3.04 COMPACTION
a. Perform the compaction of soil materials using suitable soil compaction equipment for the
materials to be compacted and the work area locations.
b. Control soil compaction during construction for compliance with percentage of maximum
density specified for each area classification.
c. Compaction Equipment:
i. Provide compaction equipment of suitable size and number, and in satisfactory
working condition to compete the work on schedule.
ii. Use sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tired roller, tamper rollers, vibrating tampers,
pneumatic hand tampers, or other compaction equipment capable of obtaining
the required density throughout the entire area being compacted.
d. Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements:
i. Buildings and Miscellaneous Structures: See Foundation Notes on drawing S-1.
ii. Concrete Pavements:
e. Moisture Control:
i. Provide equipment capable of adding measured amounts of moisture to the soil
material as determined by moisture density relation tests. Maintain the actual
moisture content in the soil material at the time of compaction to within the limits
specified for each area classification.
ii. Where the sub grade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned
before compaction, uniformly apply the required amount of water to the surface
of sub grade, or layer of soil material, in such a manner as to prevent free water
appearing in the surface during or subsequent to compaction operations.
iii. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit
compaction to specified percentage of maximum density.
iv. Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction
may be stockpiled or spread on the surface where directed by the Architect and
permitted to dry. Assist drying by discing, harrowing or pulverizing, until the
moisture content is reduced to a satisfactory value, as determined by moisture
density relation tests. When accepted by the Architect, the soil material may be
used in compacted backfill or fill.
3.05 GRADING AND DRAINAGE
a. Uniformly grade all areas within the limits of site grading under this section, including
adjacent transition areas. Smooth the finished surface within the specified tolerances,
compact with uniform levels or slopes between points where elevations are shown, or
between such points and existing grades. Where finish contour lines are not shown
ground surfaces shall be finished to drain away from buildings and minor surfaces shall
be finished.
