Geotechnical Engineering Report- Revised lierracon <br /> Proposed CFT Retail Everett,Washington <br /> February 1, 2018 Terracon Project No. 81185002 <br /> MINIMUM HEAVY DUTY-PAVEMENT SECTION FOR TRUCK AREAS <br /> Layer Thickness Compaction/Material <br /> (inches) Specification <br /> 95% of Modified Proctor MDD, -2 to <br /> Compacted Subgrade 24 +2% OMC <br /> Crushed Aggregate Base 6 WSDOT: 9-03.9(3) Base Course <br /> WSDOT: 9-03.8(2) %-inch HMA <br /> Asphalt Surface Course 4 <br /> WSDOT: 9-03.8(6) %-inch Aggregate <br /> Total Pavement Section 10 <br /> The graded crushed aggregate base should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the <br /> material's modified Proctor(ASTM D-1557, Method C)maximum dry density. Where base course <br /> thickness exceeds 8 inches, the material should be placed and compacted in two or more lifts of <br /> equal thickness. <br /> We recommend that a Portland cement concrete pavement(CCP) be utilized in entrance and exit <br /> sections, dumpster pads, loading dock areas, or other areas where extensive wheel maneuvering <br /> or repeated loading are expected. The dumpster pad should be large enough to support the <br /> wheels of the truck which will bear the load of the dumpster. We recommend a minimum of 6 <br /> inches of CCP underlain by 4 inches of crushed aggregate base. Although not required for <br /> structural support, the base course layer is recommended to help reduce potentials for slab curl, <br /> shrinkage cracking, and subgrade "pumping" through joints. Proper joint spacing will also be <br /> required to prevent excessive slab curling and shrinkage cracking. All joints should be sealed to <br /> prevent entry of foreign material and dowelled where necessary for load transfer. <br /> Portland cement concrete should be designed with proper air-entrainment and have a minimum <br /> compressive strength of 4,000 psi after 28 days of laboratory curing. Adequate reinforcement and <br /> number of longitudinal and transverse control joints should be placed in the rigid pavement in <br /> accordance with ACI requirements. The joints should be sealed as soon as possible (in <br /> accordance with sealant manufacturer's instructions)to minimize water infiltration into the soil. <br /> 4.7.4 Pavement Drainage <br /> Pavements should be sloped to provide rapid drainage of surface water.Water allowed to pond on <br /> or adjacent to the pavements could saturate the subgrade and contribute to premature pavement <br /> deterioration. In addition, the pavement subgrade should be graded to provide positive drainage <br /> within the crushed aggregate base section. <br /> We recommend drainage be included at the bottom of the crushed aggregate base layer at the <br /> storm structures to aid in removing water that may enter this layer. Drainage could consist of small <br /> diameter weep holes excavated around the perimeter of the storm structures. The weep holes <br /> should be excavated at the elevation of the crushed aggregate base and soil interface. The <br /> Responsive Resourceful Reliable 19 <br />
