Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
Atlantic County has selected Michael Baker International (Michael Baker) to provide design
services for the Replacement of Nacote Creek Bridge Project. The bridge is located in Port Republic
City, Atlantic County, New Jersey. The bridge was originally constructed in 1904 to carry Old New
York Road (CR 610) over Nacote Creek providing the primary vehicular connection between the
City of Port Republic and points south and east. See Figure 1 for the project location.
The existing bridge is a 24-span structure consisting of swing span, floor beams and stringers, and
23 timber trestles in the approaches. The bridge length is 429.0 feet and the width varies between
19 feet at the swing location and a maximum of 30.0’ at the approaches. According to the 15th cycle
of Bridge Re-evaluation Report published in 2013, Nacote Bridge has been rated as POOR with
critical overall condition, and is classified as structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. The
bridge has been recommended to be replaced.
Michael Baker’s proposed design provides the capacity and operational improvements needed to
accommodate traffic demand and safety to pedestrians. The proposed bridge is a six-span bridge
with steel plate-girders. The width of the proposed bridge will be 42’-3” accommodating two 12
feet travel lanes and 5 feet right and left shoulders. Appendix A shows the General Plan and
Elevation of the proposed bridge.

2.0 GEOLOGY
2.1 Surficial Geology
According to the USGS Surficial Geological Map of Central and South New Jersey (Newell et al.,
2000), the surficial deposits at the north and south abutments of the proposed bridge consist of
colluvium and alluvium unit (Qca1 of the pleistocene age) and Cape May Formation (Qcm1) of the
early Wisconsinan to late Sagamonian age. Figure 2 shows the surficial geological map at the site
location.
The alluvium and colluvium unit (Qca1) are slope and valley deposits that consist of sand, gravel,
silt, clay and rarely peat and wood. Colluvium is generally poorly sorted with matrix-supported
clasts and discontinuous pebble layers common at the base. Alluvium is moderately sorted and
deposited in sets of planar beds or through crossbeds, or alternatively as alluvial fans interbedded
with colluvium. The thickness of this surficial unit varies between 2 and 10 feet. As for Cape May
Formation (Qcm1), it consists mainly of quartz rich sands, it also contains gravel and pebbles with
varying colors that was deposited in marine to estuarine environment. Silty clays soil and peat are
also common within this unit. The thickness of Qcm1 unit is generally between 3 and 15 feet.
2.2 Bedrock Geology
The project site is located within the Atlantic Coastal Plain of New Jersey, specifically within the
Outer Coastal Plain. The coastal plain consists of unconsolidated fine and coarse sediments that
range in age from Cretaceous to Holocene. The sediments are classified as continental, coastal, or
marine-type deposits. The Coastal Plain deposits thicken seaward until it reaches 6,500 ft at the
southern tip of Cape May County (Gill and Farlekas, 1976).
According to the Bedrock Geologic Map of New Jersey, Cohansey Formation labeled as Tch is the
identified geologic unit at the project location. Cohansey Formation mainly consists of well graded
to poorly graded fine to coarse grained sand with occasional encountering of gravel and clay. The
gravel is generally less than 1 inch in diameter, and the clay commonly occurs as discrete and thin
to thick layers within the sand strata. The thicker clay beds occur in lenses that commonly have
small to very large pieces of lignitized wood.
The thickness of Cohansey Formation ranges from 79 to 230 feet within Atlantic County. The unit
has been extensively eroded and stripped from large areas of the New Jersey Coastal Plain.
Cohansey sand has been widely mined for use as fill material.

