Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Dear Sir: As requested, we observed the foundation excavation at the subject site on April 7, 1982 to determine the general subgrade conditions for foundation support.. At the time of our site visit, footing trenches had been excavated from 1 1/2 to 3 feet below the relatively level adjacent ground surface. The soils exposed at bearing level consisted of medium stiff, porous clays underlying fill consisting of gravelly clay and silt with scattered cobbles. Several areas containing gravelly fill adjacent to existing structures had not been completely excavated to footing grade at this time. Results of consolidation tests performed on relatively undisturbed samples of the natural clays obtained at footing grade in the trenches indicate moderate to high settlement potential when subjected to con- ditions of loading and wetting. The clays encountered were in a natural moist condition. Some minor wet areas were noted in the trenches adjacent the existing building where water was dripping from the eaves. We understand the addition will be a single story structure with typically light foundation loadings. The existing gravelly fill that overlies the natural clays appears to vary in depth, consistency and density. This fill should not be used for foundation bearing. The excavation should be stepped down to completely expose natural subsoils. Considering the conditions of the natural clays exposed in the excavation, we recommend the use of spread footings placed below all fill, topsoil and loose material and designed for a maximum bearing pressure of 1,200 psf for support of the structure. A final bearing check should be made once the excavation is cut to natural soils. Initial settlements of the foundation should be minor but additional differential movement can be expectefi if the subsoils were to become wet.
