R24.1 SCOPE This specification sets out the minimum requirements for the supply and installation of geotextile products. R24.2 OBJECTIVES This specification aims in conjunction with other nominated Specifications to ensure that: materials supplied have been produced controlled conditions to known and acceptable quality and variability production is managed to minimise variability materials are stored and handled in a manner that is not detrimental to their immediate or long-term performance inspections, sampling and testing are undertaken in a systematic manner by appropriately qualified persons reliably calibrated equipment there is documented evidence, readily available to the Superintendent, which demonstrates that the specified requirements are met. R24.3 REFERENCES AND STANDARDS Geotextiles shall be compatible with the provisions of all Department of State Growth Standard Specifications for Design, Construction and Maintenance, Austroads Guides and Test Methods and Australian Standards, in particular: Department of State Growth Standard Specifications G1 General Provisions – G2 Contract Management Plan – G9 – Product Quality R22 Earthworks – R33 – Subsoil Drains B1 Earthworks and Foundations – B50 Crib – B51 Gabion and Mattresses – B52 Reinforced Soil Walls – Austroads AP-C87/10 Glossary of Austroads Terms Austroads Guides to Pavement Technology Part 4G Geotextiles and Geogrids – Australian Standards AS 1348 Glossary of – Roads and traffic engineering AS 2001.2.3.1 Methods of test for textiles Physical tests Determination of – – maximum force and elongation at maximum force using the strip method AS 2001.2.3.2 Methods of test for textiles Physical tests Determination of – – maximum force using the grab method (ISO 13934-2:1999, MOD) AS 3704 Geosynthetics Glossary of terms – AS 3706 Geotextiles Methods of test (Parts 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 & 9) – R24.4 DEFINITIONS Further to the documents referred to in Clause R24.3, the following definitions shall apply in respect of terms used to specify the physical and mechanical properties of geotextiles: Cu: Coefficient of uniformity = D60/D10
