TS ballot to remove definitions and requirements for “enhancement” and “Class 1A” geotextile; to add definitions for geogrid and geotextile; to add references to the AASHTO NTPEP Subgrade Stabilization Work Plan (SSGEO); to add text for “soil” stabilization; to add new Section 12 and Table 12 for geotextile and geogrid requirements for subgrade stabilization (Class 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D) and to replace the previous “enhancement” requirements; to editorially revise Section X1.1.3.1 for better phrasing; and to editorially revise/update language in Section 10.1 and throughout Section X1.6 when referencing asphalt binders, cutback asphalts, emulsified asphalts, and asphalt mixture. Revisions proposed by Mr. Scott Hidden (NC), Chair AASHTO NTPEP TC on Geosynthetics (GTX, REGEO, and SSGEO). Proposed revisions were based on GMA consensus document. Comments received from GA, KS, LA, MO, PA, & VA.
See last row below for this TS Ballot Item.
Georgia: It is recommended that Section 10 - Paving Fabric be (re)moved. Also, please consider the removal of appendix X 1.6.1.1 through 1.6.3.15 for the following reasons: Based on our agency’s bad experience from multiple paving fabric projects, the method dealing with wrinkle has an installation issue in the field. More specifically, all curves section of paving fabric had wrinkle issues since fabric rolls are placed in straight line by a mechanical applicator while the roadway always has curves which caused a lot of wrinkles. The installer cut fabric many times manually during paving and tried to “iron out the wrinkles” without much success. In addition, all paving fabric were picked up by construction equipment and had to be removed later. Even the sections with smoothly installed fabric, the asphalt pavement shows cracks and delamination. Most of time, once the contractor began
TS to discuss. Chair recommends that Section 10 and Appendix X1.6 remain in M 288 due to use by other agencies and local/municipal governments. The Chair recognized the comment by GA. GA stated that the material picks up and causes more harm than good and that it should be removed from M 288. The Chair had recommended to keep it in. PA has had similar experiences as GA but municipalities use this so should leave it in. Clark Morrison (NC) and Ken Seward (OK) recommended to leave it in. Fred Chuck (GMS) stated that GMA has an Interlayer Task Force that would be willing to make some suggestions to update the Paving Fabric section.

overlaying the fabric with asphalt, it was observed that the fabric was being picked by paving equipment’s tires, such as trucks, and materials transfer device (MTV). The fabric manufacturer’s field rep had the contractor throw asphalt on the fabric in front of the paving equipment tries to prevent pick up (the procedure as stated in the appendix X 1.6). But as we know, this is normally considered to be improper paving practices because the asphalt compacted by the paving equipment tires in front of the pavers screed contributed to inconsistent compaction and bad ride (a smoothness issue). Further inspection of those paving fabric projects revealed cracks and tears in the finished mat. This was most likely caused by the fabric not adhering to the wrinkled surface of the fabric and blemishes left in the fabric by construction equipment. Because the paver had to sit for an extending amount of time while the fabric was being cut and removed manually, the asphalt mix in the hopper was allowed to cool prior to placement. This chilled asphalt caused surface blemished in the mat. In summary, the paving fabric DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD to asphalt pavement quality.
Decision made to leave Paving Fabric in M 288 for now.
Kansas: 2.2 ASTM D4884 can be removed as it is no longer referenced in this specification
The Chair agreed and removed ASTM D4884/D4884M from Section 2.2 as ASTM D4884/D4884M was referenced in Table 6 (now proposed to be deleted).
Louisiana: As the current version includes Class 1 as the highest and Class 3 as the lowest strength, will including Class 4 for some of the strongest materials lead to confusion, or is it just an arbitrary number? I don't have any definite solution except to refer to the category as something other than "4". Perhaps Class S or Class ST. We've used the Class 1 - 3 for so long, I don't recommend renumbering the original classes.
The Chair recognized LA comment (on the left) and it was discussed. LA spoke that they use a different lettering system and they didn’t have a major concern with the new numbering system but just wanted to discuss it. With no one bringing up any concerns, the Chair indicated the existing and proposed geotextile classes will remain and be moved forward.
Missouri: Affirmative with one editorial comment:
The Chair agreed and the editorial change was made.

