17、4 The definition of articulating concrete block systemsdoes not distinguish between interlocking and non-interlockingblock geometries, between cable-tied and non-cable-tied sys-tems, between vegetated and non-vegetated systems or be-tween methods of manufacturing or placement. Furthermore,the defini

18、tion does not restrict or limit the block size, shape,strength, or longevity; however, guidelines and recommenda-tions regarding these factors are incorporated into this stan-dard. This standard does not specify size restrictions forindividual block units. Block systems are available in eitheropen-c

19、ell or closed-cell varieties.5.5 The installation of articulated concrete block systemsshall be performed so as to maintain intimate contact betweenthe blocks, the geotextile filter and the subgrade that the systemis intended to protect.6. Procedure6.1 Subgrade Preparation:6.1.1 Stable and compacted

20、 subgrade soil shall be preparedto the lines, grades and cross sections shown on the contractdrawings. Termination trenches and transitions between slopes,embankment crests, benches, berms and toes shall be com-pacted, shaped and uniformly graded to facilitate the develop-ment of intimate contact be

21、tween the ACB system and theunderlying grade. Termination between the articulating con-crete block revetment system and a concrete slab, wall orsimilar structure, shall be secured in a manner which preventssoil migration.6.1.2 The subgrade soil conditions shall meet or exceed therequired material pr

22、operties described in 6.1.4. prior to place-ment of the block. Soils not meeting the requirements shall beremoved and replaced with acceptable material.6.1.3 Care shall be exercised so as not to excavate below thegrades shown on the contract drawings, unless directed by theEngineer to remove unsatis

23、factory materials. Any excessiveexcavation shall be filled with approved backfill material andcompacted. Where it is impractical, in the opinion of theEngineer, to dewater the area to be filled, over-excavationsshall be backfilled with approved backfill material.6.1.4 When placing in the dry, the ar

24、eas to receive the ACBsystem shall be graded to establish a smooth surface and ensurethat intimate contact is achieved between the subgrade surfaceand the geotextile, and between the geotextile and the bottomsurface of the ACB system. Unsatisfactory soils, soils havingexcessive in-place moisture con

25、tent and soils containing clods,roots, sod, brush, or other organic materials shall be removed,backfilled with approved material and compacted. It is recom-mended that the subgrade be uniformly compacted to aminimum of 90 percent of Standard Proctor density (TestMethod D698). Should the subgrade sur

26、face for any reasonbecome rough, corrugated, uneven, textured or traffic markedprior to ACB installation, such unsatisfactory portion shall bescarified, reworked, re-compacted or replaced as directed bythe Engineer. Excavation of the subgrade above the water lineshall not be more than 2 in. (50 mm)

27、below the grade indicatedon the contract drawings. Where such areas are below theallowable grades, they shall be brought to grade by placing andcompacting approved material in layers not exceeding 6 in.(150 mm) thick. Where such areas are above the allowablegrades, they shall be brought to grade by

28、removing material orreworking existing material and compacting. The subgradeshall be raked, screeded, or rolled by hand or machine toachieve a smooth compacted surface that is free of loosematerial.6.2 Placement of Geotextile:6.2.1 Immediately prior to placing the geotextile and ACBsystem, the prepa

29、red subgrade shall be inspected. The geotex-tile shall be placed directly on the prepared area, in intimatecontact with the subgrade and free of folds or wrinkles. Thegeotextile shall be placed in such a manner that placement ofthe overlying materials will not excessively stretch or tear thegeotexti

30、le. After geotextile placement, the work area shall notbe disturbed so as to result in a loss of intimate contact betweenthe concrete block, the geotextile, and the subgrade. Thegeotextile shall not be left exposed longer than the manufac-turers recommendation to minimize potential damage due toultr

31、aviolet radiation.6.2.2 The geotextile shall be placed so that upstream stripsoverlap downstream strips and so that upslope strips overlapdownslope strips. Overlaps shall be in the direction of flowwherever possible. The longitudinal and transverse joints shallbe overlapped at least 3 ft (91 cm) for

