Summary of Practice4.1 This practice outlines the ke
23、y installation criteria thatshould be addressed for proper installation and maximumperformance of geocomposite edge or underdrain materials, orboth. The engineer should review the specifics of the system.Geocomposite drainage materials in this practice are productsmeeting Specification D7001. Trench
24、 excavation, the depth ofdrain placement, type of backfill, backfill placement, compac-tion of backfill, product fittings and equipment used duringinstallation are addressed in this practice.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended to provide installation guidancefor designers, specifier
25、s, installation contractors, regulatoryagencies, owners, and inspectors who are involved in theplanning and installation of geocomposite pavement edge-drains and underdrains. As with any standard practice, modi-fication may be required for specific project conditions or forspecial local or regional
26、conditions. Fig. 1 shows the properhorizontal alignment of the drain based on various trenchconditions outlined in 9.2, and the vertical depth of placementof the drain needed for a geocomposite edge drain to functionmost effectively as both a collector and conduit.5.2 Fig. 2 shows the typical type a
27、nd arrangement ofequipment used to install geocomposite highway edgedrains.The combination of these recommended installation condi-tions, techniques, and equipment are critical to the satisfactorylong term performance of these products.6. Inspection, Handling, and Storage6.1 InspectionUpon receipt,
28、inspect each shipment ofpipe, geocomposite, and fittings for conformance to productspecifications and contract documents, and check for damage.The engineer should reject damaged, deformed, crushed, ornonconforming material and remove from the project.6.2 Handling and StorageHandle and store the mate
29、rial insuch a way as to prevent damage. Protect all geotextilematerials from sunlight exposure until immediately beforeinstallation.7. Backfill Materials7.1 Backfill material selection and placement methodshould be based primarily on achieving adequate compactionwithout damaging the drainage panel,
30、while also achievingintimate contact with the trench wall or backfill material, orboth. Excessive compaction efforts may damage geocompositedrainage materials and should be avoided. Skid vibratorycompactors that are used in the trench adjacent to the panel,can damage the panel if not properly aligne
31、d and operated.Free flowing materials, such as pea size crushed stone and dryor moist sand is suitable in most cases and should be placed in150 mm (6 in.) lifts. Placement of sand backfill can be done byflushing or puddling, but this should be used only whenapproved by the engineer. Post-installatio
32、n settlement in thebackfill will occur if the backfill is not properly densified.Significant settlement can cause shoulder drop-off settlementand other pavement distress problems and structure damage tothe panels. Permeability of the backfill material must also beconsidered; open-graded backfills wi
33、ll promote higher groundwater flow to the drainage system, will provide a larger sink forcollecting water, and will also provide additional flow areaduring maximum rainfall events. Soil migration from adjacentsoils (trench walls) must be considered when using opengraded backfills.7.2 ClassificationM
34、aterials for potential use as embed-ment and backfill of various components of subsurface drain-age systems are classified in Fig. 3. They include natural,manufactured, and processed aggregates and the soil typesclassified according to Classification D2487. Processed mate-rials produced for highway
35、construction (including coarseaggregate, base, subbase, and surface course materials) whenused for embedment and backfill, should be classified inaccordance with this section and Fig. 3 according to particlesize, shape, and gradation.7.3 Installation and UseFig. 4 provides recommendationson installa
36、tion and use based on class of soil or aggregates.D6088 06 (2011)27.3.1 Use of Class III Soils and AggregatesThese mate-rials may be used as recommended in Fig. 4, provided thepermeability of the material is adequate and approved by theengineer.7.3.2 Use of Class IVA, Class IVB and Class V Soils and
37、Frozen MaterialsThese materials are not recommended forbackfill and shall be excluded from the final backfill exceptwhere approved by the engineer.7.4 Description of Backfill MaterialSections 7.4.1through 7.4.5 describe characteristics of materials recom-mended for backfill. Consideration must be gi
38、ven to thepotential for migration of fines from adjacent materials into thebackfill (see appendix).7.4.1 Class IA MaterialsClass IA materials provide maxi-mum stability and support for a given density due to angularinterlock of particles. With minimum effort, these materials canbe installed in relat
39、ively high densities over a wide range ofmoisture contents. The high permeability of Class IA materialscan aid in the performance of these drainage systems. How-ever, careful consideration must be given to the potential formigration of fines from adjacent materials into the open-gradedClass IA mater
40、ials.7.4.2 Class IB MaterialsClass IB materials are processedby mixing Class IA and natural or processed sands to producea particle size distribution that minimizes migration fromadjacent materials that contain fines. They are more denselygraded than Class IA materials and thus require more compac-t
41、ive effort to achieve the minimum density specified. Whenproperly compacted, Class IB materials offer high stiffness andstrength. Class IB materials may be relatively free draining, butthe amount and gradation of fines must be controlled.7.4.3 Class II MaterialsClass II materials provide arelatively
42、 high level of structural support. Open graded groupsmay allow migration and gradations shall be checked forcompatibility with adjacent material. Typically, Class II mate-rials consist of rounded particles and are less stable thanangular materials unless they are confined and compacted.7.4.4 Class I
43、II MaterialsClass III materials provide lesssupport for a given density than Class I or Class II materials.Higher levels of compactive effort may be required unlessmoisture content is carefully controlled. These materials pro-vide satisfactory levels of structural support once properdensity is achie
44、ved. Fines content should be minimized foroptimum permeability.7.4.5 Class IVA MaterialsClass IVA materials require ageotechnical evaluation prior to use. These materials may notbe appropriate due to poor permeability or water causedinstability, particularly under wheel loads.FIG. 1 Typical Type and
45、 Arrangement of DrainD6088 06 (2011)3NOTE 1Drain positioning gate should be located and adjusted to position, and hold the geocomposite drain against the trench wall, to prevent possible “J”ing or “C”ing of the drain duringbackfilling and compaction.FIG. 2 Proper Horizontal AlignmentD608806(2011)47.
46、5 Moisture Content of Embedment MaterialThe mois-ture content of embedment materials must be within suitablelimits to permit placement and compaction to required densitylevels with reasonable effort.7.6 Maximum Aggregate SizeTo enhance placementaround geocomposite drains and to prevent damage to the
47、sestructures, the maximum aggregate size should be 19 mm (0.75in.).8. Trench Excavation8.1 GeneralProcedures for trench excavation that areespecially important in the installation of geocomposite drainsare given herein.8.1.1 ExcavationExcavate trenches to ensure that sideswill be stable and smooth.N

Specially designed equipment or premiumbackfill material (such as IA, IB, or II), or both, may enablesatisfactory installation in narrower trenches. If it is determinedthat the use of such equipment and backfill provides aninstallation consistent with the requirements of this standard,minimum trench widths may be reduced, as approved by theen
