About this file
This is a Geotechnical Investigation and Pavement Design Report prepared by B2Z Engineering, LLC for Rummel, Klepper & Khal, LLP (RK&K) on behalf of Williamson County, Texas for the Ronald Reagan Boulevard Segment D1 Project. The project encompasses the construction of a new 2-lane asphalt roadway with 12-foot lanes, shoulders, turn lanes, and intersection improvements adjacent to an existing roadway, overlay and restriping of the existing roadway, and a new overpass at RM 2338 with approach embankments and retaining walls. The investigation included subsurface exploration consisting of two bridge borings drilled to 50 feet, four retaining wall borings drilled to 25 feet, and eight pavement borings drilled to 15 feet below natural ground. All boring locations were surveyed using GPS and staked by the client. The soil borings were performed in accordance with ASTM procedures using a truck-mounted drilling rig equipped with automatic hammer and solid stem augers. Texas Cone Penetration tests were conducted at five-foot depth intervals, and soil samples were collected for laboratory testing to determine moisture content, plasticity index, particle size analysis, and soil classification per the Unified Soil Classification System.
The geotechnical analysis characterized subsurface soils as a variety of poorly graded sand, clayey sand, sandy clays, and shale, with no groundwater encountered during drilling operations. Subgrade soil samples were classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System and tested for Atterberg Limits and minus 200 sieve analysis to verify soil types and determine subgrade adequacy for pavement applications. The report indicates that site soils generally fell within acceptable limits for stabilization with plasticity indices of 10 or greater. Soil testing for water-soluble sulfate content was performed in accordance with Tex-145-E to assess potential deterioration risks to buried concrete structures. The report provides deep foundation capacity curves for proposed bridge foundations, global stability analysis of proposed retaining walls, flexible pavement design recommendations for the corridor, and general construction considerations including recommendations for drilled shafts, shallow foundations, MSE retaining walls, and embankments.

INTRODUCTION
B2Z Engineering, LLC (B2Z) was contracted by Rummel, Klepper & Khal, LLP (RK&K) under overall client Williamson County, to perform a subsurface geotechnical investigation to assist in the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the proposed Ronald
Reagan Blvd. Segment D1 Project.
This report provides soil boring logs, deep foundation capacity curves, retaining wall analyses, flexible pavement design, and general construction considerations.
GENERAL PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project Description
B2Z is pleased to submit this document presenting our findings as the result of a subsurface geotechnical exploration performed at the request of RK&K. The project site is located within
Williamson County, Texas, approximately 10 miles north of Georgetown, Texas on Ronald
Reagan Blvd. with limits of from just west of RM 2338 to CR 245. It is our understanding that the project involves the construction of a proposed new 2-lane asphalt roadway (with 12’ lanes, shoulders, turn lanes and intersection improvements) adjacent to an existing roadway that will serve as the WB lanes of the ultimate Ronald Reagan Blvd. facility. Additionally, this project will consist of proposed overlay and restriping of the existing roadway. Furthermore, this project will also include a new overpass (adjacent to an existing overpass) at RM 2338 with approach embankments and retaining walls along the north side of the corridor. General site plan sheet/project layout for the proposed structures was provided by the Client and is included in
Appendix F. All foundation and site improvement recommendations as provided in this report are based on the geotechnical properties of the soils and generalized assumptions as noted.
Preliminary assumptions were used; see sections noting assumptions for foundations and walls.
Scope and Limitations of Investigation
This report has been prepared in general accordance with accepted geotechnical engineering practices for the subject project site and the anticipated construction. No specific warranty program or other special standards, except acceptable industry standards were followed during the course of this investigation and analysis. This geotechnical report is intended for use by
RK&K and any direct representatives or affiliates. This geotechnical report may not contain sufficient information for purposes of other parties, or other uses in determining construction means and methods.
The strata, shown on the boring logs (included in Appendix B), represent the subsurface conditions at the boring locations at the time of our investigation. These strata designate approximate boundaries between subsurface materials; however, their actual transition may be gradual or may occur at varying depths. It should be noted that the exploratory borings were performed within the limits of the proposed project as approved and agreed upon by all previously noted parties prior to the commencement of our field operations.
