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 Mike Bucchin dated October 3, 2008. We previously performed preliminary geotechnical engineering studies for the subdivision development and presented our findings in reports dated November II, 2005 and April I 0, 2006, Job No. I 05 652. An exploratory boring was drilled on the lot to obtain information on the general subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other engineering characteristics. The results of the 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 consist of a one and two story, wood frame structure over a crawlspace located within the building envelope as shown on Figure I. Grading for the residence is assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths between about 3 to 5 feet. We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type of construction. If building location, grading and loading information changes from that described above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in this report. Job No. 108 569A ~tech -2- SITE CONDITIONS The lot was vacant at the time of our field exploration. The lot is located on the south (downhill) side of Sage Meadow Road as shown on Figure 1. The ground surface slopes gently to moderately down to the west-southwest at grades of about 5%. There is about 5 feet of elevation difference across the building envelope and I 0 to 12 feet across the lot. Vegetation consists of scattered juniper trees, sagebrush, grass and weeds. Vegetation and topsoil on the front portion of the lot had been removed due to utility installation. FIELD EXPLORATION The field exploration for the project was conducted on October 3, 2008. One exploratory boring was drilled on the lot as shown on Figure I to evaluate the subsurface conditions. The boring was advanced with 4-inch diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck-mounted CME-45B drill rig. The boring was 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 inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586. The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are shown on the Log of Exploratory Boring, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS A graphic log of the subsurface profile encountered in the boring is shown on Figure 2. The subsoils consist of about Y, foot of topsoil overlying sandy silty clay with scattered gravel and cobble size rock fragments down to the maximum explored depth of about 31 feet. A 3 foot layer of sandy clayey gravel was encountered at 11 feet. Nearby borings drilled as part of our previous studies encountered similar soils. Job No. 108 569A - 3 - Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the boring included natural moisture content, density and fmer than sand size gradation analysis. Results of swell- consolidation testing performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples of the clay soils, presented on Figures 4 and 5, indicate low compressibility under existing moisture conditions and light loading and a moderate to no collapse potential (settlement under constant load) when wetted. The samples showed high compressibility upon increased loading after wetting. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table I. No free water was encountered in the boring at the time of drilling and the subsoils were slightly moist. SUBSIDENCE POTENTIAL Bedrock of the Pennsylvanian age Eagle Valley Evaporite underlies the Pinyon Mesa subdivision. These rocks are a sequence of gypsiferous shale, fine-grained sandstone/siltstone and limestone with some massive beds of gypsum. There is a possibility that massive gypsum deposits associated with the Eagle Valley Evaporite underlie the lot. Dissolution of the gypsum under certain conditions can cause sinkholes to develop and can produce areas of localized subsidence. During previous studies in the area, several sinkholes were observed scattered throughout this part of Garfield County. These sinkholes appear similar to others associated with the Eagle Valley Evaporite in areas of the Roaring Fork River valley. Sinkholes were not observed in the immediate area of the subject lot. No evidence of cavities was encountered in the subsurface materials; however, the exploratory boring was relatively shallow, for foundation design only. Based on our present knowledge of the subsurface conditions at the site, it cannot be said for certain that sinkholes will not develop. The risk of future ground subsidence on Lot 23 throughout the service life of the proposed residence, in our opinion, is low; however, the owner should be made aware of the potential for sinkhole development. If further investigation of possible cavities in the bedrock below the site is desired, we should be contacted. Job No. 108 569A -4- DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS FOUNDATIONS Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory boring and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend the building be founded with spread footings bearing on the natural subsoils. The soils are settlement-prone and compressible under loading after wetting. The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing foundation system. I) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural subsoils should be designed for an allowable bearing pressure of I ,200 psf Based on experience, we expect initial settlement of footings designed and constructed as discussed in this section will be about I inch or less. The subsoils are compressible after wetting and there could be some additional post-construction differential foundation settlement if the bearing soils are wetted. The bearing conditions should be further evaluated at the time of construction. Precautions should be taken to prevent post-construction wetting of the bearing soils. 2) Footings should have a minimum width of20 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 14 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also be designed to resist lateral earth pressures as discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls" section of this report. Job No. I 08 569A ~tech -5- 5) Topsoil and any loose or disturbed soils should be removed and the footing bearing level extended down to undisturbed natural soils. The exposed soils in footing areas should be moistened and compacted prior to constructing footings. 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 earth 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 earth 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 topsoil, vegetation 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 near optimum moisture content. 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 near the wall, since this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall. Some Job No. 108 569A OOI>tech -6- 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 c0mbination of the sliding resistance of the 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 of0.30. Passive pressure of compacted backfill against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of300 pcf. The coefficient of friction and passive pressure values reconunended 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 near optimum moisture content. FLOOR SLABS The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly loaded slab- on-grade construction. The clay soils are compressible when wetted and there is a risk of slab movement and distress mainly if the subgrade soils are wetted. 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 sand and gravel, such as road base, should be placed beneath interior slabs-on-grade for subgrade support. This material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with at least 50% retained on the No. 4 sieve and less than 12% passing the No. 200 sieve. All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum standard Proctor density at near optimum moisture content. Required fill can Job No. 108 569A ~tech -7- consist of the on-site soils or imported granular soils (such as road base) 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 that local perched groundwater can develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runof£ Frozen ground during spring runoff can create a perched condition. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining walls and deep craw !space areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by a perimeter underdrain system. An underdrain system should not be needed around garage or crawlspace areas shallower than 3 feet deep provided that the backfill is properly compacted and a positive surface slope is maintained away from the residence. Where provided, the drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the 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 fmish grade and sloped at a minimum I% to a suitable gravity outlet 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. An impervious membrane, such as 20 mil PVC, 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. Job No. I 08 569A -8- 2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% ofthe maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas. 3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first I 0 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of 3 inches in the first I 0 feet in paved areas. Free-draining wall backfill should be capped with at least 2 feet of the on- site soils to reduce surface water infiltration. '4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill. 5) Sprinkler heads and landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation, such as sod, should be located at least 10 feet from foundation walls. Consideration should be given to use ofxeriscape to reduce the potential for wetting of soils below the building caused by irrigation. 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 boring drilled at the location indicated on Figure I, 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 findings include extrapolation ofthe subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory boring 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. Job No. 108 569A ~tech -9- 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 construction 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 of structural fill by a representative of the geotechnical engineer.
