Reinforcing Embankments over soft soil
An embankment is a man-made structure, typically composed of compacted soil, sand, or stones, designed to elevate roads, railways, or other structures above the natural ground level. On soft soils, embankments are particularly challenging to construct due to settlement and deformation risks. To address these challenges, engineers increasingly rely on geosynthetic reinforcements like SF Geogrid® to stabilize and strengthen embankments effectively.

Project Commitment
When constructing embankments on soft soil, geogrids like SF Geogrid® play a vital role in enhancing stability and load distribution. By interlocking with soil particles, SF Geogrid® creates a reinforced composite layer that transfers loads uniformly, reducing stress on the underlying weak soil, minimizing soil displacement and settlement, and enhancing the overall stability of the soil structure to ensure long-term performance. The geogrid’s apertures allow soil particles to pass through and interlock, generating tension within the geogrid’s ribs as forces are applied. This tension effectively distributes the load evenly across the geogrid surface, preventing excessive soil movement and significantly increasing the embankment’s durability.
