Minimum short-term seam peel strength requirements and long-term performance of geocell junctions
October 20th, 2023
Internal geocell junctions, also called seams, play a critical role in ensuring that a geocell system will perform uniformly and consistently across the footprint of a stabilized area. In load support applications, non-uniform junction performance can lead to differential settlement and localized subsidence. This can lead to serviceability issues, damage to the overlying structure/pavement, and […]
Slope stability with geocells at a New Zealand playground
December 27th, 2021
Photograph courtesy of Cirtex Aronia Park is a colorful new playground in South Auckland, New Zealand, that includes two multihued slides. The challenge arose with the specified topsoil thickness for the steep slope beneath the slides. There was a risk of the slope soil sliding off and requiring costly repair. Greenscene, the contractor, approached Cirtex […]
