The remaining trench may be backfilled with on-site soils compacted <br /> Ito a non-yielding state. i <br /> I STRUCTURAL FILL <br /> Structural fill is the fill that support structural or traffic load. Structural fill should consist of <br /> Iclean soils free of organics,debris and other deleterious substances,with particles no larger than <br /> four inches. Structural fill should have a moisture content within one percent of its optimum <br /> moisture content at the time of placement. The optimum moisture content is the water content in <br /> the soils that enables the soils to be compacted to the highest dry density for a given compaction <br /> effort. Clean onsite soils meeting the above requirements may be used as structural filL <br /> I Imported material to be us'i as structural fill, should be clean, free-draining, granular soils <br /> containing no more than 5 percent by weight finer than the No.200 sieve based on the fraction;of <br /> the material passing No. 4 sieve,and with individual particles not larger than four inches. <br /> I Fill embankments placed over areas steeper than 20% grade should be structurally supported. <br /> The ground over which structural fill is to be placed should be prepared in accordance with <br /> I recommendations in the SITE PREPARATION AND GENERAL GRADING and <br /> EXCAVATION <br /> AND FILL SLOPES sections of this report. Structural fill should be placed in <br /> Ilifts no more than 10 inches thick in its loose state, with each lift compacted to a minimum <br /> percentage of the maximum dry density determined by ASTM D1557(Modified Proctor Method) <br /> as follows: <br /> IApplication %of Maximum Dry Density <br /> Within building pads of the building lots 95% <br /> Roadway/driveway subgrade 95%for top 3 feet and 90%below <br /> Retaining wall backfill <br /> 92% <br /> IUtility trench backfill 95% for top 4 feet and 90%below <br /> LIU 4 ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
