The project site is shown on Figure I. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for the foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Tomek Pegiel dated December 14, 2007. Chen-Northern, Inc. (1991 and 1993) previously conducted geotechnical engineering studies for the Aspen Glen development and presented their [mdings in reports dated December 20, 1991 and May 28, 1993, Job No.4 11292. A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain information on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratOlY to determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other engineering characteristics. The results ofthe field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for the proposed building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained during this study and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical engineering considerations based on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions encountered. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed residence will be a two story wood frame structure above a full basement level located as shown on Figure I. The attached garage and basement floors will be slab-on-grade. Grading for the structure is assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths between about 3 to 10 feet. We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type of construction. Ifbuilding loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this repOlt. Job No. 1070907 -2 -SITE CONDITIONS The site was vacant and covered with patches of snow at the time of our field exploration. There is a large pond to the southwest of the lot with a water surface that is about I to 2 feet lower in elevation. The ground surface is relatively flat with a slight slope down to the north. Vegetation consists of grass and weeds over most of the lot with two willow trees adjacent the pond. Cobbles and small boulders were exposed on the ground surface. SUBSIDENCE POTENTIAL Aspen Glen is underlain by Pennsylvania Age Eagle Valley Evaporite bedrock. The evaporite contains gypsum deposits. Dissolution of the gypsum under certain conditions can cause sinkholes to develop and can produce areas oflocalized subsidence. During previous studies in the area, sinkholes were observed in Aspen Glen development. Sinkholes were not observed in the immediate area ofthe subject lot. The exploratory borings were relatively shallow, for foundation design only. Based on our present knowledge ofthe site, it cannot be said for celtain that sinkholes will not develop. In our opinion, the risk of ground subsidence at Lot FW-4 throughout the service life ofthe residence is low and similar to other lots in the area but the owner should be aware of the potential for sinkhole development. FIELD EXPLORATION The field exploration for the project was conducted on December 18, 2007. Two exploratory borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure I to evaluate the subsurface conditions. The borings were advanced with 4 inch diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck-mounted CME-45B drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. Samples of the subsoils were taken with a 2 inch I.D. spoon sampler. The sampler was driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140 pound hammer falling 30 Job No. 107 0907 ~tech -3 -inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586. The penetration resistance values are an indication ofthe relative density or consistency ofthe subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our laboratOlY for review by the project engineer and testing. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Graphic logs ofthe subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The subsoils below about 1 foot of topsoil consist of medium stiffto stiff, sandy silty clay. Relatively dense, silty sandy gravel with cobbles and boulders was encountered beneath the clay soils at depths of! Oy, and !3y, feet. Drilling in the dense granular soils with auger equipment was difficult due to the cobbles and boulders and drilling refusal was encountered in the deposit. Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture content, density, unconfmed compressive strength and fmer than sand size gradation analyses. Results of swell-consolidation testing performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples, presented on Figure 4, generally indicate low to moderate compressibility under conditions ofloading and wetting. The sample from Boring 2 at 5 feet showed a low expansion potential when wetted. An unconfmed compressive strength of 1 ,800 psfwas measured on a clay sample from Boring 1 at a depth of 10 feet. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table I. No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling or when checked 10 days later and the subsoils were slightly moist to moist. FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS The upper clay soils have low bearing capacity with variable settlement/heave potential. The clay soils in this area are typically known to be compressible under loading when wetted. The underlying gravel soils have moderate bearing capacity and minor settlement potential. The settlement/heave potential should be further evaluated at the time of Job No. 1070907 ~tech -4 -construction. The groundwater level in the area is relatively deep and a basement level should be feasible with little risk of groundwater impacts. We assume that the pond to the southwest ofthe building site is lined and will have no impact on the construction of a basement level. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS FOUNDATIONS Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings and the nature ofthe proposed construction, we recommend the building be founded with spread footings bearing on the natural subsoils. The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing foundation system. I) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural soils should be designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf Footings bearing entirely on the gravel soils can be designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of3,OOO psf There could be differential settlement/heave on the order of I inch especially if the clay soils are wetted. Extending the footings down to bearing entirely on the gravel soils would achieve a low foundation settlement risk. 2) The footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and 2 feet for isolated pads. 3) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. Placement of foundations at least 36 inches below exterior grade is typically used in this area. 4) Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span local anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported length of at least 12 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also be Job No. 107 0907 -5 -designed to resist lateral earth pressures as discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls" section of this report. 5) The topsoil and any loose or disturbed soils should be removed and the footing bearing level extended down to the firm natural soils. The exposed soils in footing area should then be moistened and compacted. 6) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all footing excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions. FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS Foundation walls and retaining structures which are laterally supported and can be expected to undergo only a slight amount of deflection should be designed for a lateral eruth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 55 pcf for backfill consisting of the on-site soils. Cantilevered retaining structures which are separate from the residence and can be expected to deflect sufficiently to mobilize the full active earth pressure condition should be designed for a lateral eruth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 45 pcf for backfill consisting of the on-site soils. Backfill should not contain vegetation, topsoil or oversized rock. All foundation and retaining structures should be designed for appropriate hydrostatic and surcharge pressures such as adjacent footings, traffic, construction materials and equipment. The pressures recommended above assume drained conditions behind the walls and a horizontal backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward sloping backfill surface will increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or retaining structure. An underdrain should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup behind walls. Backfill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Backfill in pavement and walkway areas should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density. Care should be taken not to overcompact the backfill or use large equipment Job No. 1070907 ~tech -6 -near the wall, since this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall. Some settlement of deep foundation wall backfill should be expected, even if the material is placed correctly, and could result in distress to facilities constructed on the backfill. The lateral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the sliding resistance ofthe footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure against the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.35 for the clay soils and 0.50 for the gravels. Passive pressure of compacted backfill against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of350 pcf The coefficient of friction and passive pressure values recommended above assume ultimate soil strength. Suitable factors of safety should be included in the design to limit the strain which will occur at the ultimate strength, particularly in the case of passive resistance. Fill placed against the sides of the footings to resist lateral loads should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. FLOOR SLABS The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly loaded slabon-grade construction. The clay soils have variable settlement/heave potential which could result in some slab distress if the bearing soils become wet. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of freedraining gravel should be placed beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with at least 50% retained on the No.4 sieve and less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve. Job No.1 07 0907 ~tech -7 -All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can consist ofthe on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock. UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our experience in the area and where clay soils are present that local perched groundwater can develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoff can create a perched condition. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining walls and basement areas, be protected ii-om wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an underdrain system. The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom ofthe wall backfill surrounded above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should be placed at each level of excavation and at least I foot below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1 % to a drywell based in the gravel soils or sump and pump. Free-draining granular material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No.4 sieve and have a maximum size of2 inches. The drain gravel backfill should be at least I Y, feet deep. Where footings bear on the upper clay soils and an underdrain is needed, an impervious membrane such as a 20 mil PVC liner should be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough shape and attached to the foundation wall with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing soils. SURFACE DRAINAGE The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed: 1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided during construction. 2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to at least 95% ofthe maximum standard Proctor density in Job No. 107 0907 ~tech -8 -pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% ofthe maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas. 3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior ofthe building should be sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum slope of 6 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas. 4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill. 5) Irrigation sprinkler heads and landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation, such as sod, should be located at least 5 feet from foundation walls. LIMITATIONS This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include detennining the presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of practice should be consulted. Our [mdings include interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory borings and variations in the subsurface conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made. This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during Job No. 1070907 ~tech -9 -constmction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We recommend on-site observation of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing ofstmctural fill by a representative of the geotechnical engmeer.
