Adequate and complete information will prevent -delays in the plan review process. Reviewing a plan and the discovery that required information has not been provided by the applicant may result in the delay of the permit issuance and in proceeding with building construction. The owner or contractor may be required to provide this information before the plan review may proceed. This causes delays because other plans that are in line for review may be given attention before the new information may be reviewed after it has been provided to the Building Department. Please review this document to determine if you have enough information to design your project and provide adequate information to facilitate a plan review. If you do not, it may be helpful to obtain a book titled "Dwelling Construction under the Uniform Building Code". This book is available to you through this department at our cost. Also, please consider using a design professional for assistance in your design and a construction professional for construction of your project.

The investigation was conducted to evaluate subsurface conditions and provide foundation recommendations for the proposed residence. The report includes descriptions of subsoil conditions reported by others and observed at the surface, recommended foundation systems and allowable design soil pressures, and design and construction criteria for details influenced by the subsurface conditions. The report was prepared from data developed during our site visit, field exploration by others and experience with similar conditions. A brief summary of our conclusions and recommendations follows. Detailed criteria are presented within the report. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS 1. Surface conditions noted include exposed hard rock. We understand the surface in the area of the proposed residence was drilled at fifteen locations with a power hand auger. Auger refusal was encountered at depths of 1 to 3 feet. 2. Wall -on -grade type foundations are recommended for the proposed residence. We anticipate excavation difficulties will be encountered. Detailed design and construction criteria are included in the text of the report. 3. We believe slab -on -grade construction supported by the conditions anticipated will Involve relatively low potential for movement and damage when compared to other sites In the Garfield County area. We believe slab - on -grade construction supported by hard rock should perform satisfactorily at this site. 4. Surface drainage should be designed for rapid runoff of surface water away from the proposed residence. Hussey Residence 1 GEG $188 SITE CONDITIONS The subject site is located at Lot 52, Los Amigos Ranch Subdivision, Filing No. 5, Phase 2 In Garfield County, Colorado as shown on Fig. 1. The site was covered with snow and scattered rock outcroppings and trees at the time of this investigation. A topography survey we reviewed (Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc. Job No. 98132A, dated November 19, 1998, sheet 1 of 1) indicated the ground surface sloped down toward the south and west at 12 percent to 15 percent. The subject lot is located in a developed subdivision. The streets were paved and utilities were Installed. Vacant lots bordered the site to the north and east. Open space and vacant fields bordered the site to the south and west. The site was in a mountainous area, near a Colorado Mountain College campus, about 10 miles south of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION We understand the proposed residence will be an approximate 2,000 square foot, two-story wood framed structure. The lowest floor will be cut approximately 8 feet Into the existing slope In order to walk out toward the south. We anticipate foundation loads may range from 2,000 to 4,000 pounds per lineal foot of foundation wall. We understand foundation walls will be constructed using a prefabricated, reinforced, Portland cement concrete product. If proposed construction changes or is different from what is stated, we should be contacted to review actual construction and our recommendations. Hussey Residence GEG 1188 2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS We understand subsurface conditions at the site were investigated by drilling fifteen exploratory borings, scattered across the building area, using a 10 horsepower portable power auger and 1.5 inch diameter solid flight augers by the client. We understand virtual drilling refusal was encountered in hard rock within 1.5 feet to 3 feet of the surface in each hole attempted. On December 21, 1998 our senior engineer visited the site to observe conditions. The previous bore holes were not found. At least 6 Inches of snow covered the ground surface. The southwest and northwest property corners (pt -1 and pt -2, respectively) were investigated using a Denver penetrometer instrument. Locations of the test points are shown on Fig. 2. The surficial 12 Inches soils were tested at each point. The Denver penetrometer measures penetration resistance using a 1.0 Inch diameter probe driven by a 15 pound weight falling 26 inches.. Penetration resistance at pt -1 was measured at 40 blows/12 Inches; medium dense, extremely weathered soils. Penetration resistance at pt -2 was measured at 40 blows/bounce on rocky outcropping. Outcropping rock was observed to consist of Igneous and metamorphic structures. RESIDENCE FOUNDATIONS Our Investigation indicates subsurface conditions at the proposed foundation levels will likely consist of hard rock. We believe wall -on -grade foundations will be suitable for conditions such as these. Recommended design and construction criteria for wall -on -grade foundations are presented below. These criteria were developed from analysis of field and laboratory data and our experience. The additional requirements (if any) of the structural engineer and structural warrantor should also be considered. Hussey Residence • GEG 8188 3 Wall -on -Grade Foundations 1. Foundations should be designed for a maximum soils bearing pressure of 5,000 psf. Considering the proposed foundation system, a leveling course may be necessary to support foundation walls. If required,' Inch crushed rock should be used. These fill soils should be moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor (ASTM D698) maximum dry density. Loose soils should be completely removed from foundation bearing areas, prior to placing concrete. 2. Excavation will likely be difficult and may require blasting and/or jack hammering. 3. We recommend a minimum width of 8 inches for continuous foundation walls. Isolated pads should be at least 2 feet square. The footing width may be greater depending upon the Toads of the structure. 4. Foundation walls should be well reinforced top and bottom. We recommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance of at least 8 feet. Reinforcement should be designed by the structural engineer considering lateral loads and the effects of large openings on wall performance. 