Abstract
Reticular structure made of material including: a biodegradable polymeric composition in a percentage by weight greater than 90% with respect to the total weight of the material of the reticular structure and a stabilizing additive configured, in use, for reducing the degradation of the reticular structure. A process for making said reticular structure and to a use thereof.
Claims20
A monolithic reticular structure configured for soil consolidation comprising:
- a plurality of first elements distanced from each other and having an elongated conformation according to a first trajectory, and
- a plurality of second elements distanced from each other and having an elongated conformation according to a second trajectory transversal to the first trajectory,
- wherein the first elements and the second elements intersect at nodes to form a mesh,
- wherein the monolithic reticular structure is made of a material comprising a biodegradable polymeric composition which is in a range of 92% to 99.5% by weight of a total weight of the material of the monolithic reticular structure,
- wherein the material also comprises a stabilizing additive configured to delay degradation over time of the monolithic reticular structure during conditions of use of soil consolidation,
- wherein the stabilizing additive is in a range of 0.8% to 6% by weight of the total weight of the material of the monolithic reticular structure, and
- wherein the monolithic reticular structure is configured for soil consolidation.
