SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION, SECTION C009, HUNTINGTON ROUTE

Results are presented of 41 test borings made along the line of Section C009 of Huntington Route between Braddock Road on the south and Four Mile Run on the north in Alexandria, Virginia of the Washington Metropolitan Area Metro System. The purpose of the work was to provide information for design of surface trackage, cut-and-cover construction, retaining walls and the planned Braddock Road Station. The report contains logs of the test borings, results of laboratory tests on undisturbed samples, a continuous geological section along the line of METRO trackage, sections through the station parking areas and comments regarding anticipated design and construction problems.
