About this file
This document is a Concepts Report from July 2022 detailing pavement design studies and recommendations for the Eagle Pass II Land Port of Entry (LPOE). The report, prepared by Cushing Terrell for the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), evaluates approximately 359,000 sf of asphalt and concrete pavements requiring repair or replacement.
The study includes traffic analysis showing 454 vehicles per day with projected growth to 957 vehicles by 2042, pavement core sampling results, and detailed design recommendations. Key recommendations include localized full-depth replacement with select areas receiving patching, joint seal, or surface treatments. The report recommends replacing heavily trafficked asphalt sections with concrete per GSA P-100 and CBP LPOE Design Standards, with concrete sections ranging from 8.5" to 11.0" thick. The traffic control plan allows for phased construction while maintaining access to at least half of the docks. The report includes comprehensive soil testing data, pavement design calculations, and lifecycle cost analysis spanning 20 years. Design recommendations account for both Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) and Concrete Pavement Contraction Design (CPCD) options, with specific thickness recommendations provided for seven different pavement sections based on traffic loading and use patterns.

1 GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
HVJ Associates, Inc.® (HVJ) was retained by the Cushing Terrell to provide pavement design services for several Land Ports of Entry managed by the U.S General Services Administration. This report includes designs for reconstruction of 7 sections of the Eagle Pass II LPOE, as shown in Table 1:

2 GEOTECHICAL DATA
A local map of gypsum content and Plasticity Index (PI) was generated from the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, and is included in Appendix A. A basic summary of the soils is included in Appendix B.
The soil type encountered within the project area is predominantly Lagloria Very Fine Sandy Loam as shown in Table 2.

LgA Lagloria Very Fine Sandy Loam 0-1% slopes 0 73.4 4.5
LgB Lagloria Very Fine Sandy Loam 1-3% slopes

The soil map shows that the soils underlying this project are of generally low plasticity which does not exceed 4.5 for any soil. Sulfates are not found in this area. Due to the low PI and lack of sulfates, Portland cement will be the stabilizing agent for these soils.
3 TRAFFIC DATA
Traffic data was collected and classified by Gram Traffic Counting, Inc. The traffic count was conducted at an exit of the facility such that all trucks entering the U.S were counted. The counts were summarized for each FWHA class of vehicle. The contribution of daily Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESALs) was calculated and summarized for each FHWA class, assuming legally-loaded trucks. The number ESALs induced by each vehicle type were found using American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials methodology (the AASHTO formula). FHWA class 9, 5-axle rigs account for most of the applied ESALs at Eagle Pass II.
Approximately 450 vehicles enter the U.S. through the port per day. Projections of ESALs over 20 years (for both asphalt and rigid pavements) are summarized in Table 3.

4 RIGID PAVEMENT DESIGN
The jointed concrete pavement (CPCD) designs were prepared using the AASHTO DARWin program based on the 1993 AASHTO Pavement Design procedure. The TxDOT Pavement Design Manual (June 2021) was used to determine concrete pavement design parameters.
The design and performance constraints include reliability level and overall standard deviation, performance period, initial serviceability index after construction, terminal serviceability index, 28 day mean PCC modulus of rupture and Modulus of Elasticity, drainage coefficient, and load transfer. A 20-year performance period was used for all rigid pavement designs.
Drainage
A drainage coefficient (Cd) of 1.03 was selected based on the TxDOT recommended range (1.01 < Cd <1.05) for annual rainfall between 30-
Properties of the concrete are also in accordance with TxDOT recommendations:
28-day Concrete Modulus of Rupture = 620 psi
28-day Mean Elastic Modulus of Slab= 5,000,000 psi
Reliability Level and Overall Standard Deviation
A reliability level (R) of 95% was selected for the pavement design performance. A mean value of the overall standard deviation (So) is 0.39.
Initial and Terminal Serviceability
The serviceability of a pavement is defined as its ability to serve the type of traffic that uses the facility. The condition of the pavement after the performance period is characterized by a Terminal Serviceability Index (Pt), which is a function of the pavement structure. A Terminal Serviceability Index (Pt) of 2.5 was used for PCC pavement design. The initial serviceability (Po) value was selected as 4.5.
Load Transfer
The load transfer coefficient (J) is a factor used in rigid pavement design to account for the ability of a concrete pavement structure to transfer load across discontinuities (i.e., joints and cracks) and selected according to the AASHTO suggestion for pavement types based on design condition (i.e., jointed reinforced versus plain jointed). A mean value of the load transfer coefficient of 3.2 was selected for the design of CPCD based on the assumed use of dowel bars for joint load transfer at all joints. Although TxDOT recommends a lower load transfer coefficient of 2.9, the more conservative J-value of 3.2 was selected for the design.
Effective Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (K-value) effective modulus of subgrade reaction was calculated using DARWin, which resulted in a k-value equal to 300 psi/in.
CRCP Designs
Continuously- Mechanistic/Empirical program TxCRCP-ME. This was done using input parameters recommended in the TxDOT Pavement Manual, which are at or near the above values used in DARWin. All input parameters for both programs are available in Appendix E.
Design Regression Curves
Many rigid pavement designs are required at port facilities where the only design variable that changes is the traffic, expressed as ESALs. To expedite ESAL-based thickness calculations, the number of ESALs of life available at each half-inch increment of thickness was calculated. This was done for CPCD using DARWin as well as for CRCP using TxCRCP-ME. The thickness/ESAL plots follow logarithmic trends almost perfectly. The concrete thickness, before rounding to the nearest half-inch, is as follows.
For CPCD/DARWin designs:
Thickness (in) = 1.7054 x ln(Million ESALs)+6.9006
For CRCP/TxCRCP-ME designs:
Thickness (in) = 1.4205 x ln(Million ESALs)+6.679
Fig. 1 CPCD and CRCP Design Curves (Calculation for COMSRD-4 Shown)
5 FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN
Recommendations from the TxDOT Pavement Manual1, and TxDOT software were utilized to develop flexible pavement designs. A 20-year design life is required, with a minimum of maintenance issues (and no overlays required) in the first 15 years.

