REPORT OF GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
STATE HIGHWAY 55 OVER BIG ELK CREEK WASHITA COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
BRFY-175C(106)SS 26479(04)
PROJECT NO. 11064
This report presents the results of the geotechnical investigation performed for the replacement of the triple span bridge over Big Elk Creek located along State Highway 55 approximately 5.1 miles east of the Beckham County line in Washita County, Oklahoma. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the subsurface conditions at the site and to provide information pertaining to the geotechnical aspects of the proposed project.
Proposed Construction
The project will include the replacement of the triple span bridge with a four span bridge including new piers, abutments and approaches along the current alignment.
Scope of Work
The scope of this investigation includes the following:
1. Review of previous geotechnical and geological information of sites near this site. This was augmented with data obtained during the field investigation phase of the project.
2. Investigation of the subsurface soils by drilling and testing a total of 5 boreholes within the planned project area.
3. A laboratory testing program consisting of moisture content, Atterberg limits, sieve analysis and soluble sulfate testing on the soils encountered. Water testing was also performed on water samples collected from the project site.
4. Additional considerations for sustainable design and construction pertaining to aspects of this project.

FIELD AND LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS
Field Exploration
Subsurface exploration was performed February 2 through February 8, 2012. The borings were located in the field by a representative of Red Rock Consulting by measuring distances from known site reference points as depicted on plans provided by HW Lochner. The locations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used to define them.
The subsurface exploration program consisted of drilling 5 borings under the full time supervision of an engineer. One boring was drilled at each of the abutment locations and at the three pier locations. The boring locations are shown on the boring location diagram, which is included in Appendix A.
The borings were drilled 30 feet into bedrock following Standard Penetration Test (SPT) refusal at the surface of the bedrock. The borings were advanced using wet rotary drilling methods from an all-terrain CME-75 drill rig equipped with an automatic hammer. Samples of the overburden materials were obtained in the borings as per Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) specifications. Representative samples were obtained by split-barrel sampling procedures (Standard Penetration Test, SPT) in general accordance with ASTM Specifications D-1586. After SPT refusal was attained, the hardness of bedrock was evaluated using a Texas Cone Penetrometer in accordance with the AASHTO Manual on Subsurface Investigation and as modified by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
The SPT test uses a standard, 2-inch O.D., split-barrel sampling spoon that is driven into the bottom of the boring with a 140 pound automatic drive hammer that falls 30 inches. The blows per foot, N, is the number of hammer blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches, or less, of an 18-inch sampling interval. The N value is used to estimate the in-situ relative density of granular soils, the consistency of cohesive soils, and the hardness of weathered bedrock.
The Texas Highway Department cone penetrometer test is a standard test developed by the Texas Highway Department to evaluate the consistency or hardness of the bedrock material. The Texas Cone Penetrometer (TCP) test drives a penetrometer cone into the bedrock material with a 140 pound automatic drive hammer that falls 30 inches. The TCP is driven for a series of blows, the first being seating blows, followed by two 50 blow counts. After 50 blows of the automatic hammer, the distance the TCP has advanced is measured and recorded. The distance the TCP is driven is used to estimate the hardness of bedrock.

After performing SPT and TCP tests, the holes were backfilled with grout and cuttings as required by the Oklahoma State Statutes for Geotechnical drilling.
Samples were collected and transported back to the lab for further classification and testing. The final boring logs were developed from the draft logs, observations and test results of the samples returned to the laboratory. The stratigraphic contacts indicated are only for the specific dates and locations reported, and therefore, are not necessarily representative of other locations and times. The boring logs, presenting conditions encountered at each location explored, are included in Appendix A.
Laboratory Testing
Representative soil samples were tested to refine the field classifications and evaluate physical properties of the soils which may affect the geotechnical aspects of project design and construction.
The laboratory testing program included the following:
• Liquid and Plastic Limits (ASTM 04318)
• Washed No. 200 US Standard Sieve test (ASTM 01140) • Moisture content tests (ASTM 02216) • Soluble Sulfate Content (OHO L-49)
• Soil Classification (ASTM 02487)
The results of the physical laboratory tests conducted are shown on the boring logs in Appendix A and included in Appendix B.
Water testing was also performed on two samples from the project site. One sample was collected from surface water of the creek and another sample was collected from boring B-1 at a depth of approximately 22.7 feet below existing grade. Water samples were evaluated for chloride, sulfate content and pH level. The analytical results are provided in Appendix B.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Surface Conditions
At the time of this investigation, an existing triple span bridge was present along the alignment of SH-55 over Big Elk Creek.
The creek banks were lined with tall weeds and moderately sized trees. The creek was approximately 25 feet wide and was approximately 25 feet below the existing bridge. The water in the creek was approximately 3 feet deep and was flowing slowly.
The boring locations were covered with grass and were relatively flat. Bull dozer work was not required for access to the boring locations. The boring locations were dry at the time of drilling and the ATV drill rig did not experience difficulty moving around the site.
The surface elevations were determined using differential leveling procedures. Benchmark number 16, a chiseled square on the south wing wall at the west end of the existing bridge, was used as the benchmark. According to the plans provided by HW Lochner, the benchmark is at station 119+52.77, offset 16.23 feet right of the construction reference line (CRL) of the proposed bridge and had an elevation of 1636.19 feet. This benchmark elevation differs from the benchmark elevation on the provided plans, but was subsequently provided by HW Lochner. Based on this benchmark, the elevations of the borings ranged from 1627.3 to 1636.2 feet. All station numbers and offsets, including the benchmark location and elevation, are approximate and were estimated from the plans provided by HW Lochner. The approximate elevation at each boring location is shown on the boring location diagram and on the boring logs in Appendix A.
Site Geology
Division Five of the "Engineering Classification of Geological Materials", published by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) indicates the project site consists of alluvium (Qas) underlain by the Cloud Chief (Pee) unit.
Alluvium consists of deposits of sand, silt, clay, gravel, and/or combinations of materials. Alluvium is found along the flood plains (bottom land) of streams and is normally present at places along all streams.
The Cloud Chief unit consists of a heterogeneous mixture of gypsum, sandstone, reddish-orange shale, and dolomite. The unit overlies the sandstones of the Rush Springs unit and underlies the red shales and siltstones of the Doxey unit. A 1 to 9 feet

