15. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
The construction of our modern highways requires the construction of much higher embankments than were being built 10 or 15years ago. In some instances it is impractical to avoid marsh lands or tidal flats where the foundation soils consist of weak, plastic,compressible silts and clays. Special treatment of the foundation soils and unusual construction methods not covered in theCalifornia Standard Specifications, are usually necessary to construct stable embankments in these areas. The use of berms andcontrolled rates of construction to assure the construction of stable embankments, as well as the use of surcharges and waitingperiods to minimize the amount of detrimental settlement subsequent to paving on four State of California highway contracts aredescribed.
Surcharges and waiting periods have been used by the California Division of Highways for a number of years. The methodsused in the design and construction of embankments across four lagoons in San Diego County are presented herein. The projects,part of the Interstate Highway 5, are located from a point within the north end of the City of San Diego and extend northerly for adistance of approximately 12 miles. The construction across the lagoons where the poor foundation soil exist, covers a distance ofapproximately 2.7 miles.
