Are there any good charts for typical unit weights of various soil types?
 
I am looking to design standard foundations for specialty equipment. I am looking to use typical soil properties for gravel,sand and clay. I know no foundation should be standard and that it needs to be designed based off of the soil sample, but I need to design this way to get the design into the sales option. I plan on adjusting accordingly after we have a site targeted and sampled.
 
cl220... the publication listed by cvg has a lot of AASHTO rigid pavement info in it and may be of use. I just skimmed through it and if you go to the beginning, you can download the entire *.pdf document.

I took a look at the link, the tables listed in Chp 5 look pretty useful.
Thanks for the help.
 
Hey CVG, That FHWA publication is going on our intranet. Thanks for the link.
