The documents can out with a 20% maximum passing the 200 sieve and included a geotechnical report indicating the native soils had around 50%. I contacted them and brought the conflict to their attention. They changed the documents via addendum to 35%...
I have a project that requires all the roadway fill to have less than 35% passing the 200 sieve. The plant asphalt roadway pavement design is a CBR of 1. The fill depth is about 5' and is compacted to 100% standard.
The on site materials have about 50% passing the 200 sieve. The geotechnical...
Thanks Ron
