knotted. The adjacent two layers of geogrids need to overlap by 0.2 meters. Along the roadbed, every 1 meter along the horizontal direction of the geogrid overlapping part, 8-number iron wire should be inserted for interconnection. And on the laid geogrid, every 1.5-2 meters, U-shaped nails should be fixed to the ground.
(4) After the first layer of geogrid is laid, the second layer of 0.2m thick medium (coarse) sand is filled. The method is as follows: Sand is transported to the construction site by trucks and unloaded on one side of the roadbed. Then, a bulldozer is used to push forward, first filling the 2-meter range on both sides of the roadbed with 0.1m of medium (coarse) sand. After that, the first layer of geogrid is folded over and 0.1m of medium (coarse) sand is filled again. It is prohibited to fill and push in the middle from both sides and it is also prohibited for various machinery to pass or work on the geogrid without filled medium (coarse) sand. This can ensure that the geogrid is flat without bulging or wrinkling. After the second layer of medium (coarse) sand is leveled, horizontal measurement should be conducted to prevent uneven filling thickness. After the leveling is correct, a 25T vibratory roller should be used for static pressing twice.
(5) The construction method for the second layer of geogrid is the same as that of the first layer. Then, 0.3m of medium (coarse) sand is filled. The filling method is also the same as that of the first layer. After static compaction with a 25T roller twice, the base reinforcement of the roadbed is completed.
(6) After the coarse sand on the third layer has been compacted, two layers of geogrids should be laid on both sides of the slope along the longitudinal direction of the line, with a length of 0.16m. They should be connected in the same way. Then, the earthwork construction begins. The geogrids are laid for slope protection. The laying lines must be measured for each layer, and on each side, the geogrids must be buried 0.10m inside the slope after the slope repair.
(7) For the slope geogrid, one layer of geogrid should be laid on both sides every time two layers of soil are filled, with each layer being 0.8 meters thick. Then, this process should be repeated until the geogrid is laid down to the surface soil below the road shoulder.
(8) After the roadbed is completed, timely slope restoration should be carried out, and dry stone masonry protection should be provided at the toe of the slope. For this section of the roadbed, in addition to widening each side by 0.3m, a 1.5% settlement allowance should also be reserved.
