Job No. 4 334 92
— Dear Mr. & Mrs. Chesney:
As requested, we have conducted a subsoil study for a proposed residence to be located at
the subject site. The exploratory pits were dug in the general building and leach field areas
designated by you.
Subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory pits excavated in the proposed building
area consist of about 3 feet of organic topsoil overlying very stiff sandy clay to the pit depths
of about 8 feet. Based on the laboratory test results, the clays have a low to moderate
expansion potential when wetted. Groundwater was not encountered in the pits at the time
■ of excavation and the clays were generally slightly moist.
The proposed residence can be founded on spread footings placed on the natural clays and
designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 4000 psf. The footings should also be
designed for a minimum dead load pressure of 1000 psf. Some differential foundation
movement could occur if the bearing soils became wetted. The septic field test site appears
suitable for use of a conventional infiltration disposal system.
The report which follows describes our investigation, summarizes our findings, and presents
our recommendations. It is important that we provide consultation during design, and field
services during construction to review and monitor the implementation of the geotechnical
recommendations.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed residence to be
located on Lot 19A, Filing 2, Oak Meadows PUD, Garfield County, Colorado. The project
site is shown on Fig. 1. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for
■ foundation design and to assess the feasibility of an infiltration septic disposal system. The
study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services
to Herb and Peggy Chesney, dated May 21, 1992.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory pits was conducted to obtain
information on subsurface conditions. Samples obtained during the field exploration were
tested in the laboratory to determine compressibility or swell characteristics and
classification of the on -site soils. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing
were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable
is
pressures for the proposed building foundation. The• results of the field exploration,
laboratory testing and percolation testing for the septic disposal system are presented in the
report.
_a
This report has been prepared to summarize the data obtained during this study and
to present our conclusions and recommendations based on the assumed construction and
the subsoil conditions encountered. Design parameters and a discussion of geotechnical
engineering considerations related to construction of the residence are included in the
7
report.

PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
-�
At the time of our study, design plans for the residence had not been developed. The
building is proposed in the area roughly between the exploratory Pits 1 and 2, as shown on
. Fig. 1. The septic field is proposed in the Profile Pit area. We assume the building will be
one and two story and the excavation will be a maximum cut depth of one level, about 6 to
v 8 feet, below the existing ground surface. For the purpose of our analysis, foundation
— • loadings for the structure were assumed to be relatively Tight and typical of the assumed type
of construction. An on -site septic disposal system is planned northeast of the building in the
area of the Profile and Percolation Pits.
If building loadings, location or grading plans are significantly different from those
described above, we should be notified to reevaluate the recommendations in this
report.
•
SITE CONDITIONS
The lot is vacant and generally gently sloping down to the east. The front part of the
lot is a grass and wildflower covered meadow. The uphill (western portion) is moderately
sloping and covered with scrub oak and other brushy trees. Elevation difference across the
designated building area is on the order of 5 feet.

FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on May 28, 1992. Two
exploratory pits were dug in the designated building area and one pit was dug in the septic
disposal field area at the locations shown on Fig. 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions.
The pits were dug with a rubber tire backhoe. The pits were logged by a representative of
Chen- Northern, Inc. Three percolation pits were dug near the profile pit and soaked prior
to infiltration testing on May 29, 1992.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with relatively undisturbed and disturbed sampling
methods. Depths at which the samples were taken are shown on the Logs of Exploratory
Pits, Fig. 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer,
and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface profiles encountered at the site are shown graphically on Fig. 2.
Below about 3 to 6 feet of organic topsoil, the subsoils consisted of very stiff, slightly sandy
to very sandy clays. Scattered cobble size rock fragments were encountered in Pit 2. Similar
clay soils or clay matrix encountered on nearby lots can possess a low to moderate swell
potential. Cobble and boulder size rock is also common to the area.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained during the field exploration
included in -situ moisture content and dry density`, grain size analyses and liquid and plastic
limits. Swell - consolidation testing was performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples

of the clay subsoils. The swell - consolidation test results, presented on Figs. 3 and 4, indicate
low compressibility under light to moderate surcharge loadings and a low to moderate
expansion potential when wetted under a constant light surcharge. The laboratory testing
•
is summarized in Table I.
No free water was encountered in the pits at time of excavation. The topsoil was
moist and the clay subsoils were slightly moist.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory pits and the
nature-of the proposed construction, spread footings placed on undisturbed clay soils can
be used for the building support. The expansion potential of the clay subsoils can probably
a be mitigated by load concentration to reduce or prevent swelling in the event of wetting
below footing level. Surface runoff and utility leakage are possible sources of water which .
could cause wetting.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread
footing foundation system. The construction criteria should be considered when preparing
•
project documents.
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural clay soils can be designed for an
allowable soil bearing pressure of 4000 psf. The footings should also be designed for
a minimum dead load pressure of 1000 psf. In order to satisfy the minimum dead
load pressure under lightly loaded areas, it may be necessary to concentrate loads by
Ch en 0Northern.Inc. COOSUll „(.t 19 „OL,s:, it] sL...,,,,
I - 5 -
using a grade beam and pad system.. Wall -on -grade construction is not recommended
at this site to achieve the minimum dead load.
2) ' Based on experience, we expect settlement of footings designed and constructed as
discussed in this section will be up to about 1 inch. There could be additional
differential movement of about 1 inch if the bearing soils were to become wetted.
3) The footings should have a minimum width of 12 inches for continuous footings and
18 inches for isolated pads.
4) Continuous foundation walls should be heavily reinforced top and bottom to span
local anomalies and limit the risk of differential movement. One method of analysis
is to design the foundation wall to span an unsupported length of at least 12 feet.
Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also be designed to resist a
lateral earth pressure as discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls" section
of this report.
5) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with
adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. We
recommend foundations be placed at least 42 inches below the exterior grade at this
site.
6) Prior to the footing construction, any existing fill, topsoil and loose or disturbed soils
should be removed and the footing bearing level extended down to competent
d bearing soils. If water seepage is encountered in the excavation, the footing areas
should be dewatered before concrete placement.
d 7) A representative of the soil engineer should observe all footing excavations prior to
q concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.

