INSTALLATION GUIDE SLABS

SLABS

INSTALLATION OUTLINE 01 EXCAVATION A. Before excavating, call all the local utility companies (e.g., phone, gas, electrical) to ensure that the area in which you plan to dig is clear of underground cables or wires. If any are found, please notify the appropriate companies before you continue. B. When excavating, it is important to achieve a slope in increments of 3⁄16" per ft (5 mm per 300 mm) which will allow for proper drainage. The excavation should mirror final grade of pavement. C. The width of the base behind the edge should be equivalent to the thickness of the base. D. With the help of a rake, grade the bottom of the excavated area. If the natural soil is granular or sandy we recommend that you compact the soil with a vibrating plate. If the soil is clay-like, change the soil with a blend of lime and crushed stone prior to compaction. Next, cover it with a layer of geotextile membrane to prevent the contamination of the base (clay and 0-3⁄4" [0-20 mm] crushed stone). Refer to the table "Thickness of the Granular Foundation" (on next page) to find the minimum thickness of foundation required.

02 FOUNDATION A. Install the 0-3⁄4" (0-20 mm) crushed stone base in 4" (100 mm) lifts with a minimum 5,000 lbf (22 kN) vibrating plate compactor. B. To facilitate compacting, wet the base material thoroughly and compact with a vibrating plate proceeding in all directions. Continue this process until you achieve the desired height. At this stage, you can verify the final height with the help of a paver. C. Base tolerance ± 3⁄8" (10 mm) for every 10' (3-m) increment.

03 THE SETTING BED A. On the compacted crushed base, install two pipes with an outside diameter of 1" (25 mm). Grade the concrete sand with the help of a straight edge (or Quick-E leveler). If the base isn’t properly graded and smooth, imperfections will be evident in the finishing grade of the pavement. B. Once the setting bed is graded, pre-compact with a hand tamper, then lightly fluff.

04 INSTALLATION OF SLABS A. Once the choice of slabs and the design have been finalized, it is recommended you start installing the slabs at a 90-degree angle. To obtain a 90-degree angle, use the rule of a 3 / 4 / 5-triangle. To do this, proceed as follows: measure a first horizontal line of 3' (1-m) and a second line of 4' (1.2 m) perpendicular to the first. Connect a third straight line of 5' (1.5 m), which will form a triangle, and the result will be a perfect 90-degree angle. While installing the slabs, walk on the installed slabs and fill in gaps caused by the pipes with concrete sand. B. It is always recommended that you use more than two cubes at a time in order to maximize the color blends. Furthermore, you should proceed with the cubes from top to bottom. C. You may use a chalk line to mark the stones to be cut along the borders, using a concrete saw. When cutting slabs, we recommend you wear protective ear and eyewear. D. Once you finish installing the slabs, you can then install Belgik, Pietra, Tundra, or Avignon curbstone. To keep curbs in place, add mortar along the back between the ground and the curbstone or, when available, use their plastic retention systems.

05 FILLING IN JOINTS techo-bloc.com

A. Spread out the polymer stabilizer sand on the slabs, and sweep in between joints in all directions.

B. Remove excess sand and follow the instructions exactly as indicated on the polymer stabilizer sand packaging. C. The use of a vibrating plate is not recommended on slabs.

INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVEMENT

PAVERS

B. When excavating, it is important to achieve a slope in increments of 1.5% (3⁄16" per ft/5 mm per 300 mm), which will allow for proper drainage. The excavation should mirror the final grade of pavement. C. The width of the base behind the edge should be equivalent to the thickness of the base. D. Using a rake, grade the bottom of the excavated area. If the natural soil is granular or sandy, we recommend that you compact the soil with a vibrating plate. If the soil is clay‑like, change the soil with a blend of lime and crushed stone prior to compaction. Next, cover it with a layer of geotextile fabric to prevent the contamination of the base (clay and 0-3⁄4" [020 mm] crushed stone). Refer to the table "Thickness of the Granular Foundation" (on next page) to find the minimum thickness of foundation required.

02 FOUNDATION A. Install a 0-3⁄4" (0-20 mm) crushed stone base, in 4" (100 mm) lifts with a minimum 5,000 lbf (22 kN) vibrating plate compactor. B. To facilitate compacting, wet the base material thoroughly and compact with a vibrating plate proceeding in all directions Continue this process until you have achieved the desired height. At this stage, you can verify the final height with the help of a paver. C. Base tolerance ±3⁄8" (10 mm) for every 10' (3-m) increment.

