Abstract: Exemplary geosynthetic apparatus, e.g., geogrid, and designs thereof are disclosed that are configured to restrict displacement of aggregate that mimics biostructures that optimized aperture size, aperture shape and aperture orientation to improve load distribution, improve durability, and/or improve performance in retaining aggregates and other geo materials. The exemplary geosynthetic apparatus as a product is configured as a unit cell in which the center of the unit cell has a primary structure that extend through the center to the edge of the unit cell or one or more intermediate radial position (also referred to as “radial transect boundaries”) therebetween. In embodiments in which the primary structure extends to the transect boundaries through the center of the unit cell, the primary structure are referred to as “radial ribs.
