Recommendations <br /> ' for compaction of structural fill beneath pavements are given <br /> in a later sub-section e�titled GENERAL EARTHWORK AND <br /> $TRUCTURAL FILL. The performance of site pavements is <br /> ' directlY related to the strength and stability of the <br /> underlying subgrade. <br /> The pavement section for lightl y-losded traffic and parking <br /> arees should consist of two (2) inches of asphalt concrete <br /> (AC) over four (4) inches of crushed rock base (CRB) or three <br /> (3) inches of asphalt treated bese (ATB) . We recommend thet <br /> heavily-loaded areas be provided with three (3) inches of AC <br /> over stx (6) inches of CRB or four (4) inches of ATB. The <br /> heavily loaded areas are typically mai � driveways, dumpster <br /> . ereas , loading docks, or areas where truck traffic occurs , <br /> especially wherc trucks often turn. <br /> The pavement section recommendations and guidelines presented <br /> in this report are based on our experience in the area and on <br /> whet has beer, successful in similar situations . Some <br /> maintenance and repair of limited areas can be expected. To <br /> provide for a design without the need for any repair Mould be � <br /> uneconomical . j <br /> EXCAVATIONS AND SLOPES <br /> In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits <br /> specified i � local , state, and national government safety <br /> regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about four (4) feet <br /> in unsaturated soils may be ettempted verticelly. Besed upon <br /> Washington Administrative Code (wAC) 296 , Part N, the soil <br /> type at the site would be clessified as Type e, and therefore I <br /> slopes greater than four (4) feet cannot be excavated steeper <br /> than 1 : 1 (Horizontal :Vertical ) extending continuously between <br /> the top and bottom of the cut. <br /> The ebove recommended temporary slope inclination is based on <br /> what has been successful at other sites having similar soil <br /> conditions . 7emporary cuts are those that will remain <br /> unsupported for a relatively short duration to allow <br /> construction of foundations , retaining walls , or utilities . � <br /> These cut slopes should be backfilled or retained as soon as <br /> i <br /> GEOTECH CONSULTANTS , INC. <br />
