DESCRIPTION:

US 17N from Sidbury Rd to Scotts Hill Loop Rd

SUBJECT:

Geotechnical Report - Design and Construction Recommendations

The Geotechnical Engineering Unit (GEU) has completed a review of previous subsurface

investigations that overlap with the current project. Subsurface data from WBS projects 34425.1.1

and 3.107111 indicates the soils along this project are sandy in nature and the ground water is 6 feet

or more below natural ground. The geotechnical recommendations are presented as follows.

I. Slope/Embankment Stability

A. Slope/Embankment Stability

Recommend all roadway slopes be constructed no steeper than 3:1 (H:V).

B. Undercut for Embankment Stability

Recommend 50 cubic yards of Undercut Excavation for embankment stability be included in

the contract as a contingency item to be used at the direction of the Engineer.

C. Geotextile for Soil Stabilization

Include 50 square yards of Geotextile for Soil Stabilization in the contract as a contingency

item to be used at the discretion of the Engineer.

II. Subgrade Stability

A. Undercut for Subgrade Stability

Include 50 cubic yards of Undercut Excavation in the contract as a contingency item to be

used at the discretion of the Engineer.

B. Special Ditches

Special ditches are not recommended for this project.

C. Subsurface Drainage - Subsurface Drain

Recommend 50 linear feet of 6” Perforated Subdrain Pipe for subsurface drain (Roadway

Standard Drawing 815.02) be included in the contract as a contingency item to be used at the

discretion of the Engineer.

D. Geotextile for Soil Stabilization

Recommend 50 square yards of Geotextile for Soil Stabilization be included in the contract as

a contingency item to be used in Section II A.

III. Borrow Specifications

A. Borrow Criteria

Common borrow for embankment construction to subgrade shall meet the Exceptions to

Statewide Criteria for Acceptance of Borrow Material, Article 1018-2(B).

B. Select Granular Material

Recommend 100 cubic yards of Select Granular Material be included in the contract for

backfill as a contingency item for Section I. B. and II. A.

Select granular material for embankment/backfill for geotextile for soil stabilization if

required, or backfill in water shall meet the criteria outlined in the Standard Specifications,

Article 1016-3, Class II and/or III.

C. Shrinkage Factor

A shrinkage factor of 25 percent is recommended for calculation of earthwork on this project.

D. Borrow Reconnaissance and Availability

Sandy soils with good to excellent engineering properties are available in nearby areas.

IV. Miscellaneous

A. Reduction of Unclassified Excavation - Loss Due to Clearing and Grubbing

No significant loss of unclassified excavation is anticipated due to clearing and grubbing.

B. Reduction of Unsuitable Unclassified Excavation - Unsuitable Waste

Based on the current roadway plans, unclassified excavation along this project will be

primarily derived from shallow subgrade cuts and ditch excavation. These areas contain

granular soils which are suitable for subgrade construction.
