2. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS: The Engineer has the authority to define
erodible earth and the authority to limit the surface area of erodible-earth material
exposed by preparing right-of-way, clearing and grubbing, the surface area of erodible-
earth material exposed by excavation, borrow and to direct the CONTRACTOR to
provide temporary pollution-control measures to prevent contamination of adjacent
streams, other water courses, lakes, ponds or other areas of water impoundment. Such
work may involve the construction of temporary berms, dikes, dams, sediment basins,
slope drains and use of temporary mulches, mats seeding or other control devices or
methods directed by the Engineer as necessary to control soil erosion. Temporary
pollution-control measures shall be used to prevent or correct erosion that may develop
during construction prior to installation of permanent pollution-control features, but are
not associated with pe`rmanent control features on the project. ,' ��
The Engineer will limit the area of preparing right of way, clearing and grubbing,
� excavation and borrow to be proportional to the CONTR.ACTOR'S capability and
progress in keeping the finish grading, mulching, seeding, and other such permanent
pollution-control measures current in accordance with the accepted schedule. Should
.D seasonal conditions make such limitations unrealistic, temporary soil-erosion-control
measures shall be performed as directed by the Engineer. The amount of surface area of
erodible-earth material exposed at one time shall not exceed 750,000 square feet for each
Qexcavation operation, 750,000 square feet for each material source operation (other than
from commercially operated sources), 750,000 square feet for each preparing of right-of-
way operation or 750,000 square feet for each clearing and grubbing operation, unless
� otherwise shown ori the plans or with prior approyal by the Engineer in writing.

S 11.1 - Description
This item govems the use of Ready-Iviix Flowable Fill, sometimes known as Controlled Density Fill
(CDF), as an alternative to compacted �oil. It is sometimes used for beddings, encasement, and
closures for tanks and pipes. It is also used for general backfill in trenches and abutments. Flowable
fill is always less than 2500 psi in ultimate strength and may be designed to be less than 150 psi where
future excavation is probable.
Flowable Sll will normally consist of Portland cement, flyash, sand, fine rock, and water in various
mixtures depending on the design strength of the mixture. It may contain high volumes of entrained
air to act a� a strength capping agent and/or to improve flowability: Ready-lviix flowable fill or
controlled Density Fill is prepared at a batch plant. Slump is designed for 10" to 12" and will
generally be self leveling. It should not require vibration after placement.
511.2 - Materials
A. Portland Cement meeting ASTM C-150
B. Aggregates meeting the requirements of ASTM C-33
C. Sand or fine aggr.egate meeting the City of Ft. Worth Standard Specifications Item

E. Admixtures
1. Mineral admixtures will be pozzolanic materials used i'n the standard ready
mix.
2. Chemical admixtures shall be in liquid or powder form used in standard ready-
mix concrete production unless specifically designed for flowable fill.
Permissible types of admixtures are:
a. High air generators specifically designed for Flowable Fill to lower
unit weights, reduce shrinkage and subsidence, and control
compressive strength. �
b. Air entraining admixtures conforming to ASTM C-264.
c. H'igh range water reducers confomvng to ASTM C-494, Type F or G.
d. Accelerating admixtures confornung to ASTM C-494; Type C.
1) Non chloride, non corrosive accelerators will be used where
metals are present in concrete or embedded members.
2) Calcium chloride.
511.3 - Ivfixtures
The Contractor shall gain the engineer's approval for use of Ready-Nfix Flowable Fill mixture. The
examples of various types listed below are for information only and should be confirmed by trial
batches. The various categories of Ready Mix Flowable Fill are as follows:
lJ
�
�
Type 1 Very flowable-�non-excavatable)
Type IE Very flowabte �excavatable)
Type 2 Flowable (non-excavatable)
Type 2E Flowable (excavatable)
Type 1 mixes wili contain a minimum of 250 Ibs of C[ass C or Class F flyash or high air (25% plus)
and wii[ be self leveling. They ue intended for use in permanent instaIlations such as fill under
structures. They are capable of moving long distances and filling small areas. Type 1 mixes are not
suitable for bedding of pipe. �
Sample Type 1 M'ix
Cement � SOlbs.
Fly ash 2501bs.
Sand 27001bs.
Water 60 gallons
Type 2 mixes are used where size and distance do not require the very flowable characteristics of
Type 1. They are intended for permanent installations such as thick fill under structures. They
typically contain less flyash and/or air unless the excavatable feature is required.
Type lE and 2E mixes (excavatable mixes) shall be hand tool excavatable and shall meet the
following requirements: .
Compressive Strength
Air
28 naX ��X
30-60-psi 100 psi Max
22-30 percent
In the absence of prior strength data, mixes shall contain a minimum of SO lbs. cement, 1501bs. flyash,
and shall have a plastic unit weight of 90-11 S per cu. ft.
511.4 - Execution
A Contractor shall secure site during the placement and curing period for the Flowable Fill using
stantions, lights, fences, steei plates, etc, as required.
B. Contractor's supplier will pretest all pump applications prior to day of placement with actual