3.0 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
3.1 Field Investigation
A subsurface exploration program was advanced to investigate the subsurface soil conditions at the
project area. Seven (7) test borings (B-1 through B-7) were drilled along the exiting bridge
alignment; five of the seven borings (B-2 through B-6) are water borings that were drilled through
the bridge deck. Casings (4” dia.) were connected to extend the boring into the river. A light weight
CME-45C skid rig was used in order to meet the bridge posted weight limit of 3 tons. Borings B-1
and B-7 were drilled at the bridge south and north abutments locations, respectively. The borings
depths ranged from 85 to 102 feet, and the approximate top of borings elevations were between 8
and -7 feet. Borings locations are shown in Appendix B, Boring Location Plan.
Field boring operation started on February 2, 2017 and was completed on February 10, 2017 by
Uni-Tech Co. Inc., located in Frankliville, New Jersey. A light weight CME-45C skid rig equipped
with a 140-lb automatic hammer with a free fall of 30-inches was used. A 4-inch diameter mud
rotary drilling method was utilized in advancing through soil layers. All disturbed soil samples were
recovered using a 1-3/8” nominal I.D. split barrel sampler driven with a 24-inch sampling spoon.
The SPT values reported on the boring logs are the blow counts required to advance four (4)
successive 6-inch increments. The sum of the number of blows for the second and third increment
is the field "N" value which indicates the relative density or the consistency of the deposits. SPT
samples were collected at five-foot intervals over the borings depth. All split spoon samples were
visually described according to the Burmister Soil Classification System by Michael Baker
International Inc. field inspectors. When cohesive soil was identified, pocket penetrometer (pp) was
used to determine its undrained shear strength (Su). Typed boring logs are presented in Appendix
C. The related soil profiles are included in Appendix D. Table 1 summarizes the boring information
within the project limits.
3.2 Laboratory Tests
A laboratory-testing program was developed for representative soil samples obtained from the test
borings. Laboratory tests were performed by AECOM of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The testing
program generally included soil index classification tests. The Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS) was used for soil classification. The following tests were performed:

• Soil grain size distribution analyses (sieve and hydrometer analyses, ASTM D-422)
• Natural moisture content (ASTM D-2216)
• Atterberg Limits including liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index (ASTM D-4318)
Laboratory test results are attached in Appendix E: Laboratory Test Results.

4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 Subsurface Soil
Subsurface soil descriptions are provided based on geotechnical data obtained from the site
investigations as well as laboratory test results. Seven (7) test boring were drilled along the bridge
alignment at the abutments and piers locations. Borings are spaced at about 60 to 90 feet. Borings
B-1 and B-7 (at approximate elevation of 8.5 foot) were drilled at the bridge south and north
abutments locations, respectively. Borings B-2 through B-6 are water borings that are located at the
proposed piers locations. The water borings were drilled from the bridge deck. Mudline elevations
ranged from approximately -3 ft at borings B-5, to approximate elevation of -7 ft at Boring B-4
located adjacent to the bridge’s pivot pier. The measured mudline is 14 to 20 feet below the bridge
deck.
SPT borings were advanced to a depth of 85 feet, except for borings B-2 and B-3 that were extended
to about 102 feet. Based on test borings, subsurface conditions within the project limits can be
generalized into three layers at the abutments locations, and into six layers at the proposed piers
locations. Figures 3 through 9 show the soil variety within the project limits. The typed boring logs
and the soil profile are shown in Appendix C and Appendix D, respectively.
Subsurface Soil at the South and North Abutments
Subsurface soil conditions at the abutments are described in accordance with SPT results of borings
B-1 and B-7 (Approximate elevation is 8.5 feet). The following strata were observed:
Layer I Silty Sand (36’ thick, typ.)
The top layer at the south and north abutments is comprised of very loose to medium dense, poorly
graded, fine to coarse sand with varying amount of silt and occasional presence of gravel. The SPT
N-values ranged from 2 to 32 blows per foot (bpf). The number of blows generally increased at
deeper depths within layer I. At the south abutment, within boring B-1, a relatively thin layer of
poorly graded gravel with silt was encountered within the last 9 ft of layer I. At the north abutment,
sampling results of boring B-7 showed the presence of very thin layer (~3ft) of Clayey Sand at a
depth of 20 feet (at approximate El. -19 ft).

Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
Layer II Sandy Clay (8’ thick, typ.)
A relatively thin layer of sandy clay was encountered underneath Layer I. The number of blows
within the sandy clay layer was 8 bpf indicating medium stiffness. The undrained shear strength
(Su) of this layer was measured in-situ using pocket penetrometer and found to be about 500 psf.
Layer III Silty Sand (40’ thick, typ.)
A thick layer of silty sand was encountered underneath the sandy clay layer at the south and north
abutment. clayey sand was occasionally encountered with the top 10 feet of this layer. The number
of blows ranged from 15 to 51 indicating medium dense to very dense soil state. Laboratory tests
results indicated that the silty sand consists of 84% sand size particles and 16% less than 0.075 mm
(#200 Sieve). The soil was classified as (SM) per Unified soil classification System (USCS). A
clayey sand sample was laboratory tested, and was classified as (SC) per USCS. The clayey sand
sample consisted of 54% sand size particles (> 0.075 mm), and 46 % smaller than 0.075 mm
(Including 24% less than 0.002 mm). The liquid limit of the clayey sand was tested at 35% and the
plastic limit is 14%.
At the bottom of boring B-7 (at El. -78 feet), at the north abutment location, one foot of high
plasticity clay (CH) was encountered. The clay sample was laboratory tested and was found to have
liquid limit of 81% and plastic limit of 22%. The percentage of the fines (< 0.075 mm) is 78% with
33% clay size particles (<0.002 mm). The pocket penetrometer test on this clay sample indicated
undrained shear strength value as high as 4000 psf. It is believed that this clay layer is also present
at boring B-1 at the south abutment (although not sampled). Similar clay layer was also encountered
in all the borings at similar elevation within the project limits.
Subsurface Soil at the Piers
The subsurface soil information for piers 1 through 5 are obtained from borings B-2 through B-6.
The borings are located 6 to 9 feet below water level (Mean Elevation is 1.4 feet). The top of borings
elevation (at the mud line) varied between El. -3 feet and El. -7 feet, maximum depth being at boring
B-4 at the middle of the bridge. The soil strata from the five borings were relatively similar and can
be summarized as follows:
Layer I Organic Sand and Silt (8-12’ thick, typ.)
A layer of black organic silt and sand is encountered below the mudline at Nacote Creek. The
organic layer was penetrated under the weight of hammer only indicating very soft condition. The
Geotechnical Foundation Report

Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
maximum depth from the of water to Layer I was about 9 feet at the navigation channel close to the
center of the bridge.
Layer II Sand and Gravel with Silt (13-21’ thick, typ.)
The second layer at the piers locations is mainly comprised of sand and gravel with little silt and
minor presence of clayey sand. The number of blows varied between 4 and 21 bpf with majority of
the N-values between 10 and 20 bpf indicating medium dense condition. The encountered gravel
within were localized in the top portion of Layer II with thickness ranging from 5 to 7 feet. The
gravel particles were generally medium to coarse and have subrounded shape resembling their
alluvial origin.
Layer III Sandy Clay (5-8’ thick, typ.)
A relatively thin layer of sandy clay soil was encountered under the sand and silt layer within borings
B-2 through B-6. The number of blows within layer III ranged from 5 to 8 bpf indicating medium
stiffness. The pocket penetrometer measurement yielded undrained shear strength values between
500 psf and 600 psf.
Layer IV Sand with Silt (35-40’ thick, typ.)
This layer consists mainly of sand with little amounts of silt size particles. Laboratory tested samples
from Layer IV indicated that the soil can be classified as poorly graded sand (SP), poorly graded
sand with silt (SP-SM), and silty sand (SM). The number of blows ranged from 9 to 43 bpf with
majority of N-values between 20 and 40 bpf indicating medium dense to dense soil state.
Layer V Fat Clay (4-6’ thick, typ.)
A layer of black high plasticity clay was encountered in all the borings at the piers location. The
layer is relatively thin with a thickness of 4 to 6 feet. Laboratory test on this layer indicated that the
soil has high plasticity and can be classified as Fat Clay (CH per USCS). The percent finer than
0.075mm is more than 93% with more than 43% percent clay size particles. The number of blows
for this layer ranged from 14 to 25 bpf, and the pocket penetrometer measurement was as high as
4000 psf indicating very stiff soil state.
Layer VI Sand with Silt
Underneath the fat clay layer, another layer of sand with silt (SP-SM and SM per USCS) is
encountered. The N-values for this layer ranged from 13 to split spoon refusal with majority of
number of blows ranging from 30 to 80 indicating dense to very dense condition.

