After collection, we performed Resistance Value (R-Value) tests on the samples. Based on information provided by C&V Consulting, Inc., the, project civil engineer, and Mr. David Rick with the City of Carlsbad, we understand that Traffic Indices (Ti) of 4.5 and 5.0 have been assigned to the subject roadways. A revision to the previous letter was requested after the City of Carlsbad indicated a discrepancy between the calculated pavement section provided and the City of Carlsbad Minimum Structural Standard GS-1 7. Subgrade soil consists predominately of silty to clayey sand, and typically exhibits low to moderate R-Value characteristics. We performed the laboratory RValiie tests in accordance with ASTM D 2844 (California Test Method No. 301). The results of the laboratory. tests and the corresponding roadway station numbers are presented in Table I. Based on laboratory testing, we calculated the pavement sections in accordance with California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual and the City of Carlsbad Minimum Structural Standard GS-17. The pavement sections and the Traffic Index are presented in Table 11. Calculations for the pavement sections are presented in Figure 1. Final pavement section approval should be obtained from the City of Carlsbad. Asphalt concrete should conform to Section 203-6'of the Standard Specications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook). Class, 2 aggregate base materials should conform to Section 26-1.02A of the Standard SpecJIcations of the State of California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) or approved equivalent. Additionally, materials should conform to City of Carlsbad specifications. Prior to placing base materials for roadways and curb/gutter, the upper 12 inches of subgrade should be scarified, moisture conditioned as necessary, and compacted to a dry density of at least 95 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM D 1557.

The base materials should be compacted to a dry density of at least 95 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density near to slightly above optimum moisture content. The asphalt concrete should be compacted to a density of at least 95 percent of the laboratory Hveern density in accordance with ASTM D 2726. The performance of asphalt concrete pavement is highly dependent on providing positive surface drainage away from the edge of the pavement. Ponding of water on or adjacent to the pavement will likely result in saturation of the subgrade materials and subsequent pavement distress. To reduce the occurrence for such situations, a minimum drainage gradient of at least 1 percent should be maintained for pavement surfaces. Drainage from landscaped areas should be directed to controlled drainage structures.
