Scope Scope*1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for geotextile fabrics and associated components used in temporarysi

3、lt fence applications. Table 1 is a material purchasing specification based onAASHTO M288. Table 2 is a specification to be usedin areas of high water flow. The specification on Table 2 is a higher strength, higher flow option than Table 1. Table 2 propertiescan withstand more hydraulic flow than th

4、e specification listed on Table 1. The Table 2 specification should be used in sensitiveapplications, such as areas near regulated waters and wetlands, but also areas that are prone to high flow runoff that requireincreased structural stability. The design professional has the option of Table 2 wher

5、e the specifications listed in Table 1 are notsufficient to meet the demand of runoff.1.2 Both specifications are applicable to the use of a geotextile as a vertical permeable interceptor designed to remove suspendedsoil from overland, nonconcentrated water flow. The function of a temporary silt fen

6、ce is to trap and allow settlement of soilparticles from sediment laden water. The purpose is to greatly limit the transport of eroded soil from construction sites and otherareas affected by water runoff.NOTE 1It should be noted that proper installation and maintenance are critical for the effective

7、 functioning of silt fence.1.3 The tests used to characterize the silt fence are intended to ensure good workmanship and quality and are not necessarilyadequate for design purposes in view of the wide variety of possible sediments and performance objectives.1.4 The values stated in either SI units o

8、r inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents, therefore each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.NOTE 2Although the Table 1

9、specification should be acceptable in most erosion control applications, it should be noted that an alternative silt fencespecification for a higher water flow rate, listed in Table 2, may be required by the engineers in areas that are susceptible to higher water runoff; usingTable 2 specification w

Shipment and Storage6.1 Silt fence labeling, shipment and storage shall follow Guide D4873D4873/D4873M. Product labels shall clearly show themanufacturer or supplier name, styl

37、e name, and roll number. Each shipping document shall include a notation certifying that thematerial is in accordance with the manufacturers certificate.6.2 Each silt fence roll may be wrapped with a material that will protect the geotextile from damage due to shipment, water,sunlight, and contamina

38、nts; however, silt fence that has been fabricated with wooden stakes shall not be wrapped due tocondensation rotting the stakes within the covering. If applicable, the protective wrapping shall be maintained during periods ofshipment and storage.6.3 During storage, silt fence rolls shall be elevated

39、 off the ground and adequately covered to protect them from thefollowingsite construction damage, precipitation, extended ultraviolet radiation including sunlight, strong acids or strong bases,flames including welding sparks, temperatures in excess of 160F 71 C, and any other environmental condition

40、 that may damagethe physical properties of the geotextile.7. Temporary Silt Fence Material Requirements7.1 The geotextile used for temporary silt fence in Table 1, may or may not be supported between posts with wire or polymericmesh. If wire support mesh is used, the fabric shall be secured to the w

41、ire support mesh and to the support posts as well. If supportpolymeric mesh is used, it may or may not be attached to the fabric, but shall always be securely attached to the support posts.The temporary silt fence geotextile shall meet the minimum requirements in Table 1. Grab strength and permittiv

42、ity values in Table1 represent minimum average roll values (MARV).Values forAOS represent maximum average roll values (MaxARV). Ultravioletstability values are typical values.D6461/D6461M 1837.2 As a general rule, the minimum height above ground for all silt fence should be 18 in. 450mm and a maximu

43、m of 30 in.750mm, see Note 3 discussing the maximum height above ground. Minimum embedment depth shall be 6 in. 150mm. As ageneral rule, the minimum silt fence width should be 3 ft 900mm.0.9m.7.3 Under Table 1, maximum post spacing shall be based on the fabric support or, if unsupported, on elongati

44、on as measuredin accordance with Test Method D4632D4632/D4632M. Supported silt fence shall have a maximum post spacing of 10 ft 3m.Unsupported silt fence with elongation 50 % shall have a maximum post spacing of 4 ft 1.2m. Unsupported silt fence withelongation 50 % shall have a maximum post spacing

45、of 6.5 ft 2m.7.4 The geotextile used for temporary silt fence in Table 2, shall be supported between posts with wire or polymeric mesh. Thetemporary silt fence geotextile shall meet the minimum requirements in Table 2. Grab strength and permittivity values in Table2 represent minimum average roll va

46、lues (MARV).Values forAOS represent maximum average roll values (MaxARV). Ultravioletstability values are typical values.7.5 Under Table 2, supported temporary silt fence shall have a maximum post spacing of 4 ft 1.2m.NOTE 3The recommended maximum height of 30 in. 750mm is designed to trap the flowi

47、ng sediment without creating a serious downstreamflooding problem if the silt fence experienced a total rupture. In addition, the maximum silt fence height must take into account the environmentalconditions of the area of installation to, for example, avoid a situation where the silt fence could cau

48、se the level of the retained water to rise to a levelthat would flood an adjacent structure. In that situation, it would be necessary to use a lower height silt fence above ground and consideration shouldbe given to using multiple properly spaced silt fences to slow the velocity of the water flow an

49、d provide for additional silt collection without the riskof harmful flooding.8. Related Material Requirements8.1 When using shorter silt fences, wood, steel, or synthetic support posts having a minimum length of 3 ft 900mm0.9m maybe used; however, in most cases a minimum 4 ft 1.2m T Post would be recommended, the width of the silt fence fabric wouldbe the determining factor. The posts shall have sufficient strength to resist damage during installation and to support the appliedloads due to material build up behi