4.2 Groundwater Table
The mean high water at Nacote Creek is at approximate elevation 1.5 feet. For this project, the water
table at the abutments locations will be assumed to have the same elevation (1.5 feet). It should be
noted, however, that under the regional hydro-geological condition, the creek water level can be
influenced by precipitation, seasonal climate change, surface run-off, and other factors.

5.0 SEISMIC EVALUATION AND LIQUEFACTION
According to AASHTO (2014) LRFD Bridge Design specification, the seismic hazard is
characterized by the acceleration response spectrum for the project site and the site factors for the
relevant site class (Classes A through F). For this project, it was determined that Nacote Creek
Bridge belongs to site class D. Furthermore, based on AASHTO (2014) Figures 3.10.2.1-1 through
Figures 3.10.2.1-3 and the online USGS Seismic Design Maps using site coordinates
(39.5170139°N Latitude and -74.4847111°W Longitude), the Seismic Design Category (SDC) for
this project is A, and the Seismic Performance Zone at the project site is classified as Seismic Zone
1 (SD1 ≤ 0.15).
Liquefaction Evaluation: Liquefaction is generally limited to granular soils, such as sands and
non-plastic silts. Loose gravels can also liquefy if drainage is prevented such as might occur if a
layer of clay or frozen soil is located over the gravel. The probability of liquefaction potential for a
given soil deposit is a function of variety of factors, including its relative density, earthquake
intensity (acceleration), duration and the effective number of cycles of shaking (magnitude).
AASHTO design codes do not require liquefaction potential be assessed for sites within the Seismic
Zone 1. The FHWA Publication (FHWA-NHI-11-032, GEC No. 3, 2011): LRFD Seismic Analysis
and Design of Transportation Geotechnical Features and Structural Foundations defines four (4)
Seismic Hazard Levels from I to IV by using the Site-Class adjusted spectral acceleration at both 1
second (SD1) and 0.2 second (SDS) (Table 6-1, Level I: SD1&SDS ≤0.15; Level II: 0.15<SD1≤0.25 &
0.15<SDS≤0.35). For a site within Seismic Hazard Zones I & II, an evaluation of the potential for,
and consequences of, liquefaction in soils near the surface is not required. Therefore, the evaluation
of liquefaction potential at this project is not necessary.
Seismic Earth Pressure: Generally, the geotechnical seismic design of abutments, retaining walls
and bridge piers includes: 1) overall stability failure; 2) bearing resistance failure; 3) lateral sliding
and 4) loss of base contact due to eccentric loading. Section 11.5.4.2 of the AASHTO (2014)
specification states that seismic design should not be mandatory for project sites in Seismic Zones
1 through 3 or for walls at site where the site adjusted peak ground acceleration (PGA), As, less than
0.4g unless: 1) the seismic induced liquefaction or seismic induced strength reduction (of soft
sensitive clay) inducted slope failure might occur; 2) The wall supports another superstructure that
is required to perform seismic analysis. At the project site, the seismic analysis is not necessary.

