  • Abstract:
    These "guidelines" were prepared to assist design engineers, specification writers, estimators, construction personnel, inspectors, and maintenance personnel with the design, selection, and installation of geotextiles and related products. In addition to providing a general overview of these materials and their application, the guidelines provide step by step procedures for the use of geotextiles and related products in drainage and erosion control systems, roadways, and as reinforcement. Although only geotextiles are included in the title, design using other geosynthetic products such as geogrids for reinforcement and geocomposites for drainage applications are mentioned where appropriate. These guidelines are based on the procedures and background information in the FHWA Geotextile Engineering Manual (Christopher and Holtz, 1985). If you are not already familiar with geotextiles, you are encouraged to review that manual, especially if you are attempting to design with geotextiles for the first time. The FHWA Manual is our basic reference for this document, although occasionally we will refer to other published information. We will also assume that you are already familiar with the basics of highway engineering, pavement design, and geotechnical engineering. we have tried to use common symbols and notation throughout, and a list is provided in the Appendix for easy reference.