03 THE SETTING BED A. On the compacted crushed base, install two pipes with an outside diameter of 1" (25 mm). Grade the concrete sand with the help of a straight edge (or Quick-E leveler). If the base is not properly graded and smooth, imperfections will be evident in the finishing grade of the pavement. B. Bedding sand should not be compacted until all paving stones have been laid down. Passing the vibrating plate over the paving stones causes them to settle approximately 3⁄8" (10 mm) into the bedding sand.

04 INSTALLATION OF PAVING STONES A. Once the choice of paving stones and the design have been finalized, we recommended that you start installing the pavers at a 90-degree angle. To do so, proceed as follows: measure a first horizontal line of 3' (1-m) and a second line of 4' (1.2 m) perpendicular to the first. Connect a third straight line of 5' (1.5 m) which will form a triangle. The result will be a perfect 90-degree angle. While installing the paving stones, walk on the installed pavers, and fill in gaps caused by the pipes with concrete sand. B. It is always recommended that you use more than two cubes at a time in order to maximize the color blend. Furthermore, you should proceed with the cubes from top to bottom. C. You may use a chalk line to mark the stones to be cut along the borders, using a guillotine or a concrete saw. When cutting paving stones, we recommend that you wear protective ear and eyewear.

techo-bloc.com

D. Once you finish installing the paving stones, you can then install Tundra, Avignon, Belgik or Pietra curbstone on the granular base. To keep curbs in place, add mortar along the back to form a 45-degree angle between the ground and the curbstone or, when available, using the plastic retention system. In a vehicular traffic application, the mortar must be reinforced using steel rods.

05 FILLING IN JOINTS A. Spread out the polymer stabilizer sand on the paving stones and sweep in between joints in all directions. B. Pass a vibrating plate in all directions to allow sand to penetrate between the joints. C. Sweep once more and remove excess sand. Follow the instructions exactly as indicated on the polymer stabilizer sand packaging.

INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVEMENT VIBRATING PLATE ALERT! Avoid scuffs on paver surfaces.Pavers with embossed surfaces (high and low points) are more susceptible to scuff marks from plate compactors. Techo‑Bloc recommends the use of urethane mats between the plate and the paver surface when compacting. Techo-Bloc will not be held responsible for compaction scuffs or burns on pavers.

OTHER PERMEABLE POSSIBILITIES

INSTALLATION GUIDE SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT

INSTALLATION OUTLINE 01 DATA COLLECTION A. Determine the size, shape, and intended use of finished areas (i.e. residential driveway, secondary commercial parking, etc.). B. Classify sub-grade soils.

PERMEABLE PAVERS

C. Document all existing conditions (i.e. fixed points, existing grades, site contours, etc.). D. Document soil type, location, and elevation of below grade and overhead utilities both public and private. E. Ensure public utilities are marked through the use of a locating service. F. Determine the cross section design of the system based on soil type and application, showing proposed sub-grade and finished grade elevations and all geotextiles and drainage pipes needed for the construction. G. Establish the type, location, and elevation of relief structures if required (i.e. overflow pipe discharging to rain garden, etc.). H. Determine the curb or edge restraint type, elevation, and location. I.

Choose a pattern appropriate to the application (traffic type and load).

02 EXCAVATION A. Before digging, contact the concerned companies if wires or pipes are located in the area to be excavated. B. Excavation depth is determined from the foundation thickness according to the project specifications (foundation thickness is determined by a qualified engineer based on structural and hydrological analyses). C. Although the slope of the sub-grade will depend on the drainage design and infiltration type, a minimum slope of 0.5% (1⁄16" per ft, or 5 mm per meter) is recommended. D. The distance that the excavated area should extend beyond the area to be paved should be one to 1.5 times the thickness of the foundation. This extra space will ensure the stability of the pavers near the edge and the edge restraints. E. Level the bottom of the excavated area with a rake. Compaction will reduce the permeability of the sub-grade and it should be executed according to the project specifications. If compaction is not specified, care should be taken to maintain undisturbed soil infiltration during excavation and construction. Stabilization of the sub-grade may be required with weak, continually saturated soils, or when subject to high traffic conditions. If the compaction or stabilization of sub-grade is necessary, reduced infiltration may require drainage pipes within the sub-base to conform to storm water drainage requirements.

