Subject: Report of Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation
Proposed Kiko Residence
2649 Ocean Street
Carlsbad, California
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kiko:
In accordance with your request and per our proposal dated January 23, 2002,
Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. has performed an investigation of the soil and
geologic conditions at the subject site. The field work was performed on April 5,
2002. In addition, we previously issued a document titled, "Interim Report of Site
Conditions, 2649 Ocean Street, Carlsbad, California," dated April 17, 2002.
Based on a review of site plans prepared by WOLF Design*Build, it is our
understanding that the site is being developed to receive a single-family residence
with a 3-car attached garage, swimming pool, and associated improvements. The
residential structure is to be a maximum of two stories in height, with a mezzanine
and below-grade basement area. The structure will be constructed of standard-
type building materials utilizing slab-on-grade, with conventional continuous
foµndations and retaining wall foundation systems.
Our investigation revealed that the site is underlain by medium dense to dense
terrace and formational materials overlain by approximately 1 ½ to 4½ feet of loose
to medium dense fill soil. In order to reduce the effects of potential settlement, we
recommend that the upper 2 to 5 feet of surficial soils be removed and
recompacted to provide a more uniform, firm soil base for the proposed structure
and improvements. It is our understanding that the proposed construction of the
two basement levels will result in the removal of all of the existing loose surface
soils. In the seawall location, dense formational material was encountered at a
relatively shallow depth.

REPORT OF PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Proposed Kiko Residence
2649 Ocean Street
Carlsbad, California
JOB NO. 02-8201
The followrng -report presents the findings and recommendations of Geotechnical
Exploration, Inc. for the $Ubject project (for Vicin.ity Map, see Figure No. Ia).
I. SCOPE. OF WORK
It is our understanding, based on. communications with Mr. Wolfram Kalber, and a
review of conceptual site plans provided by Wolf Design*Build, that the site is
intended for the construction of a two-story, single-family residence (including an
attachecl 3-car g_arage, a lower-level basement area, a new seawall, a swimming
pool, and ass·ociated improvements (for Site Plan, see Figure No. Ib). It is our
understanding that the site will be graded to create a level building pad.
Construction of the basement levels. will result in installation of permanent shoring
and the removal of the loose surfidal soils. The residence will utilize standard slab-
on-grade foundations and retaining ,walls. With the above in mind, the scope of
work is briefly outlined as follows:
L Identify and classify the surface and subsurface soils in the area of the
proposed structures conformance With the Unified Soil Classification System
(refer to Figure No. II and Appendix A).
2. Review the site geology and make note of any faults or significant geologic
features which may affect the development of the site (refer to Appendix B).

3. Evaluate the cohdition of the existing fill soils, terrace deposits and
formational material.
4. Recommend site preparation procedures.
5. Recommend an allowable bearing pressure for the existing dense native soils
and any recompacted fill soils.
6. Evaluate the settlement potential of the existing bearing soils under the
proposed structural loads.
7. Provide preliminary foundation design information, including active and
passive earth pressures to be utilized in design of any foundation structures
and retaining walls.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION

A two-story residential structure with a partial basement currently exists on the
site. Presently, vegetation on the site consists primarily of mature trees, decorative
shrubbery and iceplant. -
The property slopes-gently to moderately down to the west from Ocean Street.
Approximate elevations across the site range from a high of 40 feet above mean
sea level (MSL) near the street, to approximately 11 feet MSL in the western
portion of the site. Survey information concerning actual elevations across the site
was obtained from a "topographical survey" map by San Diego Land Surveying and
Engineers, Inc., dated February 14, 2002.
III. FIELD INVESTIGATION
Three_ auger borings and five exploratory hahdpit excavations were placed on the
site in areas where the structure_, a new seawall, a swimming pool, and
improvements are to be located and where representative soil conditions were
expected (see Figure No. Ib). The soils encountered in the exploratory borings and
handpits were observed and logged by our field representative, and samples were
taken of the predor:ninant soils throughout the field operation. Exploratory boring
and handpit logs have been prepared on the basis of our observations and the
results have been summarized on Fig1,.Jre No. II. The predominant soils have been
classified in conformance with the Unified Soil Classification System (refer to
Appendix A).
In-place samples were obtained by driving c1 3-inch outside-diameter (O.D.) by 2-
3/8-inch inside-diameter (I.D.) split-tube sampler a distance of 12 inches. Also, the
Standard Penetration Test was performed by using a 140-pound weight falling 30

The number of blows req1,.1ired to drive the sampler the given distance was recorded
for use in density determination. The following chart provides an in-house
correlation between the number of blows and the. relative density of the soil for the .

expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the sample.
The relationship between the moisture and density of the soil gives qualitative
information regarcpng the soi.I stre.ngth characteristics and soil conditions to be
anticipated during any future grading operation.
The mechanical analysis was used to aid in the classification of the soils according
to the Unified Soil Classification System.
The expansion potential of soils is determined utilizing the Uniform Building Code
Test Method for Expansive Soils (UBC Standard ·No. 29-2). In accordance with the
UBC (Table 18-1-B), expansive soils are classified as follows:
Expansion Index Potential Expansion
0 to 20 Very low
21 to 50 Low
51 to 90 Medium
91 to 13.0 High
Above 130 Very high

Based on our experience with similar soils and our visual classification, it is our
opinion that the on-site soils have a very low expansion potential, with an
ex:pansion index of less than _20.
A direct shear test was performed on relatively undisturbed sample in order to
evaluate the soil strength and support capacity of the existing dense natural soils.
The shear test was performed with a constant strain rate direct shear machine. The
test specimen was. saturated and then sheared under various normal loads at a slow
rate to allow for drainage of the sample.
Based on laboratory test data, our observations of the primary soil types on the
project, ?3nd our previous experience with laboratory testing of similar soils in this
area of the County of San Diego, our Geotechnical Engineer has assigned
conservative values for frictior:i angle, coeffici.ent of friction, and cohesion to those
soils that will have. significant lateral support or bearing functions on the project.
The assigned values are presented in Figure No. III and have been utilized in
determining the recommended soil bearing capacity, as well as active and passive
earth pressure design criteria for retaining wall and-foundation design.
V. GENERAL GEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION
>
The San Diego County area is part of a seismically active region of California. It is
on the eastern boundary -of the Southern California Continental Borderland, part of
the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphie Province. This region is part of a broad tectonic
beundary between the North American and Pacific Plates. The actual plate
boundary is characterized by a complex system of active, major, right-lateral strike-
slip faults, trending northwest/southeast. This fault system extends eastward to
the San Andreas Fault (approximately 70 miles from Oceanside) and westward to

