TABLE 2.2A. AASHTO M288 GEOTEXTILE STRENGTH PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS

Class 1: For severe or harsh

survivability conditions where
there is a greater potential for
geotextile damage.

Class 2: For typical survivability

conditions; this is the default
classification to be used in the
absence of site specific
information.

Class 3: For mild survivability

conditions where there is little or
no potential for geotextile
damage.
