Determine the in-place moisture content for each density test. Use Florida Method FM 1-T 238, FM 5-507 (Determination of Moisture Content by Means of a Calcium Carbide Gas Pressure Moisture Tester), or ASTM D 4643 (Laboratory Determination of Moisture Content of Granular Soils By Use of a Microwave Oven) for moisture determination. 120-9.4 Soil Classification: Perform soil classification tests in accordance with AASHTO T-88. Classify soils in accordance with AASHTO M-145 in order to determine compliance with embankment utilization requirements. 120-9.5 Acceptance Criteria: Obtain a minimum density in accordance with 120-7.2 with the following exceptions: 1) embankment constructed by the hydraulic method as specified in 120-6.3; 2) material placed outside the standard minimum slope as specified in 120-6.2.4; 3) other areas specifically excluded herein. 120-9.6 Frequency: Conduct sampling and testing at a minimum frequency listed in the table below. Test Name Frequency Maximum Density One per soil type Density 1 per 500' RDWY Alt Lift Soil Classification One per Maximum Density 120-10 Maintenance and Protection of Work. While construction is in progress, maintain adequate drainage for the roadbed at all times. Maintain a shoulder at least 3 feet wide adjacent to all pavement or base construction in order to provide support for the edges. Maintain and protect all earthwork construction throughout the life of the Contract, and take all reasonable precautions to prevent loss of material from the roadway due to the action of wind or water. Repair any slides, washouts, settlement, subsidence, or other mishap which may occur prior to final acceptance of the work. Maintain all channels excavated as a part of the Contract work against natural shoaling or other encroachments to the lines, grades, and cross-sections shown in the plans, until final acceptance of the project. 120-11 Construction. 120-11.1 Construction Tolerances: Shape the surface of the earthwork to conform to the lines, grades, and cross-sections shown in the plans. In final shaping of the surface of earthwork, maintain a tolerance of 0.3 foot above or below the plan cross-section with the following exceptions: 1. Shape the surface of shoulders to within 0.1 foot of the plan cross-section. 2. Shape the earthwork to match adjacent pavement, curb, sidewalk, structures, etc. 3. Shape the bottom of ditches so that the ditch impounds no water. 4. When the work does not include construction of base or pavement, shape the entire roadbed (shoulder point to shoulder point) to within 0.1 foot above or below the plan cross-section. Ensure that the shoulder lines do not vary horizontally more than 0.3 foot from the true lines shown in the plans. 120-11.2 Operations Adjacent to Pavement: Carefully dress areas adjacent to pavement areas to avoid damage to such pavement.
