Mavis Store #2296 December 10, 2024 ECS Project No. 44:2100 Page 10 for revised pavement recommendations; otherwise, increased pavement maintenance and a shortened pavement life should be expected. Minimum Recommended Pavement Sections: The recommended minimum pavement sections as listed in the following table are based upon the anticipated usage and design life discussed, considering a composite CBR of 6.4-percent (i.e., compacted subgrade with compacted graded aggregate subbase), and also consideration for minimum lift thickness dictated by the nominal maximum size of the aggregate in the design mix. Further, the recommended minimum pavement sections are predicated upon proofrolling and compaction of the existing subgrade soils in accordance with Sections 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 of this report. MINIMUM RECOMMENDED PAVEMENT SECTIONS MATERIAL FLEXIBLE RIGID Superpave 9.5 mm 1.5 in - Asphaltic Concrete Surface Course Superpave 19.0 mm 2.5 in - Asphaltic Concrete Base Course Portland Cement Concrete - 6.0 in (f’c = 4,000 psi) Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA) 6.0 in 6.0 in Subbase Notes: (1) Material and installation shall conform to New Jersey Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, 2019, unless otherwise indicated. (2) Thicknesses indicated represent compacted material

nsportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, 2019, unless otherwise indicated. (2) Thicknesses indicated represent compacted material thicknesses. We also recommend the light-duty rigid pavement be reinforced with appropriate fibers or welded wire fabric. All reinforcement as well as spacing of control joints to be designed/specified by others. We recommend American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines for joint spacing be followed, and the minimum recommended joint spacing be considered to reduce the potential for shrinkage cracks within the rigid pavement sections. The pavement sections provided above are guidelines that may or may not comply with local jurisdictional minimums. It is the responsibility of the civil/site engineer to confirm compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