the S_an Clemente Fault (approximately 50 miles off.,.shore from Oceanside) (Berger
and Sch.ug, 1991).
During recent history, the San Diego County area has been relatively quiet
seismically. No fault ruptures or major earthquakes have been experienced in
historic time within the San Diego area. Since earthquakes have been recorded by
instruments (since the 1930s}, the San Diego County area has experienced
scattered seismic events with Richter magnitudes generally less than 4.0. During
June 1985, a series of small earthquakes occurred. beneath San Diego Bay; three of
these earthquakes had recorded magnitudes of 4.o· to 4.2. In addition, the
Oceanside earthquake of July 13, 1986, located approximately 26 miles offshore of
the City of Oceanside, resulted in a magnitude of 5.3 (Hauksson, 1988).
In California, major earthquakes can generally be correlated with movement on
active faults. As defined by the California Division of Mines and Geology (Hart,
E.W., 1980), an "active" fault is one that has had ground surface displacement
within Holocene time (about the last 11,000 years). Additionally, faults along which
_ major historical earthquakes have occurred (about the last 210 years in California)
are also considered to be active (Association of Engineering Geologist, 1973). The
California Division of Mines and Geology defines a "potentially active" fault as one
that has had ground surface displacement during Quaternary time, that is, during
the past 11,000 to 1.6 million years (Hart, E.W., 1980).
VI. SITE-SPECIFIC GEOLOGIC DESCRIPTION
A geologic investigation of the site was conducted to evaluate the on-site geology
. and potential of geologic hazards that might affect the site. Our investigation drew

upon information gathered from published and unpublished geologic maps and
reports, as well as the results of our recent exploratory excavations.
The subject site is located within a residential area along the west side of Ocean
Street, along the edge of the coastal bluff in the City bf Carlsbad. The subject site
is located in an area with moderate to high geologic risk (as identified by Map 12b
of the "Shoreline Erosion Ass~ssment and Atlas of the San Diego Region --Volume
II" [California Department of Boating and Waterways and San Diego Association of
Governments]) due to conditions identified as "unprotected, unfavorable ge_ology,
inadequate setback and inadequate design." No faults were shown to cross the
site. The Rose Canyon Fault is located _approximately 5 miles west of the subject
site.
Our field investigation and review of pertinent geologic maps and reports indicate
that the site is underlain by a limited amount of artificial fill soils, marine terrace
deposits and the Santiago Formation.
Artificial Fill (Oaf): A limited amount of fill (approximately 1 ½ to 4 feet) was
encountered on the surface mostly in the western portion of the site. The fill is
loose to medium dense and consists of red-browri to gray-brown, silty, fine to
medium sand with roots and sandstone rock fr~gments. The fills are considered to
have a very low expansion potential. Refer to Figure Nos. II and III for details.
Beach Deposits (Qb): The beach deposits encountered at the site consist of loose
to medium dense, dry to damp, light gray, fine to medium sand with lenses of
cobble 1 to 6 inches in diameter. These materials range from 4 to 4½ feet in
thickness and were encountered at the western portion of the site. These soils are

considered to have a negligible expansion potential. Refer to Figure Nos. II and III
for details.
Marine-Terrace Deposits (Qt): The major portion of the site is underlain by
Pleistocene-age marine-terrace deposits. These materials are medium dense to
dense and consist of tan-gray to dark gray and red-brown, fine-to medium-grained
and fine-to coarse-grained sand. These materials are poorly to moderately well
cemented and susceptible to some caving. Due to the variable degree of
cementation in the terrace materials, any temporary slopes should be cut back to a
safe gradient. Some of the terrace material_s are relatively low density, but have a
low consolidation potential. The terrace deposits are considered to have a very low
expansion potential.
A review of several geologic maps for this area indicates that the marine-terrace
.deposits occur as thin, very gently dipping, mantle-like deposits within 2 to 3 miles
of the coast. One of the older maps (Wilson, 1972) shows these deposits as part of
the Lindavista Formation. However, a more recent map (Weber, 1982) includes
these deposits as part of the Bay Point Formation. Review of the Shoreline Erosion
Assessment report also indicates that these deposits are mapped as part of the Bay
Point Formation.
Santiago Formation (Tsb): The site is mapped as being underlain by the l:ocene-
age Santiago Formation (Weber, 1982). The encountered Santiago Formation
ti.
consists primarily of dense, well-cemented, tan-gray and green, silty fine sahd. The
Santiago Formation is considered_ to have low expansion and consolidation potential.
Refer to Figure Nos. II and III for details.

Page 10
lt is our opinion that ~ known "active" fau·1t presents the greatest seismic risk to the
subject site during the· lifetime of the proposed structures. To date, the nearest
known "active" faults to the subject site are the northwest-trending Rose Canyon
Fault, Coronado Bank Fault and the Elsinore Fault.
Rose Canvo_n Fault: The Rose Canyon Fault Zone (Mount Soledad and Rose Canyon
Faults), located approximately 5 miles west of the subject site, is mapped trending
north-south from Oceanside to downtown San Diego, from where it appears to head
southward ·into San Diego Bay, through Coronado and offshore. The Rose Canyon
Fault Zone is. considered to be a complex zone of onshore and offshore, en echelon
strike slip, oblique reverse, ~nd obli.que normal faults. The Rose Canyon Fault is
considered to be capable of causing a 7.5-magnitude earthquake and considered
microseismically active, although no significant recent earthquake is known to have
occurred on the fault. Investigative work on faults (believed to be part of the Rose
Canyon Fault Zone) at the Police Administration and Technical Center in downtown
San Diego and at the SDG&E facility in Rose Canyon, has encountered offsets in
Holocene (geologically recent) sediments. These findings have been accepted as
confirmed Holoc;:ene displacement on the Rose Canyon Fault and this previously
classified "potentially active" fault has now been upgraded to an "active" fault as of
November 1991 (California Division of Mines and Geology --Fault Rupture Hazard
Zones in California, 1994). . '
Coronado Bank Fault: The Coronado Bank Fault is located approximately 20 miles
southwest of the site. Evidence for this fault is based upon geophysical data

(acoustic profiles) and the general alignment of epicenters of recorded seismic
activity (Greene, 1979). An earthqu?lke of 5.3 magnitude, recorded July-13, 1986,
is known to hc;1ve been centered on the fault or within the Coronado Bank Fault
Zone. Although this fault is considered active, due to the seismicity within the fault
zone, · it is significantly less active seismically than the Elsinore Fault (Hileman,
1973). It is postulated that the Coronado Bank Fault is capable of generating a 7.0-
magnitude earthquake and is of great interest due to its close proximity to the
greater San Diego metropolitan area.
Elsinore Fault: The Elsinore Fault is located approximately 24 miles northeast of the
site. The Elsinore Fault extends approximately 200 km (125 miles) from the
Mexican border to the northern end of the Santa Ana Mountains. The Elsinore Fault
zone is a 1-to 4-mile-wide, northwest-southeast-trending zone of discontinuous
.and en echelon faults extending through portions of Orange, Riverside, San Diego,
and Imperial Counties. Individual faults within the Elsinore Fault Zone range from
less than 1 mile to 16 miles in length. The trend, length and geomorphic
expression of the Elsinore Fault Zone identified it as being a part of the highly active
San Andreas ·Fault system.
Like the other faults in the San Andreas system, the Elsinore Fault is a transverse
fault showing predominantly right-lateral movement. . According to Hart, et al. _., '
(1979), this movement averages less than 1 centimeter per year. Along most of its
length, the Elsinore Fault Zone is marked by a bold topographic expression
consisting of linearly aligned ridges, swales and hallows. Faulted Holocene alluvial
deposits (believed to be less than 11,000 years old) found along several segments
of the fault zone suggest that at least part of the zone is currently active.

