1.0 INTRODUCTION

GESTRA Engineering, Inc. (GESTRA) was authorized by the Airport Engineering Department,

General Mitchell International Airport (GMIA) to complete a subsurface exploration and

geotechnical investigation for the Proposed Taxiway F Reconstruction Project at the GMIA in

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This report presents the results from the subsurface soil exploration and

describes the field exploration, laboratory test results, and provides recommendations pertaining

to the design and construction of the proposed project.

The engineering recommendations and analysis contained within this report are based on the

following project information, which is a projection of GESTRA’s understanding of the project.

If for any reason the actual project information differs from what is reported below, GESTRA

should be contacted so that we can review our recommendations in light of any new information.

1.1 Project Information

General Mitchell International Airport is owned and operated by Milwaukee County located on

5300 South Howell Avenue in the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Approximate annual

operation in this airport is about 130,000 including commercial, air taxi, transient general

aviation, local and military operations.

Based on the information provided by Airport Engineering Department, the improvement project

at GMIA will include reconstruction of Taxiway F. This project includes the western section of

the Taxiway F and an approximate project length is about 1,200 feet. The existing pavement

surface is asphalt and it is one of the oldest pavement structures in this airport based on the

information provided by Airport Engineering Department. Based on the project background

information, the existing taxiway pavement was resurfaced with 5-inch of bituminous overlay in

1985. A plan prepared in 1955 indicates that rehabilitation with bituminous reinforcement over

existing pavement was performed.

This taxiway is about 100 feet wide with about 6 feet of turf on each side of the pavement. The

proposed project includes removing the existing pavement section and replacement with a ridged

concrete pavement designed by Airport Engineering for heavy loads. The objective of

geotechnical services was to evaluate the subgrade conditions and establish the soil parameters

for design of the new pavement section by Airport Engineering. As part of our scope, we also

documented the existing pavement thickness, and provide recommendations for subgrade

preparation.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

Based on our understanding of the project and scope provided by MKE Airport Engineering

Department, GESTRA has performed the following scopes in this project:

1. Coordinated with the airport to discuss the project specifics, safety and security measures

prior to commencement of the work.

2. Attended airport safety and security training, and obtained badging card from GMIA for

the GESTRA drilling crew.

3. Contacted Diggers Hotline to identify the public utilities at the site.

4. Performed eight (8) standard penetration (SPT) borings, to 11 feet each, for a total of 88

feet of drilling for the proposed reconstruction of Taxiway F at General Mitchell

International Airport. GESTRA used a coring subcontractor for coring through the

thicker pavement layers. Our site work included abandonment of the boreholes per

Wisconsin DNR requirements. Boreholes were patched based on the instruction from

Airport Engineering Department.

5. The Dynamic cone penetration (DCP) test was performed at each of the pavement boring

locations to evaluate the in-situ strength parameters for the upper subgrade based on a

request from Airport Engineering Department.

6. Performed laboratory soil tests to assign classification and engineering properties to the

soils encountered. Dependent upon the types of soils encountered, the testing may

include the following: hand penetrometer, P200, moisture-density relations, Atterberg

limits, dry density and unconfined compressive strength test, moisture, and organic

contents.

7. Prepared this report presenting the results of the field exploration, laboratory testing,

recommendations pertaining to the proposed construction, and soil parameters for

thickness design by Airport Engineering.

3.0 EXPLORATION RESULTS

3.1 Site Conditions

Taxiway F is a connector of the north ramp of the GMIA to Runway 13-31, 1L-19R and 7L-25R.

The section of Taxiway F from Runway 13-31 to Taxiway Z is included in this project. A site

location drawing for this project is included in Appendix I. The existing taxiway pavement

surface is asphalt. The existing pavement surface is deteriorated with appearance of transvers

and longitudinal cracks, block cracks and edge cracks. Crack seal was observed along the crack

paths. Site photographs showing pavement conditions in some locations are attached in

Appendix I.

