SCOPE
This report presents the results of our soils and foundation investigation for
16 residential lots at Riverbend By The River in Garfield County, Colorado. We
explored the subsurface conditions to provide foundation recommendations for
single family buildings. This report includes a description of the subsurface
conditions found in our exploratory borings, recommended foundation systems and
geotechnical criteria for them, design pavement section alternatives and
construction criteria for details influenced by the subsoils. Our report was prepared
from data developed during our field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering
analysis and our experience with similar conditions. A summary of our conclusions
is presented below.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1. Our exploratory borings penetrated nil to 0.5 feet of organic clays or
up to 4 feet of man made fill constructed with the on site sandy clays.
The organic clays and fill were above stiff to very stiff, silty to sandy
clays. The silty to sandy clays were underlain by dense to very dense,
silty to sandy gravels with cobble and boulder In our borings TH-1,
TH-5 and TH-7 through TH-12. No Free groundwater was found in our
borings during our field Investigation.
2. Depending on soils found at foundation elevation the buildings can be
founded with footings on the undisturbed natural gravels or footings
with a minimum dead load on the natural clays. Maximum allowable
soil pressures and minimum dead load pressure recommendations are
presented in the "Foundations" section.
3. Basement and garage floors will be slabs -on -grade. Slabs -on -grade
floors can bear on the natural gravels or clay subgrade (see "Floor
Slabs and Exterior Concrete Flatwork" section). All "topsoil", existing
fill or other deleterious material should be removed from beneath
slabs -on -grade floors.
4. Drive areas should be paved with either 5 inches of full depth asphalt
or 3 inches of asphalt above 7 inches of aggregate base (see
"Pavement Construction" section).
MESA STRUCTURES
CYUT GS -2112

5. Good surface drainage is Important. Grading plans should allow for
surface drainage away from the buildings and off the surface of paved
areas and should be maintained at all times to reduce wetting of
subsoils (see "Surface Drainage" section).
SITE CONDITIONS
The subject site Is approximately 10.6 acres located on a alluvial terrace
above and to the south of the County Road 335. The New Castle/I-70 interchange Is
approximately 2 miles to the west. The existing Riverbend subdivision is across
County Road 335 to the southwest. Land to the south, east and west has not been
built on. A wastewater treatment facility is being constructed on property adjacent
to the north with the Colorado River beyond. Ground surfaces at the site slope
down to the north at grades measured and visually estimated at 2 to 6 percent.
Vegetation consists of native grasses and weeds.
Utility and infrastructure construction Is in progress at the site. Roads have
been roughed in and some fill has been placed in shallow drainages. An abandoned
sewage disposal pond Is being removed in the central part of the site.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
Single family residential homes are to be built. The buildings will be one or
two stories tall and wood framed. Basements will be an option. Basement and
garage floors will be slabs -on -grade. Other floors in living areas will likely be
structurally supported by the foundation with a crawlspace below. Foundation loads
we assumed for our analysis were between 1000 and 3000 pounds per lineal foot on
continuous footings and maximum interior column loads of 15 kips. We should be
informed If actual construction is different than described above.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling twenty-one (21)
exploratory borings at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. Our borings
TH-1 through TH-16 were drilled for foundation analysis. Our borings S-1 through
S-5 were drilled for pavement analysis. Drilling and sampling was directed by our
engineering geologist who logged the soils and obtained samples for testing in our
laboratory. Summary logs of our exploratory borings are shown on Figures 2 and
3.
Our exploratory borings penetrated nil to 0.5 feet of organic clays or up to 4
feet of man made f111 constructed with the on site sandy clays. The organic clays
and fill were above stiff to very stiff, silty to sandy clays. The silty to sandy clays
were underlain by dense to very dense, silty to sandy gravels with cobble and
boulder in our borings TH-1, TH-5 and TH-7 through TH-12. No Free groundwater
was found in our borings during our field investigation.
We encountered auger refusal on cobble and boulder. In our opinion
excavations for foundations and utilities can be accomplished with medium to large,
heavy earthmoving equipment. We do not believe excavations into the granular soils
will be more difficult at this site than at other sites in the locale. Estimated depths
to gravels contours are presented on Figure 4,
Laboratory testing to confirm field classifications and determine physical
characteristics of the soils was performed. Results of our laboratory testing are
shown on Figures 5 through 7 and summarized on Table 1.