6.0 GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATIONS
6.1 Existing Structures
The Atlantic County Nacote Creek Bridge was initially constructed in 1904 as a two-span swing
steel truss bridge with approach causeways. The approach causeways on both sides of the swing
spans were replaced with multi-span timber trestles, 11 trestles to the north and 12 to the south.
Recently, due to failure of the bottom chord, the truss was structurally replaced by steel through-
girders. The truss was left in place to preserve the bridge’s original appearance and it serves to brace
the compression flanges of the through-girders. The movable section of the bridge has not been
opened since 1970 and is essentially fixed in place. The bridge is classified as structurally deficient
due to poor condition of substructure and serious condition of the superstructure. The bridge is
currently posted for a 3-ton weight limit due to the condition of the steel superstructure. The bridge
is also functionally obsolete due to the inadequate deck width and substandard horizontal alignment.
The County of Atlantic, through this replacement project, plans to eliminate these structural
deficiencies and functional obsolescence. The replacement bridge will be designed for a design life
of 75 years.
The existing bridge foundation consists of two timber bulkhead abutments at the north and south
bridge limits, four bulkhead wingwalls, 22 piers (pile bent), two concrete/stone masonry rest piers
at the swing location, and reinforced concrete pivot pier. All the piers were constructed within
Nacote Creek. The south and north bulkhead abutments and wingwalls consist of timber piles bents
and timber sheeting that are driven to the underneath sandy soil strata. The bulkheads piles are
anchored to 12” diameter piles that are located 20 feet behind the bulkhead using 1.25” galvanized
tie rods. The pile bents for the piers consist of four timber piles (12” diameter) and timber pile caps.
The piles spacing is 8.0 feet center to center, and both of the end piles at each pier location are
battered at 1H:5V in the direction away from the centerline.
The pivot pier consists of 20.0 feet reinforced concrete shaft that is founded on timber piles and is
encased with steel jacket from splash zone to the channel bottom. The remining piers are also
founded on timber piles with concrete cap. Mapping plans showing existing conditions are provided
in Appendix F.
Geotechnical Foundation Report
12
Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
6.2 Proposed Nacote Creek Bridge Structure
The proposed bridge is a six-span continuous multi-steel girder superstructure with a reinforced
concrete deck slab. The span length ranges from 60 to 85 feet taking into consideration reducing the
number of substructure units. The width of the proposed bridge is 42’-3” accommodating two 12
feet travel lanes, 5-foot right and left shoulders, a 5-foot wide sidewalk along the west side of the
bridge, and 1.58 ft and 1.67 ft wide concrete curbs along west and east fascia, respectively. The
southern portion the bridge will be built on tangent alignment, matching the existing alignment,
while the northern portion will be constructed on curved alignment (eliminating the existing angle
point). The footprints of the existing and the proposed bridges are shown in the General Plan and
Elevation of the proposed bridge in Appendix A.
Abutments and piers of the bridge are all to be founded on drilled shafts. Drilled shaft is determined
as a deep foundation type for the project since it typical provides higher capacity compare to a driven
pile option. Moreover, cofferdam may not be required for drilled shaft construction in water whereas
it is necessary to driven piles as a pile cap needs to be installed. Due to the proximity of the overhead
electric line and to warrant a safety vertical clearance during the construction, relatively larger
diameter shafts are preferred so that their lengths can be designed within a reasonable range and
caisson installation equipment with controlled head room can thus be utilized. The south and north
stub abutments will be both constructed on a drilled shaft foundation. Permanent sheet piles are used
to wrap around the foundation system to prevent erosion of the soil among the drilled shafts from
tidal and scour effects.
Since the existing bridge conditions do not allow for maintaining the traffic flow on the bridge
during construction, the traffic will be detoured around the project site (detour length is about 1.8
miles), and the bridge will be closed during construction.
6.3 Scour Analysis
The scour analysis and corresponding countermeasures was performed in accordance with the
methods outlined in Section 39 of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Design
Manual for Bridges and Structures, and also NJDOT Handbook of Scour Countermeasure Design.
The long-term stream stability was evaluated following Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
HEC-2. The design and check scour depths were computed using FHWA HEC-18. The scour
analysis included determining the contraction scour at the river bed, and local scour at the piers and
the abutments. Total scour is the sum of contraction scour plus local scour.