The benchmarks of this geotechnical study are to:
1. explore the general existing subsurface conditions at the site
2. evaluate the relevant engineering properties of the subsurface materials
3. provide deep foundation capacity curves for proposed bridge foundations
4. provide global stability analysis of proposed retaining walls
5. provide flexible pavement design for the corridor
6. provide general recommendations for construction
The scope of this geotechnical engineering study does not include an environmental assessment of the air, soil, rock or water conditions on or adjacent to the site. No environmental opinions are presented in this report. If environmental clearances are needed prior to construction, please contact our offices for assistance in this matter.
EXISTING SURFACE AND SUB-SURFACE CONDITIONS
Site Location / Description
The project site is located within Williamson County, Texas, approximately 10 miles north of
Georgetown, Texas on Ronald Reagan Blvd. with limits of from just west of RM 2338 to CR
245. It is our understanding that the project involves the construction of a proposed new 2-lane asphalt roadway (with 12’ lanes, shoulders, turn lanes and intersection improvements) adjacent to an existing roadway that will serve as the WB lanes of the ultimate Ronald Reagan Blvd.
facility. Additionally, this project will consist of proposed overlay and restriping of the existing roadway. Furthermore, this project will also include a new overpass (adjacent to an existing overpass) at RM 2338 with approach embankments and retaining walls along the north side of the corridor. No clearing was required for site access.
SITE INVESTIGATION
Soil Borings and Laboratory Tests
Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated through the following boring program:
• Two (2) Bridge Borings (designated as B-BRG-#) drilled to a depth of fifty (50) feet below natural ground.
• Four (4) Retaining Wall Borings (designated as B-RW-#) drilled to a depth of twenty-five (25) feet below natural ground.
• Eight (8) Pavement Borings (designated as B-PV-#) drilled to a depth of fifteen (15) feet below natural ground.
The boring locations were drilled at the placements specified by the Client as shown on Figures in Appendix A. Borings were staked in the field utilizing hand held GPS and survey of the locations was provided by the Client (survey location and elevation data provided on the borings in Appendix B). The soil borings were drilled and sampled in general accordance with ASTM
International (American Society for Testing and Materials) procedures ASTM D420 and D1452 using a truck mounted drilling rig equipped with automatic hammer and using solid stem augers.
As part of the drilling procedure, Texas Cone Penetration (TCP) field tests were performed at five (5) foot depth intervals for use in determination of soil strength parameters. TCP tests were executed in compliance with TxDOT test procedures (Tex-132-E, Texas Cone Penetration) and results were reported as blows per increment on the boring logs. A 170 pound hammer was used to drive the conical driving point through three (3) - six inch increments. The first six inch increment (or 12 blows, whichever was reached first), typically referred to as the seating drive, was not included in the blow count as per the test procedure. The number of blows required to drive the sampler through the subsequent two (2) - six inch increments were recorded as the TCP results (and were included on the boring logs in Appendix B). Where very dense or hard material was encountered (resulting in less than 6 inches of movement per 50 blows) the cone was driven for a minimum 100 blows, and the depth of penetration for the first and second 50 blows was recorded as the TCP results.
As part of the sampling procedure, soil samples were collected through auger grab, split spoon
(where possible) & wash rotary sampling during the drilling process (soil sampling was collected at drilling intervals between TCP tests). Representative portions of the samples were identified, packaged, sealed in containers (to reduce moisture loss) and transported to our laboratory for subsequent testing. In the laboratory, each sample was evaluated and visually classified by a member of our Geotechnical Engineering staff. The properties of the strata were evaluated by a series of laboratory index tests (Tex-142-E, Laboratory Classification of Soils for Engineering
Purposes and ASTM D2487, Standard Practice for Classification of Soils for Engineering
Purposes (Unified Soil Classification System)). A summary of the laboratory data and their corresponding depths are presented on the boring logs in Appendix B.
Subsurface Stratigraphy
Based on the results of the field and laboratory sample analyses, the subsurface soils at the project location can be characterized as a variety of poorly graded sand, clayey sand, sandy clays and shale. The soil strata and descriptions are a summarized representation of the site stratigraphy. The lines designating the interfaces between strata on the boring logs represent approximate boundaries. Transitions between strata may be gradual and may occur at varying depths.
Water Strikes
During the drilling operations, water strikes were not encountered at any of the boring locations.
It should be noted that fluctuations in groundwater levels are influenced by variations in rainfall and surface water run-off from season to season. The construction process itself may also cause variations in the groundwater level. If the water level is critical to the construction process, we recommend the Contractor check the subsurface water conditions prior to excavation.
