1、Designation: D 6461 99Standard Specification forSilt Fence Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6461; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses ind

2、icates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methodsfor geotextile fabrics and associated components used intemporary silt fence applications. This is a mat

3、erial purchasingspecification based on AASHTO M288.1.2 This specification is applicable to the use of a geotextileas a vertical permeable interceptor designed to remove sus-pended soil from overland, nonconcentrated water flow. Thefunction of a temporary silt fence is to trap and allowsettlement of

4、soil particles from sediment laden water. Thepurpose is to greatly limit the transport of eroded soil from thea construction site by water runoff.1.3 The tests used to characterize the silt fence are intendedto ensure good workmanship and quality and are not necessar-ily adequate for design purposes

5、 in view of the wide variety ofpossible sediments and performance objectives.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values in inch-pound units are provided forinformation only.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 123 Terminology Relating to Textiles2D 276 Tes

Materials and Manufacture3.1 Fibers use

9、d in the manufacture of geotextiles for siltfence, and the threads used in joining geotextiles by sewing,shall consist of long-chain synthetic polymers composed of atleast 95 % by weight of polyolefins or polyester. They shall beformed into a stable network such that the filaments or yarnsretain the

10、ir dimensional stability relative to each other, includ-ing selvages.3.2 Geotextiles and related materials used for temporary siltfence shall conform with the physical requirements of Sections7 and 8.3.3 All property values, with the exception of apparentopening size (AOS), in this specification rep

11、resent minimumaverage roll values (MARV) in the weakest principle direction(that is, average test results of any roll in a lot sampled forconformance or quality assurance testing shall meet or exceedthe minimum value provided herein). Values for AOS representmaximum average roll values.4. Sampling,

12、Testing, and Acceptance4.1 Silt fence shall be subject to sampling and testing toverify conformance with this specification. Sampling for test-ing shall be in accordance with Practice D 4354. Acceptanceshall be based on testing of either conformance samplesobtained using Procedure A of Practice D 43

13、54, or based onmanufacturers certifications and testing of quality assurancesamples obtained using Procedure B of Practice D 4354. A lotsize for conformance or quality assurance sampling shall beconsidered to be the shipment quantity of the given product ora truckload of the given product, whichever

14、 is smaller.4.2 Testing shall be performed in accordance with the testmethods referenced in this specification for the indicatedapplication. The number of specimens to test per sample isspecified by each test method. Geotextile product acceptanceshall be based on Practice D 4759. Product acceptance

17、allspecimens within a given sample to the specification MARV.Refer to Practice D 4759 for more details regarding geotextileacceptance procedures.5. Certification5.1 The contractor shall provide to the Engineer a certificatestating the name of the manufacturer, product name, stylenumber, chemical com

18、position of the filaments or yarns andother pertinent information related to posts, post spacing,support mesh, and other components to fully describe the siltfence system.5.2 The manufacturer is responsible for establishing andmaintaining a quality control program to assure compliancewith the requir

19、ements of the controlling material specification.Documentation describing the quality control program shall bemade available upon request.5.3 The manufacturers certificate shall state that the fur-nished silt fence materials meet the requirements of thecontrolling specification as evaluated under th

20、e manufacturersquality control program. The certificate shall be attested to bya person having legal authority to bind the manufacturer.5.4 Either mislabeling or misrepresentation of materialsshall be reason to reject those silt fence materials.6. Shipment and Storage6.1 Silt fence labeling, shipmen

21、t and storage shall followGuide D 4873. Product labels shall clearly show the manufac-turer or supplier name, style name, and roll number. Eachshipping document shall include a notation certifying that thematerial is in accordance with the manufacturers certificate.6.2 Each silt fence roll shall be

22、wrapped with a material thatwill protect the geotextile from damage due to shipment, water,sunlight, and contaminants. The protective wrapping shall bemaintained during periods of shipment and storage.6.3 During storage, silt fence rolls shall be elevated off theground and adequately covered to prot

23、ect them from thefollowingsite construction damage, precipitation, extendedultraviolet radiation including sunlight, chemicals that arestrong acids or strong bases, flames including welding sparks,temperatures in excess of 71C (160F), and any other envi-ronmental condition that may damage the physic

24、al propertyvalues of the geotextile.7. Temporary Silt Fence Material Requirements7.1 The geotextile used for temporary silt fence may or maynot be supported between posts with wire or polymeric mesh.The temporary silt fence geotextile shall meet the requirementsof Table 1. Grab strength and permitti

25、vity values in Table 1represent minimum average roll values (MARV). Values forAOS represent maximum average roll values (MaxARV).Ultraviolet stability values are typical values.7.2 The minimum height above ground for all silt fenceshall be 750 mm (2.5 ft). Minimum embedment depth shall be150 mm (0.5

26、 ft). Thus, the minimum silt fence width shall be900 mm (3 ft).7.3 Maximum post spacing shall be based on the fabricsupport or, if unsupported, on elongation as measured inaccordance with Test Method D 4632. Supported silt fenceshall have a maximum post spacing of 1.2 m (4 ft). Unsup-ported silt fen

27、ce with elongation $ 50 % shall also have amaximum post spacing of 1.2 m (4 ft). Unsupported silt fencewith elongation 50 % shall have a maximum post spacing of2 m (6.5 ft).8. Related Material Requirements8.1 Wood, steel, or synthetic support posts having a mini-mum length of 1 m (3.3 ft) plus the b

28、urial depth may be used.They shall be of sufficient strength to resist damage duringinstallation and to the support applied loads due to materialbuild up behind the silt fence.NOTE 1It has been found that hardwood posts having dimensions ofat least 30 by 30 mm (1.2 by 1.2 in), No. 2 Southern Pine at

29、 least 65 by65 mm (2.5 by 2.5 in) or steel posts of UTL or C shape, weighing 600 gper 300 mm (1.3 lb/ft) have performed satisfactorily.8.2 Wire or polymer support fence shall be at least 750 mm(2.5 ft) high and strong enough to support applied loads.Polymer support fences shall meet the same ultravi

30、olet degra-dation requirements as the geotextile.NOTE 2Wire support fence having at least 6 horizontal wires, andbeing at least 14 gage wire have performed satisfactorily.
