Stretching in the machine and cross directions is what gives the ribs their tensile strength. In soil, the open apertures are meant to lock with aggregate and spread load.
A numerical grade table is printed. The scan does not support a cell-by-cell copy, so tensile values are not listed here.
What the brochure emphasises
- Raises bearing capacity and the service life of a subgrade or foundation.
- Limits rutting and cracking at the surface.
- Can reduce the thickness of a granular layer, where the design allows it.
- Described as a support for vegetated slope mats.
- The brochure also names a use as a substitute for steel mesh in a coal-mine false roof.
Uses named in the brochure
- Embankments and subgrade reinforcement.
- Slope protection and tunnel-wall reinforcement.
- Airfields, car parks and quay yards.
- Culverts, where the brochure claims a reduction in cracking.
