Abstract
Geocells are disclosed herein that are made from polymeric strips having improved compaction and deformation resistance. The compaction resistance refers to the deformation of the geocell during installation, when the geocell is being infilled. The deformation resistance refers to the deformation of the geocell during service, which is simulated using procedures described herein.