3.2 Subsurface Soil Profile

SPT Soil Borings

A total of eight SPT soil borings were completed on May 4, 2016 at the locations depicted on the

Boring Layout Plans in Appendix I. The soil boring locations were marked in the field by

GESTRA, coordinating with Airport Engineering and surveyed by GMIA. Based on direction

from Airport Engineering, borings were placed to avoid drilling along the centerline of Taxiway

F. A summary of the soil boring information is presented in Table 1.

All soil borings completed on Taxiway F encountered an asphalt layer and a base course layer.

The asphalt layer thickness was found in the range of 8 inches to 14.5 inches (average of 11.3

inches). Underlying the asphalt, base course layer was observed with a thickness varying from 4

to 10 inches (average of 6.9 inches).

The pavement layer thicknesses and soils reported on the boring logs are summarized and

presented in Table 2.

Notes:

a- With or trace organic.

Results of the field and laboratory tests and observations are depicted on the individual test

boring logs included in the Appendix I of this report. Soils were grouped together based on

similar observed properties. The stratification lines were estimated by the reviewing engineer

based on the available data and experience. The actual in-situ changes between layers may differ

slightly and may be more gradual than depicted on the boring logs. Subsurface and groundwater

conditions can vary between borehole locations and in areas not explored.

It is important to note that the soil observations and pavement section thickness estimates were

made in small diameter boreholes. Therefore, it should be understood that thicker or thinner

deposits of the individual strata may be encountered throughout the project area. Furthermore,

the estimation of base course thickness at a particular location can differ from person to person

due a sometime indistinct transition between the base material and underlying subgrade soils.

DCP Test

GESTRA completed a total of eight dynamic cone penetration (DCP) tests, one at each SPT

boring location in order to assess the strength properties of the upper subgrade soil.

The DCP test consists of driving a rod with a 60 degree angled conical tip into the soil by

dropping a single-mass 17.6-pound hammer from a travel length of 22.6 inches. Each drop is

called a blow, the number of blows per depth driven into the soil is recorded. The resistance, or

blows per depth, was correlated to common soil parameters. Dynamic cone penetration (DCP)

tests were performed at each boring locations below the pavement sections for assessing in-situ

strength parameters correlating to the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), subgrade modulus (k-

value) and resilient modulus (MR) for the designing the proposed pavement sections for heavy

loads. DCP test results are attached in Appendix III with this report. The generalized subgrade

strength assessment based on DCP test results are reported in Table 3.

3.3 Groundwater Observations

Groundwater was observed in boring TB-2, TB-5, TB-6 and TB-8 during drilling operation. The

shallowest observed water level was 4.5 feet in boring TB-5. The groundwater level may

fluctuate with time and seasonal changes due to variations in precipitation, evaporation, surface

water runoff and local dewatering. Perched water pockets or higher water table may also be

encountered during wet weather periods, particularly in more permeable silt and sand seams or

fill material overlying less permeable clays. Installation and monitoring of an observation well

would be required to assess true groundwater elevation. Groundwater is not expected to be

encountered during subgrade preparation. If perched water is encountered during subgrade

preparation, we anticipate the appropriate number of temporary sump pits and pumps should be

sufficient to remove anticipated volume of water.

4.0 ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Subgrade Preparation

The near surface soil in most borings was clayey soil with a fairly high moisture content (over

20%) and in several cases (TB-1, TB-2, and TB-7) the organic content was 4% or higher. The

subgrade soils were generally in a stiff condition due to long term loading under the pavement.

However, high moisture soils with organics are easily disturbed under direct contact loads

(trucking), particularly in marginal to wet weather. It is likely that during original construction

there was not adequate time and budget for removal of the soils with moderate organic content.

New construction will now be faced with potential problems due to these soils which are easily

disturbed. We are including two options below for subgrade preparation. Option 1 would have a

lower initial cost with greater potential for extras, particularly if subgrade is exposed outside of

dry periods in the months of June through August. Subgrade parameters for pavement design

recommended in Table 3 are slightly better if Option 2 is followed. In either option it would be

important to minimize truck loading over the subgrade.

