VALUE DESIGN FOR ROADS USING LITHIFIED TECHNOLOGIES LithTec4RoadsT"
In order to determine suggested road base thickness, LithTec1' dosage, and surface course thickness,
the first step is to analyze the soil under the current road to be replaced or upgraded to ascertain the Atterberg
limits, soil gradation, sieve analysis, AASHTO classification, Proctor and subgrade modulus. These results will help
confirm that the existing road base and asphalt/chip seal surface can be recycled in place and LithTecTM can be
added without any new flex base or other import materials. The next step is to complete an AASHTO Equivalent
Single Axle Load (ESAL) Client Form. Using the ESAL counts and desired life, a value design is created using a
mechanics-based determination of pavement responses, such as stresses, strains, and deflections due to loading
and environmental influences.
DESIGN BANK TESTING
Because Resilient Modulus is a quantified analysis of the elastic modulus based on recoverable strain under
repeated loading, the Resilient Modulus test result is used to support the mechanistic design requirement.
However, in addition to the Resilient Modulus, completing a full bank of tests (Design Bank) with minimum results
required for each test, helps provide a comprehensive view of long term performance expectations, particularly
when permeability is included (as water entering the base is the number one reason for road failures). The Design
Bank testing protocol helps ensure that your design meets minimum performance criteria across five test
disciplines and exposes potential weak spots.

9.2 SPREADER EQUIPMENT: Calibrated spreader equipment to apply the
LITHTEC'" at the percentage rate specified is required.
10. CONSTRUCTION: Construct each layer uniformly, free of loose or segregated areas and with
the required density and moisture content. Provide a smooth surface that conforms to the
typical sections, lines, and grades shown on the plans or as directed.
11. PREPARATION OF SUBGRADE OR EXISTING BASE FOR TREATMENT: Before treating, remove
or pulverize existing asphalt and/or concrete pavement in accordance with the plans. When
amendment materials are required to be mixed with existing subgrade, subbase, or base:
deliver, place, and spread the new material in the required amount. Manipulate and
thoroughly mix all materials that will be included in the lift for treatment.
12. APPLICATION OF LITHTECTM: Uniformly apply LITHTEC'" using dry placement unless otherwise
shown on the plans.Start LITHTEC'" application only when the air temperature is at least 35°F
and rising or is at least 40°F. The temperature shall be taken in the shade and away from
artificial heat. Suspend application when it is determined that weather conditions are
unsuitable.
13. DRY PLACEMENT: Before applying LITHTEC'^', bring the prepared area to be treated to the
approximate Optimum Moisture Content obtained per AASHTO T-99 or TxDOT Tex-113-E, as
may be specified by qualified engineer. Minimize dust and scattering of LITHTEC'' by wind. Do
not apply LITHTEC'' when wind conditions cause blowing to LITHTEC', as it may become
dangerous to traffic or objectionable to adjacent property owners.
14. MIXING: Thoroughly mix the material and LITHTEC'' using approved equipment. Mix until a
2 1.2
LithTecT"Treated Full Depth Lithification
Installation and Performance Specifications
homogeneous mixture is obtained. Sprinkle the treated materials during the mixing
operation, as directed, to maintain Optimum Moisture Content as specified by the plans.
Spread and shape the completed mixture in a uniform layer. After mixing,the roadway
mixture shall be sampled and tested to insure it is in accordance with the LITHTECT" Material
Specification.
15. COMPACTION: Roll with approved compaction equipment, as directed. Compact the mixture
in one lift using density control unless otherwise shown on the plans. Complete compaction
shall be achieved within four (4) hours after the application of LITHTECT". Begin rolling
longitudinally at the sides and proceed towards the center, overlapping on successive trips by
at least one-half the width of the roller unit. On steep sloped curves, begin rolling at the low
side and progress toward the high side. Offset alternate trips of the roller. Operate rollers at a
speed between two (2) and six (6) MPH, as directed. Areas that lose required stability,
compaction, or finish shall be removed and replaced with LITHTECT" treated mixture at the
Contractor's expense. Correct irregularities, depressions and weak spots immediately by
scarifying the areas affected, adding or removing treated material as required, reshaping, and
recompacting.
