TYPAR ® geotextiles create a layer of separation that develops a graded aggregate filter layer in the subgrade soil to maintain separation and eliminate the risk of soil mixing or ‘pumping’. TYPAR promotes development of such filter layers due to its unique bonded fibers that create a pathway resembling a well-graded aggregate filter.

WIDOT. Wisconsin DOT does not follow AASHTO M-288 and has developed its own geotextile specifications. They still require the outdated ASTM D-4833 Puncture Test. Below are US Fabric’s geotextile products that meet the Wisconsin DOT geotextile specification, listed by their application. Click on the green product name for a data sheet.
TYPAR nonwoven landscape fabrics are used in gardening and landscaping projects. TYPAR is strong enough to block weeds – yet porous to ensure the passage of necessary water and liquid nutrients. Ideal for weed control, under wood decks, planter drainage,.
(1) Furnish geotextile conforming to the physical properties specified in a required Geotextile Type SR contract special provision. (2) The engineer will obtain samples of geotextile for testing from the job site for each 10,000 square yards or lesser portion used in the work. 645.2.2.6 Geotextile , Type R (Riprap), Woven Monofilament Geotextiles . Woven Monofilament Geotextiles , often referred to as Filtration Geotextiles , are manufactured from extruded polypropylene monofilaments woven to create a very dimensionally stable, highly permeable geotextile .As filters, Woven Monofilament Geotextiles have superior resistance to soil and biological clogging. As separators and stabilizers, they allow water to …
Geosynthetic Reinforcement. The geosynthetic reinforcement, i.e. geogrids or geotextiles , used in slopes must satisfy both strength and soil interaction requirements. The strength requirements focus on the long term design strength (LTDS) of the reinforcement. Soil interaction properties include coefficients of direct sliding, Cds, and pullout, Ci.
