2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this project is to improve Joe Tank Road stemming from the significant deterioration of the roadway surface and safety concerns for visitors of the National Forest lands. The improvements are intended to provide a wider roadway bench and paved shoulders. It is anticipated that the improvements will consist of the removal or pulverization of the existing chip seal surface and base material and the construction of a new asphalt surface. The project improvements will provide a new paved surface, ditch construction or reconditioning to improve drainage, extending, or replacing culverts, the replacement of a cattle guard, and the installation of new street signage. The existing roadway bench width of approximately 20 feet is proposed to be widened to 28 feet, allowing for paved shoulders and ribbon curb on both sides of Joe Tank Road.

3 PAVEMENT SUBGRADE
CHARACTERIZATION
3.1 SITE CONDITIONS
Joe Tank Road currently consists of approximately 1 inch of chip seal over 5 to 6 inches of asphalt millings. It is one-lane in each direction roadway within the project limits. The existing roadway appears to be in poor condition with considerable alligator, block, edge, longitudinal, and transverse cracking; as well as raveling and potholes in numerous areas. The area is mountainous, and the existing roadway does not include curbs. The eastern portion of Joe Tank Road is bounded by the AZ 260 on the east and residential lots of varying sizes to the south. The northern and western portions of Joe Tank Road are bounded by residential lots and undeveloped land.
3.2 GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The project site is located in Navajo County, Arizona in the northwest portion of the City of Show Low. The site is located in an area with recreational and residential use that gives access to National Forest lands. This area lies within the Colorado Plateau physiographic province, which is divided into six sub-provinces, the Navajo, Grand Canyon, Canyon Lands, High Plateau, Uinta Basin, and Datil. The Colorado Plateau province is a large stable area of mostly undeformed structurally uplifted continental crust. This area is characterized by gentle to steep uplifts, board plateaus, buttes, mesas, river gorges, and deeply incised canyons that expose the flat lying sedimentary rock sequences ranging from Precambrian to the Tertiary and lava flows deposited during Quaternary and Tertiary.
The site is located within the White Mountains near the Fools Hollow Recreational area located approximately
1.0 mile to the east. Published geologic mapping indicates that the surficial geologic unit at the project site consists of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks (Richard., et al 2000). This unit consists primarily of unconsolidated deposits associated with modern fluvial systems. This unit consists primarily of sandstone and shale deposited in beach, river delta, and shallow sea settings.
3.3 GEOTECHNICAL PROFILE
3.3.1 EXISTING PAVEMENT THICKNESS
WSP determined the existing pavement section thicknesses at test pit locations TP-01, TP-02, and TP-03 by performing measurements during the field investigation. Measured pavement section thicknesses are provided in Table 3.1 and are presented on the test pit logs in Appendix A.

3.3.2 ROADWAY SUBGRADE
Near surface subgrade soils encountered within the test pits to depths of 5 feet consisted of moist clayey sands (SC) with variable amounts of gravels and plasticity indices ranging from low to high. Thin layers of sand (SP) and silty sands (SM) were also encountered. A summary of the test results along with descriptions of the test procedures and individual test worksheets are presented in Appendix B. Test pit locations are shown on Figure
1. Photographs taken during the field investigation are presented in Appendix C. Logs of the completed test pits are presented in Appendix A.
The site soils along the project alignment have been identified as poor subgrade. These soils will require subgrade improvement such as over-excavation and replacement or incorporation of geotextiles such as geogrid. As requested by the City of Show Low, the following pavement design analysis incorporates geogrid at the subgrade surface in lieu of over-excavation and replacement.
3.4 SOIL SUPPORT
Recommended design and construction control R-values were developed based on the results of laboratory testing on the subgrade soils and procedures presented in the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017). Soil samples used to evaluate the pavement subgrade were obtained from within 5 feet or less of the proposed finished grade and are representative of the materials that will form the final roadway subgrade.
Table 3.2 presents the results of correlated R-values determined using Table 2-3 in the ADOT PDM and laboratory R-value tests determined in accordance with ASTM D2844. The design procedure outlined in the ADOT PDM for determining the design R-value resulted in a calculated design R-value of 18. However, WSP recommends using a design R-value of 28 which includes stabilization of the subgrade using geogrid.

