UFC 3-220-08FA, "Engineering Use of Geotextiles," is an INACTIVE Unified Facilities Criteria document current as of 16 January 2004 [UFC 3-220-08FA]. It supersedes TM 5-818-8 (20 July 1995) and was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency [UFC 3-220-08FA].
The document provides engineering criteria for geotextile selection and application based on soil and hydraulic conditions [AFPAM 10-219 Volume 7 para 2.3.2.3.4]. However, because this UFC is marked INACTIVE, you should consult the active replacement criteria or the official source for current guidance on geotextile engineering use in DoD projects.

Basic Geotextile Construction Sequence. 2.3.2.3.4. Choosing Geotextiles. A wide range of geotextile fabric is available to meet vari- ous soil conditions. Selection of the proper geot extile will depend on the actual soil and hydraulic conditions. The general soil conditions and considerations listed in Table 2.3. should provide some insight into selecting the optimum material. Further infor
