Description
INTRODUCTION
This article presents current information on geotextiles installed experimentally in an unpaved road 35 years ago.
In 1972, geotextiles were largely untested, and the site was set up as an accelerated field test to determine the comparative performances of several fabrics for use as a geotextile. But because the site was still accessible 35 years later, it offered an opportunity to review the ultimate potential lifetime of geotextiles in unpaved roads.
When the fabrics were exhumed in 2007, we learned that they had survived and continued in service despite 2 factors that had worked against them:
- The lack of adequate cover (in some cases, less than 6in. of stone) had adversely affected the fabrics.
- And, by current standards, an inadequate polymer stabilization package used when these fabrics were produced.