GEOTECHNICAL BORING ANALYSIS
Moisture Content
The moisture content of a soil is defined as the ratio of the weight of the water in the sample to the dry weight of the soil sample. The moisture contents for the samples obtained as part of our geotechnical exploration were performed in compliance with ASTM procedure D2216 (and Tex-
103-E). A comprehensive list of all moisture contents by corresponding depth can be found on the boring logs.
Plasticity Index
The Plasticity Index (PI) is defined as the difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit of a soil. These limits are commonly referred to as the Atterberg limits, which describe the consistency of soils with respect to their varying moisture contents. The plasticity indices for the samples obtained as part of our geotechnical exploration were performed in compliance with
ASTM procedure D4318 (and Tex-104-E thru Tex-106-E). A comprehensive list of all plasticity indices by corresponding depth can be found on the boring logs.
Particle Size Analysis (Determination of Fines Content)
The standard grain size analysis is used to determine the relative proportions of different grain sizes as they are distributed along a range of different sized sieves. The minus 200 sieve analysis is used commonly as a tool for soil classification and identification using the Unified Soils
Classification System. Results for this test are reported as a percentage of soil passing the No.
200 sieve, which has openings 0.075mm wide. The particle size analyses for the samples obtained as part of our geotechnical exploration were performed in compliance with ASTM procedure D1140 (and Tex-111-E). A comprehensive list of all fines contents by corresponding depth can be found on the boring logs.
Subgrade Index Testing & Soil Classification (Pavement)
Subgrade soil samples were tested (from upper portion of Borings B-RW-01 through 04 and
Borings B-PV-01 through 08 for Ronald Reagan Blvd.) to determine the Atterberg Limits
(description of consistency/behavior of soils with respect to varying moisture contents) including the Liquid Limit (LL), Plastic Limit (PL) and Plasticity Index (PI). The PI is defined as the difference between the LL and the PL of a soil (PI = LL-PL). Atterberg Limits testing was completed in accordance with ASTM D4318 (TxDOT Tex-104-E, 105-E and 106-E). In addition, the samples were tested for the minus 200 sieve analysis (percentage of soil passing through (finer than) the No. 200 sieve size – openings of 0.075 mm). Sieve testing was completed in accordance with ASTM D1140 (TxDOT Tex-111-E). In general these tests were utilized to verify existing soil types (verification of visual inspection) and determine subgrade adequacy & suitability for pavement applications. The results of the tests were used to properly classify each subgrade sample in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) as detailed in ASTM D2487 (TxDOT Tex-142-E). The results of the testing are provided on the boring logs in Appendix B. A summary of the results is provided for reference as follows (Table

Based on the information as referenced in the tables, the site soils typically fell within the limits of general stabilization (recommended PI of 10 or greater as referenced from the National Lime
Association and PI of 12 or greater as referenced from the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACOE)).
Sulfate Content of Soil (Concrete Structures)
The presence of high concentrations of water-soluble sulfates (SO4) in soils can be detrimental to concrete structures in direct contact. Concrete exposed to these sulfate rich soils (buried concrete structures, foundations, slabs-on-grade) are vulnerable to deterioration in the form of expansion, cracking and spalling. To detect levels of water-soluble sulfates in the soils, we performed testing on these soils in accordance with Tex-145-E (Determining Sulfate Content in
Soils – Colorimetric Method). Sulfate contents for the Bridge Bores showed sulfate contents of
<100 ppm (no issues anticipated).
Sulfate Content of Soil (Pavement)
To detect levels of water-soluble sulfates in the soils, we performed testing on these soils in accordance with Tex-145-E (Determining Sulfate Content in Soils – Colorimetric Method). In pavement foundations (subgrades), high concentrations of sulfates in soils may cause problems in terms of high levels of swelling and heaving when lime/cement stabilization is introduced.
The reaction is highly chemical based on the combination of Calcium (provided by the addition of lime or cement), Aluminum (a basic chemical unit of clay), Water (utilized for compaction and stabilization reaction) and Sulfates. When soils containing significant amounts of sulfates are combined with typical roadway construction compaction methods (compacting with lime and/or cement and water), the result is the formation of ettringite, a high swelling mineral that is known to cause substantial heaving. The general site specific results are presented in Table 2.