The scour analysis indicates that the 100-year total scour depth at the south abutment is 12.32 feet,
at the north abutment is 4.26 feet, and at the piers is 7.18 feet. The scour depth is measured from
the mudline elevation which varies between approximate elevation -2 feet at the abutment to El. -7
feet at the middle of the bridge. The 500-year total scour values were slightly larger than the 100-
year scour values. Riprap with minimum D50 of 12 inches shall be used as scour countermeasure
for this project. The riprap shall be placed between permanent and temporary sheeting in front of
the south and north abutments. The riprap rock size and gradation should be consistent with the
NJDOT standard Specifications section 901.08.
6.4 Geotechnical Analysis of the Abutments and the Piers
Stub abutment is determined appropriate for Nacote Creek Bridge. It is designed to be founded on
drilled shaft foundation. Abutments and drilled shaft foundations will be further wrapped around by
sheet piles, which prevents loss of foundation soils from the scour and change of water level in
Nacote Creek.
Geotechnical foundation design is based on the evaluation of drilled shafts lateral deflection and
axial capacity. The design was performed in accordance with the requirements of AASHTO LRFD
Bridge Design Specifications, 7th Edition (2014). The lateral deflection of the drilled shafts was
Geotechnical Foundation Report
14
Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
analyzed using the commercial program FB-MultiPier (Ver. 5.0). The analysis considered
soil/structure interactions and pile group effects. The “Reese Sand” model, either above the water
table or submerged, was used for granular soils where encountered. For clay layers, the “Soft Clay
below Water Table (submerged)” and “Stiff Clay below Water Table (submerged)” models were
considered. The Subgrade Modulus of Reaction value (k) for sands and clays are estimated based
on the L-Pile technical manual. The internal friction angles (φ) of cohesionless soils were selected
based on the SPT-N values per table 10.4.6.2.4-1 (AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications,
2014). Structural load combinations under three limit states (Strength I, Extreme I, and Service I)
were calculated at the top of each girder (6 girders at each pier and abutment). Two load cases were
provided (LL1 and LL2). In Load case LL1, three lanes of live load were positioned to maximize
the load at the east shaft, and in load case LL2 three lanes of live load were positioned to maximize
the load at the center shafts. LL1 and LL2 are meant to identify the maximum axial load on the
drilled shafts. In the analyses, factored loads were provided by Michael Bake’s structure group
following the AASHTO LRFD standards. These loads are presented in Tables 3 and 4. Loads were
further converted to the centroid of the respective pier cap or abutment as required for the FB-
Multipier program.
The side and tip resistances of drilled shafts in cohesionless soils were estimated based on AASHTO
(2014, 7th Ed.) equations 10.8.3.5.2b-1 and 10.8.3.5.2c-1 respectively. In cohesive soils, drilled shaft
side resistances was calculated in accordance with AASHTO equations 10.8.3.5.1b.
For this project, one drilled shaft load test utilizing Osterberg Load Cell (O-Cell) is recommended.
The sacrificial demonstration shaft for the test is designated close to the south abutment location.
Based on AASHTO Table 10.5.5.2.4-1 (2014), when a O-cell load test is engaged in the field to
verify the design parameters and the actual side and tip resistance of the production drilled shafts, a
factor of 0.7 can be used to estimate the drilled shaft working resistance in sand and clay under
strength I limit state.
For each drilled shaft, the maximum deflection under service limit state was estimated. Additionally,
the resultant axial compressive loads (uplift load was not provoked) on each drilled shaft under
Strength I, Service I, and Extreme I limit states, were obtained from the FB-Multipier analyses. The
results were further compared with the factored geotechnical axial resistance of the drilled shafts.