4 PAVEMENT DESIGN
The flexible pavement design presented in the following sections was completed in accordance with the methods presented in the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017) and current ADOT guidance and procedures. WSP evaluated the available traffic data to determine the appropriate equivalent single-axle loads (ESALs) to be used in the pavement design for Joe Tank Road. The following sections provide the information regarding the development of the design ESALs.
4.1 DESIGN PARAMETERS
4.1.1 ESALS DETERMINATION
4.1.1.1 TRAFFIC DATA
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) count was provided by the City of Show Low in the Arizona Federal Lands Access Program Project Application Packet for AZ FLAP FR136 (1) and correspondence with the design team. The traffic data for the current segment had a reported volume of 250 vehicles. It has been noted that during the winter months about half of the vehicles were Forest Service dump trucks and during the summer an increase of passenger vehicles. Design assumptions and resulting equivalent single-axle loads (ESALs) utilized for pavement design were per the 1993 AASHTO design approach and ADOT PDM.
4.1.1.2 TRUCK TRAFFIC PERCENTAGE
A truck traffic percentage of 10% was utilized for the pavement design.
4.1.1.3 GROWTH RATE
A yearly growth rate of 4% was utilized for the pavement design.
4.1.1.4 DIRECTIONAL DISTRIBUTION
A directional distribution of 50 percent was used based on the assumption of equal traffic flow on both sides of the roadway.
4.1.1.5 LANE DISTRIBUTION FACTOR
Table A-2 of the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017) provides lane distribution factors based on the construction type and the number of lanes in the design direction. A lane distribution factor of 1.0 was used since the construction type is reconstruction and the number of lanes is 1 in the design direction.
4.1.1.6 ESAL CALCULATIONS
The previous parameters were used to calculate ESALs for the project. A design life of 20 years was utilized. The ESALs for the flexible pavement design are presented in Appendix D. The calculated design ESALs for the project is 328,026.
4.1.2 COMBINED STANDARD ERROR AND LEVEL OF RELIABILITY
A combined standard error of 0.45 was used for flexible pavement in accordance with current ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017).
Based on Table 2-1 “Reliability and ZR Values,” in the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017), a level of reliability and standard normal deviate ZR were determined as a function of the roadway classification. A level of reliability of 75 percent was selected for design, requiring that a standard normal deviate (ZR) value of -0.674 be used for design.

June 2023
4.1.3 SERVICEABILITY INDEX
Initial and terminal serviceability index values for the roadways were selected using the criteria in Table 2-2 of the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017). A change in serviceability (psi) of 1.6 was assigned.
4.1.4 SEASONAL VARIATION FACTOR
A seasonal variation factor of 3.4 was obtained from Table 2-4 of the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017) for Show Low, Arizona.
4.1.5 RESILIENT MODULUS AND MODULUS OF SUBGRADE REACTION
As discussed in Section 3.4, a design R-value of 28 was selected. Based on the formula for resilient modulus (MR) in the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017), using the selected design R-value and a seasonal variation factor of 3.4, an MR of 7,995 psi was calculated.
4.1.6 DRAINAGE COEFFICIENT
A drainage coefficient of 0.84 was assigned, in accordance with Table 2-7 of the ADOT PDM (ADOT 2017), based on a seasonal variation factor of 3.4 for the project area and fair drainage conditions associated with typical aggregate base.
4.1.7 CONSTRUCTION CONTROL R-VALUE
Construction control R-value of 30 is recommended. Materials with a correlated R-value below 30 should not be accepted for use within 3 feet of finished subgrade elevation.
4.2 FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN
WSP recommends a pavement section consisting of AC over aggregate base (AB) with a geogrid stabilized subgrade to provide the required thickness to meet the pavement structural requirements.
4.2.1 STRUCTURAL NUMBER
The required structural number (SN) for the planned roadway were calculated using the design parameters presented in Section 4.1. The required SN is 2.55.
4.2.2 STRUCTURAL COEFFICIENTS
The structural coefficients in Table 4.1 were utilized for flexible pavement design as outlined in the ADOT PDM
(ADOT 2017):

Asphaltic Concrete 0.44
Aggregate Base 0.14
A drainage coefficient of 0.84, as discussed in Section 4.1.6, was applied to the aggregate base structural coefficient listed above to calculate section thicknesses.
4.2.3 PAVEMENT SECTIONS
The required structural components for the AC pavement were determined to meet the required structural number of 2.55. The recommended pavement section is 3.5 inches of AC over 9 inches of AB, which has a calculated structural number of 2.60. During discussions with the City of Show Low, it was requested to have geogrid improved subgrade due to the expansive nature of the native soils. Design calculations are presented in Appendix D. The recommended flexible pavement sections are summarized in Table 4.2.

