Interlock and Confinement

In a Tensar mechanically stabilised layer, aggregate particles interlock physically within the geogrid and are confined within the apertures, creating an enhanced composite material with improved performance characteristics.

The structural properties of the mechanically stabilised layer are influenced by the magnitude and depth of the confined zones.

Rib profile

TriAx rib structure directly influences the efficiency of the stabilised layer. Compared with a conventional biaxial geogrid, TriAx geogrid has a much greater rib depth contributing to improved confinement.
