Materials obtained from cuts or borrow areas shall conform to one of the following requirements: Note 1See M 145. 4.2.1. In Emba

8、nkmentsMaterials classified in the A-1, A-2-4, A-2-5, or A-3 groups as in M 145 shall be used when available and shall be compacted to the depth specified to not less than 95 percent of the maximum density per T 99. If material of this character is not available and materials from the A-2-6, A-2-7,

9、A-4, A-5, A-6, or A-7 groups must be used, special attention should be given to the design and construction of the embankment. Materials from these groups shall be compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum density and within two percentage points of the optimum moisture content per T 99.

10、4.2.2. In SubgradesMaterials classified in the A-1, A-2-4, A-2-5, or A-3 groups as shown in M 145 shall be used when available and shall be compacted to the depth specified to not less than 95 percent of the maximum density per T 99. Materials in the A-2-6, A-2-7, A-4, A-5, A-6, or A-7 groups may be

11、 used if compacted to the depth specified to not less than 95 percent of the maximum density and within two percentage points of the optimum moisture content per T 99. 4.3. Local shale may be used in embankment or subgrade construction if the condition of existing pavements and embankments indicates

12、 satisfactory results. Appropriate special specifications shall be prepared for such material. 5. DENSITY REQUIREMENTS 5.1. Density percentage requirements may be specified in terms of T 180, if the resultant density and optimum moisture content are comparable with T 99 under the above conditions. 6
