The coefficient of interaction is ba sed on the soil being a granular, non-cohesive material with less than 10% fines. If these base soils are not available, perform a site specific design and increase the base course thickness, accordingly.
g.Subgrade Stabilization. Provide a woven geotextile, geogrid or geogrid/geotextile combination, as specified in the Contract Document s, for subgrade stabilization that complies with the properties in TABLE 1710-2 . This table is only applicable for subgrades with CBR values greater than 1. For subgrades with CBR values less than 1, a site specific design will be required.

a.All material provided under this specification must be prequalified through the Engineer of Tests. 1710 – GEOSYNTHETICS
1700-19 b. Manufacturers interested in prequalif ying material under this specification must provide, to the Engineer of
Tests, at least a 1 foot by 1 foot sample of the material, installation instructions for the material, certification that the properties of the type of material submitted meet the re quirements of this specification, current NTPEP testing results associated with the type of material submitted and any other information requested by the Engineer of Tests.
c.The submittals will be evaluated for compliance with th is specification, and the manufacturer will be notified of the results.
d.Approved materials will be placed on the prequalified list maintained by the Bureau of Construction and Materials. Products will remain on the prequalified list as long as the field performance and NTPEP test results of the product are satisfactory. 1710.5 BASIS OF ACCEPTANCE
a.Prequalification as specified in subsection 1710.4 .
b.Receipt and approval of a Type C certification as specified in DIVISION 2600 for each shipment. A shipment consists of all material arriving at the job site at substantially the same time but in no instance greater than 1 week. Each week will constitute a new time period requiring a new Type C certification even if the site has been supplied continuously from the previous week.
c.Visual inspection of the material at the job site for quality of workmanship and damage incurred during shipping or job site storage.