The recommended designs in Section 6 pass all mechanistic and triaxial design checks.
6 RECOMMENDED DESIGNS
While CRCP generally provides more life as measured in ESALs before the pavement reaches unacceptable condition, it may not be as practical to construct as CPCD when considering the size and shape of the section. Many sections of Eagle Pass II are suitable for CRCP, minimizing the number of joints.
Another consideration is the recommended range of thickness for each pavement type. Minimum thickness for CPCD and CRCP is 6 and 7 inches, respectively. Maximum thickness (before a second mat of reinforcement steel is required) for CPCD and CRCP is 12 and 13 inches, respectively.

Re: GSA Various LPOE PH5 Cores Eagle Pass II Owner: General Services Administration HVJ No. AG 21 10322
Dear Mr. Carmichael, Submitted herein is the summary memo for the asphaltic concrete and base thickness to provide field and testing services for the Geotechnical Investigation for the General Services Administration Land Port of Entry Phase 5 (GSA LPOE PH5) facilities improvements project located at Eagle Pass II Port of Entry, Eagle Pass, Texas. We understand pavement improvements to various facilities in south Texas located at Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Brownsville, and Pharr Ports of Entry are planned. This memorandum was prepared in accordance with our proposal number AG 21 10322 dated September 22, 2021.
1. Objectives and Scope of Work
HVJ South Central Texas M&J, Inc. (HVJ SCTx) was retained by HVJ Associates, Inc. to provide pavement and base thicknesses, field testing, and laboratory testing information to aide in the GSA LPOE PH5 project improvements at Eagle Pass II, Texas. A total of three (3) pavement core locations have been investigated.
2. Geotechnical Field Exploration
Coring operations for the field exploration program were performed on Jan 19, 2022. The cores were advanced using a 6-inch electric core drilling machine to core through the pavement and base.
The coring locations were provided by HVJ Associates, Inc. and are shown on the Plan of Cores, Appendix A. The following table provides general core information.

Note: Core locations were not professionally surveyed and were taken from a hand held GPS device. The grid coordinates are based on the Texas State Plane Coordinate System, Central Zone, NAD 83(93). Elevations are based on Google Earth 2019. Units: Survey Feet.
Cores were obtained, when possible, from cracked locations near and slightly offset of the wheel paths. The extracted asphalt/concrete cores were carefully placed (taped together if cracked) in containers and transported to the laboratory for further examinations. Upon completion of coring activities, the core holes were drained out, backfilled with mix of sand and gravel, and topped with a single lift of cold mix asphalt patch to match the existing pavement.
3. Pavement Thickness
The pavement structure was observed to consist of 11 inches of asphaltic concrete and 4.75 to 14 inches of concrete. Table 3-1 below provides the pavement and base thicknesses.

