Download or read book Engineering Criteria for Use of Geotextile Fabrics in Pavement and Railroad Construction written by Richard H. Grau and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available literature concerning the use of geotextiles as separator mechanisms between angular granular and subgrade materials used in the construction of roadways and railroads is presented. Procedures and results of tests using a model load cart with a rolling wheel load to evaluate geotextiles are also presented. The model load cart provides a fast and excellent means of applying a large number of traffic cycles to an aggregate geotextile subgrade system in a short period of time. Criteria for selecting geotextiles to be used in road and railroad construction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are analyzed. A separator mechanism is generally provided between layers in the pavement system for low-volume trafficked short lifetime roadways of any geotextile, but a nonwoven, needle-punched, polyester fabric is required for long-term, high-volume usage. The fabric can weigh a minimum of 4 oz/sq yd and can transmit water laterally. Geotextiles used in railroad construction can be placed 10-12 in. below the bottom of railroad ties to minimize abrasive damage caused by full depth tamping.

Download or read book Guidelines for Use of Fabrics in Construction and Maintenance of Low volume Roads written by John E. Steward and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Porous woven and non-woven fabrics have been used in road construction in Region since 1974. The fabrics have been used: 1) as filters for subsurface drainage; 2) separation layers to prevent subgrade soil contamination of base layers; 3) subgrade restraining layers for weak subgrades; 4) earth reinforcement to build retaining walls; S) erosion control, and 6) water proofing membranes. A reference notebook titled "Fabrics In Construction" is due for release to Region 6 Forests in June 1977. This notebook contains a description of current practices and the state-of-the-art in the use of fabrics in road construction and maintenance. The notebook defines terminology and lists the key factors involved in each usage, and relates the fabric physical and chemical properties to the intended usage. The notebook also contains appropriate technical literature, manufacturers' literature and cost data on the known available fabrics. This report highlights the contents of the reference book and discusses the current knowledge for the use of fabrics in low-volume road construction and maintenance. Present and projected uses of the fabric and the most significant physical properties related to these uses are discussed. Probable future uses and the areas of greatest need for technical knowledge and experience are outlined. The process for moving a fabric or fabric use from the conception and trial use state into full use with standard specifications and design criteria is described.
