The TENAX GEORAFT system is designed to allow the
building of structures with rigid foundations on very soft and yielding
soils. This is accomplished by using bioriented TENAX LBO SAMP geogrid
(1) placed at the base, and a monooriented TENAX TT SAMP geogrid
(2) capable of giving high tensile strength, which are laid vertically
and joined to each other by a patented TENAX JOINT (3).
Different
configurations can be achieved such as a zig-zig or box shaped structure
to a depth of 1.00 m. This confinement system is then filled-in
with granular material.
