This document summarizes a seminar presentation on the use of geogrids as soil reinforcement. Some key points: - Geogrids are synthetic materials formed by bonding polymer strips at crossing points, creating an open structure. - They have been used since the 1930s for applications like road construction, erosion control, and in the Great Wall of China. - Common types include woven and nonwoven geogrids. Materials include polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, and polypropylene. - Geogrids function by transmitting fluid forces, filtering soil, and separating soil for reinforcement of retaining walls, bridges, slopes, and more. - When used in

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT
1) FIRST USED FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION
IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1930
2) FOR EROSION CONTROL IN 1960 IN
EUROPE AS WELL AS U.S.A IN 1969
3) IN GREAT WALL OF CHINA ALSO USED
IN THE FORM OF TREE BRANCHES.

CONCLUSION:
1. TO EFFECTIVELY SOLVE SOME PROBLEMS OF SOIL MASS
LIKE, BEARING CAPACITY, FAILURE OF SLOPES,
EROSION CONTROL, LAND SLIP REPAIR, ROADS, QUICK
CONSTRUCTION AND ALL OTHER, GEOGRID IS BETTER
SOLUTION .
2. GEOGRIDS ARE MAGIC MATERIALS TO YIELD
EXCELLENT RESULTS .