03 GEOTEXTILE, IMPERMEABLE LINERS, AND DRAIN PIPES A. Use the geotextile specified and install it according to project specifications. The use of a woven geotextile with bi-axel strength that meets design criteria is recommended. B. Place the geotextile on the bottom and sides of the soil sub-grade. Eliminate wrinkles in the geotextile and ensure it is not damaged during construction. C. Overlap of geotextile should be a minimum of 2' (600 mm) in the direction of drainage. Overlapping should be “shingle” style with respect to any slope direction and base stone distribution direction. Keep properly tensioned, eliminate wrinkles, and avoid damaging fabric (no spikes).

techo-bloc.com

D. If impermeable liners are required, install them according to project specifications and manufacturer’s instructions. Impermeable liners are used when full exfiltration from the reservoir (sub-base and base) into the underlying sub grade is not allowed (no infiltration design). Perforated drainage pipes are usually required in no infiltration and partial infiltration designs.

E. If drainage pipes are required, install them according to project specifications. The aggregate cover over drainage pipes should be at least 12" (300 mm) to protect them from damage during sub-base or base compaction.

INSTALLATION GUIDE SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT

04 SUB-BASE For residential pedestrian applications, the sub-base may not be required and then only ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) aggregate base layer with a minimum thickness of 6" (150 mm) can be used (use a thicker base for additional water storage). Refer to Base (see below 06).

•

90% fractured symmetrical particles

•

Less than 5% passing the 200 sieve

•

Industry hardness tested

PERMEABLE PAVERS

When traffic load, soil conditions, and climate require greater than 12" (300 mm) of base or volume requirements for detention are higher, a sub-base may be required. Use sub-base ASTM No. 2 or No. 3 (CSA 40-80) meeting the following requirements:

A. Moisten, spread and compact the ASTM No. 2 (CSA 40-80) aggregate sub-base in minimum 6" (150 mm) lifts (without distorting or damaging the geotextile) according to the project specifications. B. Make at least two passes in the vibratory mode followed by at least two passes in the static mode with a minimum 10 ton (9 metric ton) vibratory roller, until there is no visible movement of the aggregate. Alternately, a 13,500 lbf (60 kN) plate compactor can be used to compact the ASTM No. 2 (CSA 40-80) aggregate sub-base. C. Do not allow the compactor to crush the aggregate. D. Surface tolerance of the ASTM No. 2 (CSA 40-80) sub-base should be ± 2 1⁄2" (64 mm) over 10' (3 m).

05 EDGE RESTRAINT A. Install edge restraint according to project specifications. B. Depending on the design, the top of the edge restraint can be hidden or exposed. C. Install Avignon, Belgik, Pietra, Tundra or Universal edge units. Cast-in-place concrete or precast concrete curbs should be considered in vehicular use applications (commercial / industrial driveways, parking lots or streets). D. Edge restraint may rest on an open-graded or dense-graded aggregate base.

06 BASE A. Moisten, spread and compact the ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) aggregate base layer in one 4" (100 mm) thick lift. B. Make a minimum of two passes in vibratory mode followed by at least two in static mode with a minimum 10 ton (9 metric ton) vibratory roller, until there is no visible movement of the aggregate. Alternately, a 13,500 lbf (60 kN) plate compactor can be used to compact the ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) aggregate base. C. Do not allow the compactor to crush the aggregate. D. Surface tolerance of the ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) base should be ± 1" (25 mm) over 10' (3 m). Verify prior to setting bed installation.

07 BEDDING COURSE A. Moisten, spread and screed the ASTM No. 8 (CSA 2.5-10) aggregate bedding layer in one 2" (50 mm) thick lift. B. Surface tolerance of the ASTM No. 8 (CSA 2.5-10) bedding course should be ± 3⁄8" (10 mm) over 10' (3 m). C. Construction equipment and pedestrian traffic on the screeded bedding course should not be permitted.

08 PAVER

B. In sloped conditions, it is preferable to start laying from the bottom in an uphill direction. C. The minimum slope recommended for permeable pavement surface is 1%. D. Inflo pavers can be installed with the TB100SI (Techo-Bloc mechanical tool) to expedite installation. E. When subject to vehicular traffic, cut units should not be smaller than 1⁄3 of a whole paver. When using cut pieces, maintain joint. F. In vehicular applications, pattern strength will increase if laying pattern is perpendicular to traffic flow.

techo-bloc.com

A. Pavers should be placed in the pattern shown on the drawings. Lay units hand tight to designated laying patterns. Units have lugs to maintain consistent joint width.

INSTALLATION GUIDE SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT 09 JOINT FILL A. Fill the paver joint openings with ASTM No. 8 (CSA 2.5-10) aggregate (or No. 89, No. 9 depending on joint width). Sweep stone to fill joints. Surface must be swept clean prior to compaction. B. Compact with a minimum 5,000 lbf (22 kN) plate compactor (two passes minimum). The installation of a neoprene pad is recommended to protect the texture of the paving units. C. Do not compact within 6' (1.8 m) of unrestrained edges of the pavers.

