F&ME performed a geotechnical subsurface exploration and laboratory testing for the bridge and roadway portion of the project. The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) request and scope for the geotechnical subsurface investigation was issued on June 12, 2019. A subsequent laboratory testing scope was issued on August 23, 2019. Copies of these requests can be found in Section 8 of the Appendix of this report. The field investigation consisted of Soil Test Borings (STB) with Standard Penetration Testing (SPT), bulk soil sampling, and auger borings with Shelby Tube sampling. Laboratory testing was performed on soil samples collected from the soil test borings, bulk samples, and undisturbed samples. All exploration methods and laboratory procedures were conducted in general accordance with the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards, and the SCDOT Geotechnical Design Manual (GDM). This report was prepared in general accordance with the 2019 SCDOT Geotechnical Design Manual (GDM), Version 2.0. At the request of F&ME Consultants, GRL Engineers conducted SPT energy measurements in general accordance with ASTM D4633-10 during SPT sampling at a site near the intersection of Lowrys Highway and Hardin Strait Rd in Chester County, South Carolina. Energy measurements on the three rigs were taken during five sampling events at five-foot intervals in dummy soil borings. The starting depth was 28.5 feet for each of the rigs, and ending depth was 50 feet below the existing ground surface. The SPT samples were driven for a total of three, 6 inch increments, or 1.5 feet, and the blow counts for each increment were recorded.
