A yreater thickness may be nee�ted t� <br /> stabilize soft, wet or unstable areas. 1'he upper twelve ( 12 ) <br /> inches of pavemrnt subgrade should bE: compacted to at leasC 95 <br /> percent of. the m.-�xirnum r3ensity . Hel�w this level a compactive <br /> eEfort of 90 percent would be adequate. The pavement section for <br /> lightly loaded trafEic and parking areas should consist of two <br /> inche.s of asphalt concrete over four inches of crushed rock base <br /> or three inches oE asphalt treated base (ATB ) . Heavier loaded <br /> areas would require thick2r sections. We will be pli.ased to <br /> assist yoU in develupiny appropriate pavement sectiuns or <br /> specxfications for heavy traffic zones, iE needed, <br /> Site Yreparation and General Earthwork <br /> The buildi.ny and pavement areas should be stripped and cleared <br /> of. all slabs, existing pavements, trees, existiny utilities, <br /> surface vegetation, all oryanic matl-er and any oCher deleterious <br /> �'aaterial. Stripped mat:erials should be removed from th� site or <br /> stockpiled for later use in landscapinn„ if desircd. The stripped <br /> materials should not be mixed with any materials co be used as <br /> structural fill. Structural fill is defined as a.ny fill placed <br /> under buildings, roa.dways, slabs, pavements, or any other load <br /> beariny areas. <br /> S_,��otural fill _ unde_r___fla�r slabs and footings_ _sl�u1�__.-be <br /> laced in horizontal lifts and com � � <br /> p pacted to a minir�i��^, 9S--j>ar-cenY..- <br /> oE the maximum dry oensity in accordance with ASTi^ 'fest Designz- <br /> tion D-1S57-70 (ModiEied Proctor) . The fill matierials should be <br /> placed at or near the optimum moisture content . Fill undeC <br /> ��avements afid walks should also be placed in horizontal lifts and <br /> coinpacted to 90 percent of maximum density except for the top <br /> twelve ( 12) inches which should be compacted to 95 percent o£ <br /> maximum density. <br /> The moisture content of the on-site soils at the time of our <br /> exploration was above optimum. In addition, soils encountered <br /> cr�ntain an appreciable amount of fines . Therefore, unless the <br /> moisture content can be reduced, it may be necessary to use <br /> im�orted yranular soil as structural fill . The moisture content <br /> can be reduced by aeration in dry weather or using lime or cement <br /> �`.:abilization. Ideally, structural fill to be placed in wet <br /> �aeather should consist of a yranular material with a maximum �ize ` <br /> ��f three inches and no more than 5 percent fines passing the No. <br /> 20U sieve. Duriny dry weather, any compacCible non-•organic soil <br /> can be used as structural f 11. <br /> Earth Consultants, Inc <br />
