Section 235-4(C)3 pg. 2-35 Construction Manual The embankment must be uniformly compacted and stable. Instability can occur in some soils even though density requirements are being met. Stability of all embankment layers is essential prior to placement of the succeeding layer. Excessive rutting or weaving beneath hauling equipment is an indication of instability.