Option 1: Minimal Replacement

If construction activity can be planned for the summer season and prepared subgrade can be

protected from disturbance (particularly during wet weather), subgrade preparation can proceed

in a manner to minimize the amount of excavation and replacement. The subgrade material is

currently in a stiff condition. The amount of traffic loading on the subgrade should be

minimized as the soil condition could deteriorate with repeated heavy equipment loads. After

excavation to the planned grade, the subgrade can be compacted. Where subgrade yielding is

evident under compaction equipment, excavation and replacement and/or use of biaxial geogrid

will be required (discussed below).

Advantage – lower cost subgrade preparation.

Disadvantage – Slightly lower subgrade parameters could require thicker pavement section.

Requires work proceed in dry summer weather. Higher risk of extra costs if subgrade cannot be

compacted to a firm condition. Because the airport site is relatively level, it may be difficult to

prevent water from ponding in prepared areas, and this could lead to longer stoppages in work.

Option 2: Proofroll with Removal and Replacement:

After removal of the existing pavement section we recommend re-compacting the subgrade

followed by a proofroll. The proofroll should be completed with a fully loaded tri-axle dump

truck moving at no more than 5 mph to determine the stability of subgrade soils. Soil

remediation work may be needed where excessive yielding during the proofroll is noted. The

type of remediation and the depth needed should be determined at the time of construction based

on drainage, weather and soil conditions. Therefore, a geotechnical engineer should be present

during the proofroll in order to identify soft or unstable areas, if any, and subsequently

recommend rectification procedures. Based on the high moisture content (>20%) with various

amount of organic matter observed in the near surface soil in boring TB-1, TB-2, TB-6, TB-7

and TB-8, it is likely that the subgrade at these locations show instability, particularly outside of

dry summer season conditions. For budgeting purposes, we estimate that 50% of the subgrade

would require excavation and replacement and/or use of biaxial geogrid (discussed below).

Removal and Replacement:

Removal and replacement of soft or unstable soils can be performed by a smooth bucket backhoe

or small dozer and replaced with well graded granular fill. For budgeting purpose, 24-inches of

excavation below subgrade (EBS) may be needed for remediation of yielding subgrade.

Granular fill should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum dry density as obtained by the

maximum Modified Proctor Density (ASTM D1557). If an open graded clean stone is used as

fill, a geotextile separator fabric might be necessary to provide an adequate separation between

the underlying subgrade and new fill and to prevent migration of the finer subgrade soils into the

void space of the new fill. The depth of EBS can be reduced if a biaxial geogrid is used, as

described below.

Geogrid:

A layer of BX 1200 geogrid or similar product can generally be used to reduce a 24-inch EBS to

a 12-inch EBS. A minimum of 10 inches of granular soil (which may include the base course

Page 9: Geotechnical Exploration and Subgrade Evaluation … · strength parameters correlating to the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), subgrade modulus (k-value) and resilient modulus (M

material) is necessary over geogrid to provide proper confinement under the pavement section.

Use of geogrid is based on the following assumptions:

� The subgrade should be smoothed and shaped to the required grade prior to installation of

geogrid.

� No traffic or construction equipment will be allowed to travel directly over geogrid.

� The geogrid should be rolled out and pulled taut manually to remove wrinkles.

� Parallel strips should be overlapped at least 18 inches.

� Geogrid should be covered within 72 hours of installation.

4.2 Soil Parameters for Taxiway Pavement Design

From an evaluation of the available data, and referring to the information available in the Airport

Pavement Design and Evaluation Manual – U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation

Administration (AC No: 150/5320-6E, Chapter 2); we recommend that the specific pavement

design values outlined below be used in establishing the appropriate pavement section(s) for the

project.

