Abstract:
Engineering fabrics for highway construction and maintenance, are increasingly being used in a variety of ways: as filters for subsurface drainage; as separation barriers to prevent the contaminatin of base courses; as subgrade restraining layers for weak subgrades; as earth reinforcement for retaining walls; as erosion control barriers; and for other uses. To facilitate greater use of these fabrics, this publication has been published. The publication contains specifications for a variety of fabric uses from six organizations, which have had significant construction experience with fabrics.