-Page 12
Although the Elsinore Fault Zone belongs to the San Andreas set of active,
northwest-trending, right-slip faults in the southern California area (Crowell, 1962),
it has not been the site of a major earthquake in historic time, other than a 6.0-
magnitude quake near the town of Elsinore in 1910 (Richter,. 1958; Toppozada and
Parke, 1982). However, based on ·length and evidence of late-Pleistocene or
Holocene displacement, Greensfelder (1974) has estimated that the Elsinore Fault
Zone is reasonably capable of generating an earthquake with a magnitude as large
as 7.5. Recent study and logging of exposures in trenches in Glen Ivy Marsh across
the Glen Ivy North Fault (a strand of the Elsinore Fault Zone between Corona and
Lake Elsinore), suggest a maximum earthquake recurrence interval of 300 years,
and when combined with previous estimates of the long-term horizontal slip rate of
0.8 to 7 .. 0 mm/year, suggest typical earthquake magnitudes of 6 to 7 (Rockwell,
1985).
B. Other Geologic Hazards
Ground Rupture: Ground rupture is characterized by bedrock slippa_ge along an
established fault and may result in displacement of the ground surface. For ground
rupture to occur along a fault, an earthquake usually exceeds magnitude 5.0. If a
5.0-magnitude earthquake were to take place on a local fault, an estimated surface-
rupture length 1 mile long could be expected (Greensfelder, 1974). Our
investigation indicates that the subject site is not directly on a known fault zone,
and, therefore, the risk of grouhd rupture at the site is considered remote.
Ground_ Shakin9: Structural damage caused by seismically induced ground shaking
is a detrimental effect dire-ctly related to faulting and earthquake activity. Ground
shaking is considered to be the greatest seismic hazard in San Diego County. The
intensity of ground shaking is dependent on the magnitude of the earthquake, the

distance from the earthquake, and local seismic condition.
Job No. 02-8201
Page 13
Earthquakes of
magnitude 5.0 Richter scale or, greater are generally associated with significant
damage.. It is our opinion that the most serious damage to the site would be
caused by a large earthquake originating on the nearby Rose Canyon Fault Zone.
Aithough the chance of such an event is low, it could occur within the useful life of
the structures.. The anticipa~ed ground accelerations at the site from earthquakes
on faults within 100 miles of the site are provided in Tables 1 and 2, Appendix B.
Liquefaction: The liquefaction of saturated sands during earthquakes can result in
major damage to buildings. Liquefaction is the process in which soils are
transformed into a dense fluid that will flow as a liquid when unconfined. It occurs
principally in loose, saturated sands and silts when they are shaken by an
earthquake of sufficient magnitude. On this site, the risk of liquefaction of
foundation material due to seismic shaking is considered to be remote due to the
density of the natural-ground material. No loss ·of soil strength is anticipated to
occur at the site due to the design seismic event.
Landslides: According to our geologic reconnaissance and a review of the geologic
map (Santa Ana Sheet -1965)· and aerial photographs (4-11-53, AXN-SM-99 and
100), there are no known or suspected ancient landslides located on the site.
Tsunami: The site is located at an elevation between 11 feet above mean sea level
(MSL) and 40 feet MSL immediately east of the active beach. Based upon historical
information on tsunami activity in Southern California, it is our opinion that the risk
to the site from a tsunami is minimal. In addition, since a vertical concrete seawall
is proposed, adequate protection should be provided.

Groundwater: No groundwater problems were encountered during the course of
our field investigation and we do not expect significant problems to develop in the
future --if the property is developed as planned and proper drainage is provided.
It should be kept in mind, however, -that the proposed grading operations may
change surface drainage patterns and/or reduce permeabilities due to the
densification of compacteo soils. Changes of surface and subsurface hydrologic
conditions,. plus irrigation of landscaping or significant increases in rainfall, may
result in the appearance of surface or near-surface water at locations where none
existed previously.
Positive drainage measures should be constructed to intercept and divert all surface
runoff waters away from the structure and improvements planned for the site. The
damage from such water is expected to be minor and cosmetic in nature, if good
positive drainage is implemented and maintained at"the completion of construction.
Corrective action should be taken on a site-specific basis, if and when it becomes
necessary.
C. Bluff Edge Evaluation
As part of our geotechnical investigation, we excavated five test pits to help locate
the existing coastal terrace bluff edge. As indicated on the geologic cross-section
A-A', we determined that the bluff edge is located along contour elevation 18 feet
above mean sea level (MSL). This point on the site is where the marine terrace
deposits slope steeply down to the west and come in contact with the relatively flat
surface of beach sand deposits. The bluff face is currently covered with iceplant, so
it is not visible. We understand that the City of Carlsbad's preliminary assessment
determined the bluff edge to be at approximately elevation contour 30 feet above
MSL along the west side of the existing wood deck. However, our test pit at the 30-

over the terrace deposits.
D. Summary
It is our opinion that a .significant geologic hazard does not exist on th.e site. No
~vidence of faulting or landslide activity was encountered _during our investigation of
the site. The site is situated in a developed neighborhood of Carlsbad and in the
event that severe earth shaking does occur from major faulting within the area,
compliance with Uniform Building Code requirements for construction should help
reduce structural damage to a d(;!gree considered acceptable by the UBC.
From a geotechnical standpoint, our investigation indicates that the proposed
residence can be constructed at the site provided the recommendations in this
report are followed.
VIII. EARTHQUAKE RISK EVALUATION
Evaluation of earthquake risk requires that the effect of faulting on, and the mass
stability of, a site be evaluated utilizing the M10 seismic design event, i.e., an
earthquake event on an active fault with less than a 10 percent probability of being
exceeded in 50 years. Furth~r, sites are classified by USC 1997 Edition into "soil
profile types SA through SF." Soil profile types are defined by their shear velocities
where shear velocity is the speed at which shear waves move through the upper 30
meters (appr(?ximately 100 feet) of the ground. These are:

By utilizing an earthquake magnitude M10 for a seismic event on an active fault,
knowing the site class and ground type, a prediction of anticipated site ground
acceleration, g, from these events can be estimated. The subject site has been
assigned Classification "Sc,"
An estimation of the peak ground acceleration and the repeatable high ground
acceleration (RHGA) likely to occur at the project site by the known significant local
and regiona_l faults within 100 miles of the site is included in Appendix B. Also, a
listing of the known historic seismic events that have occurred within 100 miles of
the site at a magnitude of 5.0 or greater since the year 1800, and the probability of
exceeding the experienced ground accelerations in the future based upon the
historical record, is provided in Appendix B. Both tables generated from computer
programs EQ Fault and EQ Search by Thomas F. Blake (1989) utilizing a digitized
file of late-Quaternary California faults (EQ Fault) and a file listing of recorded
earthquakes (EQSearch). Estimations of site intensity are also provided in these
listings as Modified Mercalli Index values. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Index
follows the EQ Fault and EQ Search tables of Appendix B.
For earthquake resistcmt design, the Uniform Building Code requires that the design
earthquake acceleration correspond to the one produced by an event with a 10
percent probability of exceedance in 50 years, and that is 0.28g.

