New advancements in subgrade reinforcement makes roadways stronger than ever

Strata introduces StrataBase, the NEW and ADVANCED geogrid to support unpaved and paved roadways and load support applications. StrataBase is a Polymer-coated precision-knitted polyester geogrid designed specifically for subgrade and base reinforcement on roadways, parking lots, caps for sludge ponds and landfills, and more. This biaxial geogrid has high ultimate tensile strength properties that are ideal for areas subject to severe deformation or significant rutting. The high ultimate tensile strength minimizes the risk of rupture under heavy or repeated dynamic load.

Over the past 20 years or more, geogrid reinforcement has proven to be an effective reinforcement material, and with Strata’s research and technology, it is now stronger than ever. Geotextiles provide separation protecting high-quality aggregate from poor quality, fine-grain subgrade soils, as well as some reinforcement in certain applications. Drain pipes and geocomposites in conjunction with geotextile filters have proven effective in transporting water away and working to maintain a stable load support structure.

StrataBase is also designed to consider low strain or small deformation performance requirements important for unpaved and paved roadways. Research indicates tensile modulus is one of many important factors affecting structural performance under short-term dynamic loading. StrataBase is designed to provide high tensile modulus that ensures development of sufficient tensile strength under small deformations or small strains critical for paved roadway applications. The 2% and 5% tensile modulus or strain response of StrataBase is engineered for critical roadway applications.

StrataBase is effective geogrid reinforcement for many applications, including:

• Subgrade improvement for unpaved and paved roadways
• Commercial and Industrial parking areas
• Haul roads and other unpaved roadways
• Embankments and construction platforms over soft soils
• Caps for sludge ponds, landfills and other low bearing materials
