The key to the comparison is subgrade preparation, concrete thickness, forming method, and finishing specifications. If proper design is used, concrete paving is a viable option, since its durability andHERCULES STANDARD ERCL Hercules Incorporated HERCULES | Wimingion, DE 98] CTYTL, ENGINEERING CRITERIA 2DE-1AL josey H.P.HOWARD ees — uta APPROVED. revise moe 8 Of 12 Lewy, L life cycle costs can be far superior to asphalt. Presently, asphalt gests are increasing much faster than concrete costs; consequently, EQture comparisons should be weighted toward increased use of concrete paving. 9.1.2 It is expensive to disturb concrete once it has been placed, Therefore, concrete. paving in areas where underground Utilities or erosion exist is not a favorable situation. 9.2 Concrete Paving 9.2.1 Concrete for paving construction shall be in accor- dance with 14CS-02515, Portland Cement Concrete Paving. 9.2.2 The thickness, reinforcement, and extent of concrete paving shall be as indicated on the design drawings. In generaly Porcrete paving shall be limited to areas in and around process equip- fent, under the pipeways in the process areas, and truck loading and unloading areas. 9.2.3 Areas subject to spills, wash water and firewater shall be paved with a minimum thickness of 4 inches of reinforced Concrete except for those areas subject to vehicular traffic where thickness shall be in accordance with paragraph 9.2.4. Raised curb enclosures, constructed with low point or sump at one corner of the enclosuré, shall be provided at specific locations to collect possible spills of hazardous liquids. . 9.2.4 Paving slabs subject to vehicular traffic shall be paved with a minimum thickness of 6 inches of reinforced concrete. The design of this paving shall be based on the PCA method, Thickness Design for Concrete Pavement, including the maximum wheel load antici pated on the pavement, the number of passes of all vehicles heavier than a passenger car during the design life of the pavement, the modulus of rupture, the modulus of subgrade reaction, and the subgrade CBR (California Bearing Ratio) which is provided in the geotechnical report. Unless otherwise specified, the design shall be based on HS-20 truck wheel load of 16,000 pounds. 9.3 Asphalt Paving 9.3.1 Asphalt paving shall be in accordance with the fol- lowing specifications: a. 14CS-02513 - Asphalt Concrete Paving, Walks, and curbs b. 2ES-6Al - Curbs and Walks - Typical Sections, AsphalticHERCULES STANDARD HERCULES | Hercules incorporated H.P.
