SC Grid™ (Biaxial) is made of polymer materials used to reinforce soils and similar materials. Soils pull apart under tension. Compared to soil, SC Biaxial Grid™ are strong in tension where design to transfer forces to a larger area of soil than would otherwise be the case.

The development of SC Biaxial Grid™ methods of preparing relatively rigid polymeric materials raised the possibility that such materials could be used for reinforcement of soils walls, steep slopes, roadway bases and foundation soils. 

Key benefits of SC Biaxial Grid™ is those openings between the adjacent sets of longitudinal and transverse ribs, called “apertures,” where design to be large enough to allow soil strike-through from one side to the other. These ribs of SC Biaxial Grid™ are stiff enough with shear strength compared to others available and fibers types. 

SC Biaxial Grid™ is not only strong of its rib strength but also on its junction strength as well. The reason for this design is that in anchorage situations the soil strike-through within the apertures bears against the transverse ribs which transmits the load to the longitudinal ribs via the junctions. The junctions are of course where the longitudinal and transverse ribs meet and are connected.