PERMEABLE PAVERS

D. Apply additional aggregate to fill the joint openings if needed and compact. E. Surface tolerance of compacted pavers should be ± 3⁄8" (10 mm) over 10' (3 m). APPROXIMATE MEASURES Clean stone quantity in kg (lb) to cover an area of 1 m2 (1 pi2) to fill between joints. It is recommended to always start with a small area.

[1] Vertical Retaining walls are constructed without any face inclination or setback. [2] Heigths do not include cap thickness. [3] -

Total Height is the vertical distance measured from the top of the footing (aggregate base) to the top of the uppermost course. Exposed Height is the vertical distance measured from the finished grade at the bottom of the wall to the top of the uppermost course. It does not include the wall depth below grade (embedment).

[4] The maximum wall height for gravity retaining walls recommended in this table is based on the following conditions: The retained soil type considered is gravel with an internal friction angle of at least 36°. There is no surcharge load applied on top of the wall. There is no slope on top of the wall. An adequate drainage system is provided at the back of the wall. [5] Minimum retaining wall radius is measured at the front face of the wall. It corresponds to the lowest course in an internal curve and to the uppermost course in an external curve. [6] Freestanding Minimum Wall radius based on the shortest tapered unit. [7] The maximum height does not necessarily correspond to the amount of blocks in a pallet.

[8] Pillar units sold separately.

[9] Freestanding Maximum Height of 750 mm (29 7⁄16”) is based on a block depth of 300 mm (11 13⁄16”) [10] Skyscraper units provides the possibility of units combination and the use of an extender to build higher walls. [11] Skyscraper units allows a near vertical (0.8 °) wall construction (4.5 mm [3/16”] setback).

INSTALLATION GUIDE RETAINING WALLS

Installation outline 01 EXCAVATION A. Check the location of existing structures and utilities before starting the excavation. B. Dig out a trench. Its depth should be calculated according to the thickness of the leveling pad and the burial depth of the wall. 6" (150 mm) min. 6" (150 mm) min.

WALLS & PILARS

6" (150 mm) min.

C. Plan for a thickness of at least 6" (150 mm) for the leveling pad and consider that at least 10% of the height of the wall should be buried in the ground. In all cases, the wall must be buried no less than 6" (150 mm) deep. D. In determining the width of the trench, allow for a space of at least 6" (150 mm) at the front of the wall and 12" (300 mm) at the back for drainage fill. Compact and level the excavation base.

12" (300 mm) min.

FOR GEOGRID REINFORCED RETAINING WALLS The excavation must also take into account the legth of geogrid. REINFORCED ZONE

02 FOUNDATION A. Cover the base and back of the trench with a geotextile. Extend the geotextile towards the back of the excavation and eventually above the drainage fill once it is in place close to the top of the wall. B. Next, spread the 0-3⁄4" (0-20 mm) stone in the trench and compact using a vibratory plate or jumping jack, ensuring that the surface is level. The compacted leveling pad must be at least 6" (150 mm) thick.

GEOTEXTILE

NOTE FOR STEPPED FOUNDATION A wall built on an incline requires stepped foundations. For steep inclines, several steps may be required. Construction should start at the lowest level. Each of the steps must follow a level horizontal path and the vertical distance separating the successive steps must equal the height of a block. ( 0-3⁄4")

BLOCKS

STEPPED FOUNDATION

INSTALLATION GUIDE RETAINING WALLS 03 BUILDING THE FIRST COURSE

PERFORATED DRAIN

A. Using blocks of the same height, place the first course on the compacted leveling pad according to the predetermined layout. Check the alignment and leveling in all directions and make sure that all the blocks are in full contact with the leveling pad and properly supported. B. Place the exposed surfaces of the blocks side by side. There must be no space between the exposed faces of adjacent blocks. C. At the back of the wall and on the compacted leveling pad, lay a 4" (100 mm) diameter perforated drain. Connect this drain to the existing drainage system so that it clears the water accumulated behind the wall.

04 BACKFILLING

05 SUBSEQUENT COURSES A. Clean the top of each block before laying the next course. Depending on the type of block, install the connectors on the extremity of each block.

WALLS & PILARS

Backfill at the rear of the wall and the space between the back of the blocks with 3 ⁄4" (20 mm) clean stone. Level and settle the clean stone. Any cavities in the blocks must also be filled with clean stone.

B. Lay the subsequent courses, backfilling at the rear of the wall every 8" (200 mm maximum, using the same method outlined in step 4.

