INTRODUCTION

SEWER LINE TRENCH SETTLEMENT INVESTIGATION
This investigation into the possible cause of settlements along Oak
Ridge Drive in the area generally south and west of the Ninth Grade
Center was authorized by the City of Round Rock in the latter part of
May, 1981. Oak Ridge Drive was constructed about 4 years ago. An 8-
inch diameter sewer line runs along the south side of the street at a
depth of about 12 feet or so. The visual appearance of the pavement
is good with the exception of quite noticable settlements along the
sewer line route. It is my understanding that the settlements have
gradually worsened through the years but have recently become a haz-
ard to vehicular traffic. The purpose of the investigations described
herein was to examine the sewer trench backfill to ascertain what has
caused the settlements.
TEST PIT EXCAVATION NO. 1
OAK RIDGE DRIVE, ROUND ROCK, TEXAS
This first excavation was made on June 3, 1981 at a manhole located
about 120 feet west of the most westerly entrance to the Ninth Grade
Center. The depression appeared to be about 2 to 3 inches down from
the surrounding pavement. The hot mix was removed and found to be from
1.25 to 1.5 inches in thickness. The underlying base material was

examined by field density tests and the excavation continued. The base
material continued to a total depth of 23 inches as measured from the
top of the pavement. The base material consisted of a fine crushed
limestone product described locally as "screenings ", "scalping ", or
"crusher fines ". The results of the field density tests are summarized
on Plate I and the results of the ASTM D698 moisture - density curve are
shown on Plate II. These results indicate that the screenings are ade-
quately compacted in the upper areas but with an indication of lower
densities with depth.
Just after the hot mix was removed from the area surrounding the man-
hole, it was noted that an opening was present on the west side of the
manhole in the area where the largest depression had been evident. It
appeared that the opening had been created as the backfill settled and
pulled away from the manhole.
At a depth of 23 inches, the backfill material changed into a mixture
of limestone fines and boulders. The boulders varied in size from small
(4 to 8 inches) to large (over 18 inches). At a depth of 32 inches an
opening was encountered. Upon investigation the opening, which was
approximately 2 to 3 inches wide, extended back and downward towards the
manhole. The excavation continued to a depth of . 8 feet at which point
the test pit was terminated. The backfill materials were not overly
saturated and in fact felt to be at optimum or just above. Several
large boulders were removed but the backfill material was mostly smaller

boulders intermixed with the crusher fines. The materials tended to
readily slough into the hole during the excavation process indicating
low shear strength and lack of cohesion.
TEST PIT EXCAVATION NO. 2
Test Pit No. 2 was started on June 3, 1981 but delayed by rain follow-
ing removal of the hot mix surface. Field density tests nos. 5 and 6
were taken prior to the rainfall and the area filled with base material
until a later date when the excavation could be continued.
On June 30, 1981 the excavation was resumed. This second location was
in an area of severely depressed pavement extending over a length of
approximately 120 feet and starting at a point about 120 feet west of
the first excavation at the manhole. Field measurements indicated
settlements on the order of 3.5 to 4.5 inches over a large portion of
this area. The depressed area began near the center line and extended
over the south half of the street to a point generally 8 feet from the
curb. At one location the depression extended over to the curb and
gutter such that the hot mix had dropped about 0.5 inch from the gutter.
The width of the depression averaged from 4 to 10 feet over this 120
foot section.
The actual backhoe excavation was made in one of the worst depressions
in the center of the larger area just described. The hot mix surface
measured 1.5 to 2.0 inches and was underlain by 18 inches of crushed
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION

limestone screenings serving as the base material. The screenings upon
visual examination were noted to be near optimum for compaction. Below
the screenings, the rock boulder and screening mixture was encountered
and continued over the remainder of the excavation. As in the other
excavation the boulders were normally small with scattered larger boul-
ders interbedded. As the excavation proceeded the sides remained fair-
ly stable to a depth of about 4 feet but then began to slough severely
such that advancement of the hole was slowed by removal of the fall -in.
At a depth of about 3.5 feet prior to the excavation beginning to cave,
a void was located in the side just below a rock of 8 inch length. The
void was small perhaps only 0.5 inch wide but was felt to be represent-
ative of other voids which could not be observed due to the backhoe
type excavation.
The excavated material remained fairly dry in appearance down to 4 feet
then became moist but not wet down to about 10 feet where more moisture
was noted. Just below 10 feet, seepage water was encountered andwas
flowing into the excavation from all directions. In further efforts to
extend the excavation, the sewer line was encountered and broken allow-
ing the seepage water to enter. The excavation was abandoned at this
depth' (about 11 feet) and the sewer line was repaired and backfilled.

