CALTRANS
California DOT does not follow AASHTO M 288 for their geotextile specifications. Caltrans geotextile specs are different in that they employ a "toughness" criteria (Percent elongation x grab tensile strength). This can over-ride the rest of the specified properties. US Fabric's geotextile products that meet the California DOT geotextile specification, listed by their application.