FOR GEOGRID REINFORCED RETAINING WALLS Where geogrids are to be used, cover the clean stone with a geotextile. Select the geogrid according to the type, level and appropriate length. Position the geogrid according to the main reinforcement direction perpendicular to the wall. The geogrid must be continuous all along its embedment length. Splicing of the geogrid in the main reinforcement direction is not permitted. The geogrid must be installed horizontally over the compacted backfill and the previous course of blocks. Fix the connectors on the geogrid and lay the next course of blocks. Pull on the back of the geogrid and maintain its tension by stakes or pins. Repeat with a new section of geotextile and place the reinforced backfill directly behind the drainage fill. Fill and compact up to the level of the blocks. Heavy equipment must not be used less than 3' (1-m) behind the blocks. Construction equipment must not drive directly over the geogrid. Repeat the various installation steps.

06 FINISHING Position the course of coping stones (if applicable) or the final course of blocks to complete the wall. The coping stones or final course of blocks must be fixed to the subjacent blocks using concrete adhesive and there must be no space between the blocks.

WALL INSTALLATION - GEOGRID REINFORCED WALL Typical cross section The information contained in the design charts is supplied for information purposes only and as such should only be used forpreliminary designs. A qualified engineer should be consulted for the final design to be used for construction. TECHO-BLOC and its predecessors, successors, beneficiaries, employees, associates, administrators and insurers can not under any circumstances be held liable for the incorrect use of information contained in the design charts. The design charts show the number, position and length of the geogrids for a Techo-Bloc inclined wall based on the height of the wall and the load conditions. Furthermore, geogrid may be required for walls with a height lower than the minimum stated. The geogrid layout has been optimized to satisfy the minimum design requirements of the “Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls, 3rd Edition” from the National Concrete Masonry Association. The height (H) of the wall is the total height from the leveling pad to the top of the wall including the coping stones of 75 mm (2.95 in) thick. The wall height varies approximately from 0.6 m (1.97 ft) to 2.5 m (8.20 ft), gradually increasing in height increments of 0.4-0.8 m (1.31-2.62 ft). The type of soil assumed in the reinforced soil zone (reinforced backfill) is a mixture of sand and gravel (minimum friction angle of 36°). The description of the soil is provided for information purposes; it is the actual shear strength parameter that will govern the design. THE TWO LOAD CONDITIONS ARE: (i) A horizontal surface above the wall with a surcharge of 6 kPa (125 psf). (ii) A 1V:3H slope above the wall.

The foundation soil must be able to support the wall-reinforced backfill system. A geotechnical study to ascertain the bearing capacity of the soil must be carried out. The leveling pad is made of 0-20 mm (0-3⁄4 in) crushed stone. A concrete pad can be used. Compaction must be carried out in successive layers of a maximum of 8 in (200 mm) in thickness and in accordance with project specifications. The minimum burial depth must be 200 mm (8 in) or 10% of the above ground wall height, whichever is greater. For further information, please contact our technical service department.

•

Geogrid layout determined as per the requirements of the “Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls, 3rd Edition” from the National Concrete Masonry Association.

•

Geogrid type Miragrid® 3XT from Tencate Mirafi.

•

Soil parameters: reinforced soil (φ = 36°, γ = 21 kN/m3); retained soil (φ = 28°, γ = 20 kN/m3); foundation soil (φ= 28°, γ = 19 kN/m3).

•

The bearing capacity of the soil, settlement, and global stability must be verified and validated by a qualified geotechnical engineer.

•

The seismic analysis was not considered.

•

The hydrostatic pressure is not considered. The wall must be provided with an adequate drainage system.

•

6 kPa (125 psf) surcharge (cars and light trucks).

•

The design charts do not apply to tiered walls.

•

Geogrid layout determined as per the requirements of the “Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls, 3rd Edition” from the National Concrete Masonry Association.

•

Geogrid type Miragrid® 3XT from Tencate Mirafi.

•

Soil parameters: reinforced soil (φ = 36°, γ = 21 kN/m3); retained soil (φ = 28°, γ = 20 kN/m3); foundation soil (φ= 28°, γ = 19 kN/m3).

•

The bearing capacity of the soil, settlement, and global stability must be verified and validated by a qualified geotechnical engineer.

•

The seismic analysis was not considered.

•

The hydrostatic pressure is not considered. The wall must be provided with an adequate drainage system.

•

NOTES

The dimensional tolerance for Stonedge wet cast retaining wall units is: + 3⁄16” (5 mm) for height and + 1⁄2” (13 mm) for length and width. During the installation, the level between adjacent wall units will vary (usually more than for a dry cast wall unit) in order to obtain a more realistic appearance of a natural stone wall.
