The invention provides a geotechnical grille for reinforcing highway
subgrade, as well as an application method thereof. A grille net is formed by vertically and horizontally weaving high-strength and high-modulus
polyvinyl chloride polymers, so as to increase the tensile strength of reinforced belts; an outer layer of the grille is coated with a modified rubber
coating; rubber is mixed with anti-aging agent,
antioxidant, light screener and other master batches, so as to increase the
creep resistance and
corrosion resistance of the reinforced belts; surface
layers of the longitudinal and transverse reinforced belts of the grille are provided with coil-shaped embossed threads so as to increase
friction force with soil; meshes of the grille are round so as to reduce
stress concentration and increase the
extensibility of the reinforced belts; and nodes of the reinforced belts of the grille are provided with bilateral strengthening columns, so as to stop the slippage between soil body and the grille, increase the shearing resistance of the
subgrade, balance settlement and prevent the grille from being pulled out of the
subgrade. The geotechnical grille has the advantages that the grille is high in the strength of
polymer materials, little in
creep because of the modified rubber smeared outside, high in tensile strength and low in
tensile strain, and the round meshes, the threads of the reinforced belts and the strengthening columns fully occlude the soil body so as to form a space compound strengthening structure, thereby improving the entire shearing strength and settlement balancing performance of the subgrade.
