Triaxial geogrid designed for stabilisation of aggregates and soils Advanced durable material for improvement of roads, rail and trafficked areas Hexagonal structure with triangular apertures for high load absorption and distribution Stiff structure, high rib profile and strong junctions for optimum aggregate interlock and confinement Tensar® TriAx® geogrid was the first product to be manufactured specifically for the stabilisation of aggregates. Tensar's triaxial geogrids are designed to optimise interlock and confinement, both essential for the control of particle movement, resulting in a stronger, stiffer aggregate layer with increased load spreading capacity and deformation resistance. With applications in road foundations, pavement layers, rail trackbed and other trafficked areas, incorporating a triaxial geogrid can result in aggregate savings of up to 50%, with the associated benefits of reducing cost, transportation, construction time and emissions. Tensar triaxial geogrids have been designed specifically for the stabilisation of aggregates in roads, railways and trafficked areas. It has been the subject of extensive research, full-scale testing and field trials. From the mass of data obtained, design parameters have been developed specific to TriAx and these are incorporated into Tensar’s design software. The geometry of a Tensar triaxial geogrid provides a near-uniform (360°) in-plane stiffness. This has been shown to efficiently distribute the traffic load which acts radially on the stabilised layer. Loads are absorbed with very low strain in the geogrid, which results in reduced layer deformation.
