UFGS 02 66 10 Test Fill
each lift of the granular drainage layer, in accordance with ASTM D422.
3.3.5 Select Fill Tests**************************************************************************
NOTE: The select fill layer placed above
geosynthetic layers can be constructed using both
method and performance specifications. Modify this
paragraph if a method specification will be used.
The first lift of soil placed immediately above a
geosynthetic layer is generally placed with low
ground pressure equipment. No density testing
requirements are generally specified for this first
lift.**************************************************************************A minimum of [2] [_____] sets of classification tests shall be performed on each lift of select fill placed. Classification tests shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D422 and ASTM D4318. A minimum of [5] [_____] density and [5] [_____] moisture content tests shall be performed per lift. Density testing is not required on the first lift of soil placed above a geosynthetic layer.3.3.6 SurveysThe following surveys shall be performed to monitor horizontal and vertical movement of the test fill. The horizontal and vertical accuracy of the surveys shall be to the nearest [0.003] [_____] meter [0.01] [_____] foot.
a. During construction, all installed control points shall be surveyed immediately after each layer is placed.
b. During the post-construction monitoring period, all control points shall be surveyed once every [7] [_____] days.3.3.7 Post-Construction Monitoring
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The duration of post-construction monitoring
depends on the site specific testing which will be
performed. If the only purpose of the test fill is to demonstrate construction methods and monitor for
damage to geosynthetics, no post-construction monitoring period is necessary. A 14 to 60 day
monitoring period is typical if surveys to monitor
for horizontal movement will be performed.**************************************************************************The test fill shall be monitored for [_____] days following construction. The QC Inspector shall inspect the test fill daily and report its condition in the Construction Quality Control Daily Reports. After every
precipitation event, the QC inspector shall inspect the condition of the test fill.
3.3.8 Weekly Reports
Weekly reports shall include test results and survey data related to test fill construction and post-construction monitoring during the previous 7 days. The QC inspector shall certify that the weekly reports are
