Sample Specifications for Engineering Fabrics from Alabama,California,Illinois,New York, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,USDA Forest Service.

摘要

Engineering fabrics for highway construction and maintenance,are increasingly being used in a variety of ways: (1) as filters for subsurface drainage; (2) as separation barriers to prevent the contamination of base courses; (3) as subgrade restraining layers for weak subgrades; (4) as earth reinforcement for retaining walls; (5) as erosion control barriers; (6) for other uses. To facilitate greater use of these fabrics,this report has been published. The publication contains specifications for a variety of fabric uses from six organizations,which have had significant construction experience with fabrics: (1) the Department of the Army--Corps of Engineers; (2) the USDA Forest Service; (3) The State of Alabama Highway Department; (4) the California Dept. of Transportation; (5) the Illinois Department of Transportation; (6) the New York State Department of Transportation.
