The bridge is located on Poinsettia Lane between Carlsbad Boulevard on the west and Avenida Encinas on the east. I .The existing bridge is a prestressed concrete, 3-span structure 142.2 feet long and 44.7 feet wide. It carries 2 traffic lanes, a bicycle lane and a sidewalk. Approach embankments were constructed originally across theentire Poinsettia Lane right-of-way and will accommodate abutments for the I new construction. It is understood that the existing bridge will be widened. The final configuration will carry 4, 12-foot wide traffic lanes; 2, bicycle lanes between 5 and 8 feet in width; 2, 5-foot wide I sidewalks and a raised center median. The existing overhead configuration was achieved by placing about 22 to 35 feet of fill at the I abutments. Between 2 and 4 feet of fill were placed along the railroad tracks, probably part of the original railroad construction. The fill at the abutments is underlain by terrace deposits which in turn are underlain by Santiago Formation. A 5-foot-thick layer of colluvium overlies the terrace I deposits at the location of boring B-I along the railroad tracks. The fill consists of silty sand. The terrace deposits are comprised of medium dense to dense clayey and silty sandstones and sandy claystones. The underlying Santiago Formation consists of a very dense or hard silty sandstone I and clayey siltstone.. Groundwater was encountered at depths of about 18 to more than 50 feet below the ground I surface, corresponding to an elevation as high as about 30 feet. above sea level. Foundation plans have not been finalized. Due to the presence of deep fills at the abutments, and I relatively compressible fill and colluvium at bent locations, deep foundations are considered most appropriate for support of the widening. Recommendations for Class 45 and Class 70 piles are contained in this report. Recommendations for alternative types of piles can be provided when I foundation plans are finalized. I .The regional seismicity is not unique compared to the rest of southern California. A peak horizontal bedrock acceleration of 0.5g canbe used in design. The depth to rock-like material is between 10 and 80 feet. I The fill soils and formational materials at the overhead represent a corrosive environment with respect to buried metal and concrete. Concrete for structural elements in contact with the ground I should incorporate Type II portland cement in the mix. No new fill will be placed for the widened structure. No special settlement period is needed. I S - AG RA I .

The bridge is located on Poinsettia Lane between Carlsbad Boulevard on the west and I . Avenida Encinas on the east. (Figure 1) This investigation was conducted in general conformance with the scope of work presented in AGRA's proposal dated October 29, 1998. 1.2 PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The existing bridge is a prestressed concrete, 3-span structure 142.2 feet long and 44.7 feet wide. I It carries 2 traffic lanes, a bicycle lane and a sidewalk. Approach embankments were constructed originally across the entire Poinsettia Lane right-of-way and will accommodate abutments for the new construction. It is understood that the existing bridge will be widened. The final configuration I will carry 4, 12-foot wide traffic lanes; 2,-bicycle lanes between 5 and 8 feet in width; 2, 5-foot wide sidewalks and a raised center median. . I 1.3 SCOPE OF WORK . Initially, AEE made a site reconnaissance and reviewed published geologic and seismicity data as well as data from similar projects in the area. The structure foundation investigation included subsurface exploration, soil sampling, laboratory testing, engineering analyses and consultation with designers. Laboratory tests were performed to evaluate selected engineering, properties and to provide a basis for geótechnical design recommendations. The data collected were analyzed to develop conclusions and recommendations regarding: U 1. Types, locations and engineering characteristics of foundation materials. I 2. Engineering seismology of the project area, including liquefaction potential. Geotechnical factors potentially affecting the design of the proposed structure, I ' including settlement and groundwater. .

The locations of the borings are shown on Figure 2. U Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using a 2.5-inch I.D. sampler driven by a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. Standard penetration tests were performed using. a 1.4-inch I.D. I sampler driven by a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches in general conformance with ASTM 0 1586. Disturbed samples were obtained from the standard penetration sampler. I . The drilling andsampling operations were performed under the supervision of an AGRA geologist who also logged the borings and obtained the samples for examination and laboratory testing. The logs of the test borings are contained in Appendix A. Soils are classified according to the Unified I Soil Classification System described in Appendix A. Rock is described according to its physical characteristics. . . . I Existing groundwater conditions were noted during drilling. Upon completion of the field exploration program, the borings were backfi!led.

