Objectives
SUPPLEMENTAL SOILS INVESTIGATION
The objectives of this investigation were to determine the relative density of the existing
filled ground ond to examine the ut.derlying noturol soils at Lots 1 to 13, inclusive, and 01X, to
determine what types of foundations would be required for the soil conditions encountered in the
borings drilled in the orea of Lots 54 to 66, inclusive, at Shelter Cove, Carlsbad, California.
In order to accomplish these objectives the data presented 0s o part of a general in-
vestigotion incur report doted June 21, 1963 was reviewed and twenty-one additional borings
were drilled. These were drilled on Lots 1 to 13, inclusive, and Lots 54, 56, 57, 60, 62, 63;
64, and 66. Undisturbed and representative loose samples were taken, ond lcborotory tests
were conducted to determine the physical chorocteristics of the existing filled ground and
underlying soils.
Field Investigation
Boring Nos. 19 to 39, inclusive, were drilled with a truck mounted rotary bucket-
type drill rig ot the approximate locations shown on the attached Drcwing No. 1, entitled
“Location of Test Borings”. The borings were drilled to depths of 4 feet to 10 feet below the
existing ground surface. A continuous log of the soils encountered in the borings was recorded
ot the time of the drilling and is presented on the attached Drawing Nos. 36 to 43, inclusive,
each entitled “Summary Sheet”.

The soils were visually classified by field identification procedures in accordonce with
the Unified Soils Classification Chart. A simplified description of the clossificotion system is
presented in the ottoched Appendix A ot the end of this report.
Undisturbed samples were obtained ot frequent intervals in the soils ahead of the drilling.
‘The drop weight used For either pushing or driving the sampling tube into the soils WCS the “Kelly”
bar of the drill rig which weighs 1100 pounds, and the overage drop WCS 12 inchef. The general
procedures used in Field sampling are described under “Sampling” in Appendix A.
Loborotory Tests
Loborotory tests were performed on oil undisturbed samples in order to determine the dry
density, ond moisture content. Th e results of these tests are presented on Drawing Nos. 36 to
43, inclusive.
In addition to the above tests, laboratory compaction tests were performd on represent-
ofve samples of the Filled ground soils. The soils were tested in accordance with A.A. S. H.O.
T99-49 method of compaction modified to 26 blows of a 10 pound hammer dropping 18 inches
on each of 3 eJ”cI layers of soil in J 4 inch diameter l/Xl cubic foot diameter mo!d. The
optimum moisture and maximum dry density for each selected representative sample are presented

The data obtained from the compaction tests was used to calculate the relative density
of the filled gr?Jnd soils. The relative percent compaction for each sample tested in the filled
ground is included on Drawing Nos. 36 to 43, inclusive.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
Soil Stroto
Fill was encountered at all borings. The depth of fill varied from 1.8 feet at Boring 25,
to 9.0 feet at Boring 36. At Boring 37, ground water caused the caving in of the soil ot 6.0 feet
so the depth of fill is uncertain. The depths of the fill at the other borings and the natural soils
immediately under the fill are presented on Drowing Nos. 36 to 43, inclusive. ~
In general, the soils supporting the filled ground ot Borings 23 to 33, inclusive, ond 38
that were drilled on Lots 1 to 9, inclusive, and on Lots 57, 60, and 62, were medium firm to firm
silty and clayey sands ar medium compact to corrpact fine to medium sands. At Borings 19 to 22,
inclusive, and 34, 35, 36, and 39 that were drilled on Lots 10 to 13, inclusive, Lots 54, 63, 64,
and 66, the fill soils were deeper and were underlain by relatively soft compressible silty clays,
and clayey sands.