Geotechnical Foundation Report

Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
Based on foundation analyses, the south and north abutments are respectively to be supported by
four 3.5’-dia. drilled shafts. Individual water piers (Piers 1 through 5) will each be carried by three
5’-dia. drilled shaft bent. A concrete cap will be needed at the top of the bent where the bridge
girders (six girders) will be seated. The spacing of the drilled shafts at abutments and piers is over
3.1 times and 3.5 times of the shaft diameter respectively.
Construction of the drilled shaft shall utilize permanent steel casing and does not require installation
of temporary cofferdam. The permanent steel casing is required for the top 30 feet of the drilled
shafts starting one foot above the mudline. According to AASHTO (2014) Section C10.8.3.5.1b, if
permanent casing is used, the factored geotechnical side resistance within the permanent casing
must be reduced by 50% to 75% depending on whether the casing is clear or rusty. For this project,
the side resistance of the top 30 feet of the drilled shafts within the casing was reduced by 50%.
Also based on the drilled shafts analyses, it is recommended that the required design embedment
length of the drilled shafts at the abutments is 55 feet (tip El. -58 feet, embedded in soil) from the
bottom of the abutments. For piers 1 through 5, the shaft embedment length varied between 55 and
59 feet (tip elevation is -62.0 feet) from the top of the mudline. Tips of the drilled shafts are designed
to be within the dense sandy layer and is minimally 11 feet above the deep fat clay layer. Therefore,
sufficient end bearing of the shaft can be achieved.
Based on the FB-Multipier results, the maximum factored axial force of 747 kips was determined at
pier 4 under Load Case LL1. Further axial resistance analysis suggested that drilled shafts at pier 4
can provide a factored total resistance of more than 780 kips. At abutments, the maximum factored
axial load was 281 kips and the factored resistance of each shaft was evaluated to be more than 300
kips. Among all the drilled shafts, the maximum head deflection under service limits was estimated
to be 0.71 inch at the north abutment which is deemed acceptable based on the structural requirement
for the piers and abutments deflection.
Additionally, to eliminate the effect of lateral earth pressure on the abutments and on the wrap-
around sheeting (lateral earth pressure equivalent to a height of 11.5 feet of soil), the soil directly
behind the abutments shall be replaced with No. 57 coarse aggregate that is reinforced with high
strength geotextiles. The geotextile reinforced No. 57 coarse aggregate shall be constructed at six-
inch increments. High strength geotextiles (minimum ultimate tensile strength of 4,800 lb/ft
according to ASTM D-4595) shall be used in accordance with AASHTO M-288-00 “Geotextile
Geotechnical Foundation Report
18

Specifications for Highway Applications”, and with NJDOT Standard Specification for Road and
Bridge Construction, Section 919.01. The standard specifications require that the stabilization
geotextiles should be Class 1 geotextiles as defined in AASHTO M-288-00. The geotextiles
properties are shown in Table 5.

6.5 Permanent Sheet Piles around the Abutments
Permanent steel sheeting bulkhead coated with two layers of coal-tar epoxy will be installed around
the abutments to mitigate potential scour problems. The top of the front facing sheet piles will be
located behind a 1-foot long shear key located below the facing of the abutment. The permanent

sheet (wingwalls) will also serve as temporary retaining system to retain the road way soil while
constructing the abutment. Temporary (left-in-place) sheeting will also be installed about 8 feet
away from the permanent sheeting within Nacote Creek to facilitate the placement of the riprap in
the space between the two sheetings. The depth of excavation between the temporary (Left-in-Place)
and permanent from sheeting is about 6.0 feet. The riprap shall have a D50 of at least 12 inches and
it will serve as a scour countermeasure. In addition, the permanent sheet piles behind the abutment
(wingwalls) will be temporarily cantilevered until the abutments are constructed and the 11.5 feet
high geotextile reinforced soil system is installed. The maximum cantilevered section on the side
sheet piles is approximately 9 feet. CT Shoring8 Software was used to determine the required
embedment for the sheet piles. Table 7 summarizes the required tip elevation for the permanent and
the temporary (Left-in-Place Sheet piles).