1) On Page 16, Table 12, the description over the Classes (i.e. 4A, 4B, 4C & 4D) states the following: "Geosynthetic Classa, b and Types" It appears the lower case letters 'a' and 'b' need to be superscript.
Pennsylvania: 1) PennDOT will continue to follow PennDOT Publication 408, Section 735 (Geotextiles) and Section 738 (Geogrids) for geosynthetics and not adopt M 288.
PA comment was reviewed. No action required. They will continue to use the PA specification.
Virginia: I suggest voting yes. However, please address the following question: As for the wide tensile strength for geogrid, the draft section (12.3) has "Values for Geogrid Wide Width Tensile Strength are the sum of the values for the wide width tensile strengths in the machine and cross machine direction." Why is the sum value used in classifying the different classes of geogrid? Geotextile uses tensile strength in the weakest principal direction... Is there any reason that the sum value instead of the weakest value should be used for geogrid? Also, please see below a minor editorial change that we are proposing: 12.1 - change "coincident functions" to dual primary functions (to be consistent with the change made in 8.4.1
The Chair recognized VA comment regarding Section 12.3: The sum value came from the GMA Consensus Specification for Geogrid Subgrade Stabilization. Scott Hidden (NC) noted this was taken from the Stabilization document. Fred Chuck (GMA) stated they were trying to make sure that it was not an unbalanced grid. John Lostumbo stated he was on the GMA TF and while it seems strange they agreed on the sum value for wide width tensile strength and minimum Tensile Strength at 2% strain so it was balanced. Scott Hidden (NC) stated they could ask the GMA if there would be an issue with revising this to a minimum Wide Width Tensile Strength in the weakest direction. Chuck stated they could ask. The min Tensile Strength at 2% strain was in the consensus document. John Lostumbo (Tencate) stated the sum value and the Tensile Strength at 2% strain was published in the 2018 property tables. The Chair addressed this part of VA Comments stating Section 12.1 is not exactly the same as Section 8.4.1. Section 8.4.1 is for soil stabilization with geotextiles only; whereas,

Section 12.1 is both geogrids and geotextiles, so the wording doesn't seem like it can be exactly the same. After some discussion, it was decided to keep language as proposed in Section 12.1.
M 288 overall The Chair asked how the TS wanted to proceed with M 288. MO motioned to move forward as a COMP Ballot since there were no negatives. There was some discussion on a possible change to the sum value language. Discussion by Scott Hidden (NC) indicated he was not opposed but to ask the GMA about min sum values and corresponding tensile strength at 2% strain. AASHTO recommended a possible amended motion to incorporate a change if warranted. MO amended the motion to send to COMP Ballot if no change, Concurrent Ballot if there is a change. OK seconded. Scott Hidden (NC) mentioned that VA comment on sum value is valid. GMA can provide comments on this after the meeting. Scott Hidden (NC) also indicated that the last sentence in the proposed Section 12.3 should be moved to a table footnote if the sum value language remains. The Chair agreed. Tony Allen (WA) agreed with NC, the sum value is unusual for geogrids but not geotextiles. This does not appear to be what GMA wants to accomplish. Tony also agreed that last sentence in proposed Section 12.3 should be a table footnote. Motion passed. Fred Chuck stated they will review and have an answer by mid to end of August. Post Annual Meeting: In an email from Fred Chuck dated 8/20/2020,

Fred Chuck stated “The GMA Focus Groups discussed your request and drafted the response. After review, the GMA Executive Council has approved the language below. The GMA Geogrid Standard Specification for Geogrid for Subgrade Stabilization Applications was the result of the GMA Geogrid Focus group (GGFG) working to develop a consensus document representing all participating members. One area of compromise was the ultimate tensile strength requirement. In order to define distinct geogrid classes given the wide range of machine and cross machine strengths and multiple aperture shapes in the market, it was agreed to use a cumulative value. This was based on an evaluation of a comprehensive database of geogrid styles and strength properties. The focus group agreed that using a MD + CD cumulative value for ultimate but a minimum principle direction value for the 2% strength avoided the potential for a uniaxial material or something with a very low strength in one direction from being used and produces three distinct classes each representing a different level of survivability. We understand that this was a novel approach and appreciate the points/concerns raised by the members during the AASHTO TS 4e meeting. Still, all manufactures/suppliers report MARV strengths in both the machine-direction (MD) and the cross machine-direction (CD) so simply adding the readily available MD and CD values should not be an issue in the market and will assure that M288 reflects the consensus views of industry. Nonetheless, should the members of TS 4e have a strong preference for specifying MARV ultimate strength in the minimum principle direction instead of the cumulative machine direction and cross machine direction MARV strength, the GMA GGFG would

welcome the opportunity to participate in determining the appropriate specification values. To this end, the GMA GGFG recommends the use of the following minimum principle direction MARV values: 26 kN/m, 18 kN/m and 12 kN/m for 4B, 4C and 4D, respectively. FYI, two independent comments regarding the language were received with the review responses and are included here for your consideration: “Would like to propose there is language stating that a separation geotextile should be used in combination with any geogrids. If AASHTO will accept a recommendation, a Class 2 or 3 nonwoven should be used.” “… supports the expression of the Ultimate values being expressed as Marv values, in the weakest principle direction. This is consistent with all other Marv values on table 12 and indeed with M288.””