B-RW-01 & B-RW-03 5 <100
B-PV-01 thru B-PV-08 5 <100
Table 2 – Summary of Sulfate Contents *all depths are referenced from existing natural ground
Lime Series Testing (% Lime vs. Soil pH) (Pavement)
Lime stabilization of subgrade soils requires testing to ensure appropriate and adequate lime is added to soil to induce the required stabilization results. The Lime Series Test was utilized to determine these limits in compliance with TxDOT procedure Tex-128-E (Determining Soil pH) and Tex-121-E Part III (Soil-Lime Testing ~ Part III – Determining Stabilization Ability of Lime by Soil pH). The basic test involves taking a sample of soil and measuring initial pH followed by the addition of various incremental percentages of lime (2%, 4%, 6%, etc.) and re-testing pH to establish a relationship. The basic criteria states that the lowest percentage of lime that produces a pH of 12.4 is the minimum lime percentage required to stabilize the soil. At this level cation exchange will occur resulting in modification of the soil particle structure to achieve improved workability and decrease swell and plasticity. The results are as follows in tabular form (see Table 3) and Graphical Form (see Figure 1):

Summary of Subgrade Testing & Design Recommendations (Pavement)
Based on the information contained in the ‘Subgrade Index Testing & Soil Classification’, ‘Sulfate Content Testing’, and ‘Lime Series Testing’ sections of this report; the recommended subgrade treatment is:
• Utilize a recommended 4% lime by weight in the subgrade for soil stabilization
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS & DESIGN
Proposed Project Foundation System Information
The proposed structures to be analyzed for this report will be the proposed Ronald Reagan
Overpass of RM 2338 bridge foundation elements and the proposed MSE retaining wall to be located on the north face of the proposed approach embankment to the overpass. Per coordination, the proposed structure crossings are to be completed using girders supported on deep foundations (drilled shafts) at abutments and bents. Additionally, per coordination, the maximum height of the proposed retaining wall to be used in analysis is to be 25 feet.
Deep Foundation Capacity (Capacity Curves)
Texas Cone Penetration (TCP) test results were used to calculate foundation capacity curves for various deep foundation options. From coordination with Client, deep foundation options for use on this project will include round reinforced concrete drilled shafts. Design curves for four drilled shaft sizes most likely to be used (30-, 36-, 42- & 48-inch diameter) have been provided in Appendix C. Capacity curves were generated through the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) WINCORE software program (version 3.3). The foundation capacities include the effects of point bearing and skin friction to account for total foundation capacity.
The capacity curves were generated incorporating a disregard of the top 10 feet of each boring.
It is imperative for designers to note that the depth of foundation determined by way of the foundation capacity curves provided is a generalized model. Final foundation tip elevations should be determined with engineering judgment and modified based on each individual case.
During final foundation design the foundation designer will need to take into account the final elevation of borings, final elevation of finished grade (groundline) at foundation elements and any additional disregarded depth that may be deemed necessary.
Global Stability Analysis (MSE Retaining Walls)
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls will be utilized on this project at the locations noted in this report. MSE walls consist of a fascia type wall paneling connected to a stabilized earth mass (typically reinforced with metallic straps or grids) providing an overall wall system applicable for fill type situations. These walls are proprietary systems, requiring preparation and submittal of design calculations and shop drawings. The design calculations are based on parameters included in the contract drawings and include calculations of external and internal stability.
This report includes complete Global Stability Analysis as the means to evaluate external wall stability. TxDOT has acknowledged this process and as such generally requires a full Global
Stability Analysis report be provided concluding that proposed retaining walls for projects will meet or exceed the required/desired minimum factor of safety of 1.3 (FS = 1.3). Factor of Safety requirements are as referenced from the 2020 TxDOT Geotechnical Manual.
The Global Stability Analysis of the retaining walls was performed using GSTABL7 with
STEDwin Version 2.005 software program. Analyses were performed on the retaining walls of this project using the Modified Bishop Method of slices for circular surfaces. Input parameters such as shear strength (cohesion and angle of friction) were defined from the results of the TCP testing. Both short-term (undrained) and long-term (drained) conditions were analyzed in accordance with the TxDOT Geotechnical Manual. TCP correlations for undrained parameters were based on the most current TxDOT Geotechnical Manual and supplemented with a
Technical Report from the FHWA and TxDOT titled “Improved Correlation between Texas
Cone Penetrometer Blow Count and Undrained Shear Strength of Soft Clays” where applicable.
Correlations for drained parameters were based on correlation equations of Holtz & Kovacks
(1981), Bjerrum and Simons (1960) and Gibson (1953) and/or TxDOT Geotechnical Manual. A minimum residual cohesion value of 50 pounds per square foot (psf) was incorporated into the long-term (drained) condition models for clayey soils where applicable.
