SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION FOR

REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION

ROUTE 117

IN THE TOWN OF NORWAY, OXFORD COUNTY

Prepared by

Kitty Breskin, P.E. Geotechnical Design Engineer

Oxford County PIN 10020.10 Soils Report 2009-111 Federal STP-A1002(10)X April, 2009

Maine DOT proposes to rebuild a portion of Route 117 in Norway. This is a portion of the project originally intended for this highway. The current project begins 3.06 km south of the intersection of Rte 118 and extends northerly for 1.69 km. This report is a compilation of the data for this section of the original project.

Classification of these soil samples is in accordance with AASHTO Classification System M-145-40. This classification

is followed by the "Frost Susceptibility Rating" from zero (non-frost susceptible) to Class IV (highly frost susceptible).

The "Frost Susceptibility Rating" is based upon the MDOT and Corps of Engineers Classification Systems.

GSDC = Grain Size Distribution Curve as determined by AASHTO T 88-93 (1996) and/or ASTM D 422-63 (Reapproved 1998)

WC = water content as determined by AASHTO T 265-93 and/or ASTM D 2216-98

LL = Liquid limit as determined by AASHTO T 89-96 and/or ASTM D 4318-98

PI = Plasticity Index as determined by AASHTO 90-96 and/or ASTM D4318-98
