PROPOSED LIBERTY HALL,EVERETT COMMUNITY COLLEGE r Everett,Washington <br /> A.4-inch;diameter perforated drain pipe should be installed within the free-draining material at the <br /> base of each wall. We recommend using either heavy-wall solid pipe (SDR-35 PVC) or rigid <br /> corrugated polyethylene pipe (ADS N-12, or equal). We recommend against using flexible tubing <br /> for the wall drain pipe. The footing drain recommended above can be incorporated into the bottom <br /> of the drainage zone and used for this purpose. <br /> The pipes should be laid with minimum slopes of one-quarter percent and discharge into the storm <br /> water collection system to convey the water off site. The pipe installations should include a <br /> cleanout riser with cover located at the upper end of each pipe run. The cleanouts could be placed <br /> in flush mounted access boxes. Collected downspout water should be routed to appropriate <br /> discharge points in separate pipe systems. <br /> Pavement Recommendations <br /> Subgrade Preparation <br /> We recommend the subgrade soils in new pavement areas be prepared and evaluated as <br /> described in the "Earthwork" section of this report. We recommend placing a 12-inch thick <br /> imported gravel borrow subbase layer below the pavement sections described below. If the <br /> subgrade soils are excessively loose or soft, it may be necessary to excavate localized areas and <br /> replace them with additional gravel borrow or gravel base material. Pavement subgrade conditions <br /> should be observed and proof-rolled during construction and prior to placing the subbase materials <br /> in order to evaluate the presence of unsuitable subgrade soils and the need for over-excavation <br /> and placement of a geotextile separator. <br /> New Hot Mix Asphalt(HMA)Pavement <br /> In light-duty pavement areas (e.g., automobile parking), we recommend a pavement section <br /> consisting of at least a 3-inch thickness of 1-inch HMA(PG 58-22) per WSDOT Sections 5-04 and <br /> 9-03,over a 4-inch thickness of densely compacted crushed rock base course per WSDOT Section <br /> 9-03.9(3). In heavy-duty pavement areas (e.g., truck traffic areas, materials delivery)around the <br /> building, we recommend a pavement section consisting of at least a 4-inch thickness of 1/2-inch <br /> HMA (PG 58-22) over a 6-inch thickness of densely compacted crushed rock base course. The <br /> base course should be compacted to •at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density <br /> (ASTM D 1557). We recommend that a proof-roll of the compacted base course be observed by a <br /> • <br /> representative from our firm prior to paving. Soft or yielding areas observed during proof-rolling <br /> may require over-excavation and replacement with compacted structural fill. <br /> The pavement sections recommended above are based on our experience. Thicker asphalt <br /> sections may be needed based on the actual subgrade conditions,traffic data and intended use. <br /> Portland Cement Concrete Pavement <br /> Portland cement concrete (PCC) sections should be considered for loading dock aprons, trash <br /> dumpster areas and where other concentrated heavy loads may occur. We recommend that these <br /> pavements consist of at least 6 inches of PCC over 6 inches of crushed surfacing base course. A <br /> thicker concrete section may be needed based on the actual traffic data. If the concrete pavement <br /> will have doweled joints, we recommend that the concrete thickness be increased by an amount <br /> GEOENGINEERS� June 10,2010 _ Page 19 <br /> File No.5836-010-00 <br />