5. Exterior walls must be protected from frost action. We understand 3 feet for frost cover Is typically assumed in the Garfield County area. 6. The completed foundation excavation should be observed by a representative of our firm, prior to placing forms, to verify the foundation bearing conditions, to test compaction, and observe for potential groundwater concerns. FLOOR SYSTEMS The soils which will support slab -on -grade floors likely consist of hard rock at this site. We believe slab -on -grade construction supported by the conditions anticipated will Involve relatively low potential for movement and damage when compared to other sites in the Garfield County area. We believe slab -on -grade construction supported by hard rock should perform satisfactorily at this site. Driveways, sidewalks and exterior patio slabs are also normally constructed as slabs -on -grade. Hussey Residence GEG 8188 4 We recommend the following precautions for construction of slabs -on -grade at this site. These precautions will not prevent movement in the event the underlying conditions move; they tend to reduce damage If movement occurs. 1. Slab -on -grade construction should be limited to areas such as garage and exterior flatwork. 2. Slabs should be separated from exterior walls and interior bearing members with a slip joint, which allows for free vertical movement of slabs. 3. The use of slab -bearing partitions should be minimized. Where such partitions are necessary, a slip joint allowing at least 2 inches of free vertical slab movement should be used. The homeowner should be advised of potential movement and re-establish this void If it closes. Doorways and stairwells should also be designed for this movement. Sheetrock should not extend to slab -on -grade floors. 4. Undersiab plumbing should be eliminated where feasible. Where such plumbing is unavoidable, it should be thoroughly pressure tested during construction for Teaks and should be provided with flexible couplings. Gas and water lines leading to slab -supported appliances should be constructed with flexibility. 5. Plumbing and utilities which pass through slabs should be isolated from the slabs. Heating and air conditioning systems supported by the slabs should be provided with flexible connections capable of at least 2 Inches of vertical movement so that slab movement is not transmitted to the ductwork. 6. Frequent control Joints should be provided to reduce problems associated with shrinkage and curling. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) and Portland Cement Association (PCA) recommend a maximum panel size of 8 to 15 feet depending upon concrete thickness and slump, and the maximum aggregate size. We advocate additional control Joints 3 feet off and parallel to grade beams and foundation walls. 7. Exterior patio and porch slabs should be designed to function as independent units. Movement of slabs -on -grade should not be transmitted directly to the residence foundations. Hussey Residence 5 GEG $168 BELOW -GRADE CONSTRUCTION Basement walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures. Recent data and our experience has shown an Increase in the Incidence of problems due to lateral earth loads on basement walls. Data indicates walls have been designed using lateral equivalent fluid pressures ranging from 40 to 65 pcf. The design lateral earth pressure is dependent upon the type of backfill. Considering the conditions anticipated at this site, we recommend design of basement walls using an equivalent fluid weight of 40 pcf for this site. Use of thicker walls, higher strength concrete and additional steel may be required for the higher pressures. The structural engineer should consider vertical steel reinforcement and the effects of large openings on the behavior of the walls. Water from surface Irrigation of lawns and landscaping frequently flows through relatively permeable backfill placed adjacent to a residence and collects on the surface of relatively Impermeable soils occurring at the bottom of the excavation. This can cause wet or moist basement conditions after construction. To reduce the risk of accumulation of water at basement level, we recommend provision of a foundation drain. The provision of a drain will not eliminate slab movement. The drain should consist of a 4 Inch diameter open joint or slotted pipe encased in free draining gravel. The drain should lead to a positive gravity outlet, such as a subdrain located beneath the sewer, or to a sump where water can be removed by pumping. A typical foundation drain detail is presented on Fig. 3. We recommend the provision of a drain also be considered in crawl space areas, if any. The crawl space drain can be as simple as a shallow trench sloped to drain to the basement level drain. Experience indicated over a period of time, moist conditions can Hussey Residence 6 GEG 0188 develop in crawl space areas resulting in damp, musty smells and standing water. Crawl space areas should be well ventilated. SURFACE DRAINAGE Performance of foundations and concrete flatwork is influenced by surface moisture conditions. Risk of wetting foundation soils can be reduced by carefully planned and maintained surface drainage. Surface drainage should be designed to provide rapid runoff of surface water away from the proposed residence. We recommend the following precautions be observed during construction and maintained at all times after the construction is completed. 1. The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the residence should be sloped to drain away from the residence in all directions. We recommend a slope of at least 12 inches in the first 10 feet around the residence, where possible. In no case should the slope be less than 6 inches in the first 5 feet. The ground surface should be sloped so that water will not pond adjacent to the residence. A drainage swale may be necessary to direct water away from the residence on the uphill side. 2. Backfill around foundation walls should moistened and compacted. 3. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill. Splash blocks and downspout extenders should be provided at all discharge points. 4. Landscaping should be carefully designed to minimize irrigation. Plants used close to foundation walls should be limited to those with low moisture requirements; irrigated grass should not be located within 5 feet of the foundation. Sprinklers should not discharge within 5 feet of foundations. Irrigation should be limited to the minimum amount sufficient to maintain vegetation; application of more water will increase likelihood of slab and foundation movements. 5. Impervious plastic membranes should not be used to cover the ground surface immediately surrounding the residence. These membranes tend to trap moisture and prevent normal evaporation from occurring. Geotextile fabrics can be used to limit the weed growth and allow for evaporation. Hussey Residence GEG 8168 7 LIMITATIONS Two surficlal test points were observed on the subject site. The test points are representative of conditions encountered only at the exact test point locations. We relied on Information provided by the client to estimate subsurface conditions and provide design recommendations. Variations in the subsoil conditions not Indicated are always possible. Our representative should observe open foundation excavations to confirm soils are as anticipated and foundations are prepared as recommended herein. We believe this Investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily used by geotechnical engineers practicing in this area at this time. No other warranty, express or implied, is made. If we can be of further service in discussing the contents of this report or the analysis of the Influence of the subsurface conditions on the design of the residence, please call.
