An overview of geogrids

The origin of homogeneous punched and drawn polymer products was with Netlon Ltd. of Blackburn, England; first with geonets and then with geogrids. Two other categories of geogrids were developed in this same time period (the late 1970's and early 1980's) of very different compositions. The growth and use of geogrids in the last 25-years has been nothing short of "spectacular". This statement applies not only to the manufacturing of the products themselves but equally as much to the innovative geogrid application areas; of which eight topics were offered in this paper.
