100 Clearing & Grubbing: Part C Earthworks

The document outlines testing and compaction requirements for various earthworks including: - Clearing and grubbing specifications for tree diameters and classifications. - Structure excavation and embankment testing including a minimum of one set of three in-situ density tests per 500 square meters and 95% minimum dry density. - Aggregate subbase course specifications including plasticity testing on fractions passing sieves and a maximum 50% mass loss for coarse portions in a Los Angeles Abrasion Test.