The recommended average soil parameters for the project area are indicated in Table 4 assuming

that the subgrade soil is prepared as described in Section 4.1 of this report. These parameters

assume soil preparation has been performed as identified in this report and are based on a general

average Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) for the subgrade soils of CL.

black soil with organic content over 4%.

Based on the observed soil conditions with relatively high moisture and organic matter, it is

likely that some areas of subgrade improvement may be needed. Additionally, the use of the

recommended design values is based on the following assumptions:

• The subgrade has been closely monitored during development of the subbase.

• The subgrade has been thoroughly and adequately compacted.

• Wet zones have been dried, drained, or removed.

GESTRA Engineering, Inc. Page 10 16011-10

• Pockets of dissimilar material have been removed, replaced or mixed to achieve a

homogeneous subgrade.

• Adequate subgrade drainage has been achieved.

4.3 Drainage

One of the important considerations in constructing a high quality and durable pavement is

providing adequate drainage. Drainage design is outside of our scope for this project. Ponding

on the turf area near or along the pavement edge may reduce the structural capacity of the

pavement and affect the serviceability. We recommend a system along the edges of the taxiway

to provide adequate drainage in the base course. The existing catch basins and storm sewer

systems should also be maintained regularly to prevent flooding and long term ponding.

5.0 EXPLORATION AND TESTING PROCEDURES

5.1 Layout and Elevation Procedures

A total of eight SPT soil borings were completed at the locations shown on the attached Boring

Layout Plans in Appendix I. The borehole locations were selected, located on the field by

GESTRA and surveyed by Airport Engineering Department.

5.2 Field Testing Procedures

All of the boreholes were drilled using a CME 45 truck mounted drill rig. Each borehole was

initiated and drilled to the termination depth using 2¼ inch hollow stem augers. All

representative soil samples were taken in general accordance with the “Standard Method for

Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils” (ASTM D1586). After collecting each

sample, a soil sample was retained and placed in a jar and recorded for type, color, consistency,

and moisture, sealed and then transported to the laboratory for further review and testing, if

required. The specific drilling method used including the depths, rig type, crew chief, and

borehole abandonment are included on each individual boring log.

5.3 Laboratory Testing Procedures

After completion of drilling operations, all of the retained soil samples were transported to

GESTRA’s laboratory and classified by a geotechnical engineer using the Unified Soil

Classification System (USCS) classification system. A chart describing the classification system

used is included in the Appendix I of this report. The engineer assigned laboratory testing suited

to extract important index properties of the soil layers. These tests included moisture and

organic content, Atterberg Limit, Modified Proctor density, P200 and unconfined compressive

strength tests. Results from the laboratory testing can be found on the individual boring logs and

in Appendix II of this report.

STANDARD OF CARE

Our exploration was limited to evaluating subsurface soil and groundwater conditions pertaining

to the proposed project. GESTRA did not perform any environmental, chemical, or

hydrogeologic testing as these were not part of our work scope.

This report should be made available in its entirety to bidding contractors for information

purposes. The soil borings and site sketch should not be detached from this report. Our report is

not valid if used for purposes other than what is described in the report.

All OSHA regulations such as those regarding proper sloping and temporary shoring of

excavations should be followed during the entire construction process.

GESTRA has presented our professional opinions in this report in the form of recommendations.

Our opinions are based on our understanding of current project information and related accepted

engineering practices at the time of this report. Other than this, no warranty is implied or

intended.

WATER LEVEL Water levels shown on the boring logs are the levels measured in the borings at the time and under the conditions indicated. In sand, the indicated levels may be considered reliable ground water levels. In clay soil, it may not be possible to determine the ground water level within the normal time required for test borings, except where lenses or layers of more pervious waterbearing soil are present. Even then, an extended period of time may be necessary to reach equilibrium. Therefore, the position of the water level symbol for cohesive or mixed texture soils may not indicate the true level of the ground water table. Perched water refers to water above an impervious layer, thus impeded in reaching the water table. The available water level information is given at the bottom of the log sheet.