IX. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions and recommendgtions are based upon the practical field
·investigation conducted by our firm, and resulting laboratory tests, in conjunction
with our knowledge and experie171ce with the soils in this area of the City of
Carlsbad.
Our investigation revealed that the site is underlain by medium dense to dense
terrace and formational materials with approximately 1½ to 4½ feet of variable
density fill materials. The loose $Urface soils will not provide a stable soil base for
the proposed structure and assoc:iat~d improvements. As such, we recommend
that these _loose surface soils be removed and recompacted as part of the site
preparation prior to the addition of any prop9sed fill and/or structural
improvements. It is our understanding that the site will be cut down to create the
lower-level storage and basement areas. As such, the loose surface soils should be
removed during. the excavation process. Due to the poor cementation in the
terrace materials, temporary cut slopes may have to be laid back to a safe gradient.
Some of the deeper terrace materials may have some low in-place densities and
require additional removal. during the grading operation. The seawall location was
found to be underlain by dense formational materials at a relatively shallow depth.
Because of the depth of the basement Level and the proximity to the property line
improvements, it is very likely that shoring Will be required.
. A. Preparation of Soils· for Site Development
1. The existing structures and vegetation observed on the site should be
removed prior to the preparation of areas to receive new fill and/or structural
improvements. This includes any roots from trees and shrubbery that might

extend under the proposed structllres ·or improvements. Large roots have
been known to cause significant damage to foundations. All roots over 1/2-
inch in diameter shall be removed from soils to be recompacted. ·
:2. io provide a uniform soils base for the proposed structures and rigid
improvements (such as . the swimming pool, patios, walkways, decking,
driveway, etc.), the existing loose fill materia·ls across the site, should be
excavated to expose firm native soil, or as per the indications of our field
representative. Any other areas observed to include loose soils during
. grading shall be excavated to .expose firm native soil. The depth of removal
is expected to be approximately 2 to 4½ feet over most of the site. The
bottom of the excavation should be scarified to a depth of at least 12 inches,
watered to approximately optimum moisture content, and compacted to at
least 90 percent of Maximum Dry Density. The excavated fill materials to be
used as fill should be cleaned of· any debris and deleterious materials,
watered to approximate_ly optimum moisture content and compacted to at
least 90 percent of Maximum Dry Density, in accordance with ASTM D1557-
98 standards. Those arec;)s supporting proposed improvements or retaining
structures should be prepared in a like manner.
3. No uncontrolled fill soils should remain on the site after completion of any
future site work. In the event that temporary ramps or pads are constructed
of uncontrolled fill soils, the loose fill soils should be removed and/or
recompacted prior to completion of the grading operation.
4. Any buried objects, utility lines, abandoned irrigation lines, subsurface
disposal systems, etc., which might be discovered on the site during grading,

adjacent grade; and
"W" is the width of the footing (in feet).
This load-bearing value may be increased one-third for design loads that
include wind or seismic analysis. In fill soils, an increase of 500 psf in the
c1llowable bearing value may be allowed for every 1 foot of embedment and
for every additional 1 foot in width over the minimum dimensions indicated
above, up to a maximum of 5,000 psf. foundations in formational soils may
have an allowable bearing increase of 1,500 psf for each additional foot in
depth, and 750 psf for each additional foot in width. The maximum bearing
capacity shall not exceed. 6,000 psf.
The passive earth pressure of the dense natural-ground soils (to be used for
design of shallow foundations and footings to resist the lateral forces) shall
be based on an l;:quivalent Fluid Weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot.
This passive earth pressure shall only be considered valid for design if the
ground adjacent to the foundation structure is essentially level for a distance
of at least three times the total depth of the foundation and is comprised of
properly compacted fill within the depth of the foundation.
An aHowable Coefficient of Friction of 0.40 times the dead load may be used
between the bearing soils and c;:onc;rete foundations, walls, or floor slabs.

calculate the base shear needed for the design of the· residential structure.
The design criteria was obtained from the Uniform Building Code (1997
edition) based on the soil characteristics and distance to the closest fault.

10. Based upon our previous laboratory test results and our experience with the
soil types on the subject Site, the underlying properly compacted fill and/or
dense natural soils should experience a total settlement of less than 1 inch
and a differential settlement in the magnitude of approximately 1 inch, under
a structural static load within the allowable bearing capacity. The angular
rotation due to static differential settlement is anticipated to be less than
1/240.
11. Our experience indicates that for various reasons, footings and slabs
occasionally crack causing ceramic tiles and other brittle surfaces to become
damaged. Therefore, all footings and slabs should contain at least a nominal
amount of reinforcing steel to reduce the separation of cracks, should they
occur.

11.1 A minimum of steel for continuous footings should include at least four
No. 4 steel· bars continuous, with two bars near the bottom of the
footing and two bars near t~e top. For footings up to · 24 inches in
depth, the minimum reinforcement shall consist of four No. 5 bars.
11.2 If isolated square footings a_re to be used, they should contain, as a
mil'.limum, a grid of No. 4 steel bars on 12-inch centers, both ways,
with no ·less than three bars .each way.
11.3 Interior floor slabs on-grade on properly compacted soil should be a
minimum of 5 inches actual thickness and be reinforced with at least
No. 3 steel bars on 18-inch centers, in both directions, placed
midheight in the slab. Slabs should be underlain by a 3-inch-thick
layer of clean sand (S.E. = 30 or greater) overlying a vapor retardant
such as Vapor Shield (3-mil, high density, cross laminated) or
equivalent. Slab subgrade soil shall be properly moistened prior to
placement of the vapor retardant and pouring of concrete. It is
recommended that the moisture content of subgrade soil for slabs and
footings be checked within 48 hours prior to concrete placement.
Building slabs may be thicker and more heavily reinforced if the
alternative structural mat slabs are utilized. If this option is chosen,
the allowable bearing capacity for mat design may be 400 pci modulus
of subgrade reaction for soil settlement not exceeding ½-inch under
static loading. For ?I higher degree of protection against moisture-
relat~d problems, the basement level slab shall preferably be protected
by a waterproof membrane (such as Paraseal) placed as indicated by
the manufacturer. Paraseal membranes are usually placed on a gravel
bas layer.

