Why do driveways need reinforcement?

After a benefit analysis, it is worthwhile to choose a Geocell For Driveway. Let's analyze the following reasons.

Why do driveways need reinforcement?

Before we can understand what a geocell is, we first need to understand why a driveway needs to be reinforced.

A common misconception is that because driveways are one strong material over the next, they are strong enough to serve their purpose. This may seem logical, but it is not.

First, driveway materials are not actually strong. Because the driveway is built from several layers of aggregate stone and compacted sand, there are actually tiny air pockets throughout the base of the driveway. This is necessary because without these voids, there would be no way for water to drain back into the soil.

When these voids are closed with time and wear, we get what is called a "compacted" layer. This reduces the number of gaps in the substrate, making it more difficult for water to drain out in heavy rain. If the drainage is too poor, water can start to pool on (or under) the driveway, causing a host of problems, from eroding materials to sinking foundations.

This is where geocells can help.

What Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting?

What Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting? Most  dimpled drainage matting  consist of a polypropylene or high-density polyethylene  sheet, molded into a series of raised knobs, or dimples. Polyethylene dimpled drainage mat helps water flow away from the foundation. Without it, water can stay trapped against the concrete or pool at the bottom. Drainage mats come with a dimpled design that lets water accumulate and flow away, creating an air gap. When a dimple mat is placed against a concrete wall, the dimples make the plastic stand out from the wall, leaving a free-draining air space between the plastic and the concrete. If any water reaches this air space, it easily flows to the bottom of the dimple mat. As water flows, it picks up small particles of silt and soil. When water stops moving—like when it reaches a concrete wall—silt and soil will accumulate, further increasing the pressure against the foundation. A drainage ma's membrane protects the mat from sediment clogging...

Geocell For Slope Protection

  Geocell For Slope Protection Everyone knows that when a car is driving on the desert, it will press two deep tracks, the pressed part sinks deeply, and the two sides of the track will bulge high. If the vehicle behind continues to advance along the rut, the sinking part will sink further, and the bulging part will bulge further, until the bulging part hits the chassis of the car, and the sinking rut buries most of the wheels, making it impossible to move forward. The reason for this is because when an external load acts on the surface of the foundation, according to Planttel theory and Taylor theory, it can be known that under the action of concentrated load, the active zone is compressed and sinks, and the force is decomposed and transmitted to the transition on both sides. Zone, the transition zone is passed to the passive zone, and the passive zone will deform and bulge without restriction. Features: 1. It is flexible in expansion and contraction, and can be folded during tran...
