    What determines the need for slurry bedding backfill

    So the soil classiifcation encountered in the trench would not change the trench bedding design? For example, If I went from an OSHA "B" soil to an OSHA "C" soil the trench bedding detail would not have to be modified? Thanks,

    What determines the need for slurry bedding backfill

    The slurry composition is a 3/4 sack sand slurry. I'm looking for the engineering criteria that would require a change in the trench bedding zone of a buried 60" water line. For instance, when is it permittable to use a sand bedding, a slurry bedding, a concrete saddle bedding, etc.

    What would determine the need to use a slurry bedding backfill rather than a sand bedding backfill?
