La géocellule Erosaweb fonctionne en confinant et en stabilisant la surface des sols faibles, créant un nid d'abeilles de bandes de polymère interconnectées qui forment des poches pour localiser et renforcer le matériau de remplissage.
Erosaweb can be laid over stable, steep slopes where the cell walls provide a tensile force, increasing the strength of the material and acting as mini-weirs to reduce run off velocity and soil loss. On a slope Erosaweb geocell is normally secured to the underlying material by frequent pinning, usually with steel pins. Where this is inadvisable or impossible, for instance when Erosaweb is installed over a geomembrane, the webs should be secured to a high-strength geogrid.
Earth retaining walls can be formed with horizontal layers of Erosaweb geocell filled and placed one on top of another. A specific retaining wall product is available as Webwall geocell.
La matrice cellulaire tridimensionnelle confine et renforce les sols faibles pour une utilisation dans la rétention des sols sur les pentes abruptes.