SITE GRADING
We understand that grading will be limited to that required to construct
basements and foundations. We anticipate maximum excavation depths of 10 feet.
No fill will be below foundations but may be needed to achieve subgrade elevations
MESA STRUCTURES
CTLIT GS -2112 3
for garage floor slabs and exterior concrete network. Areas to receive fill or bear
slabs -on -grade should be stripped of vegetation, organic soils, existing fill or other
deleterious materials. The resulting surface should be scarified to at least 8 inches
deep, moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 95 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density
(ASTM D 698). On-site soils free of organic matter, rock larger than 6 inches in
diameter or other deleterious materials can be used as fill. Fill should be moisture
conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content, placed In maximum 8
inch thick loose lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the standard Proctor
maximum dry density. Fill placed in areas not to be built on can be placed as
"common fill" and can be compacted to 90 percent of ASTM D 698.
likediStidimi sides will need to be sloped or braced. We believe the gravels are
Type C and the clays Type B as described In the October, 1989 Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard governing excavations published by the
Department of Labor. The publication Indicates that tes should be no
steeper than 1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical) for Type C soils or*(horizontal to
vertical) for Type B soils above the groundwater level.
Soils removed from an excavation should not be stockpiled at the edge of the
excavation. We recommend the excavated soils be placed at a distance from the top
of the excavation equal to at least the depth of the excavation.
Free groundwater was not encountered in our exploratory borings.
Depending upon excavation depths and time of year water may be present. If free
groundwater is encountered, we recommend the excavations be sloped to sumps
where water can be removed by pumping.
FOUNDATIONS
At footing elevations (approximately 4 and: 8 feet deep) our borings
encountered stiff to very stiff, sandy clays or dense to very dense, sandy gravels

with cobble and boulder. Topsoil, existing fill or other deleterious material should
be removed from beneath the building footprints. We judge the natural gravels to
have excellent foundation support characteristics. Most of the clays tested exhibited
a low to moderate swell potential. We recommend the buildings be founded with
footings. At lots where gravels are exposed at foundation elevations, footings with
a comparatively high soil pressure can be used. At Tots where clays are exposed
we recommend footings with a minimum dead load. We have assumed light
structures that are sufficiently flexible to withstand some differential foundation
movement will be built. The recommended maximum soil pressures and dead load
pressures presented below should result in total settlement on the order of one inch.
Maximum differential settlement may be one half of the actual total settlement. The
risk of excessive differential or localized settlement can be reduced by careful
attention to drainage precautions discussed under "Surface Drainage".
Where excavations expose the natural gravels at foundation depths, we
recommend footings at a comparatively high soil bearing pressure. Where low to
moderately expansive clays are exposed at foundation elevations we recommend
footings with a minimum dead load. We were told that basements are planned for
most lots. Excavations for basements would generally extend through the clays and
expose gravels on lots 5 through 11. On lots 1 through 4 and 12 th_gugh 16 we
believe footings will bear on the natural clays. Footings can be designed using the
following criteria:
Type 1 Foundation - Footings On Gravels
1. Footings bearing ,on the natural gravels can be designed for a
maximum allowable soil bearing pressure of 5,000 psi. Material
loosened during the excavation or forming process should be
removed from footing areas or compacted prior to placing concrete;
2. Foundation walls for continuous footings should be reinforced top and
bottom to span undisclosed loose soil pockets. We recommend steel
reinforcement equivalent to that required for a simple span of 10 feet.
Reinforcement should be designed by a qualified structural engineer;
MESA STRUCTURES
CTL/T GS -2112 5
3. Minimum footing sizes are desirable. We recommend a minimum
width 0116 inches for continuous footings and at least 2 feet by 2 feet
for isolated column footings. Larger sizes may be required based on
the structural loads;
4. The soils beneath exterior footings should be protected from freezing.
We recommend footings be at least 36 Inches below finished exterior
grades. The local building department should be contacted to verify
required frost protection depth.