Remaining test results and brief descriptions of the test procedures are contained in Appendix B. 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS 3.1 SURFACE CONDITIONS The Poinsettia Lane Overhead spans the San Diego Northern Railroad right-of-way between deep abutment fills on both the east and west ends. The fills were placed initially to accommodate future widening and extend beyond the current traveled way. Existing fill slopes range from about 1:1-% (vertical: horizontal) to 1:1 where the slopes are paved in front of the abutments: Minor amounts of fill have been placed along the railroad tracks. Surface vegetation consists of sparse grass and weeds. 3.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS I The existing overhead configuration was achieved by placing about 22 to 35 feet of fill at the abutments. Between 2 and 4 feet of fill were placed along the railroad tracks, probably part of the original railroad construction. The fill at the abutments is underlain by terrace deposits which in I turn are underlain by Santiago Formation. The terrace deposits extend to depths of 37 to 44 feet. The Santiago Formation continues to the maximum depth explored, 66.3 feet. I A 5-foot-thick layer of colluvium overlies the terrace deposits at the location of boring B-i along the railroad tracks. The top of the terrace depots was encountered at.depths of 4 to 7 feet along the railroad tracks. The top of the Santiago Formation at bent locations is at depths of 25 to 31 1 feet below the ground surface. The fill consists of silty sand. The terrace deposits are composed of medium dense to dense 1 clayey and silty sandstones and sandy claystones. The underlying Santiago Formation consists of a very dense or hard silty sandstone and clayey siltstone.

Groundwater levels can rise following periods of rainfall and during the wet. season. 3.3 SEISMOLOGY AND GEOLOGIC HAZARDS 3.3.1 General Southern California is known to be seismically active, and much geologic and seismologic evidence of earthquake activity is available. The engineering seismology study for this project included review of regional and local faulting, the general tectonic regime, and existing historic data. 3.3.2 Regional Faulting Earthquakes within about 60 miles of the site are capable of generating ground shaking of engineering significance to the structure. The site is located within the regional influence of several fault systems that are classified as active or potentially active. Figure 3 shows the proximity of the project to these faults. The most significant fault to the design of the project is the Newport- Inglewood-Rose Canyon/East Fault, about 5 miles to the west. The estimated peak acceleration during the maximum credible earthquake on this fault is estimated to be 0.59. 3.3.3 Local Faulting The project site is not located within a currently established Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Study Zone. Consequently, trenching to locate active fault traces is not mandated. Surface fault rupture at the site during the design life of the structure is considered unlikely. However, the area is vulnerable to strong, earthquake-induced ground shaking during the design life of the project. 3.3.4 Liquefaction Liquefaction can occur when loose, granular soils below the water table are subjected to vibratory motions such as those induced by earthquakes. The vibrations cause a rise in the pore water pressure. If the pressure rises high enough, the sand can lose strength and behave as a fluid. Liquefaction can result in substantial settlements or other disruptions at the ground surface. Dense formational materials were encountered at relatively shallow depths in all the borings, and groundwater levels are relatively deep. Therefore, the potential for liquefaction is considered slight. IS AG RA ENGINEERING GIGLOBALSOLUTIONS Recycled Paper I I I i 1116. - SI . \ N __ __ __ __ /•\\ __ __ __ N - N 60 miles 33.

