The slab-on-pr�de should be founded on prerolled or compacted nativs <br /> pround w structunl �ill compsctsd m 80 percsnt density IASTM:D 15571. Ws rocommend that ths <br /> floor slab bs underlafn by a 6-inch thickness of weshed praval, crushed rock, or pea pravel conaininp <br /> ^ Isu than 6 psresnt fines based on that soil haction pauinp ths U.S. No. 4 Sieve. This I�yar oi <br /> pranular fill is intended to serve a� � capill�ry break and workin0 surtacs. An imperviout moisture <br /> — b�rriar should also be plaeed bensath the slab. <br /> _ T�mponry �nd P�rmwnnt Cut Slopa� <br /> Tempor�ry tlops st�bility is a function of many faetors, includinp the followinp: <br /> 1. tha presenca and abundanca of proundwater; <br /> 2. ths type �nd density of the vorious soil strata; <br /> '" 3. the depth of cut; <br /> ' 4. surchvpe loadinps �djacent to the exeavation; <br /> 5. ths IsnOth of time the exeavation remains open. <br /> • ' „� It is excssdin0ly difficuh undar the variable circumsune¢s to pre-establish a safs and <br /> ( , w 'maintenanca•frse' temporary cut slops anple. Tharefore, it should be the reepontibility of the <br /> contractor to m�intain safe slope confipuration: since the contractor ic continuously at Me job site, <br /> � able to observe ths neture and eondition of the cut slopes, and able to monitor the subsurfaee <br /> � m�terialt and ptoundwater conditione ancountered. At this particular site, we anticipate the2 ths <br /> ' proundwater eonditions may sipnific�ntly influence temporary eut alope a�pies. We recommend usinp <br /> ' meaeures such ae berms at the tope of slopes and drapinp temporary slopes with ptastie to protaM the <br /> slopes hom the elemenu and minimize slouphinp and erosion durin0 wet weather or wet sits <br /> � eonditiona. We do not recommend vertical slopes or cuu hipher than 4 feet if worker access is <br /> � <br /> neceasary. The cuts should be�dequetely sloped or supported to prevent injury to personnel from local <br /> slouphinp and cpaliinp. The excavation should conform to applicable Federal, State, and local <br /> ^ re0ulations. For preliminary pla�ninp purposes,we estimate that a temporary slope inciination of about <br /> 1H:7V to 1.5H:1V (Ho��eonial:Verticap may be feasible within the native site soils, within the <br /> � recommended buildinp area indicated on Fipure 1. We recommend minimizinp excavations and <br /> ' earthwork outside the recommended buildinp area. All fillinp and excavations outside the <br /> " recommended buildinp area should be reviewed by a peotechnical enpineer prior to construction. <br /> ,w L�� A G R P. <br /> Ear,;;a Erviror�mental Group <br />
