D18 Revised Gabions Standard

ASTM Committee D18 on Soil and Rock has revised standard D7014, “Standard Practice for Assembly and Placement of Double-Twisted Wire Mesh Gabions and Revet Mattresses,” as D7014-10. Gabions and revetment mattresses are used to achieve soil stability and prevent soil erosion and are also used as retaining wall structures to resist movements due to gravity.