6.6 Electric Pole Adjacent to the Northeast Sheet pile Wingwall
An existing electric pole is located about 4 feet away from the northeast side sheeting (~13 feet
away from the back of the north abutment). Therefore, the sheeting adjacent to the electric pole shall
be restricted from deflection (maximum deflection shall be less than 0.25 inches) to eliminate any
impact of the sheeting deflection on the electric pole. Accordingly, the Contractor shall design a
waler and strut system within proximity to the pole as shown on the plans. The sheeting embedment
shall be maintained as was determined (without the waler and strut). Furthermore, the Contractor
shall provide a construction sequence (a suggested construction sequence is shown on the plans) for
the south and north abutments to meet the following two requirements:

Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement August 2020
• Riprap shall be placed between the permanent and the temporary (Left-in-Place) sheeting
(as shown on the plans) before constructing the geotextile reinforced soil wall behind the
north abutment.
• The sheeting adjacent to the electric pole at the northeast side of the permanent sheeting
(north abutment wingwalls) shall be supported to prevent its deflection after performing the
excavation. Furthermore, optical survey shall be conducted to monitor ground movement at
the electric pole. The maximum ground movement at the bottom of the electric pole shall
not exceed 0.25 inches.

9. Riprap shall be placed as shown on the plans. D50 shall be 18 inches.
10. The installation of the sheet piles (Permanent & Temporary left-in-place), as well as the
placement of the riprap shall be completed prior to constructing the geotextile reinforced soil
behind the abutments.
11. Optical survey shall be conducted in accordance with the NJDOT Standard Specifications to
monitor ground movement at the electric pole (maximum ground movement shall be 0.25 inches)
that is located adjacent to the northeast sheet pile (wingwall). Contractor shall provide monitoring
plan for approval.
12. Geotextile reinforced soils shall be constructed as shown on the plans. Use No. 57 coarse
aggregate as a fill material between the geotextile layers in 6-inch increments. The coarse
aggregates shall meet NJDOT standard specifications requirements in Table 901.03-1. Complete
the excavation and the backfilling within 14 calendar days.
13. Geotextiles shall be bi-directional woven geotextiles composed of a minimum ultimate tensile
strength of 4,800 lb/ft according to ASTM D-4595. Four preapproved bidirectional high strength
woven geotextiles are:
• Beltech 4x4 made by Belton Industries Inc. (www.beltonindustries. com);
• FX-400MF made by Cartage Mills (www.carthagemills.com);
• Geotex 4x4 HF made by Propex Geosynthetics (www.propexus.com);
• Mirafi HP570 made by Tencate Geosynthetics (www.mirafi.com);
If other bidirectional woven high strength geotextile is used, submit the alternate material
specifications for approval.
14. The geotextile machine direction (as specified by the geotextile manufacturer) shall be placed in
the traffic direction of the bridge.

16. For the geotextile reinforced soil, provide a minimum of three feet long geotextile wrap-around
at the wall limits that are adjacent to the abutment and permanent sheeting areas as indicated on
the plans.
17. A maximum lift thickness of 6 inches of No. 57 coarse aggregate shall be applied.
18. Use only hand operated compaction equipment such as lightweight mechanical tampers, plates
or rollers within 3 feet of the permanent wall faces (abutment and permanent sheeting).
19. The Contractor is responsible for providing sufficient de-watering so that the excavation is dry
enough during performing the work.

8.0 LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the available
geotechnical information and the design details available at the time of preparation of this report.
The borings may only depict the soil and groundwater conditions at the specific locations and at the
time at which they were made. These conditions may differ significantly at other locations from
those occurring at the boring locations. If deviations from the noted foundation conditions are
encountered during construction, they should be brought to the attention of Michael Baker
International. The professional services have been performed, our findings obtained, and our
recommendations prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices. Michael Baker International, Inc. is not responsible for the conclusions
made by others based upon the data included herein.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of the County of Atlantic for the Final Design of the
Nacote Creek Bridge Replacement project and no other use of this document is authorized.