to add text for “soil” stabilization; to add new Section 12 and Table 12 for geotextile and geogrid requirements for subgrade stabilization (Class 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D) and to replace the previous “enhancement” requirements; to editorially revise Section X1.1.3.1 for better phrasing; and to editorially revise/update language in Section 10.1 and throughout Section X1.6 when referencing asphalt binders, cutback asphalts, emulsified asphalts, and asphalt mixture. Revisions proposed by Mr. Scott Hidden (NC), Chair AASHTO NTPEP TC on Geosynthetics (GTX, REGEO, and SSGEO). Proposed revisions were based on GMA consensus document. Comments received from GA, KS, LA, MO, PA, & VA.
Georgia: It is recommended that Section 10 - Paving Fabric be (re)moved. Also, please consider the removal of appendix X 1.6.1.1 through 1.6.3.15 for the following reasons: Based on our agency’s bad experience from multiple paving fabric projects, the method dealing with wrinkle has an installation issue in the field. More specifically, all curves section of paving fabric had wrinkle issues since fabric rolls are placed in straight line by a mechanical applicator while the roadway always has curves which caused a lot of wrinkles. The installer cut fabric many times manually during paving and tried to “iron out the wrinkles” without much success. In addition, all paving fabric were picked up by construction equipment and had to be removed later. Even the sections with smoothly installed fabric, the asphalt pavement shows cracks and delamination. Most of time, once the contractor began overlaying the fabric with asphalt, it was observed that the fabric was being picked by paving equipment’s tires, such as trucks, and materials transfer device (MTV). The fabric manufacturer’s field rep had the contractor throw asphalt on the fabric in front of the paving equipment tries to prevent pick up (the procedure as stated in the appendix X 1.6). But as we know, this is normally considered to be
TS to discuss. Chair recommends that Section 10 and Appendix X1.6 remain in M 288 due to use by other agencies and local/municipal governments.

improper paving practices because the asphalt compacted by the paving equipment tires in front of the pavers screed contributed to inconsistent compaction and bad ride (a smoothness issue). Further inspection of those paving fabric projects revealed cracks and tears in the finished mat. This was most likely caused by the fabric not adhering to the wrinkled surface of the fabric and blemishes left in the fabric by construction equipment. Because the paver had to sit for an extending amount of time while the fabric was being cut and removed manually, the asphalt mix in the hopper was allowed to cool prior to placement. This chilled asphalt caused surface blemished in the mat. In summary, the paving fabric DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD to asphalt pavement quality.
Kansas: 2.2 ASTM D4884 can be removed as it is no longer referenced in this specification
Agree. Removed ASTM D4884/D4884M from Section 2.2 as ASTM D4884/D4884M was referenced in Table 6 (now deleted).
Louisiana: As the current version includes Class 1 as the highest and Class 3 as the lowest strength, will including Class 4 for some of the strongest materials lead to confusion, or is it just an arbitrary number? I don't have any definite solution except to refer to the category as something other than "4". Perhaps Class S or Class ST. We've used the Class 1 - 3 for so long, I don't recommend renumbering the original classes.
TS to discuss. Chair recommends keeping as Class 4.
Missouri: Affirmative with one editorial comment: 1) On Page 16, Table 12, the description over the Classes (i.e. 4A, 4B, 4C & 4D) states the following: "Geosynthetic Classa, b and Types" It appears the lower case letters 'a' and 'b' need to be superscript.
Agree. Editorial change made.
Pennsylvania: 1) PennDOT will continue to follow PennDOT Publication 408, Section 735
No action required.

(Geotextiles) and Section 738 (Geogrids) for geosynthetics and not adopt M 288.
Virginia: I suggest voting yes. However, please address the following question: As for the wide tensile strength for geogrid, the draft section (12.3) has "Values for Geogrid Wide Width Tensile Strength are the sum of the values for the wide width tensile strengths in the machine and cross machine direction." Why is the sum value used in classifying the different classes of geogrid? Geotextile uses tensile strength in the weakest principal direction... Is there any reason that the sum value instead of the weakest value should be used for geogrid? Also, please see below a minor editorial change that we are proposing: 12.1 - change "coincident functions" to dual primary functions (to be consistent with the change made in 8.4.1
Section 12.3: The sum value came from the GMA Consensus Specification for Geogrid Subgrade Stabilization. Section 12.1: TS to consider this revision. Section 12.1 is not exactly the same as Section 8.4.1. Section 8.4.1 is for soil stabilization with geotextiles only, whereas, Section 12.1 is both geogrids and geotextiles, so the wording doesn't seem like it can be exactly the same.
