C_] <br />11 <br />I. <br />5.01 STABILIZED SHOULDERS <br />A. Stabilized shoulders shall be constructed on each side of the paved roadway <br />sections to the width, depth and slope as shown on the Plans and Typical Sections. The <br />stabilized shoulder material shall have a minimum Florida Bearing Value of 50 pounds <br />per square inch as determined by the Florida Bearing Value Test. In an area where the <br />bearing value is less than 54psi, stabilizing material approved by the Engineer shall be <br />furnished by the Contractor, spread, and mixed thoroughly throughout the entire depth <br />and width of the stabilizing limits. No specific density will be required and compaction <br />shall be only to the extent directed by the Engineer. <br />6.01 COMPACTION TESTING <br />A. In general, Florida Bearing Value tests on the subgrade shall be taken at <br />approximately 300 linear foot intervals. Exact locations will be designated by the <br />Engineer. <br />B. The maximum dry density of the subgrade material shall be determined by the <br />Modified Proctor Test using the procedure as described by ASTM D1557 or AASHTO- <br />T18i1(Method A). In general, there shall be one Modified Proctor Test per 300 linear <br />feet at a location which is representative of the type of subgrade material used on the <br />project. Each material which is inherently different in composition from other subgrade <br />material and which is used over a widespread area of the project, will necessitate an <br />additional Modified Proctor Test. <br />***END OF SECTION*** <br />0x301-2 <br />
