1、Standard Specification for Geosynthetic Specification for Highway Applications AASHTO Designation: M 288-17Technical Section: 4e, Joints, Bearings, and Geosynthetics Release: Group 2 (June 2017) American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials 444 North Capitol Street N.W., Suite 2

2、49 Washington, D.C. 20001 TS-4e M 288-1 AASHTO Standard Specification for Geosynthetic Specification for Highway Applications AASHTO Designation: M 288-17 Technical Section: 4e, Joints, Bearings, and Geosynthetics Release: Group 2 (June 2017) 1. SCOPE 1.1. This is a materials specification covering

3、geosynthetics for use in subsurface drainage, separation, stabilization, erosion control, temporary silt fence, paving, and soil (walls and slopes). This is a material purchasing specification and design review of use is recommended. 1.2. This specification sets forth a set of physical, mechanical,

4、and endurance properties that must be met or exceeded by the geosynthetic being manufactured. 1.3. In the context of quality systems and management, this specification represents a manufacturing quality control (MQC) document. However, its general use is essentially as a recommended design document.

5、 1.4. This specification is intended to assure both good quality and performance of geosynthetics used as listed in Section 1.1, but is possibly not adequate for the complete specification in a specific situation, especially in reinforcement applications. Additional tests, more restrictive values fo

6、r the tests indicated, or values based on project specific design may be necessary under conditions of a particular application. 1.5. Minimum strength values provided in this specification are based on geosynthetic survivability from installation stresses. Designers should be aware that the classes

7、and/or property requirements in this specification reflect this basic premise. Refer to Appendix X1 for most geosynthetic construction guidelines. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1.

Manufacturing Quality Control (MQC)A planned system of inspections that is used

21、to directly monitor and control the manufacture of a material that is factory originated. MQC is normally performed by the manufacturer of geosynthetic materials and is necessary to ensure minimum (or maximum) specified values in the manufactured product. MQC refers to measures taken by the manufact

22、urer to determine compliance with the requirements for materials and workmanship as stated in certification documents and contract specifications ref. EPA/600/R-93/182. 3.6. Minimum Average Roll Value (MARV)For geosynthetics, a MQC tool used to allow manufacturers to establish published values such

23、that the user/purchaser will have a 97.7 percent confidence that the property in question, when tested, will meet published values. For normally distributed data, MARV is calculated as the average value minus two standard deviations from documented quality control test results for a defined populati

24、on from one specific test method associated with one specific property. 3.7. minimum valueThe lowest sample value from documented MQC test results for a defined population from one test method associated with one specific property. 3.8. maximum valueThe highest sample value from documented MQC test

25、results for a defined population from one test method associated with one specific property. Note 1Other terminology related to textiles (e.g., nonwoven) and geosynthetics (e.g., apparent opening size) may be used in this specification. Definitions for this terminology may be found in ASTM D123 or D

Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4e M 288-4 AASHTO (i.e., average test results of any roll in a lot sampled for conformance or quality ass

32、urance testing shall meet or exceed the minimum values provided herein). Values for AOS represent maximum average roll values. Values for properties in Table 10 and Table 11 are as indicated in those tables. 5. CERTIFICATION 5.1. The contractor shall provide to the engineer a manufacturer certificat

33、e stating the name of the manufacturer; product name; style number; chemical composition of the filaments, yarns, straps, or sheets; and other pertinent information to fully describe the geosynthetic. For soil reinforcement, independent third party test data used to identify values for creep, durabi

34、lity, and installation damage must be included with the product certification. 5.2. The manufacturer is responsible for establishing and maintaining a quality control program to assure compliance with the requirements of the specification. Documentation describing the quality control program shall b

35、e made available on request. The manufacturer shall have a quality control program that includes an on-site laboratory accredited by the Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute, Laboratory Accreditation Program (GAI-LAP) to perform the required test methods. 5.3. The manufacturers certificate shall sta

36、te that the furnished geosynthetic meets MARV requirements, except as otherwise specified, of the specification as evaluated under the manufacturers quality control program. A person having legal authority to bind the manufacturer shall attest to the certificate. 5.4. Products without proper identif

37、ication or labeling, mislabeling, or misrepresentation of materials shall be reason to reject those geosynthetic products. 6. SAMPLING, TESTING, AND ACCEPTANCE 6.1. All geosynthetics shall be subject to sampling and testing to verify conformance with this specification. Sampling shall be in accordan

38、ce with the most current ASTM D4354, using the section titled “Procedure for Sampling for Purchasers Specification Conformance Testing.” In the absence of purchasers testing, verification may be based on manufacturers certifications as a result of testing by the manufacturer or by an independent thi

39、rd-party laboratory accredited by GAI-LAP to perform the required test methods, of quality assurance samples obtained using the procedure for sampling for manufacturers quality assurance (MQA) testing. A lot size shall be considered to be the shipment quantity of the given product or a truckload of

40、the given product, whichever is smaller. 6.2. Testing shall be performed in accordance with the methods referenced in this specification for the indicated application. The number of specimens to test per sample is specified by each test method. Geosynthetic product acceptance shall be based on ASTM

41、D4759. Product acceptance is determined by comparing the average test results of all specimens within a given sample to the specification MARV except as otherwise specified. Refer to ASTM D4759 for more details regarding geosynthetic acceptance procedures. Note 2The purchasing agency may specify and

42、 require the geosynthetic manufacturer to participate in the applicable AASHTO National Transportation Product Evaluation Programs (NTPEPs) Audit Program for Geosynthetics (GTX precipitation; extended ultraviolet radiation, including sunlight; chemicals that are strong acids or strong bases; flames,

43、 including welding sparks; temperatures in excess of 71C (160F); and any other environmental condition that may damage the physical property values of the geosynthetic. 8.