For exterior slabs, we recommend the project Civil/Structural Engineer
incorporate isolation joints and sawcuts to at leclst one-fourth the thickness
of the slabs. The joints and cuts, if properly placed, should reduce the
potential for random exterior shrinkage cracking. In no case, however, shall
control jo1 nts be spaced farther than 15 feet apart. Re-entrant corners shall
also be. provided with control joints or additional steel reinforcing. Due to a
number of reasons (such as base preparation, construction techniques,
curing procedures, and normal shrinkage of concrete), some cracking of slabs
can still be expected. Control joints shall be placed within 12 hours after
concrete placement or as soon as the concrete sets and may be cut without
ag.gregate ravelling. Reinforced slabs on-grade shall have every other bar
interrupted 3 inches before crossing control joints for an effective weak plane
result. To prevent moisture infiltration, all exterior slab joints shall be sealed
with elastomeric seal material. The sealant shall be inspected every six
months anci be properly maintained.
Due to the proximity of the ocean, the structural engineer should consider
the use of concrete with_ Cement Type II and a water-cement ratio no higher
than 0.40 due to sea water chlorides.
For concrete pavement, we recommend that the compressive strength f'c be
at least 4,500 psi at 28 days of age and the slab thickness be not less than
5½ inches thick, with control joints no farther than 15 feet or the width of the
driveway, whichever is less. Driveway subgrade soils shall be properly
compacted and moisture conditioned before any base and/or concrete
placement.

NOTE: The project Civil/Structural Engineer shall review all reinforcing
schedules. The reinforcing minimums recommended herein are not to be
construed as structural designs, but merely as minimum safeguards to
reduce possible crack separations.
12. As a minimum for protection of on-,,site improvements, it is recommended
that all nonstructural concrete slabs (such as patios, walkways, etc.) be
underlain by at least 3 inches of clean sand, include No. 3 steel bars spaced
every 18 inches apart at the center of the slab, and contain adequate
isolation and control joints spaced no farther than twice the width of the
reinforced slab, not more than 15 feet apart, and also at re-entrant corners.
It should be noted that standard conc:rete improvements may not perform
well, due to the loose surficial soil condltions. As such, each improvement
should be designed to tolerate the on~site conditions. The performance of
on-site improvements can also be greatly affected by soil base preparation
and the quality of construction, and is therefore the responsibility of the
designer and the contractor installing the improvements. Moisture content
and verification of subgrade soils compaction for outside improvements is
also recommended. A representative of our firm shall check that within 48
hours prior to concrete pouring and before steel reinforcing placement.
c. Design Parameters for Proposed Seawall and Retaining Walls
bur investigation revealed that, at the location of the proposed seawall, the site is
underlain by dense formational materials with a surface layer of beach sand
deposits that typically range from -2 to 5 feet below the existing beach grade. This
loose surface soil will not provide a stable soil base for the proposed seawall. As
such, recommendations have been made to embed the seawall foundation into the

underlying formational materials. We also recommend that the fill/backfill soils
placed behind the seawall and patio/terrace area consist of beach/terrace sand-type
material.
13. The seawall foundation shall be embedded a minimum of 4 feet into dense
formational material. due to concern. for potential scouring by storm surf
action. This depth is approximately 3 feet above mean sea level (depending
on the beach sand thickness) and is expected to be approximately 14 fe'et
below the adjacent western patio/terrace area.
14. The recommended allowable load-bearing value (at a minimum depth of 4
feet into the dense native materials) is 3,500 pounds per square foot for a
minimum footing width of 4 feet. This load-bearing value may be utilized in
the design of the seawall foundation when founded a minimum of 4 feet into
the firm natural ground, measured from the bottom of the footing to the
low.est adjacent grade at the time of foundation construction. This load-
bearing value may be increased one-third for design loads that include wind
or seismic analysis. The soil bearing capacity may be increased 1,000 psf for
each additional foot of embedment over 4 feet, and 750 psf for each
additional foot in width over 4 feet. The total maximum soil end-bearing
capacity shall not exceed 6,000 psf.
All other proposed retaining walls to be constructed should be founded on firm
natural ground or properly compacted fflls. All retaining walls shall be designed
based·on the following soil design parameters:
15. The actjve earth pressure (to be utilized in the design of the proposed
seawall and other retaining walls, etc.) utilizing the on-site materials as

backfill should be based on an Equivalent Fluid Weight of 38 pounds per
cubic foot (for level backfill only). Any surcharge pressures applied within the
potential failure block shall also be added to the soil lateral pressures.
In the event that a retaining wall is surcharged by sloping backfill, the design
active earth pressure shall be based on the. appropriate Equivalent Fluid
Weight presented in the following table:
*To ·determine design active earth pressure for ratios intermediate to those
presented, interpolate between the stated values.
In the event that a retaining wall is to be designed for a restrained condition,
a uniform pressure equal to 9xH (nine times the total height of retained soil,
considered in pounds per square· foot) should be considered as acting
everywhere on the back of the wall in addition to the design Equivalent
Fluid Weight.
Any surcharge applied within the failure block behind the retaining wall shall
be considered in the wall design. For cantilever retaining walls, the lateral
load conversion factor is 0.32. For restrained retaining walls, the lateral load
conversion factor is 0.53.
16. The passive earth pressure of the encountered dense natural-ground soils or
properly compacted fill (to be used for the design of shallow footings) should
be based on an Equivalent Fll)id Weight of 300 pounds per cubic foot.

The passive earth pressure should only be considered valid for design if the
ground .adjacent to the foundation structure is essentially level for a distance
of at least three times the total depth of the foundation.
1.7. A Coefficient of Friction of 0.4.0 times the dead load may be used between
the bearing soils and concrete wall four:1dations.
18. Due to the possible buildup of-groundwater (derived primarily from rainfall
and irrigation)-, excess moisture is a common problem in below-grade
structures or behind proposed retaining walls. These problems are generally
in the form of water seepage through slabs and/or walls, mineral staining,
mildew growth ·and high humidity. In order to minimize the potential for
moisture-related problems to develop at the site, proper ventilation and
waterproofing must be provided for below-ground areas and the backfill side
of all structure retaining walls must be adequately waterproofed and drained.
Shot1ld water seeps be observed during grading, additional recommendations
will be provided by our firm, as warranted.
Proper waterproofing, protection board, subdrains and free-draining backwall
material such as gravel or geocomposite (Miradrain 6000 or equivalent) shall
be installed behind all retaining walls on the subject project. Geotechnical
Exploration, Inc. will assume no liability for damage to structures, which is
attributable to poor drainage. Subdrain shall be placed at least 12 inches
below the surface elevation being protected (interior slab). If the subdrain is
to be installed on top of the foundation heel, then the interior slab shall be at
least 12 inches above the footing toe.