The geometric model of the MSE walls utilized for analysis consisted of maximum vertical wall heights assumed at all boring locations along the proposed wall for a worst case analysis. The maximum wall height included a recommended two (2) foot depth requirement below ‘Existing
Ground’ or ‘Proposed Finished Grade’. The reinforced soil section (consisting of select fill material and earth reinforcements) was modeled as the minimum 70% of the wall height or 8 feet
(whichever was larger). The reinforced soil section was modeled with high cohesion and friction angle to ensure that critical failure planes would not pass through the reinforced section. The embankment behind the reinforced soil section was modeled with a shear strength value of 1,000 pounds per square foot (psf) in the undrained case and phi angle of 27.0 degrees in the drained case (correlating to a general embankment specification of PI = 40 or less). Traffic surcharge loading was incorporated into the modeling considered equivalent to two (2) feet of soil
(approximately 250 psf) placed atop the retaining wall. Piezometric surfaces (groundwater surfaces) were incorporated where applicable. Bearing capacity check was also completed as a function of this analysis and included here (checking to ensure Factor of Safety > 2). The model was analyzed as follows (See Appendix D for Global Stability Runs):
• Retaining Wall Section 1 (RW-1) o The global stability analysis for this wall was completed utilizing a maximum wall height of 25 feet exposed wall height (27 feet with two (2) foot wall embedment).
o The global stability analysis was completed using borings B-RW-01 thru B-RW-
04 (undrained and drained). The resulting critical Factors of Safety (FOS) were equal to 3.30 for the short-term condition (undrained) and 1.83 for the long-term condition (drained).
Flexible Pavement Design (Roadway)
The Pavement Design Report including flexible pavement design, analysis, guidance and recommendations for the proposed pavement designs is included in Appendix E.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Deep Foundation Recommendations (Drilled Shafts)
Drilled Shafts
B2Z recommends all Drilled Shaft construction be in accordance with the requirements of
TxDOT 2024 ‘Standard Specifications for Construction and Maintenance of Highways, Streets and Bridges’, Item 416 – Drilled Shaft Foundations. Contractor should be aware that the use of casing and/or slurry to maintain stable excavations may be necessary. In terms of concrete, we recommend special attention be made to minimum/maximum slump of concrete required for drilled shafts (and requirements of slump retention). If differing site conditions (unanticipated or unusual strata) are encountered during construction, B2Z shall be contacted to provide review and possible re-analysis if so required.
Shallow Foundation Recommendations
B2Z recommends that any Shallow Foundations for structures utilized on this project be constructed in accordance with the requirements of TxDOT 2024 ‘Standard Specifications for
Construction and Maintenance of Highways, Streets and Bridges’, Item 400 – Excavation and
Backfill for Structures. Excavations shall be constructed using methods and equipment that maintain the integrity of subgrade at foundation depths. Care should be taken to prevent excessive disturbance when exposing foundation subgrade layers (bottom of excavations).
Proposed site areas and all areas used to support foundation construction should be stripped of all vegetation, organic topsoil and other miscellaneous debris up to a minimum of one (1) foot beyond the proposed site perimeters. Upon completion of excavation to subgrade and immediately prior to placement of structure, area should be adequately proof rolled in order to locate and compact any weak or compressible soft spots. Weak areas identified should be removed and replaced in accordance with the project specifications or as directed by the Project
Engineer. Positive surface drainage should be implemented prior to, during and after construction to prevent water infiltration or ponding at or adjacent to structures and structural excavations. If differing site conditions (unanticipated or unusual strata) are encountered during construction, B2Z shall be contacted to provide review and possible re-analysis if so required.
MSE Retaining Wall Recommendations
B2Z recommends that MSE Retaining Walls utilized on this project be constructed in accordance with the requirements of TxDOT 2024 ‘Standard Specifications for Construction and
Maintenance of Highways, Streets and Bridges’, Item 423 – Retaining Walls. We further recommend, all basic qualification testing (i.e. gradation, resistivity, pH, and (if required) chlorides and sulfates) of Select Fill utilized for MSE wall backfill be completed prior to the beginning of wall construction. All the recommendations as noted in ‘Shallow Foundation
Recommendations’ are valid for MSE Retaining Walls. At all times during construction, care should be taken that positive drainage is provided to prevent excessive water ponding at both the top of wall and base of wall.
Embankment Recommendations
B2Z recommends utilizing Williamson County General Notes Item 132 Embankment Type B for this project in accordance with the directive of Williamson County.