thick bed of gypsum or dolomite, of greenish-gray color called the Moccasin Creek bed marks the base of the unit. Gypsums are prominent near the base and thin rapidly from a maximum thickness of 118 feet in central Washita County to less than 9 feet in Custer County, 7 feet in Roger Mills county, and 6 feet in Beckham County. A dolomite (Day Creek) bed occurs 25 to 50 feet above the base of the unit in parts of Dewey and Custer Counties. Here, it varies in thickness from zero to ten feet. The total thickness of the unit is variable.
In Division 5, the Cloud Chief unit outcrops in an irregular U-shaped pattern near the center of the Anadarko Basin in Beckham, Washita, Custer, Dewey, and Roger Mills Counties.
Topographically, the Cloud Chief unit is usually gently rolling. It supports grass vegetation and cultivation. Buttes, mesas, and highly dissected canyons are common locally near the base unit in the thicker gypsum areas and near drainage systems. The gypsums generally support the growth of short grass, cacti, prickly pear, and mesquite.
Subsurface Conditions
Information collected during this investigation indicates that the overburden materials consist of various combinations of silt, sand, lean clay and fat clay that extended from the surface to the top of bedrock, which ranged between 57.5 and 84.5 feet in the borings.
The overburden materials in all of the borings was underlain by well cemented to very well cemented siltstone that extended to the boring termination depths, which ranged between 88 and 116 feet. Depth to bedrock is summarized in Table 1.

Soluble Sulfates
Sulfates are naturally occurring in some soils. If combined with calcium based materials, such as cement, lime, fly ash and cement kiln dust, sulfate rich soils can expand up to 250 percent of the original size when exposed to moisture.
Based on soluble sulfate test results, low to high levels of soluble sulfates were encountered in boring B-2. Levels encountered ranged from 373 ppm to 4,933 ppm. Soluble sulfate levels are included in the laboratory results in Appendix B.
A level of "less than 200 ppm" is the lowest and "greater than 8,000 ppm" is the highest reportable level when using the colorimeter method OHO L-49. Soluble sulfate levels less than 3,000 ppm are considered to be too low to be of concern when considering the use of calcium based construction materials. Soluble sulfate levels in excess of 8,000 ppm are considered to be high risk.
Soluble sulfates levels for sections of this project site were between 3,000 and 5,000 I ppm. Therefore, this site should be considered moderate risk. Calcium-based materials can still be used in the concrete mix or to stabilize the subgrade soils. Extra caution must be used when designing the mix and during construction. A contractor experienced in construction in sulfate soils should be considered for this project.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater conditions and cave in depths were monitored in the borings following drilling operations and also after a delay of at least 24 hours after the completion of drilling. The groundwater levels and cave-in depths are outlined in Table 2. Cave-in depths can be an indicator of the actual groundwater depth.
It should be noted that water levels measured during drilling may not be precise due to the nature of wet rotary drilling.
To obtain more accurate groundwater level information, long-term observations in a well or piezometer that is sealed from the influence of surface water would be needed. Fluctuations in groundwater levels can occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, altered drainage paths, and other factors not evident at the time borings were advanced. Consequently, the contractor should be aware of these possibilities while constructing this project.

Water testing was performed on two samples collected from the project site. The surface sample was taken from the creek which was flowing under the bridge. The other was taken from boring B-1 at a depth of approximately 22.8 feet below the ground surface, which was below the surface of the water level and above the cave in depth. The samples were tested for chlorides, sulfates, and pH level. Water testing results are included in Appendix B.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The environmental effect of construction projects is a growing concern in our industry. Some points for consideration of the environment regarding site construction and construction materials are summarized in the following paragraphs. These points should be incorporated into the design and construction of this project for a more environmentally friendly result. The following is only a summary. For a more in-depth discussion on sustainable design and construction, please contact Red Rock Consulting.
Site Construction
SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION CONTROL
Reduce pollution from construction activities by controlling soil erosion, waterway sedimentation, and airborne dust generation. This can be accomplished most efficiently by using seeding or mulching and silt fence.
• Seeding or Mulching - If the excavated site is left open for an extended amount of time, soil erosion should be retarded by using seeding or mulching to cover and hold the soils.
• Silt Fence - Prevent sedimentation of receiving streams by constructing silt fence (posts with a filter fabric media) around the project site. The silt fence is used to remove sediment from stormwater that may runoff the construction site.
Construction Materials
LOCAL MATERIALS
Increase the demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation of materials. Examples of local materials that could be considered in the construction of this project include water, recycled steel, concrete and/or aggregate and sand.
RECYCLED MATERIALS
Reuse building materials and products in order to reduce demand for virgin materials and to reduce waste, thereby reducing impacts associated with the extraction and processing of virgin resources. Examples of recycled materials that could be considered in the construction of this project include recycled steel piles, concrete and aggregate.
