Structural fill definition

Structural fill means the discrete, controlled use of a coal combustion byproduct as a substitute for a conventional aggregate, raw material, or soil under or immediately adjacent to a building or structure. "Structural fill" does not include uses that involve general filling or grading operations or valley fills.
Structural fill means an engineered fill with a projected beneficial end use, constructed using soil or coal combustion by-products spread and compacted with proper equipment and covered with a vegetated soil cap.
Structural fill means an engineered fill with a projected beneficial end use constructed using coal combustion products that are properly placed and compacted. For purposes of this Part, the term includes fill used to reclaim open pit mines and for embankments, greenscapes, foundations, construction foundations, and for bases or sub-bases under a structure or a footprint of a paved road, parking lot, sidewalk, walkway, or similar structure.

Examples of Structural fill in a sentence

  • Structural fill is defined as all fill which will ultimately be subjected to structural loadings, such as imposed by footings, floor slabs, pavements, etc.

  • Structural fill shall consist of suitably graded clean sands or gravel-sand mixtures belonging to Group Symbol SW or GW of the Unified Soil Classification, ASTM D2487.

  • Structural fill shall be compacted by dozer track in lifts not to exceed eight (8) inches in depth, or by compactor in lifts not to exceed twelve (12) inches in depth.

  • Structural fill shall be furnished and placed as required to replace materials encountered and found unsuitable below foundation elevation of structures; or when foundation elevation is set above existing grade as shown on the plans or directed by the Engineer in writing.