D. Slopes
Job No. 02-8201
Page 28
19. The existing slopes on the site appear to be relatively stable. However, it is
our opinion that the new cut and fill slopes may be subject to future erosion
and surficial failure if left unprotected.
In order to reduce the risk of future slope stability problems, we recommend
that a program of proper landscapir,g and maintenance be effected as part of
development of this site.
20. The soils that occur within 5 feet of the face of fill slopes often possess poor
lateral stability and structures and other improvements (such as walls,
fences, patios, sidewalks, swimming pools, driveways, etc.) that are located
within 5 feet of the edge of any slopes could suffer differential movement as
a result of the poor lateral stability of these soils.
Conventional· shallow foundations and footings of. proposed structures, walls,
, etc., when founded 5 feet and farther away from the top of allowable slopes,
may be of standard design in conformance with the recommended load-
bearing value. If the proposed foundations. and footings are located closer
than 5 feet inside the top of allowable slopes, they shall be deepened to 1.5
feet below a line beginning at a point 5 feet horizontally inside the slopes and
projected outward and downward, parallel to the face of the slope (see Figure
No. IV) ..

E. Temporary Sloqes
Job No. 02-8201
Page 29
21. We anticipate that temporary slopes into the terrace material of
approximately 10 to 22 feet in height may be required during excavation of
.the lower-level living areas. Based on the results of our field investigation, it
is our opinion thc,3t the. following temporary-slope design criteria may be
considered in areas where the exc~vation slope top will be at least 18 feet
away from any existing structures:
The existing cemented formation materials may be cut vertical for the lower
5 feet and at a slope ration of 0. 75 horizontal to 1.0 vertical for the remaining
height (for an un~upported period not to exceed eight weeks). For the
basement areas, the cuts shall be from the heel of the foundation and extend
to at least 12 feet horizontally at the ground level. The basement wall
backfill shall consist of non-expansive soil.
Any plans for slopes in excess of the. assumed 22-foot maximum must be
presented to our office priot to grading to allow time for' review and specific
rec;ommendations, if warranted. Proper drainage away from the excavation
shall be provided at aH times. Soil. stockpiles shall not be placed within 6 feet
from the top of the cuts.
A representative of Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. must observe any
steep temporary slopes during excavation. In the event that soils and
formatJonal material comprising a slope are not as anticipated, any required
slope design changes would be presented at that time. If the temporary
slopes as recommended herein are not developed, then shoring will be
required.

.22. Where not superseded by specific recommendations presented in this report,
trenches, excavations and temporary slopes at the subject site shall be
constructed in accordance with Title 8, Construction Safety Orders, issued by
OSHA.
23. It is recommended that all compacted fill slopes and natural cut slopes be
planted with a·n erosion resistant plant, in conformance with the requirements
of the City of Carlsbad.
F. Floor Slab Vapor Transmission
24. Vapor moisture can cause some problems to moisture sensitive floors, some
floor sealers, or sensitive equipment in direct contact with the floor, in
addition to mildew and staining on slabs, walls and carpets.
25. The common practice in Southern California is to place vapor retarders made
of PVC, or of polyethylene. PVC retarders are made in thickness ranging
from 10-to 60-mil. Polyethylene retarders, called visqueen, range from 5-to
10-mil in thickness. The thicker the plastic, the stronger the resistance
against puncturing.
26, Although polyethylene (visqueen) products are most commonly used,
products such as Vaporshield possess much higher tensile strength and are
more specifically designed for and intended to retard moisture transmission
into concrete slabs. The use of Vaporshield or equivalent is h_ighly
recommended when a structure is intended for moisture-sensitive floor
coverings or uses.

27. The vapor retarders need to have joints ,lapped and sealed with mastic or
manufacturer's recommended tape for additional protection. To provide
some protection to the moisture retarder, a layer of at least 2 in'ches of dean
sand on top and 2 inches at the bottom shall also be provided. No heavy
equipment, stakes or other puncturing instruments shall be used on top of
the liner before or during concrete pl,acement. In actual practice, stakes are
often driven through the retarder material, equipment is dragged or rolled
across the retarder, overlapping or jointing is not properly implemented, etc.
All these construction deficiencies reduce the retarder's effectiveness.
The vapor retarders are not waterproof. They are intended to help prevent
or reduce capillary migration of vapor through the soil into the pores of
concrete slabs. Other waterproofing systems must supplement vapor
retarders if full waterproofing is desired. The owner should be consulted to
determine the specific level of protection required, especially for basement-
level areas.
G. Site Drainage Considerations
28. Adequate measures shall be taken to properly finish-grade the site after the
structures and other improvements are in place. Drainage waters from this
site and adjacent properties are to be directed away from foundations, floor
slabs, footings, and slopes, onto the natural drainage direction for this area
o.r into properly designed and approved drainage facilities. Roof gutters and
downspouts should be installed on all structures, with runoff directed away
from the foundations via closed drainage lines. Proper subsurface and
surface drainage will help minimize the potential for waters to seek the level
of the bearing soils under the .foundations, footings, and floor slabs. Failure

to observe this recommendation could result in undermining and differential
settlement of the structure or other improvements on the site.
The ground surface adjacent to building foundations shall be sloped at a
gradient of at least 5 percent within 10 feet, draining away from the
foundations.
In addition, appropriate erosion-control measures shall be taken at all time
during construction to prevent surface runoff waters from entering footing
excavations and ponding on finished building pads or running uncontrolled
over the tops of newly constructed cut or fill slopes. Particular care should be
taken to prevent saturation of any temporary construction slopes.
29. Planter areas, flower beds, and planter boxes shall be sloped to drain away
· from the foundations, footings, and floor slabs. Planter boxes shall be
constructed with a sealed bottom and a subsurface drain, installed in gravel,
with the direction of subsurface ahd surface flow away from the foundations,
footings, and floor slabs, to an adequate drainage facility. All landscaped
areas shall be provided with proper area drains.
H. General Recommendations
30. Following placement of any concrete floor slabs, sufficient drying time should
be allowed prior to placement of floor coverings. Premature placement of
floor coverings could result in degradation of adhesive materials and
loosening of the finish-floor tnaterrals.