Nil 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
M pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of 65 pcf for backfill
ba t consisting of the on -site soils. Cantilevered retaining structures which are separate from the
PI
residence and can be expected to deflect sufficiently to mobilize the full active earth
M pressure condition should be designed for a lateral earth pressure computed on the basis
PI of an equivalent fluid unit weight of 50 pcf for backfill consisting of the on -site soils. For
an imported granular backfill as specified below, the lateral pressure can be reduced to
PI 55 pcf for basement walls and 40 pcf for cantilevered walls.
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 slightly above optimum. Backfill
1 placed in pavement and walkway areas should be compacted to 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
1

I
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 0.3. Passive pressure against the sides
of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of 250 pcf. 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 a granular material
compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content
at or slightly above optimum.
We recommend predominantly granular soils for backfilling foundation walls and
retaining structures because their use results in lower lateral earth pressures. Imported
granular wall backfill should contain less than 25% passing the No. 200 sieve and have a
maximum size of 6 inches. The upper 2 feet of the wall backfill should be a relatively
III impervious material such as the on -site clay soil or a pavement structure should be provided
to limit surface water infiltration into the backfill.
u
U FLOOR SLABS
The clay soils possess an expansion potential and slab heave could occur if the
II subgrade soils were to become wet. Slab -on -grade construction may be used provided

precautions are taken to limit potential movement and the risk of distress to the building
1 is accepted by the owner. A positive way to reduce the risk of slab movement, which is
commonly used in the area, is to construct structurally supported floors over crawl space.
To reduce the effects of some differential movement, nonstructural floor slabs should
1 be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow
I unrestrained vertical movement. Interior non - bearing partitions resting on floor slabs should
be provided with a slip joint at the bottom of the wall so that, if the slab moves, the
movement cannot be transmitted to the upper structure. This detail is also important for
wallboards, stairways and door frames. Slip joints which will allow at least 2 inches of
I r vertical movement are recommended. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce
damage due to shrinkage cracking. Slab reinforcement and control joints should be
1: established by the designer based on experience and the intended slab use.
A minimum 4 -inch layer of free - draining gravel should be placed immediately
beneath basement level slabs -on- grade. This material should consist of minus 2 -inch
aggregate with less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve 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.
a
Required fill beneath slabs should consist of imported granular material, excluding
topsoil and oversized rocks. The fill should be spread in thin horizontal lifts, adjusted near
optimum moisture content, and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard
Proctor density. All vegetation, organic topsoil and loose or disturbed soil should be
removed prior to fill placement. The less organic deeper topsoil may be left in -place
beneath slab areas.

The above recommendations will not prevent slab heave if the expansive soils
underlying slabs -on -grade become wet. However, the recommendations will reduce the
effects if slab heave occurs. All plumbing lines should be pressure tested and repaired as
necessary before backfilling to help reduce the potential for wetting.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although groundwater was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our
experience in mountainous areas and where clay soils are present, that local perched
_ groundwater may develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen
_ ground during spring runoff can also create a perched condition. Therefore, we recommend
f — below grade construction such as crawl space and basement areas be protected from wetting
by an underdrain system. The drain should also act to prevent buildup of hydrostatic
pressures behind foundation and retaining walls.
The underdrain system should consist of a drainpipe surrounded by free - draining
granular material placed at the bottom of the wall backfill. The drain lines should be
placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade, and
sloped at a minimum 1% grade to a suitable gravity outlet. Free - draining granular material
used in the drain system should consist of minus 2 -inch aggregate with less than 50% passing
the No. 4 sieve and less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve. The drain gravel should be at
least 2 feet deep. A PVC liner may be placed beneath the drain gravel and pipe to prevent
drain water flow to beneath the foundation.

- -'M PERCOLATION TESTING
The percolation test results are presented in Table II. Due to the topsoil depth, P -1
and P -2 tests were based in the less organic topsoil and the P -3 test was based in the
underlying clays. Considering the subsurface conditions identified and the percolation test
results, a conventional infiltration septic disposal system appears feasible at the test site.
We recommend the leach field area be oversized due to the stiff clay soils. Additional
percolation tests may be warranted for the final design depending on the location and depth
of the system.
M SURFACE DRAINAGE
Positive surface drainage is an important aspect of the site to reduce distress to the
structure. The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and
maintained at all times after the residence has been completed:
1) Excessive wetting or drying of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should
be avoided during construction. Drying could increase the expansion potential of the
II clay soils.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to at
least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement areas and to at
least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas. Granular
wall backfill should be capped with about 2 feet of the on -site soils to reduce surface
water infiltration.
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.
NI 4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill.
1
II 5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at least 10 feet
i ll from foundation walls.

NI
This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted soil and
1 foundation engineering practices in this area for use by the client for design purposes. The
Il conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory pits excavated at the locations indicated on Fig. 1, the assumed type
1 of construction and our experience in the area. The nature and extent of subsurface
1 variations across the site may not become evident until excavation is performed. If during
construction, fill, soil, rock or water conditions appear to be different from those described
NI herein, this office should be advised at once so reevaluation of the recommendations may
IIII made. We recommend on -site observation of excavations and foundation bearing strata
and testing of 'structural fill by a representative of the soil engineer.
