Cellular reinforcement for soil particle confinement

Abstract

A cellular reinforcement for soil particle confinement. Transverse reinforcement cords and longitudinal reinforcement cords are interlaced with each other to form a netlike sheet having openings of a preset size, and after fusion-welding the sheets formed in this way at regular intervals in a widthwise direction, by pulling a resultant structure in both directions, a plurality of honeycombed cell nets is formed.

1 . A cellular reinforcement for soil particle confinement, wherein transverse reinforcement cords and longitudinal reinforcement cords are interlaced with each other to form a netlike sheet having openings of a preset size and then after fusion-welding sheets formed in this way at regular intervals in a widthwise direction, a plurality of honeycombed cell nets is formed by pulling a resultant structure in both directions. 
   
   
       2 . The cellular reinforcement according to  claim 1 , wherein an interlacing pattern of the transverse reinforcement cords and the longitudinal reinforcement cords is selected from among shapes of +, x and *. 
   
   
       3 . The cellular reinforcement according to  claim 1 , wherein the fusion welding is selected from among ultrasonic welding, hot melt welding, hot wedge welding, and hot air welding. 
   
   
       4 . The cellular reinforcement according to  claim 1 , wherein widthwise ends of the transverse reinforcement cords and the longitudinal reinforcement cords are formed to be sharp.
