GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY <br />McDonald's Corporation E-6893-1 <br />June 9, 1995 Page 10 <br />Pavement Areas <br />The adequacy of site pavements is related in part to the condition of the underlying <br />subgrade. To provide a properly prepared subgrade for pavements, we recommend <br />the subgrade be treated and prepared as described in the Site Preparation and Grading <br />section of this report. This means at least the top twelve (12) inches of the <br />subgrade should be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum dry density (per <br />ASTM 1557-78). It is possible that some localized areas of soft, wet or unstable <br />subgrade may still exist after this process. Therefore, a greater thickness of structural <br />fill or crushed rock may be needed to stabilize these localized areas. <br />We recommend the following pavement section for lightly loaded areas: <br />• Two inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over four inches of Crushed Rock Base <br />(CRB) material, or <br />• Two inches of AC over three inches of Asphalt Treated Base (ATB) material. <br />Heavier truck -traffic areas will require thicker sections depending upon site usage, <br />pavement life and site traffic. As a general rule, the following sections may be <br />considered for truck -trafficked areas: <br />• Three inches of AC over six inches of CRB, or <br />• Three inches of AC over four inches of ATB. <br />Asphalt Concrete (AC), Asphalt Treated Base (ATB), and Crushed Rock Base (CRB) <br />materials should conform to WSDOT specifications. All rock base should be <br />compacted to at least 95 percent of the ASTM D-1557-78 laboratory test standard. <br />It should be noted that parking stall pavement sections assume no truck traffic. <br />Emth Ctauuhanta, Inc. <br />
