Construction materials testing for a municipal parking-facility expansion — subgrade soils, plasticity-index testing, and structural concrete.
Scope
Construction materials testing for a municipal parking-facility expansion — subgrade soils, plasticity-index testing, and structural concrete.
Site Challenge
Expansion of a municipal parking facility for the City of Houston on Houston-area clay subgrade, where soil plasticity and subgrade preparation directly affect pavement and structural concrete performance.
Work Performed
Construction materials testing during the expansion, including sampling and plasticity-index testing of subgrade soils, field density and compaction testing, and sampling, casting and compressive-strength testing of structural concrete.
Deliverables
Laboratory and field test reports for subgrade soils, plasticity index and structural concrete, documenting conformance with City of Houston project specifications.
