The contractor shall have an approved set of plans and specifications on site <br />at all times during the construction of the wall. The wall layout is the <br />responsibility of the contractor. <br />2. Nelson Geotechnical Associates (NGA) should observe and monitor the <br />construction of the wall. <br />3. The joints between blocks should be staggered. <br />Subgrade Preparation <br />1. The ground should be prepared by removing surficial unsuitahle soil, down to <br />dense, inorganic, native soils as approved by the geotechnical engineer. <br />2. The excavation shall be cleaned of all excess material and protected, as <br />necessary, from construction traffic to maintain the integrity of the subgrade. <br />3. The base of the excavation should be deep enough to satisfy a minimum <br />embedment of "-foot to final grade at the toe of the wall, and should be sloped <br />down toward the cut to provide a batter of 1 H:9V to the face of the wall. <br />Drainage <br />1. A drainage blanket 12 inches in width should be installed directly behind the <br />block facing and shall consist of 2- to 4-inch rock spalls or washed rock. All of <br />the drainage materials shall have a fines content no greater than three percent <br />passing the number 200 sieve. A 4-inch rigid perfo-mled pipe embedded in a <br />minimum of one foot of pea gravel or washed rock and wrapped with filter fabric <br />should be installed at the bottom of the drainage blanket <br />2. Suitable clean -outs should be installed for future ma7ntenance and the drain <br />should be tightlined to daylight with a minimum fall of one percent. <br />Design Parameters <br />Retained Soil: 34 degrees, 0 PSF, 125 PCF <br />Foundation Soil: 34 degrees, 0 PSF, 125 PCF <br />External Stability of Wall <br />Minimum Factor of Safety against Base Sliding: 1.5 <br />Minimum Factor of Safety against Overturning: 2.0 <br />Minimum Factor of Safety against Bearing Capacity: 2.0 <br />Inspection <br />Wall construction shall be periodically inspected under the direction of <br />an engineer registered in the state of Washington with experience in <br />the design of retaining walls. <br />Y <br />U <br />r <br />m <br />W <br />w <br />m <br />5 CD <br />J 6 <br />Z 00 <br />U Lo <br />w <br />0 <br />O <br />cc <br />7i <br />2 <br />7 <br />0) <br />LL <br />