SETTLEMENT MECHANISM
TRINITY ENGINEERING TESTING CORPORATION
Based on our visual observations along Oak Ridge Drive and in the two
test pit excavations, the following observations and comments would
seem to be appropriate:
1. The street is constructed in an area where limestone is present
at the existing ground level and thus the street should not be
settling due to poor subgrade conditions.
. The settlement area tends to follow the sewer trench alignment.
The remainder of the street areas are in excellent condition.
3. The backfill material is not considered to be of particularly
poor quality with the exception of the presence of rock boul-
ders larger than 6 to 8 inches. Sufficient quantities of fines
were present to act as filler and binder between the larger
aggregate and rock boulders.
4 . Several voids were noted having been created as the result of
the settlements of the underlying fill or due to the initial
placement procedure.
. Observations of the sewage effluent flow in the manhole indi-
cated small flow quantities and no signs of material being
washed into the sewer line. However, following the rupture
of the line during the excavation of test pit no. 2, the flow
increased substantially and was "muddy" evidencing the flow
of the crusher fines into the broken line.
. Observations adjacent to the sewer line in test pit no. 2 and
adjacent to a water service line in test pit no. 1 indicated
that the rock boulder type fill had been placed directly
against or close enough to these pipes such that a distin-
guishable cushioning layer could not be identified.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION
It is my opinion that the settlement has occured as the result of poor
compaction of the sewer backfill. Similar settlements over utility
trenches are noted throughout the Round Rock West area. The depth of
the trench along Oak Ridge Drive has undoubtedly contributed to the
extent of present settlements since more loose material is available to
consolidate. Remedial repair should probably include removal of the hot
mix in the affected areas to an extent that heavy compaction equipment
can proof -roll the area and then be followed by a hot mix asphaltic
concrete level -up. This is no guarentee against future settlement but
would seem to be the most logical and economical approach to placing
the street back in service.

assigned to the inspection team, with the approval of the CLIENT, for a minimum
period of one month.
Transportation: Each member of the inspection team will be provided with trans-
portation to allow mobility from one portion of "The Project" site to another.
Mobil Communication: Preliminary plans are to use CB radios to communicate be-
tween the field laboratory- office and the transportation units. This form of
communication will be provided without additional cost to the CLIENT. In the
event that communication using CB radios is ineffective, the LABORATORY proposes
to negotiate an additional fee to provide two -way radio units in two of the
inspection -team vehicles.
Facilities: A field laboratory- office unit will be set up at the Water Treatment
Plant site. Electricity and telephone service will be provided by the LABORATORY.
Proposed Services: The following services are to be provided during the
construction:
I. Services Performed by the On -Site Inspection Team:
A. Project Administration: The field engineer will direct members
of the inspection team, maintain all records of material inspec-
tion and tests, assist the contractors in interpreting "The
Project" plans and specifications, and maintain other records of
The Project" that the CLIENT requires. The field engineer will
consult with the design engineer on any interpretation of "The
Project" plans and specifications that may be required.
B. Site Work: An inspector- technician will provide visual inspec-
tion of the foundation grouting, site clearing and subgrade
preparation, and compaction of fill materials and pavement mate-
rials. Each type of soil to be compacted will be sampled and
delivered to the Austin laboratory for determination of the max-
imum unit weight and optimum moisture content. Field Density
tests will be performed by the inspector- technician as the mate-
rials are compacted.
C. Foundation Inspection: An inspector- technician will make visual
inspection of the foundation excavations prior to the placement
of reinforcing steel and concrete to assure a proper bearing
surface. Size and placement of reinforcing steel will also be
observed.

D. Water Line Inspection: An inspector- technician will make visual
inspection of the trench excavations, preparation of the bedding
material, pipe placement and connection, leak testing, and back -
fill placement and compaction.
E. Concrete: The inspector- technician will make periodical visits
to the concrete batch plant to observe the materials, moisture
corrections for batch weights and the batching operations. Dur-
ing the placement of concrete the inspector- technician will check
each redimix truck as it arrives on the project to observe and
maintain the consistency of the concrete and control the water
added at the job site. The inspector - technician will perform air
content, slump tests and make concrete cylinders on a regular
basis. A record of the quantity of concrete and the temperature
of the plastic concrete will be maintained for each day's opera-
tion. The inspector- technician will transport the concrete cyl-
inders to the Austin laboratory after they are twenty hours of
age.
F. Materials and Equipment: An inspector- technician will visually
inspect all pipe, pumps, valves, and other materials and equip-
ment prior to their being incorporated in the project.