Conclusions -
It is concluded from the results of the field investigation and the laboratory test data .
-
that the relative density of the filled ground varies from 78.5 to 94.6 percent compaction.
- The natural soils underlying the fill are also variable. In order to aid in reaching conclusions
as to the type OF ioundations required on each Lot, the findings in the additional twenty-one
-
borings have to be correlated with those of the previous borings drilled and the lots have been
grouped into categories. It should be pointed out thot on other portions of these lots where no
borings were drilled, other soil conditions my exist. -
In that this report supplements our report of June 21, 1963 whenever o Lot No. is listed
- under Category A, B, C or D below, the conclusions presented supplement and supersede those
-7
- previously presented_: Those lots listed under Category A, presented below belong under
“Condition I’! described on page 6 of our previous report and those listed under Categories B,
-
C ond D belong under “Condition II”. For the onticipotz d t:;oes of soil conditions and foundation
design to be used on any lots not itemized below, reference should be made to our previous
report.
-
Category A. Where fill soils vory from 6.0 to 9.0 feet in depth and are generally less
- than 90 percent compaction and these unsatisfactory fill soils are underlain by either soft com-
pressible or unknown noturol deposits. Driven piles would be indicated ot these locations. -
Lot Nos. 10, 11,s 13, 54, 56, 63, 64, and 66. Other adjacent Lots probobly falling into
- this same category. Lot Nos. 53, 55, and 65.
Category 8. Where no fill was encountered in the test borings and where the natural
ground is capable of supporting the structural loads.
-
Lot No. 58
Category C. VJhere fill was determined in test borings to be 90 percent of maximum dry
density or greater, underlain by natural soils capable of supporting fill ond structural loads.

An alternate consideration for Lots 1 to 6, inclusive, Lots 8 and 9, and Lots 57, 60 and 62
!
which ore grcuped under Category D, would be to remove the existing fill to the medium compact __.-
natural soils und then replace the fil! and compact this to at least 5Q percent of maximum dry

I _r It may be that some of the houses will be located on other oreas on some of those lots
j
,listed under tither “Category A” or “Condition III, where possibly better soil conditions exist.
For example, it is not known whether better conditions exist on the west side of Lots 10, 1 I, 12,

on those portions of Lots 54, 56, 63 and 64, adjacent to Park Drive. If such more favorable ’
conditions are found at the proposed final locations of houses on these lots, then alternate
types of foundation support may be used.

Sampling
..* m*ao, s*,.s*s. LA Y.... rse.sss.
The undisturbed soil samples are obtained by forcing a special sompling tube into the
undisturbed soils at the bottom of the boring, at frequent intervals below the ground surface.
The sampling tube consists of a steel barrel 3.0 inches cutside diometer, with a special cut-
ting tip on one end and a double boll valve on the other, and with a lining of twelve thin
brass rings, each Ene inch long by 2.42 inches inside diameter. The sampler, connected to a
twelve inch long waste barrel, is either pushed or driven approximately 18 inches into the soil
and a six inch section of the center portion of the sample is taken fcr laboratory tests, the soil
being still confined in the brass rings, after extraction from the sampler tube. The samples are
taken to the laboratory in close fitting waterproof containers in ader to retain the field mois-
ture until completion of the tests. The driving energy is calculated OS the overage energy in
foot-kips required to force the sampling tube through one foot of soil at the depth at which the
sample is obtained.
Shear Tests
The shear tests are run using a direct shear machine of the stroin control type in which
the rote of deformation is oppraximotely 0.05 inch per minute. The machine is so designed that
the tests are made without removing the samples from the brass liner rings in which they ore se-
cured. Each sample is sheared under a normal load equivalent to the weight of the soil above the
point of sampling. In some instances, samples ore sheared under various normal loads in ader to
obtain the internal angle of friction and cohesion. Where considered necessary, samples ore
saturated and drained before shearing in order to simulate extreme field moisture conditions.
Consolidation Tests
The apparatus used for the cJnsolidoticn tests is designee ,;eive one of the one inch
high rings of soil as it comes from the iietd. Loads are opplied in ,b.erol increments to the upper
surface of the test specimen ond the resulting deformations are recorded at selected time intervals
for each increment. Generally, each increment of load is mointoined on the sample until the
rate of deformation is equal to or less than l/lOOCO inch per hour. Porous stones are placed in
contact with the top and bottom of each specimen to permit the ready addition or release of water.
Expansion Tests
One inch high samples confined in the brass rings ore permitted to air dry at 105°F fcr
at least 48 hours prior to placing into the expansion apparatus. A unit load d 500 pounds per
square foot is then applied to the upper porous stone in contact with the tcp of each sample.
Woter is permitted to contact both the top and bottom of each sample through porous stones.
Continuous observations are made until downward movement stops. The dial reading is recorded
and expansion is recorded until the rate of upward movement is less than l/10000 inch per hour.

