BACKFILL PLACEMENT NOTES <br />1. Place reinforced backfill, spread and compact in a manner that will minimize slack in the reinforcement. <br />2. Place fill within the reinforced zone and compact in lifts not exceeding 6 to 8 inches (loose thickness) where hand -operated <br />compaction equipment is used, and not exceeding 12 inches (loose thickness) where heavy, self propelled compaction <br />equipment is used. <br />a. Only lightweight hand -operated compaction equipment is allowed within 4 feet of the back of the retaining wall units. If <br />unable to achieve minimum compaction requirements replace the reinforced soil in this zone with drainage aggregate <br />material. <br />3. Minimum Compaction Requirements for Fill Placed in the Reinforced Zone: <br />a. Compact to 98 percent of the soil's standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698) for the entire wall height. <br />b. Compaction requirements for fill placed behind the reinforced soil zone shall be specified by the Project Geotechnical <br />Engineer but at no time should be less than 95% of the standard Proctor density (ASTM D698). <br />c. Increase compaction requirements for retaining walls with slope heights at the back of the reinforced soil zone greater <br />than 5 feet above the top of wall. Verify compaction requirements with the Project geotechnical engineer. <br />d. Utility Trench Backfill: Compact utility trench backfill in or below the reinforced soil zone to 98 percent of the soil's <br />standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698), or as recommended by the Project geotechnical engineer. <br />e. Moisture Content: Within 2 percentage points of the optimum moisture content for all wall heights. <br />f. These notes may be changed based on recommendations by the Project geotechnical engineer. <br />4. At the end of each day's operation, slope the last level of compacted backfill away from the interior (concealed) face of the <br />wall to direct surface water runoff away from the wall face. <br />a. The General Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the finished site drainage is directed away from the retaining <br />wall system. <br />b. In addition, the General Contractor is responsible for ensuring that surface water runoff from adjacent construction <br />areas is not allowed to enter the retaining wall area of the construction site. <br />CAP UNIT INSTALLATION NOTES <br />Apply adhesive to the top surface of the unit below and place the cap unit into desired position. <br />Cut cap units as necessary to obtain the proper fit. <br />Backfill and compact to top of cap unit. <br />WALL CONSTRUCTION TOLERANCE NOTES <br />1.

HUYCK <br />MINNETONKA, MN 55345-5996 FLORIDA REGISTRATION: 61043 <br />PHONE: (952) 933-8855 <br />SITE DRAINAGE NOTE <br />This design does not account for any hydrostatic forces on the retaining wall system. It is imperative the finished site grading diverts <br />water away from the block facing and the reinforced soil zone of the retaining wall system. All buildings located above retaining <br />walls must implement gutter systems with downspouts that direct water through solid PVC pipe to the site storm sewer system or to <br />a location below and away from the wall. Building sump pumps should also direct water away from the wall in the same manner. <br />Concentrated discharge of water above the retaining wall and the reinforced soil zone is not allowed. <br />UTILITY NOTES <br />1. Utility information has been provided to Anchor Wall Engineering for the preparation of these plans. <br />2. Utilities must be properly designed (by others) to withstand all forces from the segmental retaining wall units, reinforced soil mass, <br />and surcharge loads (if any). <br />3. Storm drains are prone to leaking. Therefore, if a joint in a storm drain is located within 100 feet behind the retaining wall the storm <br />water pipe must be water tight. Neoprene 0-rings must be installed at all storm pipe joints as a minimum. <br />4. Water lines, including irrigation systems, must be water tight within 100 feet behind the retaining wall. Leakage behind a retaining <br />wall will increase the horizontal pressure against the wall leading to wall failure. For this reason, subsurface waterlines and <br />irrigation systems should not be installed above the reinforced zones of the retaining wall, or within 5 feet of the reinforced zone. <br />GENERAL NOTES <br />1. The owner or owner's representative has not provided foundation or retained soil strength parameters for design of the segmental <br />retaining wall. In preparation of wall design, soil strength parameters for the foundation and retained soils were assumed by <br />Anchor Wall Engineering. It is the responsibility of the owner or owner's representative to verify the assumed soil strength <br />parameters are representative of the soils available for wall construction. If the soil strength parameters are found to be <br />inconsistent with those assumed by Anchor Wall Engineering, this design is no longer valid and it is the responsibility of the <br />owner or owner's representative to notify Anchor Wall Engineering so the retaining wall system can be redesigned. Failure to <br />notify Anchor Wall Engineering may result in failure of the retaining wall. <br />2. Assumed Design Soil Parameters: <br />a. Reinforced soil: phi = 30 degrees gamma = 115 pcf. <br />b. Retained soil: phi = 30 degrees gamma = 115 pcf. <br />C. Foundation soil: phi = 30 degrees gamma = 115 pcf. <br />3. Any excavation below the wall should have proper 1:1 lateral oversizing. Excavation oversizing should be measured from the <br />front of the gravel leveling pad and the back of the lowest reinforcement layer. Refer to detail 2 on sheet W19. <br />4. Wall stationing shown on sheets W4 through W17 is not related to any other stationing shown on the grading plans. Station 0+00 <br />is on the left end of the wall as seen from the front of the wall. <br />5. This set of segmental retaining wall plans are based on the grading plans prepared by Cornelison Engineering & Design, Inc., <br />dated June 28, 2019. If other plans are produced that contain different information than that referenced, this plan may need to be <br />revised and/or the walls may need to be redesigned. <br />6. This set of segmental retaining wall plans are based specifically on the walls being constructed with Anchor Diamond Pro block <br />and Mirafi Miragrid 3XT reinforcement products. Absolutely no substitutions allowed. <br />7. Locations of the segmental retaining walls in relation to property lines, utility easements, watershed easements, or any other type <br />of easements are the responsibility of the owner or the site civil engineer. Anchor Wall Engineering assumes no liability for the <br />locations of the segmental retaining walls, or if construction of the proposed segmental retaining walls encroaches any property <br />lines or easements. <br />8. It is imperative that the site surveying of the segmental retaining walls be done by the site civil engineer or surveyor and must be <br />based on computer generated site/grading plans and not profile plans done by Anchor Wall Engineering. Surveying of the <br />segmental retaining walls must take into account the design batter indicated on the enclosed plans and details. Failure to take <br />into account wall batter for segmental retaining wall surveying will produce incorrect locations of all top of walls and shall be <br />corrected at no cost to Anchor Wall Engineering or the segmental retaining wall contractor. <br />9. Wall geometry, locations, slopes and surcharge loads for the segmental retaining walls were measured from the site grading plan <br />referenced above, and partially reproduced on sheet W1. If conditions vary in the field from those shown on this plan, Anchor <br />Wall Engineering must be notified prior to construction of the segmental retaining walls to review the design and/or plans. <br />Modifications to the design and/or plans may be required after the review, and may take up to ten business days to complete. <br />10. These segmental retaining walls have been designed in general accordance with the 2017 Florida Building Code, 6th Edition. <br />11. If there are discrepancies between any information on these plans and information in the project specifications, the more <br />restrictive information takes precedence. <br />Scale: 0 1 <br />NOT TO VERIFY THAT THE BAR ABOVE <br />SCALE IS 1".
