  4. All transverse construction joints shall have a depth equal to one-fourth of the pavement thickness.
  5. Form offsets at radius points shall be at least two (2) feet.
  6. Pavement joints must be continuous through the curbs.
  7. Where curbs are required, they shall be cast integrally.
  8. The pavement shall be struck-off, consolidated, and finished, to the grades shown on the plans. All catch basins and manhole castings shall be boxed out and separated from the pavement with expansion joint material. All except premolded or sawed joints shall be edged with a tool having a maximum radius of 1/8 inch. Sawed and formed joints shall be cleaned and sealed before opening to traffic. Final surface texture shall be that obtained with a burlap drag. Curing shall be that obtained with a uniform coverage of white membrane curing compound or by seven-day coverage of white polyethylene or waterproof paper. The completed pavement shall be closed to traffic for seven (7) days.

(1) Soils are classified into three groups indicating their relative effectiveness as subgrade: granular soils that drain well; sand, gravel or combination of sand and gravel; generally, soils having a California Bearing Ration (CBR) greater than 10, or having AASHO Soil Classification of A-1, A-2-6, A-2-5, A-2-4, or A-3, and some A-4 soils. Silty clays, or lean clays, that retain considerable strength when wet. These are average subgrade soils; generally soils having a CBR greater than 5 or having an AASHO Soil Classification of A-2-7, A-4, A-7-5, and some A-5 and A-6 soils. Heavy clay soils that lose most of their strength when wet; having an AASHO Soil Classification of A-5, A-6, or A-7-6.