16. FIELD PERFORMANCE TESTING REQUIREMENTS:
16.1 OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT: Sprinkle or aerate the treated area,
sprinkling to adjust the moisture content during compaction so that it is
within a range of 1.5 percentage points above or below Treated Optimum
Moisture Content gathered from Treated Moisture Density Relations of Soils
(AASHTO T-99, AASHTO T-180, ASTM D1557) as specified by the plans (i.e., if
Optimum Moisture Content is 14,then the range would be 12.5 to 15.5).
16.2 DENSITY: Compact to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Maximum Dry
Density determined in accordance with AASHTO T-99 or TxDOT Tex-113-E, as
may be specified by the qualified engineer. Remove material that does not
meet density requirements. Remove areas that lose required stability,
compaction, or finish. Replace with LITHTECT" treated mixture and compact
and test in accordance with density control methods.
16.3 STIFFNESS: Lightweight DeflectometerTests shall be performed at a minimum
of 3 tests per 800 square yards of treated material.The aggregate average of
the stiffness readings taken per 800 square yards of treated material must
meet the minimum of 90% of the Treated Unconfined Compression test
(AASHTO T-208-15, ASTM D2166M-16) elastic modulus at 4 hours and at 24
hours from the finished treated section.
17. QUALITY CONTROL: All irregularities, depressions, or weak spots which develop shall be
corrected immediately,while treated soil is still moist, by scarifying the areas affected, adding
or removing material as required, and reshaping and re-compacting. The surface of the
LITHTECT" treated layer/lift shall be maintained in a smooth condition, free from undulations
and ruts, until other work is placed there upon or the work is accepted. Compaction and
finishing shall be done in such a manner as to produce a smooth dense surface free of
3 1.2
LithTecT"" Treated Full Depth Lithification
Installation and Performance Specifications
compaction planes, cracks, ridges or loose materials. Throughout this entire operation, the
shape of the course shall be maintained by blading, and the surface upon completion,shall be
smooth and shall conform with the typical section as specified by the customer's project
engineer and to the established lines and grades. Should the material, due to any reason or
cause, lose the required stability, density, and finish before the next course is placed or the
work is accepted, it shall be re-compacted and refinished. Failure to perform quality control
as specified will be considered default of contract and non-compliant with proper installation.
17.1 LITHTECT'"RANDOM SAMPLING AND QUALITY CONTROL TESTING: Enough of
the LithTecTM materials should be sampled at random post spreading for each
800 square yard section to complete a full battery of testing as specified in
the event of a failure, see 6. Random samples taken from the quantity of
LITHTECT' materials collected should be tested to ensure consistency of
blended materials as specified by the engineer.
18. FINISHING: Immediately after completing compaction, clip, skin, or tight blade the surface of
the LITHTECT' treated material to a depth of approximately 1/4 inch. Remove loosened
material and dispose of it at an approved location. Roll the clipped surface immediately with
a pneumatic-tire roller until a smooth surface is attained. Add small increments of water as
needed during rolling. Shape and maintain the course and surface in conformity with the
sections, lines and grades as specified by the plans.
19. CURING:After proper compaction,allow the LITHTECT" treated section to cure for(a)twenty-
four (24) hours when installing another layer/lift or surface course (i.e., chip seal, asphalt or
concrete); or (b) at least two (2) days, by sprinkling with water in accordance with plan or by
maintaining the moisture content during the respective curing period at no lower than 1.5%
percentage points below the Optimum Moisture Content (i.e., if Optimum Moisture Content
is 14,then the range would be 12.5 to 15.5). Do not allow equipment on the LITHTECT"treated
layer/lift during curing except as required for sprinkling, unless otherwise approved. Prior to
placing a surface course (e.g. asphalt, chip seal, etc.) lightly broom fines off the road to allow
for direct adhesion to the curing LITHTECT" base lift.
20. MAINTENANCE: The contractor shall maintain, at their own expense, the entire LITHTECT'"
treated section in good condition from the start of work until all the work has been completed
on the section.
21. MEASUREMENT: The quantity of LITHTECT' treated soils shall be measured by the square
yard, measured in place, treated, compacted to the proper depth, and verified to be in
accordance with the plan.
