For design purposes, a vertical modulus of subgrade reaction of 50 pounda p� <br /> cubic inch (p��) can be used for floor slabs co��siNcted over properly piaced and comp <br /> structural fill. <br /> Slab-on-grade floors should not be placed on existing fill soils. Where moisture migration <br /> through slabs is to be controlled, the floor sboe� bT6e fl otr�phould a oube protected fr m <br /> wasbed rcek or pea gravel to act as a c:apillary <br /> dampness by an impervious moisture bazrier at least 10 mils ir. �hickness <br /> 13.0 PAVEMENT DESICiN RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> We anticipate that asphalt paving will be used for the new drive and pazking azeas. Asphalt <br /> 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 /> consisdng 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 compac:ed to at Ieast <br /> 95 percent of the modified Proctor ma�cimum d►Y density, as determined bY A3TM:D 1557. <br /> Areas that will be used for delivery trucks, buses, gazbage trucks, or other heavy vehicles <br /> 6 inches of�compacted �ushedlsurfaccmg baescour eoover a 95 percelntscompacted granu�u <br /> subgrade. <br /> We anticipate that Porcland cement concrete (PCC) will be used for walkways and courtyards. <br /> We recommend a concrete sidewalk and courtyazd section consisting eT WSDOT Standazd <br /> surfacing above a nunimuu� of 4 inches of crushed surfacing top course, p <br /> Specification 9-03.9(3], above a subgrade compacted to at least 95 percent of che modified <br /> Proctor maximum dry densiry, as determined by ASTM:D 1557.

We <br /> recommend proof-rolling pavement subgrades that will underlie vehicle traffic with a loaded <br /> g,unp truck to identify any soft or yielding areas. If required, structural fill may then be <br /> placed to achieve desired subbase grades. Upon completion of the compaction and structural <br /> fill placement, the pavement secdon for the design level of services can be constructed. <br /> ASSOC7ATED EAR771 SCIENCES.!N�• <br /> �w,e 1�, 2003 Page 16 <br /> Fr;nC-EF.Md173A3-P�olerl�2CtlB�2i3�� <br />
