The type of geotextile to be used in a particular application shall be decided on the basis of design.<br />

Since the Geotextiles become integral part of any structure, whenever they are being used, it is<br />

necessary that the geotextile chosen should have sufficient strength to withstand the construction and<br />

other stresses, which a fabric is likely to bear during its life span. Table 700-1 specifies the minimum<br />

strength properties requirement for application in road works. The hydraulic properties requirement are<br />

given in the subsequent paragraphs. The properties specified are minimum average roll value in the<br />

weakest direction. The relevant test standards to determine the specified properties have also been<br />

indicated in the same table. The values given in the Table 700-1 are default values, which provide for<br />

sufficient survivability under most construction conditions. The Engineer based on engineering design,<br />

may specify properties other than those listed in the Table 700-1.<br />
