10. A method for increasing confinement of soils and aggregate, comprising:
providing a geogrid comprising an outer hexagon made of continuous ribs and primary nodes, an inner hexagon made of secondary nodes and non-continuous ribs, wherein the non-continuous ribs form patterned discontinuity by terminating at an opposing inner hexagon, a polymeric layer forming a part of the outer hexagon and the inner hexagon, a compressible cellular layer forming a part of the outer hexagon and the inner hexagon, and a heightened aspect ratio at the primary nodes and the secondary nodes in relation to the continuous ribs and the non-continuous ribs; and
applying the geogrid to a geotechnical environment.
