L_ <br />samples taken at embankment locations determined by the Engineer. The results of all <br />completed earthwork tests will be available to the Contractor at the office of the Engineer. <br />Materials not meeting the specified moisture content and dry density requirements, as <br />determined by the tests, shall be reworked until approved results are obtained. Reworking <br />may include removal, rehandling, reconditioning, rerolling, or combinations of these <br />procedures. The Contractor shall be entitled to no additional allowance above the prices of <br />the work required to achieve the placement moisture content and density specified in this <br />section. <br />The moisture content of the earthfill material prior to and during compaction shall be <br />' distributed uniformly throughout each layer of the material. As far as practicable, the <br />materials shall be brought to the proper moisture content by adding supplementary water, if <br />required, to the material by sprinkling on the earthfill and each layer of earthfill shall be <br />' conditioned so that the moisture is uniform throughout the layer. <br />Density control of compacted earthfill shall be such that the dry density of the compacted <br />material, as determined by tests performed by the Engineer, shall conform to not less than <br />90% of its Proctor maximum dry density. Material which does not meet these requirements <br />will be rejected and shall be reworked until a dry density equal to or greater than these <br />requirements is reached. <br />' 3.06 PLACING AND COMPACTING <br />' A. Compacted Fill <br />The material shall be placed in areas shown on the Plans in continuous and approximately <br />' horizontal layers, not more than 12-inch loose lifts. The combined excavation and placing <br />operations shall be such that the materials will be sufficiently blended to secure the best <br />practicable degree of compaction and stability. <br />' The material shall be compacted to 90% of the Standard Proctor as described in ASTM D- <br />698. The method of compaction shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval. <br />' END OF SECTION <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />' 07/97 <br />Section 02290 -Page 3 of 3 <br />1 <br />
