Abstract:
Geotechnical Control Procedure (GCP-20) Procedure for Taking Random Samples of Backfill Material for Mechanically Stabilized Earth Systems provides a uniform and non-biased method by which the Department will select locations to take samples of backfill material behind a MSES structure during construction. To connect the manual with the Standard Specifications, the Basis of Acceptance section of §733-02 Mechanically Stabilized Earth System Backfill Material was revised to incorporate a reference to the manual.
