GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY <br />Taco Bell Corporation <br />April 29, 1993 <br />=u�i <br />E-6140 <br />Page 9 <br />The adequacy of site pavements is related in par to the condition of the underlying subgrade. <br />To provide a properly prepared subgrade for pavements, we recommend the subgrade be <br />treated and prepared as described in the Site Pr�paration section of this report. This means <br />that at least the top tweive (12) inches of the subgrade should be compacted to 95 percent <br />of the maximum dry density (per ASTM D-1557-78). It is possiblct that some localized areas <br />of soft, wet or unstable subgrade may still exist after this process. Therefore, a greater <br />thickness of structural fill or crushed rock may be needed to ;:tabilize these Iocallzed areas. <br />The following pavement sections are recommended for lightly-loaded areas consisting of <br />parking stalls experiencing daily traffic of 100 cars: <br />• Two inches of Asphalt Concrete (AC) over four inches of Crushed Rock Base (CRB) <br />material, or <br />• Two inches of AC over three inches of Asphalt Treated Base (ATB) material. <br />The following pavement sections are recommended for heavier traffic areas consisting of <br />roadways subjected to a minimum daily traffic of 1,000 cars and five applications of 18,000- <br />pound single-axle load trucks: <br />� Three inches of AC over six inches of CRB, or <br />• Two inches of AC over four inches of ATB. <br />Asphaitic Cement (AC), Asphalt Treated Base (ATB�, and Crush�3d Rock Base (CRB) matgriais <br />should conform 4o WSDOT specifications. All rock base should be compacted to at least 95 <br />percent of the ASTM D-1557-78 laboratory test standard. It should be noted that parking stall <br />pavement sections assume no truck traffic. In addition, the above pavement sections are <br />based on a 10-year desig� period. <br />It is recommended that concret� slabs which are placed directl�� over a native soil subgrade <br />and are subject to vehicle traffic loads be at least six inchss in thickness. It is also suggested <br />that nominal reinforcement such as "6x6-10/10" welded wire mesh be employed, at near <br />midpoint, in new exterior concrete slabs and paving. <br />Earth Consultants, Inc. <br />
