3.3 COMPACTION

A. General

1. Control soil compaction during construction providing minimum percentage of density specified for each area classification indicated below.

a. Percentage of maximum density requirements: Compact soil to not less than the following percentages of maximum density for soils which exhibit a well-defined moisture density relationship (cohesive soils) determined in accordance with ASTM D698 and not less than the following percentages of relative density, determined in accordance ASTM D4253 and D4254, for soils which will not exhibit a well-defined moisture-density relationship (cohesionless soils).

b. Structures, building slabs and steps, pavements: Compact top 12 inches of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material at 95 percent standard proctor density.

c. Lawn or unpaved areas: Compact top 6 inches of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material at 90 percent standard proctor density.

d. Walkways: The testing frequency for density test performed a full time basis can be determined by the Geo-Tech representative based on the area to be tested, the grading equipment used and construction schedule. Test shall be performed at vertical intervals of 8 inch or less as the fill is being placed.

B. Moisture Control

1. The moisture content of the fill shall be maintained within 3 percent of the soil’s optimum moisture content even though compaction may be achieved at moisture contents outside the specified range.

2. Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned before compaction, uniformly apply water to surface or subgrade, or layer

02200-5 of soil material, to prevent free water appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction operations.

3. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified density.

4. Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction may be stockpiled or spread and allowed to dry. Assist drying by discing, harrowing, or pulverizing until moisture content is reduced to a satisfactory value.

3.4 BACKFILL AND FILL

A. General

1. Place acceptable soil material in layers to required subgrade elevations, for each area classification listed below. Backfill material shall be no larger than the specified depth of the layer to be placed and/or compacted.

2. Inspection, testing, approval, and recording locations of underground utilities.

3. Removal of trash and debris.

C. Ground Surface Preparation

1. Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials from ground surface prior to placement of fills.

Plow, strip, or break up sloped surfaces steeper than 1 vertical to 4 horizontal so that fill material will bond with existing surface.

2. When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified under "Compaction" for particular area classification, break up ground surface, pulverize, moisture condition to optimum moisture content, and compact to required depth and percentage of maximum density.

D. Placement and Compaction

1. Place backfill and fill materials in layers not more than 8 inches in loose depth for material compacted by heavy compaction equipment, and not more than 4 inches in loose depth for material compacted by hand-operated tampers. Crushed stone shall be installed in accordance with Section 02255.

02200-6

a. Before compaction, add moisture or aerate each layer as necessary to provide optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to required percentage of maximum dry density or relative dry density for each area classification. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice.

b. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to piping, or conduit to required elevations. Take care to prevent displacement of piping or conduit by carrying material uniformly around structure, piping, or conduit to approximately same elevation in each lift.

c. Observation of the structural fill placement and in-place density testing must be performed on fill sections as a check by the Geo- Tech representative.