All grading should be performed in conformance with Sections 300-3 and 300-4 of the "Gréenbook" Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, latest edition. Ponding orjetting of unclassified fill and structure backfill I should not be permitted. All fill and backfill materials should be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction based on the ASTM.D 1557 laboratory test method (Section 211-2.1). The upper 3' feet of fill or backf ill ,beneath pavement structural sections-should be compacted to at least 95% 1 ' relative compaction. Fill slopes probably will be composed of granular soils which are susceptible to surface erosion. I Slope paving should be incorporated where 1:1Y2 slopes are used. Consideration should be given to the use of jute mesh or other surface treatments to those slopes not being paved to minimize soil transport by run-off. All roadway drainage should be directed to appropriate collection and I discharge facilities so that run-off does not flow over the tops of slopes. i 4.1.2 Settlements Only minor fills will be placed for final grading, and ground surface settlements are expected to I be minimal. Settlements should be complete shortly after placement of the fill. No special settlement period is necessary. 4.1.3 Flexible Pavement Structural Section Poinsettia Lane has been assigned a Traffic Index (TI) of 85 by the City of Carlsbad. 'A laboratory R-value test on a sample of existing fill material from the roadway resulted in a measured R-value of 68. Based on a maximum design value of 50 for conservatism, calculations in accordance with Caltrans procedures indicate that the following pavement section corresponding to a TI of 8.5 is appropriate: I ('AGRA ' ENGINEERING GLOBAL SOLUTIONS Recycled Paper Dokken Engineering Job No. 9-252-102500 Structure Foundation Report May 25, 1999 (revised July 12, 1999) Poinsettia Lane Overhead Widening Page (9) Pavemeht Component Asphalt Concrete Surface Course (AC) Aggregate Base Course (Class 2 AB) 4.2 BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS Thickness (inches) 5 644 4.2.1 General It is understood that the existing overhead structure is supported on driven piles. A potential for significant settlement exists if the new structure is supported on shallow foundations in existing fill. Cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles can be considered for support of the widening. However, caving occurred during drilling of the test borings, and groundwater levels are within anticipated pile depths. Therefore, driven piles, appear most appropriate for foundation support. 4.2.2 Deep Foundations 4.2.2.1 Foundation Capacity and Settlement Driven piles will develop support by friction along the sides of the piles in the dense and hard formational materials at depth. Pile tip elevations for Class 45 piles at abutments and Class 70 piles at abutments and bents are presented in Table 1. Ultimate uplift capacities of the piles are also shown in Table 1. Actual uplift capacity for design may be limited by structural considerations If pile spacing is at least 3 times the maximum dimension of the pile, no reduction in axial capacity for group effects is considered necessary.

For practical purposes, final set. should equal or exceed that required for the recommended allowable load capacity based on "Greenbook" Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction Section 305-1.5. If specified tip elevation is reached without satisfying the Greenbook formula, pile driving should continue until final set is attained. Piles which encounter practical driving refusal above the specified tip elevation may be acceptable, depending on pile and hammer behavior during driving. The geotechnical engineer should observe pile driving and evaluate each pile on a case-bycase basis. It is recommended that a pile hammerwhich develops a minimum energy of 40,000 foot-pounds per blow be used. Drilling in the terrace deposits for pile installation at the abutments and bents does not appear needed unless cobbles or extensive gravel lenses are encountered. Calculations indicate that the I piles will have to be driven 10 to 14 feet into Santiago Formation at the bents in order to develop required vertical capacities. Drilling likely will be needed to advance the piles to specified tip elevations at the bents. Drilled holes in the Santiago Formation should not have diameters larger I than the minimum pile dimension and should not extend closer than. 5 feet to specified tip elevations. I (AGRA . .

I 4.2.4 Seismic Design Criteria As discussed in Section 3.3.5, a peak horizontal bedrock acceleration of 0.5g should be, used for this site. For design purposes, the depth to rock-like material can be considered to be 10 to 80 I feet. . 4.2.5 Corrosion Laboratory test results indicate that the soils underlying the site form a slightly to moderately corrosive environment with respect to steel and reinforced concrete. Type II portland cement is recommended for use in concrete in contact with the ground. Adequate concrete cover over reinforcing steel should be provided in accordance with good construction practices and design standards. 5.0 CLOSURE 5.1 GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW The foundation and earthwork plans and pertinent sections of the project specifications should be reviewed by the geotechnical engineer to evaluate conformance with the intent of the conclusions I and recommendations contained in this report.

A brief description of each type of test is presented below. Results are given on the following pages and on the boring logs in Appendix A. Moisture contents and dry densitieswere determined for numerous relatively undisturbed samples. Results are listed on the boring logs in Appendix A and the Log of Test Borings. In addition to the in-situ field tests, strength characteristics of the subsurface soils were determined in the laboratory by direct shear tests performed on 3 relatively undisturbed samples. Specimens were submerged and tested at 3 normal loads. All samples were tested in a 2.5-inch I.D. circular shear box, using a controlled displacement rate. The direct shear tests were performed in general accordance with ASTM 0 3080. Results are listed in Table B-I. Corrosivity .tests were performed on I sample. The pH and minimum electrical resistivity were determined in general accordance with California Test 643. Soluble Sulphate content was determined in accordance with California Test 417. Total chloride ion content was determined in accordance with California Test 532. Results are contained in Table B-2. The grain size distribution of I sample was determined in general accordance with ASTM 0 422. Results are plotted on Page B-3. An R-value test was performed in accordance with California Test 301 procedures. Results are discussed in the main text of the report. . Soil samples not tested are now stored in our laboratory for future reference and analysis, if I . needed. Unless notified to the contrary, all samples will be disposed of 30 days from the date of this report.