Base and subgrade samples were collected using a hand auger. Upon completion of coring activities, the core holes were drained out and topped with a single lift of cold mix asphalt patch or concrete mix to match the existing pavement. The base material was visually classified as Clayey Sand with Gravel (SC) and the subgrade material was visually classified as Silty Sand (SM) and Sandy Silt (ML).
Photographs were taken of all asphalt/concrete cores and are presented in Appendix B.
4. Laboratory Testing
General
Base and subgrade samples transported to our laboratory were further examined and described and a preliminary soil classification was assigned to each soil sample based on ASTM D 2487 Classification of Soil for Engineering Purposes.
Classification testing, which included moisture contents, Atterberg limits and percent passing the No. 200 sieve, were subsequently conducted on select samples. All the testing was performed in accordance with the relevant ASTM and TxDOT Standards as required. The results of these tests were used to confirm or modify the preliminary soil classifications.
The laboratory test results are provided in the Laboratory Tests Results Summary, Appendix C.
Atterberg Limits
Select samples were tested to determine the Atterberg Limits in accordance with ASTM D4318 (TEX-104-E, and 105-E). The Atterberg Limit test is used to classify the soil using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). The Atterberg Limit test consists of two parts: a liquid limit test and a plastic limit test. The liquid limit equipment setup consists of a brass cup partially filled with soil which is grooved with a specialized grooving tool, and then dropped freely from a specified height to the rubber base below at a constant rate of 2 drops per second. The liquid limit test is performed on soil that has been sieved through the No. 40 sieve and brought to a moisture content that would close the ½-inch groove within 20 to 30 blows for two consecutive tests. The moisture content of the soil is then measured and recorded as the liquid limit. The second part of the test consists of a rolling a remolded sample between the tips of the fingers and a glass plate until transverse cracks appear at a rolled diameter of 1/8-inch. The moisture content of the rolled sample is taken and recorded as the plastic limit.
Percent Passing the No. 200 Sieve
Select soil samples were tested in accordance with ASTM D1140 (TEX-111-E) to determine the amount of material finer than the No. 200 sieve for use in classification. An oven dried sample of material is weighed then washed over a 75-µm (No. 200) sieve, allowing clay and other particles to be dispersed and removed from the soil. The retained material is oven dried then reweighed. The loss in mass resulting from the washing is calculated as mass percent of the original sample and is reported as the percentage of material finer than a No. 200 sieve.
Moisture Content
Moisture content testing was performed on select soil samples to determine the in-situ state of moisture of the soil. A fresh sample was weighed before being placed in an oven with a controlled temperature of 230°F and dried back to a constant mass. Upon the drying and reweighing of the sample, the total mass of water lost was recorded. The ratio of the water loss to the dried mass is recorded as the moisture content. This test was performed in accordance with ASTM D2216 (TEX- 103-E).
Specific Gravity
A specific gravity test was performed on a soil sample in accordance with ASTM D854-02 Method B. The soil sample is oven dried and passed through a No. 4.75mm sieve. The mass of a clean and dry Pycnometer is measured and then the mass of oven dried sample added to the Pycnometer is weighed. De-aired water is added to 1/3 depth of pycnometer to cover the soil. The contents are agitated well and boiled to remove the entrapped air. Water is filled to the full depth and measured.
The Pycnometer is then cleaned and dried to fill with only water and measured. The results for this test can be found in Appendix D.
5. Limitations
This memorandum was performed for the exclusive use of HVJ Associates, Inc. for General Services Administration Land Port of Entry Phase 5 (GSA LPOE PH5) facilities improvements project at Eagle Pass II Port of Entry, Texas. HVJ SCTx has endeavored to comply with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices common in the local area. HVJ SCTx makes no warranty, express or implied. Any analysis and recommendation contained in this report are based on data obtained from subsurface exploration, and laboratory testing performed and our experience with similar soils and site conditions.
The methods used indicate subsurface conditions only at the specific locations where samples were obtained, only at the time they were obtained, and only to the depths penetrated. Samples cannot be relied on to accurately reflect the strata variations that usually exist between sampling locations.
Should any subsurface conditions other than those described in our boring logs be encountered, HVJ SCTx should be immediately notified so that further investigation and supplemental recommendations can be provided.
In the event that any changes in the nature, design, or location of the project are made, any conclusion and recommendation in this report should not be considered valid until the changes are reviewed and the conclusions and recommendations modified or verified in writing by HVJ SCTx.
Sincerely, HVJ South Central Texas M&J, Inc.