LOGS
TERMINOLOGY USED TO DESCRIBE THE RELATIVE DENSITY,
CONSISTENCY OR FIRMNESS OF SOILS
The terminology used on the boring logs to describe the relative density, consistency or firmness of soils relative to the standard penetration resistance is presented below. The standard penetration resistance (N) in blows per foot is obtained by the ASTM D1586 procedure using 2" O.D., 1 3/8" I.D. samplers. When a modified California sampler is used (ASTM D3550), an approximate N-value is obtained by multiplying by two-thirds.
1. Relative Density. Terms for description of relative density of cohesionless, uncemented sands and sand-gravel mixtures.
N Relative Density
0-4 Very loose 5-10 Loose
11-30 Medium dense 31-50 Dense 50+ Very dense
2. Relative Consistency. Terms for description of clays which are saturated or near saturation.
N Relative Consistency Remarks
0-2 Very soft Easily penetrated several inches with fist.
3-4 Soft Easily penetrated several inches with thumb.
5-8 Medium stiff Can be penetrated several inches with thumb with moderate effort.
9-15 Stiff Readily indented with thumb, but penetrated only with great effort.
16-30 Very stiff Readily indented with thumbnail.
30+ Hard Indented only with difficulty by thumbnail.
3. Relative Firmness. Terms for description of partially saturated and/or cemented soils that commonly occur in the Southwest including clays, cemented granular materials, silts and silty and clayey granular soils.
N Relative Firmness
0-4 Very soft 5-8 Soft 9-15 Moderately firm
16-30 Firm 31-50 Very firm 50+ Hard
TERMINOLOGY USED TO DESCRIBE CEMENTATION
Uncemented No reaction to HCI, or easily broken with finger pressure
Weakly Reacts with HCI, and some calcium carbonate filaments, and possibly nodules, and crumbles with moderate finger pressure and N>15
Moderately Reacts strongly with HCI, and filaments continuous throughout, and nodules present, and sample is white/gray, and considerable finger pressure required to break soil into chunks, and blowcount for 3rd interval >30
Strongly Reacts strongly with HCI, filaments continuous and almost indistinguishable, nodules are larger, and sample is white, and will not crumble with firm finger pressure, and refusal blowcounts (blowcount >50 for 6-inch interval)
FIELD INVESTIGATION EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES
Description of Subsurface Exploration Methods
Test Pit Excavation – Excavation through subsurface materials is performed with either a backhoe or trackhoe with a steel bucket. Metal teeth are normally used on the bucket so they can penetrate soft rock or strongly cemented soils. Caterpillar, John Deere and Komatsu are trade names of different brands. A truck-mounted backhoe or track-mounted excavator is used to excavate the test pit. The maximum digging depth varies depending on type but typically ranges from 10 to 30 feet. Refusal to penetration of the bucket typically occurs when cemented soils, boulders or harder bedrock are encountered. Samples, as described in Sampling Procedures, are taken as needed, with the sampling interval and type being indicated on the test pit logs. The make and model of the backhoe or trackhoe and bucket width are indicated on the test pit log.
Test Pit Records
Field operations are directed by our field engineer or geologist who examines soil recovery and prepares the boring logs. Soils are visually classified in general accordance with the Description and Identification of Soils (Visual-Manual Procedure) (ASTM D2488), the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2487) and Wood procedures, with appropriate group symbols being shown on the boring logs.

