The material for filling shall conform to IRC Highway Research Board's special report No. 16. Item No. 5 Material : The material shall be selected granular earth fill having high frictional resistance, low compressibility and free draining, Coarse grain soil with limited fines adequately satisfy this requirements. Thus select granular {i} may be contain finds content (Passing 75 micro sieve} not exceeding 10%. The internal friction angle is not smaller than 25° The fill shall also be free from organic or otherwise deleterious materials so as not to cause corrosion of the soil reinforcement and facia panels. It shall conform to the following physicochemical requirements. Fill material shall have a resistivity of 5000 chm-cm or more determine based on standard lest as directed by the engineer and materials with resistivity less than 1000 chm-cm are in adequate and shall not be used Material with resistivity between 5000 & 1000 chm-cm are acceptable provided there in water extracted from soil - water mix, the content of chlorides does not exceed 200 PPM, the content of Sulphate does not exceed 1000 PPM, and the pH value is in the range of >5<10 Good drainage characteristic of the select filt shall be maintained all through the design life of the RE wall including guarding the fill against the effect or “Chance” water logging of the facility The select fill shall be compacted to insure achieving peak angle friction not lower than 25° as established from the direct shear test (IS2720 Pt. 13) For design, effective cohesion of fill shall be taken as zero. Water used for compaction of the select fill should have minimum resistivity exceeding 700 ohm-cm, The fili material for reinforced earth structure shall have and angle of interface friction between the compacted fill and the reinforcing elements of not less than 25°measured in accordance with IS : 13326 (Part-1) The soil should be predominantly course grained; not more than 10% of the particles shall pass 75 micron sieve. The soil should have properties such that die salts in the soil should not react chemically or electrically with die reinforcing elements in an adverse manner, Grading for granular earth fill Table No. 400.8 of MOST SPECIFICATION FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE WORK (FOURTH REVISION).

(2)Soaked CBR >10% Quality Control For every 250 Cum. Of fill material or when ever the approved source is change, tsieve analysis, one measurement of resistivity, angle of internal friction and modified Proctor / relative density shall be carried out. Any further tests on soil to confirm to its suitability as “Reinforced Earth Back Fill” can be decided based on the result of these tests. However, organics and deleterious contain, pH, sulpahate and chloride content shall be carried out as decided by engineer. Testing of Materials : Testing of soil for evaluating their index and engineering properties. S be consulted with regard to this requirements. il reports may Testing of friction angle between the reinforcement and soil using direct shear test. Laying and compacting : During construction of reinforced fill, the retain, material beyond the reinforcement of the rare or structure shat! be maintained at the same level as reinforced fill,TET TE FON Fe ee een OT 1% The compacted layer shall not be more than 250mm to achieve compaction of 97% of maximum laboratory density where measured per IS: 2720 (Part-8) Temporary formwork shall be used to support the construction as per specified details given in the drawing. The forms scaffolding and props shall be sufficient in number to allowed taking up of sectoral construction schedule specified in the design. Drainage : Drainage shall be very strictly followed as per drawing and specifications in detail. The reinforce earth back fill is considered a self-draining media having sufficient permeability to relive hydrostatic pressures. However, water logging in the reinforced fill increase the pore pressures coefficient thereby resulting in tensile forces in reinforced soil structure, reducing the stability of the structure. Wherever, there is probability of such occurrence drainage outlets at the bottom level ion of non-woven geotextile backing shall be provided along the facia for drainage redundancy. The geotextile used as fitter shall meet the requirements of MOSRT&H Specification of road and bridges work clause 702.2.3. Joints of panels with pro The retained fill shall have drainage bay, minimum 600mm wide, with 19.6mm to 9.1 mm well graded crusted aggregate with fine contents <5% to allow free draining of the reinforced fill along with the retained fill. The panel joint above 300mm of existing ground level shall be field with the joint fillers as per It. 7,0 and as approved by the Engineer. Measurement for Payments : The measurement for payment of granular earth fill shall be in cubic meters for compacted soil and shall be maid against relevant items of fill behind reinforced soil structures, Rate: The rate for soil fill shall include selection, supply, placing, compaction, and quality control tests etc. for approved earth fill, The rate shall also include the cost of labour, plantimachinery, transportation for all lead and lifts etc. as required for completing the work. Rate shall be for unit of one Cubic Metre.
