I Swbsurfate Exploration, Geobgic Hazard, and <br /> Sho-ltle Skips Ceruer Addition Preliminary Geottchnica/Engineering Repon <br /> Everea Washington Prelimiwry Design Recommendations <br /> t 12.0 FLOOR SUPPORT CONSIDERATIONS <br /> I Slab-on-grade floors may be used over structural fill or the medium dense to very dense <br /> lodgement till. For design purposes, a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 50 pounds per <br /> i cubic inch (pci) can be used for floor slabs constructed over properly placed and comQacted <br /> l structura! fill. <br /> ISlab-on-grade floors should not be placed on ezisting fill soils. Where moisture migratioa <br /> � throug6 slabs is to be controlled, the floor should be cast atop a minimum of 4 inches of <br /> washed rock or pea gravel to act as a capillary break. The floor should also be protected from <br /> � dampness by an impervious moisture banier at least 10 mils in thickness. <br /> I 13.0 PAVEMENT DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> We anticipate that asphalt paving will be used for the new drive and pazking azeas. Asphalt <br /> I pavement design is a compromise between initial cost and expected design life. In order to <br /> � provide a 20-year design life with normal maintenance, we recommend a pavement section <br /> I consisting of 2'/z inches of asphalt surfacing above 6 inches of crushed surfacing base course, <br /> per WSDOT Standazd Specification 9-03.9[3], above a granular subgrade compacted to at least <br /> 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry densiry, as determined by ASTM:D 1557. <br /> l Areas that will be used for delivery wcks, buses, gazbage trucks, or other heavy vehicles <br /> should be designed using a paving section consisting of 4 inches of Class "B" asphalt above <br /> 6 inches of compacted crushed surfacing base wurse over a 95 percent compacted granular <br /> Isubgrade. <br /> We anticipate that Portland cement concrete (PCC) will be used for walkways and courtyazds. <br /> Wc :xommend a concrete sidewalk and courtyazd section consisting of 4 inches of PCC <br /> � surfacing above a minimum of 4 inches of crushed surfacing top course, per WSDOT Standazd <br /> Specification 9-03.9(3], alwve a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified <br /> i Proctor maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM:� 1557. Areas that will be crossed by <br /> delivery trucks, buses, gazbage uucks, or other heary ��ehicles should be designed using a <br /> I section consisting of at least 6 inches of PCC above a minunum of 8 inches of compacted <br /> crushed surfacing top course above a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent. <br /> I After the azeas to be pave�l aze suipped and/or excavated to pavement subgrade eleaatian, t6e <br /> exposed ground should be compacted to at least 95 percent of ASTM:D 1557, or to a firm a� <br /> unyielding condition, as determined by the geotechnicai engineer or his representative. We <br /> � recommend proof-rolling pavement subgrades that will underlie vehicle traffic with a baded <br /> dump truck to identify any soft or yielding azeas. If required, structural fill may then be <br /> placed to achieve desired subbase grades. Upon completion of the compaction and suuctural <br /> � fill placement, the pavement section for the design level of services can be consavcted. <br /> I <br /> lune 1l, 1008 ASSOC/AlEI)EAR7N SCIENCES,/NC. <br /> i PagC 16 �q) <br /> EG/Id-E[Q901/3A5-ProjtarlZOp602131fE�wP v� <br />