LABORATORY TESTING PROCEDURES
Standard Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates (ASTM C136) or Standard Test Method for Particle-Size Analysis of Soils (ASTM D422) or Sieving of Coarse and Fine Graded Soils and Aggregates (AZ 201)
A particle-size analysis indicates the range of soil particle diameters included in a particular sample.
The distribution of particle sizes larger than 75 μm (retained on the No. 200 sieve) is determined by sieving, while the distribution of particle sizes smaller than 75 μm is determined by a sedimentation process, using a hydrometer to secure the necessary data. Unless otherwise stated the sedimentation process using a hydrometer was not performed. The particle-size analysis is utilized to aid in soil classification.
Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils (ASTM D4318) or Determining the Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index of Soils (AASHTO T 90)
The liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index (Atterberg Limits) are used to characterize the fine-grained fractions of soils. The liquid limit is the water content, in percent, of a soil at the arbitrarily defined boundary between the semi-liquid and plastic states. The plastic limit is the water content, in percent, of a soil at the boundary between the plastic and semi-solid states. Samples may be prepared as wet or dry, unless otherwise stated the dry preparation method was utilized. Additionally, the test may be conducted using Method A, which is a multipoint test, or Method B, which is a one-point test.
Unless otherwise stated, Method B was utilized. The plasticity index and liquid limit are utilized to aid in soil classification. The liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index of soils are also used extensively, either individually or together, with other soil properties in establishing a correlation between soil behavior and its index properties.
Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass (ASTM D2216)
Water content determinations of soil, rock and similar materials by mass where the reduction in mass by drying is due to loss of water. For many materials, the water content is one of the most significant index properties used in establishing a correlation between soil behavior and its index properties.
Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Swell or Collapse of Soils (ASTM D4546)
These test methods cover two laboratory test methods for measuring the magnitude of one-dimensional wetting-induced swell or collapse of unsaturated soils and one method for measuring load-induced compression subsequent to wetting-induced deformation. Soil samples contained in a 1-inch high by 2.42-inch outside diameter thin-walled cylinder are placed in the consolidometer apparatus, subjected to appropriate surcharge loads and inundation. The loads are maintained until the expansion versus log of time curve indicates the completion of primary swell or consolidation. Additionally, the test may be conducted using Method A, which is a one-dimensional measure on a remolded specimen test, Method B, which is collected as a one-dimensional measure on an intact thin-walled cylinder test (also known as single-point wetting-after-loading test), or Method C, which is a procedure for measuring load-induced strains on wetting-induced remolded or intact sample (also known as loading-after-wetting test). The test method will be indicated on the laboratory sheet. The swell/collapse strains measured can be used to develop estimates of heave or settlement, swell pressure and free swell strain of a confined soil profile.
Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil Using Standard Effort
(ASTM D698)
This laboratory test generally consists of compacting soil at known moisture content into a cylindrical mold of either 4 or 6 inches using a compactive effort of controlled magnitude (12,400 ft-lbf/ft3). The soil is compacted into the mold in three equal layers, each receiving 25 or 56 blows, depending on method, from a standard weighted hammer (5.5 pounds) at a height of 12 inches. The test may be conducted using: Method A, which utilizes material passing the No. 4 sieve; Method B, which utilizes material passing the 3/8-inch sieve; or Method C, which utilizes material passing the 3/4-inch sieve. This process is then repeated for various moisture contents and the dry densities are determined for each. The graphical relationship of the dry density to moisture content is plotted to establish the compaction curve. The laboratory data sheet will indicate the method utilized. The test results are used to determine the maximum dry density from the peak point of the compaction curve and its corresponding moisture content, also known as the optimum water or moisture content.
Determining pH and Minimum Resistivity of Soils and Aggregates (AZ Test Method 236) pH and electrical resistivity values are obtained in the laboratory for remolded samples for the subsurface materials. pH readings are recorded with a pH meter of soil-distilled water mixture. Electrical resistivity samples are placed in a soil box at in situ moisture content. Resistivity is an intrinsic material property, which can be obtained with a resistance meter by measuring the electrical resistance across the sample of known cross-sectional area and thickness with a known electrical current flowing through it at a known voltage. The resistance readings should decrease for several readings before an increase is noted. The lowest resistance reading before an increase will be the reading used for calculating the minimum resistivity of the soil. The test results are typically used to evaluate the degradation potential of the on-site soils on steel.
Sulfate in Soils (AZ Test Method 733)
This test method determines sulfate content in soil by weight (also called water-soluble sulfate (SO4) in soil.) using a turbidmeter. The test results are used to evaluate the degradation potential of the on-site soils on concrete.
Chloride in Soils (AZ Test Method 736)
This test method determines chloride content (also called water-soluble chloride ion (CL-) in soil by a standard addition technique using a chloride electrode. The test results are typically used to evaluate the corrosion potential of the on-site soils on steel.
Standard Test Method for Resistance R-Value and Expansion Pressure of Compacted Soils (ASTM D2844)
This test method covers the procedure for testing both treated and untreated laboratory compacted soils or aggregates with the stabilometer and expansion pressure devices to obtain results indicative of performance when placed in the base, subbase or subgrade of a road subjected to traffic. The test procedure to determine the R-value requires the laboratory prepared samples to be fabricated near 100 percent saturation. The R-value is calculated from the ratio of the applied vertical pressure to the developed lateral pressure and is essentially a measure of the material’s resistance to plastic flow. The R-value graphs present test results as a plot of R-value versus exudation pressure.
