Liquid Limit (LL) shall not exceed 60. Plasticity Index (PI) shall not exceed 30. Swell shall be 2% maximum at 100% MDD-AASHTO T 180. Organic matter content shall be less than 50%. In situ and fill materials shall have a CBR not less than 5% after compaction to 95% of modified AASHTO density. Minimum in-place Dry Density after compaction shall be 95% of Modified AASHTO T 180. The maximum layer thickness (after compaction) required from the Contractor shall be generally 200 mm, and the maximum size of the material shall be 130 mm, but layer thickness as little as 100 mm will be permitted provided that the maximum size of the material is 65 mm. In order to prevent the layer thickness from being determined by the presence of isolated large rock/boulder fragments, the Engineer may require such isolated fragments to be removed from the road. In the case of material that cannot be reduced to a maximum size of 200 mm or less after removal of the oversize material, the Engineer may, at his sole discretion, allow thicker layers than specified above to be constructed, provided that he is satisfied that the specified densities or required strength can be obtained throughout the full depth of each layer and that the layers will be uniformly compacted, by using equipment specifically suited to this purpose.
71
Special Provisions
Bidding Document
In order that fill layer thickness should not be dictated by the presence of isolated larger rocks, the Engineer may order that material which cannot be broken down to the size generally obtainable for the rest of the material in the layer, be bladed off the road and removed. Where a new layer is constructed on an existing or already constructed fill and the new layer will be less than 100 mm in compacted thickness, the existing fill shall be scarified to such a depth as will give a layer thickness after compaction of not less than 100 mm of the new plus the scarified material together. No additional payment will be made for this. Where coarse material is to be processed in layer thickness which make mixing by road grader impracticable, the material shall be so excavated, transported and dumped that it will be properly mixed after dumping and exhibit a minimum segregation of fine and coarse material. Such material shall be placed to the correct thickness by end tipping, and the surface levelled by bulldozer, after which some fine materials shall be spread on top of the layer and worked into the depressions on the surface. Should the material used for fills be of such a nature that, during the breaking-down effort it does not readily break down to a maximum size of 200 mm or less, the material shall be spread and thoroughly mixed by grader or other suitable plant so as to obtain an even mix of the various types of materials and to spread the fine and coarse materials evenly throughout the mixture. If necessary during the mixing process, water shall also be sprayed evenly over and mixed into the material to bring it to the correct uniform moisture content. The moisture added shall be just sufficient to bring the material to the optimum moisture content for the compacting equipment being used and the compaction required. Fill shall be placed in successive layers parallel to the final road surface wherever this is practicable. The construction of tapered layers shall be restricted to the bottom layers of fill where this may be unavoidable due to crossfall, tapering out of fills or superelevation of the final road surface. Where practical this should be avoided by use of benching along contours. The better quality materials obtained from road excavation or from borrow shall be generally reserved for use in the upper layer of fill construction, in accordance with the instructions of the Engineer. b) Improved Subgrade Material (G15 and G7) Placing an improved subgrade not only increases the bearing strength of the direct support of the pavement, but also Protects the upper layers of the earthworks against adverse weather conditions (protection against and shrinkage); Facilitates the movement of construction traffic; Permits proper compaction of pavement layers; Reduces the variation in the subgrade strength; and, Prevents pollution of open-textured sub base courses by plastic fines from the natural subgrade. Soil used for improved subgrade layers shall be non-expansive, non-dispersive and free from any deleterious matter. They shall comply with the requirement tabulated here under:

Payment for the fines shall be deemed to be included for in the rates and prices tendered for the rock fill. Add the following Sub-Clause to this Clause: (a) Hand-laid Rock Embankment Where called for on the drawings or directed by the Engineer the Contractor shall construct hand-laid rock embankment specified as follows.

No single stone shall be less than 0.01 cu.m in volume and 75% of individual stones shall be at least 0.02 cu.m in volume. The maximum single stone size shall not exceed 750mm. The minimum thickness of a stone laid fill is 500mm. 4404 Material for Side Fill Add the following as a 1st paragraph: Side fill shall be defined as any additional fill placed outside the road prism as shown on the drawings.

The Contractor shall use ordinary Portland cement as defined under Division 8400 of the Standard Specification. Pre-cast barrier shall be cast in steel forms. After release, the barrier shall be finished to an even, smooth, dense surface, free from any rock pockets or holes larger than 6 millimetres across. Trowelling shall remove all projecting concrete from the bearing surface. Pre-cast concrete barrier shall be cured in accordance with Division 8400, Structural Concrete, except that the barrier shall be cured in the forms until a rebound number test, or test cylinders which have been cured under the same conditions as the barrier, indicate the concrete has reached a compressive strength of at least 17.2 MPa. No additional curing is required once the barrier has been removed from the forms. The barrier shall be pre-cast in sections as the Standard Drawings require. All barriers in the same project (except end sections and variable length units needed for closure) shall be the same length. All barriers shall be new and unused. It shall be true to plan dimensions. The manufacturer shall be responsible for any damage or distortion that results from manufacturing.

Hardware identical to that used with other sections shall interlock such a section with adjacent pre-cast sections. When the barrier is being built next to roadway lanes open to traffic, a terminal section shall be connected temporarily to the end of the barrier built each day. 9905 Cast-In Place Concrete Barrier Forms for cast-in-place barrier shall be made of steel or of exterior plywood coated with plastic. At the Contractors option, the barrier may be constructed by the slip-form method. The Contractor shall use ordinary Portland cement as defined under Division 8400 of the Standard Specification.