Type 2 Foundation - Footings On Clays
1. Footings bearing on clays can be designed for a maximum allowable
soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf and a minimum dead load of 1,000
psf. Material loosened during the excavation or forming process
should be removed from footing areas or compacted prior to placing
concrete;
2. Where footin ds are used below bearing walls a 4 -inch void should
be provided beneath t e grade beame�ads to concentrate
dead load of the building and to allow space for expansive soils to
swell;
3. Foundation wails for continuous footings should be reinforced top and
bottom to span undisclosed loose soil pockets. We recommend steel
reinforcement equivalent to that required for a simple span of 10 feet.
Reinforcement should be designed by a qualified structural engineer;
4. The soils beneath exterior footings should be protected from freezing.
We recommend footings be at least 36 inches below finished exterior
grades. The local building department should be contacted to verify
required frost protection depth.
FLOOR SLABS AND EXTERIOR CONCRETE FLATWORK
We anticipate excavations will expose silty to sandy gravels or low to
moderately expansive clays. We were told that basement floors will be slabs -on -
grade. Floors in other living areas will be above basements. Garage floors and
exterior concrete flatwork will be slabs -on -grade. The native gravels will provide
excellent support for slabs -on -grade. Slabs -on -grade on expansive soils is
unpredictable. Slight increases in moisture content of expansive clay subgrade can
MESA STRUCTURES
CTLT GS•2112 6
cause considerable heaving and cracking of slabs -on -grade. The only reliable
method to mitigate floor movement on expansive soils is to construct structural
floors with crawlspaces below. Crawlspaces should be well ventilated. We believe,
that scabs -on -grade will perform satisfactorily on the lots on which the clays are
located as long as moisture increases in the subsoil is minimized. We recommend
the following design and construction criteria for slab -on -grade floors:
1. Slabs -on -grade should be placed directly on the natural gravels or
clay subgrade prepared as discussed above under "Site Grading".
Topsoil, existing fill or other deleterious material should be removed
from beneath slabs -on -grade and replaced with non -swelling structural
fill with 100 percent finer than 3 inches and a minimum of 20 percent
silty and clay size particles (passing the No. 200 sieve) Fill should be
moisture treated to 2 percent below to 2 percent above optimum
moisture content, placed In maximum 8 inch thick loose lifts and
compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry
density (ASTM D 698);
2. Slabs -on -grade should be separated from exterior walls and_interior
bearing members. Vertical movement of slabs should not b
restricted;
3. Plumbing below the slabs should be pressure tested prior to placing
concrete. Trench backfill should be moisture treated to within 2
percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95
percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698);
4. Mechanical systems placed on slabs -on -grade should be provided
with flexible couplings to prevent movement from being transmitted to
plumbing and ductwork. Plumbing which passes through slabs -on -
grade should be isolated with sleeves;
5. Frequent control joints should be provided. The American Concrete
Institute (ACI) recommends maximum joint spacing of 15 to 20 feet to
control cracking.
The above precautions will not prevent movement of slabs -on -grade floors in the
event the soils become wet, but they will reduce damage when the movement
occurs.
MESA STRUCTURES
CTL1T GS -2112

BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION
Basement walls will be subject to lateral earth pressure. These walls are
restrained and cannot move, therefore, they should be designed for the "at rest"
lateral earth pressure. We assume on-site soils will be used as backfill. The native
soils less than 4 -inches in diameter are appropriate for backfill. Where the on site
gravels are used as backfill an equivalent fluid density of 45pcf can be used to
calculate the "at rest" lateral earth pressure. Where the on site clays are used as
backfill an equivalent fluid density of 55 pcf can be used. The lateral earth pressure
values do not include allowances for sloping backfill, hydrostatic pressures or
surcharge Toads. The risk of wet basement conditions can be reduced by careful
attention to drainage precautions and recommendations discussed under "Surface
Drainage". Where footings bear on the natural clays, we recommend foundation
drains to reduce the risk of accumulation of surface moisture adjacent to foundation
walls. Drains should consist of a 4 -inch diameter open joint or slotted pipe encased
in free draining gravel. The drains should lead to a positive gravity outlet. A detail
for a typical foundation drain is presented in Figure 8.
PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION
The subgrade soils were investigated by drilling five (5) exploratory borings
at the approximate locations shown as S-1 through S-5 on Figure. 1. Subgrade soils
at each boring were sampled by our engineering geologist who directed field
operations and logged the soils penetrated. Subgrade soils were sandy clays.
Our laboratory investigation was designed to provide index properties of the
soils sampled and subgrade support values which influence the pavement design.
A sample of the clay from each boring was subjected to classification tests to
determine a group index.. The clays had liquid limits of 37 to 44 percent, plastic
indices of 20 to 27 percent and 94 to 97 percent silt and clay size particles (passing
the No. 200 sieve). Group index was 19 to 26. Laboratory test results are presented
on Table A-1. We estimated a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value of 4.
MESA STRUCTURES
CTLJT GS -2112

An equivalent daily load application (EDLA) of 3 which represents a design
equivalent single axle load (ESAL) of 21,900 for a 20 year design period was used
to determine the recommended pavement sections. Based on our calculations, we
recommend 5.0 Inches of full depth asphalt or 4 inches of asphalt underlain 7 inches
of aggregate base In automobile parking or drive areas. We recommend a geotextile
fabric between the clay subgrade and aggregate base.
Prior to paving, the entire pavement subgrade should be scarified, moisture
conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at
least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density (ASTM D 698). Fill below
pavement to achieve the subgrade elevations should be moisture conditioned 10
within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent
f ASTM D 698 maximum dry density. Import soils should be evaluated by our
oratory prior to trucking the material to the site. Before placing base course or
full depth asphalt, we recommend the entire subgrade surface be proof rolled with
a heavy (18 kips/axle) pneumatic tired vehicle such as a loaded ten wheel dump
truck. Areas which deform excessively should be overexcavated and recompacted
or otherwise stabilized.
Pavements will require careful material and construction control. If a
combination section is used, the aggregate base course should have a minimum R
value of 78. The base course should be moisture conditioned to near optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum modified Proctor
dry density (ASTM D 1557). Asphalt should have a total resistance (Rt) of at least
95 and should be compacted to 95 percent maximum Marshal density. We
recommend the asphalt be designed with at least 1650 pound Marshall Stability.
The oil content, void ratio and gradation need to be considered in the design.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The performance of foundations and concrete flatwork is influenced by the
moisture conditions in the subsoils. The risk of wetting foundation soils can be
MESA STRUCTURES
CTLJT GS -2112
9
reduced by planned and maintained surface drainage. Wetting or drying of open
foundation excavations should be avoided. The ground surface surrounding the
residences should be sloped to drain away from the residences in all directions. We
recommend a slope of at least 12 inches in the first 10 feet.
Plastic sheeting does not allow evaporation to escape and should not be
used adjacent to the buildings. A geotextile fabric can be used adjacent to the
buildings for weed control which will allow evaporation to occur and therefore not
increase the moisture content in the subsoils. Sprinkler heads should be no closer
than 5 feet from the buildings and should be directed away from the buildings.
Where buildings are founded on the clays we recommend landscaping within 5 feet
the buildings be with native fauna or other scheme with low irrigation
requirements.
Backfill of the foundation wails can be with on-site material, less than 4
inches in diameter, moisture treated to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content
and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density.
Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill.
Splash blocks or extensions should be provided at all downspout discharge
locations.
LIMITATIONS
Our exploratory borings were spaced to obtain a reasonably accurate picture
of the subsurface. Variations In the subsurface conditions not indicated by our
exploratory borings will occur. We should observe the completed excavations to
confirm the soils are as anticipated from our exploratory borings.
Our report was based on conditions disclosed by our exploratory borings,
results of laboratory testing, engineering analysis and our experience. Criteria
presented reflects the proposed buildings as we understand them. We should be

advised if the final design differs from our assumptions to permit us to re-evaluate
our conclusions and recommendations.
This Investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of
care and skill ordinarily exercised by geotechnical engineers currently practicing
under similar conditions In the locality of this project. No other warranty, express
or implied, is made. If we can be of further service or if you have questions
