    LH800 Geogrid is designed to easily and efficiently reinforce soil slopes and segmental block retaining walls. Geogrid's length is typically between 60 - 80% of the wall or slope height. The average segmental retaining wall built to 6 ft. Tall is ideal for most SRW projects.

    LH800 Geogrid for Earth Reinforcement

    The Engineered Advantage

    >
    For RSS and SRW applications, a geogrids length is typically between 60 80% of the wall or slope height. So, for example, a thirty-foot wall would need approximately 21 ft. of geogrid embedded behind it. For tall structures, like this example, it is impossible to manufacture a geogrid that can be installed parallel with the wall or slope face, while meeting this long embedment length requirement. However, this is not the case for lower height structures, thus the development of Tensars LH800 Geogrid. With roll widths up to 13.1 ft., a RSS may be built up to 20 ft. for certain soil conditions. In addition to primary reinforcement, the available 4 ft. wide rolls are ideal for secondary reinforcement. And in situations where 8 ft. or 9 ft. embedment is required, the 13.1 ft. wide roll can be cut in the eld and converted to both the primary and secondary material. With the average segmental retaining wall built to 6 ft. tall, LH800 Geogrid rolls are ideal for most SRW projects. For taller walls, Tensar Uniaxial (UX) Geogrids are available in various design strengths to maximize design efciency and meet a variety of strength requirements. Combine the installation advantages with the durability and stability of HDPE, and LH800 Geogrid will be the rst choice for your next earth reinforced grade separation project.

    New to Tensars product line, LH800 Geogrid is designed to easily and efciently reinforce soil slopes (RSS) and segmental block retaining walls (SRWs). It is manufactured using select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins that resist elongation, or creep, when subjected to high loads for long periods of time. These geogrids carry tensile loads applied in

    one direction (strength across the roll), and their open aperture structure interlocks with natural ll materials for optimum soil/geogrid interaction. LH800 Geogrid is available in multiple widths, which, when combined with the design strength oriented across the roll, make for quick deployment of the geogrid reinforcement.

    The Installation Advantage


    Tensar LH800 Geogrid is unique to the geogrids on the market today. Unlike most that are installed perpendicular to the face of the wall or slope, LH800 Geogrid is rolled out parallel to the wall or slope face, thus maximizing the coverage of the geogrid and minimizing the amount of cutting required.

    Tensar LH800 Geogrid is available in various roll widths.

    *Reduction factors are used to calculate the geogrid strength available for resisting force in long-term load bearing applications. Allowable strength (Tallow) is determined by reducing the ultimate tensile strength (Tult) by reduction factors for installation damage (RFID), creep (RFCR) and chemical/biological durability (RFD=RFCDRFBD) per GRI-GG4 [Tallow =Tult/(RFIDRFCRRFD)]. Recommended minimum reduction factors are based on product-specic testing. Project specications, standard public agency specications and/or design code requirements may require higher reduction factors. It is the responsibility of the designer to ensure that appropriate reduction factors are applied. Contact Tensar International Corporation for further recommendations.