development, this firm should be-contacted 24 hours prior to any need for
observation of footing or caisson excavations or field density testing of
compacted fill soils. If possible,. placement of formwork and steel
reinforce·ment iii footing excavations should not occur prior to observation of
the excavations; .in the event that our observation reveals the need for
deepening or redesigning foundation structures at any locations, any
formwork or steel reinforcement in the affected footing excavation areas
would have to be removed prior to correction of the observed problem (i.e.,
deepening the footing excavation, recompacting soil in the bottom of the
excavation, etc.).
X. GRADING NOTES
Any required grading operations shall be performed in accordance with the General
Earthwork Specifications (Appendix B) and the requirements of the City of Carlsbad
Grading Ordinance.
32. Geotechnical Exploration, Inc. recommends that we be asked to verify the
.actual soil conditions revealed during site grading work and footing
excavations to be as anticipated in this "Report of Preliminary Geotechnical
Investigation." In addition,. the compaction of any fill soils placed during site
grading work must be tested by the soil -engineer. It is the responsibility of
the grading contractor to-comply with the requirements on the grading or
building plans and the local gradi_ng ordinance.
33. It is the responsibility of the owner and/or developer to ensure that the
recommendations summarized in the report are carried out in the field

operations and . that our recommendations for design of the project are
incorporated in the building and grading plans. Our firm should review the
grading and foundation plans when they become available.
34, This firm does not practice or consult in the field of safety engineering. We
do not direct the contractor's operations, and we cannot be responsible for
the safety of personnel other than our own on the site; the safety of others is
the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor should notify the owner if
he considers any of the recommended actions presented herein to be unsafe.
XI. LIMITATIONS
bur conclusions and recommendations have been based on all available data
obtained from our field investigation and laboratory analysis, as well as our
experience with the soils and native materials located in the City of Carlsbad. Of
necessity, we must assume a certain degree of continuity between exploratory
excavations and/or natural exposures. The actual soil conditions between
exploratory excavations may differ. It is, therefore, necessary that all
observations, conclusions, and recommendations be verified at the time
grading operations begin or when footing excavations are placed. In the
event discrepancies are noted, additional recommendations may be issued,
· if required.
The work performed and recommendations presented herein are the result of an
investigation and analysis that meet the· contemporary standard of care in our
profession with the County of San Diego. No warranty is provided.

APPENDIXC-
MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY SCALE OF 1931
(Excerpted from the California Division of Conservation Division of Mines
and Geology DMG Note 32)
The first scale to reflect earthquake intensities was developed by deRossi of Italy, and Fore! of Switzerland, in the
1.880s, and is known as the Rossi-Fore! Scale. This scale, with Values from I to X, was used for about two decades.
A need for a more refined scale increased with the advancement of the science of seismology, and in 1902, the
Italian seismologist Mercalli devised a ne.w scale on a I to XII range. The Mercalli Scale was modified in 1931 by
American seismologists Harry 0. Wood and Frank Neumann to take into account modern structural features.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale measures the intensity of an earthquake's effects in a given locality, and is
perhaps much more meaningful to the layman because it is based on actual observations of earthquake effects at
specific places. It should be noted that because the damage used for assigning intensities can be obtained only from
direct firsth-and reports, considerable time --weeks or months --is sometimes needed before an intensity map can be
ass(;lmbled for a particular earthquake.
On the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, values range from I to XII. The most commonly used adaptation covers the
range of intensity from the conditionl? of "I --not felt except by very few, favorably situated," to "XII --damage total,
lines of sight disturbed, objects thrown into the air." While an earthquake has only one magnitude, it can have many
intensities, which decrease with distance from the epicenter.
It is difficult to compare magnitude and intensity because intensity is linked with the particular ground and structural
cQnditions of a. given area, as well as distance from the earthquake epicenter, while magnitude depends on the energy
released at the focus of the earthquake.
I Not felt except by a very few under esoecially favorable circumstances.
II Felt only by a few per~ons at rest, especially on upper floors of bu_ildings. Delicately suspended objects may swing.
III Felt quite noticeably indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings, but many peopl_e do not recognize it as an
earthquake. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Vibration like passing _of truck. Duration estimated.
IV During the day felt indoors by many, outdoors by few. At night some awakened. Dishes, windows, doors disturbed;
walls make cracking sound. Sensation like' heavy .truck striking buiJding. Standing motor cars rocked noticeably.
V Felt by nearly everyone, many awakened. Some dishes, windows, etc., broken; a few instances of cracked plaster;
unstable objects overturned. Disturbances of trees, poles, and other tall objects sometimes noticed. Pendulum clocks
may stop.
VI Felt by all, many frightened and run outdoors. Some heavy furniture moved; a few instances of fallen plaster or
damaged chimneys. Damage slight.
VII Everybody runs outdoors. Damage negligible in building of good design and construction; slight to moderate in well-
built ordinary structures; considerable in p.oorly built or badly designed structures; some chimneys broken. Noticed
by p·ersons driving motor cars .
VIII Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable ih ordinary substantial buildings, with partial collapse; great
in poorly built structures. Panel walls thrown out of frame structures. Fall of chimneys, factory stacks, columns,
monuments, walls. Heavy furniture overturned. Sand and mud ejected in small amounts. Changes in well water.
Persons driving motor cars disturbed.
IX Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown out of plumb; great in
substantial buildings With partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations. Ground cracked conspicuously.
Underground pipes broken.
X Some well-built wooden structures destroyed; most masonry and frame structures destroyed with foundations; ground
badly cracked. Rails bent. Landslides considerable from river banks and steep slopes. Shifted sand and mud. Water
spla~hed (slopped) over banks.
XI Few, if any, masonry structures remain standing. Bridges destroyed. Broad fissures in ground. Underground
pipelines completely out of service. Earth slumps and land slips in soft ground. Rails bent greatly.
XII. Damage total. Practically all works of construction are damaged greatly or destroyed. Waves seen on ground surface.

GENERAL EARTHWORK SPECIFICATIONS
General
The objective of these specifications is to properly establish procedures for the clearing and preparation of the
existing natural grour.id or properly compacted fill to receive new fill; for the selection of the fill material; and for
the fill compaction and testing methods to be used.
Scope of Work
The earthwork includes all the activities and resources provided by the contractor to construct in a good
workmanlike manner all the grades of the filled areas shown in the plans. The major items of work covered in this
section include all clearing and grubbing,· removing and disposing of materials, preparing areas to be filled,
compacting of fill, compacting of backfills, subdrain installations, and all other work necessary to complete the
grading of the filled areas.
Site Visit and Site Investigation
1. The contractor shall visit the site and carefully study it, and make all inspections necessary in order to
determine the fL1II extent of the work required to complete all grading in conformance with the drawings and
specifications. The contractor shall satisfy himself as to the nature, location, and extent of the work
conditions, the conformation and condition of the existing ground surface; and the type of equipment, labor,
aAd facilities needed prior to and during prosecution of the work. The contractor shall satisfy himself as to
the character, qUc1lity, and quantity of surface arid subsurfc;1ce materials or obstacles to be encountered. Any
inaccuracies or discrepancies between the actual field conditions and the drawings, or between the drawings
and specifications, must be brought to the engineer's attention in order to clarify the exact nature of the
work to be performed.
2. A soils investigation report has been prepared for this project by GEi. It is available for review and should be
used as· a reference to the surface ·and .subsurface soil and bedrock conditions on this project. Any
recommendations made in the report of the soil investigation or subsequent reports shall become an
addendum to these specifications.
Authority of the Soils Engineer and Engineering Geologist
The soils enginei,3r shall be the owner's representative to observe and test the construction of fills. Excavation and
the placing of fill shall be under the observation of the soils engineer and his/her representative, and he/she shall
give a written opinion regarding conformc;1nce with the specifications upon completion of grading. The soils
engineer shall have the authority to cause the removal and replacement of porous topsoils, uncompacted or
improperly compacted fills, disturbed bedrock materials, and soft alluvium, and shall have the authority to approve
or reject materials proposed-for use in the compacted fill areas.
The soils engineer shall have, in conjunction with the engineering geologist, the authority to approve the
preparation of natural ground and toe-of-fill benches to receive fill material. The engineering geologist shall have
the authority to evaluate the stability of the existing or proposed siopes, and to evaluate the necessity of remedial
measu'res. If any unstable condition is being created by cutting or filling, the engineering geologist and/or soils
engineer shall advise the contractor and owner immediately, and prohibit grading in the affected area until such
time as corrective measures are taken.
The owner shall decide all questions regarding: (1) the· interpretation of the drawings and specifications, (2) the
acceptable fulfillment of the contract on the part of the qontractor, and (3) the matter of compensation.

