Textured geocell

Abstract

A geocell for retaining infill in geotechnical structure, e.g. a protection construction on an unstable slope in mountainous areas, construction foundation, and green-making with plants, consists of several plastic plates; every two adjacent plastic plates are connected together at several spaced apart elongated joints by means of ultrasonic welding, each of which elongate joints includes several aligned points; thus, the geocell can be expanded into a honeycomb shape, and cells are formed therein for containing backfill therein; the plastic plates are formed with rough finishes so as to increase the backfill retaining capability of the present geocell.

1 . A textured geocell for retaining infill in geotechnical structure, comprising: 
 a plurality of plastic plates, every two adjacent said plastic plates being connected together at a plurality of spaced apart elongate joints by means of ultrasonic welding, each of said elongate joints includes a plurality of aligned points, such that said plastic plates expand to form a honeycomb shape for containing the backfill therein;    a plurality of rough finishes on said plastic plates, said rough finishes having irregular projections forming a randomized pattern so as to have increased backfill retaining capability.