32、 below-water installationsand at least 1.5 ft (46 cm) for dry installations. If a sewn seamis to be used for the seaming of the geotextile, the thread to beused shall consist of high strength polypropylene or polyesterand shall be resistant to ultraviolet radiation. The geotextileshall extend beyond

33、 the top, toe and side termination points ofthe revetment. If necessary to expedite construction and tomaintain the recommended overlaps anchoring pins, “U”-staples or weights shall be used. Granular filters may be usedin place of, or in combination with, the geotextile per theEngineers design drawi

34、ngs and specifications.6.3 Placement of Articulating Concrete Block System:6.3.1 The articulating concrete block system shall be placedon the geotextile in such a manner as to produce a surface inaccordance with 6.3.3 that achieves intimate contact with thegeotextile.6.3.2 Placement of the ACB syste

35、m, whether as mats or byhand, shall be performed to ensure that the individual blocks liein intimate contact with the geotextile and subgrade. For blockswithin a mat and blocks that are hand placed, the joint spacingbetween adjacent blocks is to be maintained so that binding ofblocks does not occur

36、and so that block to block interconnec-tion is achieved. In areas of curvature or grade change,alignment of an individual block with adjacent blocks shall beoriented such that intimate contact between the block, geotex-tile, and subgrade is maintained and block to block intercon-nection is achieved.

37、6.3.3 Care shall be taken during block installation so as toavoid damage to the geotextile or subgrade during the instal-lation process. Preferably, where the geotextile is laid on theground prior to the ACB installation, the ACB placement shallD6884 03 (2010)2begin at the upstream section and proce

38、ed downstream. If anACB system is to be installed starting downstream andproceeding in the upstream direction, a contractor option is toconstruct a temporary toe trench at the front edge of the ACBsystem to protect against flow which could otherwise under-mine the system during flow events. On slope

39、d sections wherepractical, placement shall begin at the toe of the slope andproceed upslope. Block placement shall not bring block-to-block interconnections into tension. Individual blocks withinthe plane of the finished system shall not exceed a 0.5 in. (13mm) protrusion or greater protrusion than

40、the tolerance refer-enced in the contract documents.6.3.4 If assembled and placed as large mats, the ACB matscan be attached to a spreader bar to aid in the lifting andplacing of the mats in their proper position with a crane orbackhoe. The mats shall be placed side by side and/or end toend, so that

41、 the mats abut each other. Mat seams or openingsbetween mats that are 2 in. (50 mm) or greater in the matrixshall be filled with grout. Whether placed by hand or as mats,distinct grade changes shall be accommodated with a well-rounded transition (that is, minimum radius per specific systemcharacteri

42、stics). However, if a discontinuous revetment surfaceexists in the direction of flow, a grout seam at the grade changelocation shall be provided to produce a continuous, flushfinished surface.6.4 Termination Trenches:6.4.1 Termination of blocks shall be in excavated trencheswhich shall be properly b

43、ackfilled with approved material flushwith the top of the finished surface of the blocks (see 6.1.4).The integrity of the trench backfill shall be maintained toensure a finished surface that is flush with the top surface of thearticulating blocks.6.5 Anchor Penetrations:6.5.1 Anchor penetrations thr

44、ough the geotextile shall begrouted with approved material to prevent migration of subsoilthrough the penetration point.6.6 Finishing:6.6.1 The open area of the articulating concrete blocksystem is typically either backfilled with suitable soil forrevegetation, or with38 to34 in. (10 to 20 mm) diame

45、tercrushed stone. Backfilling with soil or granular fill within thecells of the system shall be completed as soon as practicableafter the revetment has been installed. When topsoil is used asa fill material above the normal waterline, overfill by 1 to 2 in.(25 to 50 mm) to account for backfill mater

46、ial consolidation.6.7 Inspection:6.7.1 The subgrade preparation, geotextile placement andACB system installation, and overall finished condition includ-ing termination trenches shall be inspected.7.
