' COBALT <br /> GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION GEOSCIENCES <br /> EVERETT,WASHINGTON <br /> December 3,2019 <br /> The recommended flexible and rigid pavement sections are based on design CBR and modulus of <br /> subgrade reaction(k)values that are achieved, only following proper subgrade preparation. It should be <br /> noted that subgrade soils that have relatively high silt contents will likely be highly sensitive to moisture <br /> conditions. The subgrade strength and performance characteristics of a silty subgrade material may be <br /> dramatically reduced if this material becomes wet. <br /> Based on our knowledge of the proposed project,we expect the traffic to range from light duty(passenger <br /> automobiles) to heavy duty (delivery trucks). The following tables show the recommended pavement <br /> sections for light duty and heavy duty use. <br /> ASPHALTIC CONCRETE(FLEXIBLE)PAVEMENT <br /> LIGHT DUTY <br /> Asphaltic Concrete Aggregate Base* Compacted Subgrade* ** <br /> 2.0 in. 6.o in. 12.0 in. <br /> HEAVY DUTY <br /> Asphaltic Concrete Aggregate Base* Compacted Subgrade*** <br /> 3.o in. 6.0 in. 12.0 in. <br /> •PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE(RIGID)PAVEMENT <br /> Mina PCC Depth Aggregate Base* Compacted Subgrade* ** <br /> 6.0 in. 6.o in. 12.0 in. <br /> *95%compaction based on ASTM Test Method D1557 <br /> **A proof roll may be performed in lieu of in place density tests <br /> The asphaltic concrete depth in the flexible pavement tables should be a surface course type asphalt,such <br /> as Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) 1/2 inch HMA. The rigid pavement design is <br /> based on a Portland Cement Concrete(PCC)mix that has a 28 day compressive strength of 4,00o pounds <br /> per square inch (psi). The design is also based on a concrete flexural strength or modulus of rupture of <br /> 55o psi. <br /> 9 <br /> PO Box 82243 <br /> Kenmore,WA 98028 <br /> cobaltgeor gma l.com <br /> 206-331-1097 <br />
