Hart Crowser <br /> J-3446-01 <br /> ► Anticipate about 1 inch of total settlement and '/�-uuh differential <br /> settlement of a slab with a sustained loading of 125 ps£ The slab- <br /> induced setclement will be shart term. <br /> ► Any so�7 that is to be considered as capillary break material should <br /> be submitted for fines content analysis. <br /> Retaining T�'all Design <br /> Figure Z shows truck loading and tuiloading on the south side of the <br /> warehousc. This section on ret..i:iing wall design is applicable if truck <br /> wells are used in this ar�a. <br /> Structural Design. For retaining walls bac;�lled on one side only, thc <br /> structural engneer can estimate the latera] ioad and resistance on the <br /> wa11s using an equivalent fluid to represent the soi7. We make the <br /> following recommendations for walls with compacted backfill placed <br /> above the water table: <br /> ► For a yielding wall (active horizontal so� pressure coef6cient) w�th <br /> lcvel backfill, the equivalent fluid weight of the so�7 is 35 pc£ We <br /> define the yieiding wall as one where the top moves, when loaded, at <br /> le:ut 0.1 percent of iu heigh� <br /> ► For a non-yielding wall (at-rest horizontal soIl pressure coefficient) <br /> with ]evel back�fill, the equivalent fluid weight is 55 pc£ <br /> Note that the equivalent fluid weieht does not consider any surface <br /> loading condidons. Estimate the ]ateral loads resulting from surface <br /> area surcharges as 35 percent of the surface load for a yielding wall <br /> and 50 percent for a non-yieiding wall. <br /> Drainuge Design. Place 13 inches of well-graded sand and gravel w�th <br /> less than 3 percent fines behind all retaining walls and subgrade walls. <br /> Pavement Design . <br /> We mal:e the following recommendations concerning pavement design: <br /> ► Use a CBR value of 15 percent for design of pavement sections; <br /> Pag� 1 <br />
