Questions?
Agenda Item 2.
Discussion regarding the Town’s paving standards. (DH)
Town of Prosper
PAVING AND SUBGRADE
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Quick Background
•Town has two geologic formations: Eagle Ford
and Austin Chalk
•Eagle Ford is known for Very Expansive Clays
•Town adopted Paving and Subgrade Design
Standards in early 2019 to address various
‘needs’.
Previous Standards
•Pavement standard was a “one size fits all”
approach
•Adequate for paving and subgrade needs of Austin Chalk
•Under conservative for varying conditions of Eagle Ford’s
expansive clays
•Needed robust guidelines for Eagle Ford areas
•Needed to define consistent testing methods and
parameters to be used by third party consultants
for geotechnical recommendation
Updating Standards
•Staff started research in 2016, and provided first draft for
feedback from development community in 2018
•Town started by comparing to neighboring cities with
same Eagle Ford Formation
•Town used Frisco’s Paving and Subgrade Design
Standards which they recently updated in 2017 as a
template
•Town sought input from development community through
PDC
New Requirements
•Created clear guidelines on testing methods
and sampling
•Defined consistent parameters to be used for
geotechnical recommendations on all road
types
•Developed Moisture Conditioning requirements
in the Eagle Ford
•Standard is not 100% ‘guaranteed’ from
cracking and other pavement failures
•Several other variables can come into play
•Standards shall greatly reduce potential
for road failures
Examples and Takeaways
•NB DNT Frontage vs SB DNT Frontage
•Star Trail
