Mr. Mel Konsmo E-7548 <br /> January 14, 1997 Page 2 <br /> Geogrid Length - feet <br /> Wall Height Number of Geogrid Layers (from back of wall) <br /> s <br /> 6 3 5 <br /> 6 <br /> 1 5 7 <br /> ' - Geogrid should consist of Tensar UX1400, or equal <br /> 2 - Geogrid should consist of Tensar UX1500, or equal <br /> This design includes a 100 pound per square foot (psf) surcharge for traffic loading. <br /> The Keystone Blocks, geogrids, drainage a��d wall backfill should be placed in strict <br /> accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The wall backfill may consist <br /> of the on-site poorly graded sand with silt soil. The backfill should be compacted to <br /> at ieast 90 percent maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM D-1557, Modified <br /> Proctor. <br /> Due to the relatively steep slope below the proposed wall alignment, in our opinion, <br /> the wall should be founded on a concrete footing rather than the typical crushed rock <br /> layer. The footing should be founded at least one foot into competent native soils. <br /> A representative from our firm should be on-site during the excavation for the wall <br /> footing to verify competent bearing soils are present. We should also be on-site to <br /> observe and test the compaction of the wali backfill. <br /> Grades above the �+all should provide for positive drainage away from the wail. In no <br /> case should surface water be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the top of the wall. <br /> Eenh Cnnuknta, Ine. <br />
