<br /> <br />All fill and backfill to be placed in association with the proposed construction should <br />be accomplished slightly over optimum moisture content using equipment that is <br />capable of producing a uniformly compacted product throughout the entire fill lift. <br />Fill materials at less than optimum moisture should have water added and the fill <br />mixed to result in material that is uniformly above optimum moisture content. Fill <br />materials that are too wet can be aerated by blading or other satisfactory methods <br />until the moisture content is as required. The wet soils may be mixed with drier <br />materials in order to achieve an acceptable moisture content. <br /> <br />The fill and backfill should be placed in horizontal lifts at a thickness appropriate for <br />equipment spreading, mixing, and compacting the material, but generally should not <br />exceed eight inches in thickness. <br /> <br />No fill soils shall be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. When work is <br />interrupted by rains or snow, fill operations shall not be resumed until the field tests <br />by the geotechnical engineer indicate that the moisture content and density of the fill <br />are as previously specified. <br /> <br />Slopes <br /> <br />All slopes shall be compacted in a single continuous operation upon completion of <br />grading by means of sheepsfoot or other suitable equipment, or all loose soils <br />remaining on the slopes shall be trimmed back until a firm compacted surface is <br />exposed. Slope compaction tests shall be made within one foot of slope surface. <br /> <br />Cut and fill slopes shall be a maximum of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) unless approved <br />by the Geotechnical Consultant. <br /> <br /> Planting and irrigation of cut and fill slopes and/or installation of erosion control and <br />drainage devices should be completed due to the erosion potential of the soil. <br /> <br /> Temporary Excavations <br /> <br />Temporary excavation shall be made no steeper than 1:1 (horizontal to vertical). The <br />recommended slope for temporary excavations does not preclude local raveling and <br />sloughing. Where wet soils are exposed, flatter excavation of slopes and dewatering <br />may be necessary. In areas of insufficient space for slope cuts, or where soils with <br />little or no binder are encountered, shoring shall be used. <br /> <br />All large rocks exposed above temporary cuts shall be removed prior to foundation <br />excavation. In addition any rocks exposed during development from raveling and <br />sloughing should be removed immediately. <br /> <br />99 of 100 <br />1327 S Grand Ave <br />12/12/2024
