Addendum to the above report dated September 3, 1987:
1. No groundwater was encountered in the three test
pits, although the soils were moist. At test pit
T-3, the wet trace of roots and organics appears to
be isolated.
2. It is our opinion that the existing fill soils is
of low potential expansion, having an E.I. of 48.
The foundation foc.:ings are recommended to be
designed for 24" depths.
3. Slope stability analysis indicates a safety factor
of 1.87 for the slope section taken at the deepest
condition shown as l-l in the enclosed analysis.
The following assumptions were used for worst
conditions:
-
SAN MARCOS ENGINEERING, INC. civil soils foundations
- Lemkey Addendum to Soils Report, cont'd...
a. Phreatic surface at about 2 to 10 feet along
the inclination of the original ground surface.
b. Seismic load of 0.27 for Zone 3 of the Seismic
zone map of the United States. (After
Algermissen, 1969)
4. Direct shear test results of two samples remolded
to 90% of maximum dry density shows the following:
a. Existing natural soils:
4 = 30 degrees
c = 500 psf
b. Existing fill soils:
+ = 32 degrees
c = 600 psf.

Re: Preliminary Soils Investigation of Lot 431, Map 7950 Carl&ad, California
Dear Mr. Lemkey,
As you requested, we have conducted a preliminary soils investigation of Lot
431, Map 7950, Carlsbad, California located at the vicinity of Cadencia and
Piraqua Streets in Carlsbad, California.
Purpose
Cur investigation was conducted to assess the geologic and qeotechnical
conditions at and near the site which rray affect the proposed development and to
gather soils data on which to base foundation recomnendations. This report
describes the investigation of surfxe and near surface soil conditions,
provides conclusions regarding the resident soils, and makes 'foundation
recanrendations for a proposed residential structure.
Project k-cation and Description -
Lat 431 is located at the vicinity of the northeasterly comer of intersection
of Cadencia and Piraqua Streets, in Carl&ad, California. The lot is
rectangular in shape and has ken graded sametime in July 1986 to accomate

the construction of a residential house therein. It is proposed
at this time to regrade the entire pad for the construction of a
residential structure. Plate 1 show the Vicinity Map.
Regional Geology
Carlsbad, California lies on the coastal plain of northern San
Dieqo County and the adjoining low rolling foothills of the
Peninsular Range of Southern California. Marine conglomerates,
sandstones and shales of Eocene to Pleistocene age underlie the
coastal plain while metasediments and metavolcanics of the
Santiago Peak Formation intruded by Cretaceous batholithic rocks
make up the foothills. Lot 697 is underlain by a northwesterly
trending belt of the Juro-Triassic Peak Formation which consists
of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rock.
Although a number of small faults have been reported in the
surrounding area, none are known to be active. The nearest known
active faults are the Elsinore Fault Zone located 24 miles to the
northeast and the offshore extension of the Rose Canyon-
Newport/Indlewood Fault Zone which lies from 6-8 miles offshore
beneath the Pacific Ocean approximately 10 miles to the
southwest. Both faults have been active in recorded history and
are acknowledged of being capable of producing earthquakes up to
Richter Magnitude 7.0 (M7.0).
Soils Investigation
Four (41 test pits were excavated at site at the approximate
locations indicated in Plate 2. The test pits are indicated as

T-l to T-4, inclusive.
Log of the soil samples encountered are shown in Appendix b.
Findings
The fill material imported to form the existing qraded pad
consist of brown to light brown silty sand. The native soils is
brown to reddish brown sandy clay with broken or fractured rock.
At test pit T-l, very hard, dense rock fracture was encountered
at bottom of test pit at -- 3.5 feet.
At T-2, native reddish brown clay was encountered at -- 4 feet
from existing surface, while at T-3, the reddish brown Sandy Clay
material was encountered at -- 7 feet below surface.
The fill material overlying the graded pad was compacted and 13
tests were taken at the locations indicated in Plate 1. The test
results are shown in Appendix B.
Laboratory Soils Testinq
Maximum dry density test of the prevailing fill material was made
and the test result is shown below:
SAMPLE OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT
T-l @ -2.5': Brown Silty Sand 127.5 pcf 9.6%
Expansion Index Test per UBC Standard No. 29-l indicate the soils

Conclusions and Foundation Recommendations -
1. It is our opinion that the existing site soils can safely
support the project proposed to be constructed at site
provided the recommendations presented herein are observed
and followed during the design and construction of the
structure proposed to be built.
2. The Earthwork Specifications found in Appendix A forms part
of these recommendations. If there are conflicts in the
provisions between the Earthwork Specifications and these
specific recommendations, the latter provisions shall
prevail.
3. We recommend an allowable soil bearing pressure of 1500 psf
for standard spread footings. Bottom of footings should be
at least 24" below adjacent finish grade or natural grade.
4. All exterior and interior wall footings should be
continuously reinforced with 2 -#5 bars placed 3 " above
bottom of footing and 2 -#5 bars placed 2" below top of
footing.
5. Concrete slabs on grade should be at least 4" thick and
reinforced with welded wire mesh placed at mid-thickness of
slab. The slab should be underlain by 4" sand and vapor
barrier. Prior to placing the sand and vapor barrier, the
subgrade soils should be wetted to at least 4% above
optimum moisture content.

6. The following soil parameters are recommended for use in
the design of retaining walls:
Active equivalent fluid pressure = 36 pcf, No surcharge backfill
Active equivalent fluid pressure = 59 pcf, 2:l slope backfill i-
Passive Equivalent fluid pressure = 330 pcf,
No surcharge
Passive Equivalent fluid pressure = 164 pcf 2:l Backfill slope
Coefficient of friction between soils and masonry = 0.33
7. To minimise differential settlement inherent in cut and
fill situation of graded pads, it is recommended that the
pad soils in the cut area should be undercut by 36 inches.
8. A soils engineer should inspect the foundation trench soils
prior to poring of concrete for the footings to see to it
that the recommendations presented herein are followed.
9. .Reconunend slope ratios for cut and fill not to exceed as
shown:
cut: 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
Fill: 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
10. All surface water runoff should be directed away from the
foundation system positively.
11. This firm should be contacted if soils d

evaluation and recommendations of the soils can be made.
Limitation of Report -
This report is based upon surficial and limited subsurface
observations and logical projections inferred from observed
conditions. Should conditions varying from those reported be
found during development, a qualified soils engineer should
inspect the site and evaluate the potential effect of our
recommendations. The report has been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted soils and foundation engineering practice. No
other warranties expressed or implied are made as to the
professional advice and recommendations contained. This report
is provided for the exclusive use of the client or his authorised
agents.
