COBALT GEOSCIENCES GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION EVERETT, WASHINGTON December 5, 2019 The subgrade should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM Test Method D1557. In place density tests should be performed to verify proper moisture content and adequate compaction. ections are based on design CBR and modulus of The recommended flexible and rigid pavement s subgrade reaction (k) values that are achieved, only following proper subgrade preparation. It should be noted that subgrade soils that have relatively high silt contents will likely be highly sensitive to moisture conditions. The subgrade strength and performance characteristics of a silty subgrade material may be dramatically reduced if this material becomes wet. Based on our knowledge of the proposed project, we expect the traffic to range from light duty (passenger automobiles) to heavy duty (delivery trucks). The following tables show the recommended pavement sections for light duty and heavy duty use. ASPHALTIC CONCRETE (FLEXIBLE) PAVEMENT Asphaltic Concrete 2.0 in. LIGHT DUTY Aggregate Base* 6.o in.