The borings were drilled to depths of 10 to 49 feet below the existing ground surface. The
drilling WQS accomplished to the ground water level with a 24 inch diameter bucket. At this
point water and drilirr’s mud was addud inside the boring. A greater hydraulic head was
mointained inside each boring as the drilling progressed below the water toble, in order to
prevent the coving of the sides of the hole. Drilling then proceeded with on 18 inch
diameter bucket to the depths of exploration. This method of drilling permits the visual exam-
ination of each bucket of soil as it is removed from the boring. A cwtinuous log of the soils
encountered in the borings wos recorded ot the time of drilling and is shown in detail on
Drawing Nor2 to 21, inclusive, each entitled, “Summary Sheet. ‘I

The general procedures used for the laboratory tests are described briefly in
Appendix B.
In addition to the above laboratory tests, compaction tests were performed on some of
the representative samples of the upper soils to establish compaction criteria. The soils were
tested according to a modified A.A. S.H.O. T99-49 method of compaction which uses 26 blows
of a 10 pound hammer dropping 18 inches on each of 3 layers in a 4 inch diameter 1/30th cubic
foot mold. The results of the tests are presented as follows:

California Bearing Ratio tests were also performed on representative samples of the upper
solls from Borings 10 and 11 as requested. The tests were performed in accordance with Section 6
of the Standard Specifications of the Division of tiighways, State of California, dated January,
1949. The test results were presented in a letter dated April 23, 1963 and are repeated in

Natural alluvial slightly silty sandy sails were encountered below the surface at
Borings 9, 16, 17 ond 18. These ore underloin by medium soft to very firm layers of clayey
sand, loose sand, soft sandy silt, clayey silt, ond silty clay to the depths of exploration.

General Conclusions
It is concluded from the findings in the test borings that two major types of soil conditions
exist on the site. One is the condition where the existing fill was found to vary to from 62 to 95
percent of maximum dry density and was underlain by relatively compressible silty clays, clay,
etc. If two story structures were supported on these upper soils where this condition exists, it is
estimated from the lood consolidation test data that total settlements up to several inches could
occur. It is therefore recommended that foundations placed in the orea where this condition
exists be designed to distribute the structural loads into the deeper soils by shear along the length
of driven piles. The other condition is where either natural alluvial soils are exposed on the
surface or were encountered within 2.1 feet below the existing ground surface. In these areas,
conventional type footings may be used for the support of the proposed houses provided the
applied unit load does not exceed 1000 pounds per square foot.
It is understood that all houses are to be placed 30 feet or more inside the rear property
lines that border the channel.
The areaswhere the two types of conditions were encountered in this investigation are
presented in tabular form on the following page together with the types of foundations and
minimum depth footings.

Due to the fact that only 18 Borings have been drilled in 57 lots,* it is difficult to de-
termine the exact location where Condition I changes to Condition II. However, after review-
ing all available data, including the original contours shown on the “Groding Plan of Shelter
Cove in the City of Carl&ad” prepared by Roy L. Klemo, Engineers, Inc., it is concluded that
-
the lots could be grouped as follows:
- Condition I Condiriar .!
lots 15 to 34, inclusive - Redr l/2 of Lots 47 to 59, inclusive
Lots ,35 to 46, inclusive
Front l/2 of Lots 47 to 59, inclusive
Lots 60 to 71 r inclusive
- It may be possible that once the plot plan for each house is available on Lots 60 to 66,
inclusive, and the type of structure and loads are known that additional test borings on the front -
‘i/2 of these lots may disclose conditions favorable for the use of shallow footings in place of
- Yriven piles.
* Lots 1 to 14, inclusive, Lot 72 and Lot 73 are not grouped in either category.

