Soil/Weathered Rock Excavation: SPEC WRITER NOTE: The requirements for track mounted power excavators may vary. Discuss with soils co

9、nsultant and modify as necessary. Soil or weathered rock that can be reasonably excavated with the rock auger, i.e. rock auger advancement greater than 150 mm (6 inches) per 15 minutes (see rock auger refusal, 1.5.C-2, below) B. Sloping Weathered Rock Excavation: Excavation of soil/weathered rock th

10、at can typically be excavated with the rock auger, except when the steeply sloping orientation of the stratum causes the rock auger to run askew. C. Rock Excavation: 1. Excavation of material that meets the rock auger refusal criteria and requires the rock core barrel or other hard rock excavation t

11、echniques for removal. 2. Rock auger refusal is defined as a penetration rate of less than 150 mm (6 inches) in 15 minutes, while operating a caisson drilling rig, rated with a torque capacity of at least 110 kN-meters (1,000,000 inch-pounds), applying a continuous down pressure of at least 220 kN (

12、50,000 pounds), equipped with a rock auger that contains conical carbide-tipped (“Kennemetal”) teeth. D. Nominal Soil or Weathered Rock Seams: Nominal soil or weathered rock seams below rock auger refusal will be excavated and considered as rock for rock excavation quantities. A nominal soil or weat

13、hered rock seam is one which is less than 600 mm (2 feet) thick. Where soil or weathered rock seams or voids of 600 mm (2 feet) or greater are excavated within a mixed rock/soil or rock/weathered rock profile, excavation is classified as soil/weathered rock excavation until rock auger refusal is aga
