    Soils suitable for use as a CNS (cohesive or fine grained) layer must have over 50% passing a #200 sieve and a liquid limit under 45. The CNS layer should extend at least 0.75m in all directions from slabs/pavement and be placed in loose lifts no thicker than 150mm, compacted to 95% of maximum dry density as determined by a Standard Proctor Test. Compaction testing should be done to verify adequate compaction is reached.

    CNS Layer Specification

    Cohesive or fine grained soils with more than 50 percent passing the Number 200 sieve
    and with liquid limit less than 45 are suitable for use as CNS soils. The CNS layer
    should be extended laterally a minimum of 0.75 m in all directions of the floor
    slab/pavement. The CNS layer should be placed in layers of loose lifts not exceeding
    150 mm and should be well compacted at its optimum moisture content, to 95% of
    its

    maximum

    dry density

    as determined by the Standard Proctor Test.

    compaction of cohesive soils can be achieved

    with sheep foot

    Proper

    or pneumatic

    type

    compactors under optimum moisture conditions. Compaction tests should be taken


    to verify that adequate degree of compaction has been achieved. A CBR value of 3
    can be utilized for design of pavements supported on CNS layer.