Recommendations for Driven Piles
The allowable supporting capacities for several types of driven piles have been deter-
mined. These supporting capacities are based on the shear strength of the soils in contact -
with the piles and include a factor of safety of 2.0.
,- Drawing No. A, entitled “Pile Capacities Law Driving Resistance Area”, is for use in
estimating pile lengths in those areas where soft soils exist to the full depth of exploration as -
at Borings 1, 2, and 3 or to nearly the depth of exploration as at Boring 4.
-
Drawing No. B, entitled “Pile Capacities, Higher Driving Resistance Areas”, are for
- use in estimating pile lengths in all other areas requiring driven piles such as at Barings 5, 6,
7, 8, 12, 13 and 14.
-
Where piles ore to be driven closer than 8 diameters, center to center, it is recom-
- mended that their supporting capacities be reduced to allow for the overlapping of lbading zones
between adiacent piles. A suitable eff iciency formula for this condition is presented as follows:
-
E= 1-D
c
m(n-1) + n(m-1) +fi(m-I) (n-l)
W Smn 1 -
Where E = Efficiency = Bearing capacity of pile in group
Bearing capacity of isolated pile
- D = Diameter of pile in feet
-
S = Space in between piles center to centcr in feet
m= number of rows
n = number of piles per row
.-
-
Where the piles are driven into the relatively dense sand stratum as encountered
below a depth of 27 feet at Boring 7, each pile may be stopped before its total design
length shown an Drawing No. B is reached, provided the driving resistance builds up to
a point where the supporting capacity of the pile exceeds that given by the modified
BENTON ENQINEERINO. ,NC.

To apply a factor of safety of 4.0 to the above formula, the allowable load per pile
should equal R .

The estimated total settlement for a single pile lwded ta the design capacities indi-
cated on Drawing Nos. A and B is estimated to be less than l/4 inch.
Several types of driven piles ore presented on Drawing Nos. A and B. These include
70# per yard steel rail piles, 8.62 inch 0. D. and 10.75 inch 0. D. pipe piles and 8 inch
-
--
diameter tip timber piles that are tapered 1 inch in 10 feet. Other types of piles may also
be used and their supporting capacities may be computed to be directly proportioned to the
surface area in contact with the supporting soils.
If timber piles are used, it is recommended that these be press.;re treated with creosote
- in order to increase their life expectancy.
- The “Structural Engineers of San Diego” group have recommended that the total allow-
able axial loads applied at the top of steel roil piles should not exceed 17 kips on a iU# per
yard rail. If a 90# per yard rail was used, the total axial load should not exceed 25 kips.
BENTON SNGINEERINQ. INC.

These values are based on the assumption that the pile is laterally fixed IO feet below the adia-
.- cent ground surface. The axes of adjacent piles are to be driven normal to each other. If
splices in the steel roil piles ore found to be necessary, these should be in occcrdance with the
A. S.C.E. Splices presented on page 131 of the “American Institute of Steel Construction Manual”
except that high strength bolts, properly torqued should be used and the ends of the roil pile
section should be butted. -
Recommendations for Shallow Footings
In those areas where Conditions II exists, it is recommended that all footings be placed
at least one foot into undisturbed natural silty sand or clayey sand soils.
Conventional continuous wall and spread type footings may be used in all areas of the
-
-
,-.
lots excavated below the original ground surface. However, in order to reduce the possibility
of differential settlements in the areas where some fill exists, such as toward the middle of Lots
47, 48 and 49, it is recommended that all structural laads be distributed on continuous wall
footings deepened one foot below the fill and designed to include.at least one No. 4 contin-
- uous steel reinforcing bar placed at 3 inches above the bottom of the footing and another No. 4
continuous steel reinforcing bar at I l/2 inches below the top of the stem wall of the footing.
It is recommended that careful inspection of each footing excavation be made under
- each house in order to verify that the footings are founded in uniform notural sail conditions
throughout. -
It is concluded from the load-consolidation test data that continuous wall footings
- founded one foot into the undisturbed silty sand and clayey sand soils as recommended ond
-. loaded to a maximum of 2030 pounds per lineal foot on a 2 feet wide footing will be subject to
estimated total settlements varying between l/4 and l/2 inch.
-

First Floor Support
- ln areas where driven piles ore required, it is recommended that the first floor be
structurally supported on driven piles. Therefore, it is likely that wood framed floor systems
would be more economical to use in these areas than the heavier reinforced concrete floor
- slobs.
In areas where conventional footing s moy be founded at shallow depths, then either -
concrete floor slabs placed on grade or wood fromed floor systems may be used.
