PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed residence to be located
on Lot 5. The Preserve at Prehm Ranch, Garfield County, Colorado. The project site is
shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for the
foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance with our proposal for
geotechnical engineering services to John Schneider dated March 26. 2003. Hepworth-
Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. previously conducted a preliminary geotechnical study for
the Prehm Ranch development and presented our findings in a report dated April 18,
2001, Job No. 101 147. We understand that the building envelope is outside the flood
potential of Four Mile Creek and further evaluation of potential impact to the building is
beyond the scope of this study.
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 laboratory to determine their classification.
compressibility 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 subsoil conditions
encountered.
Job # 103 213
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed residence will be a two story log structure over a walkout basement level.
The attached garage and basement floors will be slab -on -grade. Grading tor the
structure is assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths up to about 12 to 14 feet.
We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type of
construction.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described
above. we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this
report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The site was vacant at the time of our field exploration. The ground surface in the
proposed building area varies from strongly sloping in the southern portion to steeply
sloping in the northeast portion at grades up to about 50%. There is about 16 feet of
elevation difference across the building area. Four Mile Creek is located to the south of
the building area. Vegetation consists of a grassy meadow in the southern portion with
scruboak, pinon and cedar trees on the steep sloping hillside. Numerous basalt cobbles
and boulders are exposed on the steep hillside.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on April 11, 2003. Two exploratory
borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface
conditions. Access to the drill rig was limited to the locations drilled due to the steep
terrain, vegetation and rocks on the hillside to the north. The borings were advanced
with 4 inch diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck mounted CME -45B
Job# 103 213
- , -
drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Hepworth-Pawlak
Geotechnical. Inc. Slotted PVC pipe was placed in the borings to measure future water
levels.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 13/e inch and 2 inch I.D. spoon samplers. The
samplers were 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 Logs of Exploratory Borings.
Figure 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project
engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2.
The subsoils consist of about'/ foot of topsoil overlying 6 to 121/2 feet of clay and sand.
Relatively dense, silty sandy gravel containing cobbles and boulders was encountered
beneath the clay and sand at depths of 61/2 and 13 feet. Drilling in the course granular
subsoils 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, Atterberg limits, unconfined compressive strength and finer
than sand size gradation analyses. Results of swell -consolidation testing performed on a
relatively undisturbed drive sample of the clay, presented on Figure 4, indicate low
compressibility under existing moisture conditions and light loading and a low collapse
potential (settlement under constant load) when wetted. The sample showed moderate
compressibility upon increased loading after wetting. An unconfined compressive
Job # 103 213
-4 -
strength of 1,450 psf was determined for a clay sample from Boring 1 at 4 feet. The
laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
Groundwater was measured at depths of 7 and 15 feet in Borings 1 and 2. respectively.
The subsoils were slightly moist to wet below the groundwater level.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The upper clay and sand soils possess low bearing capacity and generally moderate
settlement potential. There is a risk of settlement for spread footings bearing on the
upper soils. A lower risk alternative for foundation settlement is to found the structure
on the underlying relatively dense gravels or compacted structural fill placed on the
gravels. Due to the expected excavation depths of up to 12 to 14 feet and relatively
shallow groundwater, dewatering will be needed during excavation and to protect the
foundation against hydrostatic pressures. As an alternative to providing a
comprehensive underdrain system to permanently lower the groundwater level. the floor
slab can be designed as water tight and to resist bouyant forces. such as a heavily
reinforced mat. Successful dewatering of the excavation will be critical to construction
and long term performance of the proposed basement floor and foundation. As an
alternative, the basement floor could be elevated to above the groundwater level.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the exploratory borings and the
nature of the proposed construction. we recommend the building be founded with
spread footings bearing on the natural granular subsoils or compacted structural fill.
Job # 103 213
-5 -
the design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread
footing foundation system.
1) Footings placed on the natural granular subsoils or compacted structural
fill should be designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 psf.
Based on experience. we expect settlement of footings designed and
constructed as discussed in this section will be about 1 inch or less.
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
10 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.
5) The topsoil, upper clay and sand soils and any loose or disturbed soils
should be removed and the footing bearing level extended down to
relatively dense natural granular soils. As an alternative to deepening the
footings, the design bearing level may be reestablished with a granular
structural fill compacted to at least 100% of standard Proctor density at
near optimum moisture content. The fill should extend laterally beyond
the footings a distance at least equal to the depth of fill beneath the
footings. If water seepage is encountered. the excavation will need to be
dewatered before placement of the structural fill and concrete placement.
We expect that trenches and sumps placed outside of the bearing areas
can be used for the dewatering.
Job# 103213
-6-
6) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all tooting
excavations prior to concrete placement and monitor the placement of
structural fill 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 55 pcf for
backfill consisting of the on-site soils. Where the water level is allowed to buildup
above the floor level. foundation walls should be designed for a lateral earth pressure
based on an equivalent fluid unit weight of 80 pcf for the on-site backfill. 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 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 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 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 of 0.45. Passive pressure of
compacted backfill against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an
equivalent fluid unit weight of 350 pcf for dry conditions and 200 pcf for houvant
conditions. 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 slab -
on -grade construction. To reduce the effects of some differential movement. non-
structural floor slabs above the water level 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
free -draining gravel should be placed beneath basement level slabs to facilitate
Jub#103213
drainage. This material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with at least 5(n
retained on the No. 4 steve and less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve. The free
draining gravel will aid in drainage below the slabs and should be connected to the
perimeter underdrain system.
To resist hydrostatic uplift. it may be desirable to design the basement foundation as a
heavily reinforced mat using for a modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 tcf.
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 of the on-site gravels or a suitable imported granular fill devoid of
vegetation. topsoil and oversized rock.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Groundwater was encountered at relatively shallow depths during our exploration. It
has been our experience in the area that groundwater levels can rise and 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 from
wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an underdrain system. To resist wetting of
the basement area. a multilayered membrane should be 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 1 foot below lowest adjacent
finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1% to a suitable gravity outlet above the flood
level of Four Mile Creek. 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 of 2 inches. The drain gravel backfill should
be at least 11 feet deep. The drain gravel backfill should extend up the foundation
walls to above any seepage in the cut face and will probably be needed to within a few
feet of the ground surface of the downhill side.
Interior lateral drains consisting of 2 inch diameter perforated PVC pipe placed in
gravel filled trenches should be installed on about 10 foot spacing under basement slab
areas and sloped to gravity outlet or connect with the perimeter underdrain system.
SITE GRADING
Excavation into the hillside for the basement level is proposed to be relatively extensive
and there is a risk of construction -induced slope instability. The backside of the
excavation should be adequately sloped or shored to maintain stability. Fills should be
limited to about 8 to 10 feet deep. Embankment fills should be compacted to at least
90% of the maximum standard Proctor density near optimum moisture content. Prior to
fill placement, the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing all vegetation
and topsoil and compacting to at least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density.
The fill should be benched into the portions of the hillside exceeding 20% grade.
Permanent unretained cut and fill slopes should be graded at 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or
flatter and protected against erosion by revegetation or other means. The risk of slope
instability will be increased if seepage is encountered in cuts and flatter slopes may be
necessary. If seepage is encountered in permanent cuts. an investigation should be
conducted to determine if the seepage will adversely affect the cut stability. This office
should review site grading plans for the project prior to construction.

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% of the maximum standard Proctor density in
pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the 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 10 feet in unpaved
areas and a minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas.
Free -draining wall backfill should be capped with about 2 feet of the
on-site finer graded soils to reduce surface water infiltration.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of
all backfill.
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 findings 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
Job # 103 213
Gtech

• + 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
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.