Clearing and Grubbing
1. Clearing and grubbing shall consist of the removal from all areas to be graded of all surface trash, abandoned
improvements, paving, culverts, pipe, and vegetation (including --but not limited to --heavy weed growth,
trees, stumps, logs and roots larger than 1-inch in diamet.er).
2. All organic and inorganic materials resulting from the clearing and grubbing operations shall be collected,
piled, and disposed of by the contractor to give the cleared areas a neat and finished appearance. Burning of
combustible materials on-site shall not be permitted unless allowed by local regulations, and at such times
and in such a manner to prevent the fire from spreading to areas adjoining the property or cleared area.
3. It is understood that minor amounts of organic materials may remain in the fill soils due to the near
impossibility of complete removal. The amount remaining, however, must be considered negligible, and in no
case can be allowed to occur in concentrations or total quantities sufficient to contribute to settlement upon
decomposition.
Preparation of Areas to be Filled
1. After clearing and grubbing, all uncompacted or improperly compacted fills, soft or loose soils, or unsuitable
materials, shall be removed to expose competent natural ground, undisturbed bedrock, or properly compacted
fill as indicated in the soils investigation report or by our field representative. Where the unsuitabl~ materials
are exposed in final graded areas, they shall be removed and. replaced as compacted fill.
2. The ground surface exposed after removal of unsuitable soils shall be scarified to a depth of at least 6
inches, brought to the specified moisture content, and then the scarified ground compacted to at least the
specified density. Where undisturbed bedrock is exposed at the surface, scarification and recompaction shall
not be required.
3. All areas to receive compacted fill, including all removal areas and toe-of-fill benches, shall be observed and
approved by the soils engineer and/or engineering geologist prior to placing compacted fill.
4. Where fills are made on hillsides or exposed slope areas with gradients greater than 20 percent, horizontal
.benches shall be cut into firm, undisturbed, natural ground in order to provide both lateral and vertical
stability. This is to provide a horizontal base so that each layer is placed and compacted on a horizontal
plane. The initial bench at the toe of the fill shall be at least 10 feet in width on firm, undisturbed, natural
ground at the elevation of the toe stake placed at the· bot.tom of the design slope. The engineer shall
determine the width arid frequency of all succeeding benches, which will vary with the soil conditions and
the steepness of the slope. Ground slopes flatter than 20 percent (5.0:1.0) shall be benched when
considered necessary by the soils engineer.
Fill and Backfill Material
Unless otherwise specified, the on-site material obtained from the prqject excavations may be used as fill or
bac,kfill, provided that all organic material, rubbish, debris, and other objectionable material contained therein is first
removed. In the event that expansive materials are .encountered during foundation excavations within 3 feet of
finished grade and they have not been properly processed, they shall be entirely remo_ved or thoroughly mixed with
good, granular material before incorporating them in fills. No footing shall be allowed to bear on soils which, in the
opinion of·the soils engineer, are detrimentally expansive --unless designed for this clayey condition.
However, rocks, boulders, broken Portland· cement concrete, and bituminous-type pavement obtained from the
project excavations may be permitted in the backfill or fill with the following limitations:

4.
The maximum dimension of any piece used in the top 10 feet shall be no larger than 6 inches.
Clods or hard lumps of earth of 6 inches in greatest dimension shall be broken up before compacting the
material in fill.
If the fill material originating from the project excavation contains large rocks, boulders, or hard lumps that
cannot be broken readily, pieces ranging from 6 inches in diameter to 2 feet in maximum dimension may be
used in fills below final subgrade if all pieces are placed in such a manner (such as windrows) as to eliminate
nesting or voids between them. No rocks over 4 feet will be allowed in the fill.
Pieces larger than 6 inches shall not be placed within 12 inches of any structure.
5. Pieces larger than 3 inches shall not be placed within 12 inches of the subgrade for paving.

7.
8.
9.
Rockfills containing less than 40 percent of soil passing 3/4~inch sieve may be permitted in designated areas.
Specific recommendations shall be made by the soils engineer and be subject to approval by the city
engineer.
Continuous observation by the soils engineer is required during rock placement.
Special and/or additional recommendations may be provided in writing by the soils engineer to modify,
clarify, or amplify these specifications.
During grading oper.ations, soil types other than those analyzed .in the soil investigation report may be
encountered by the contractor. The soils engineer shall be consulted to evaluate the suitability of these soils
as fill materials.
Placing and Compacting Fill Material
1. After preparing the areas to be filled, the approved fill material ·$hall be placed in approximately horizontal
layers, with lift thickness compatible to the material being placed and the type of equipment being used.
Unless otherwise approved by the soils engineer, each layer spread for compaction shall not exceed 8 inches
of loose thickness. Adequate drainage of tl:ie flll shall be provided at all times during the construction period.
2. When the moisture content of the fill material is below that specified by the engineer, water shall be added
to it until the moisture content is as specified.
3. When the moisture content of the fill material is above that specified by the engineer, resulting in inadequate
compaction or unstable fill, the fill material shall be aerated by blading and scarifying or other satisfactory
methods until the moisture content is as specified.
4. After each layer has been placed, mixed, and sprec1d evenly, it shall be thoroughly compacted to not less
than the density set forth in the specifications. Compaction shall be accomplished with sheepsfoot rollers,
multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers, or other approved types of acceptable compaction equipment.
Equipment shall be of -such design that it will be able to compact the fill to the specified relative compaction.
Compaction shall cover the entire fill area, and the equipment shall make sufficient trips to ensure that the
desired density has been obtained throughout the entire fill.· At locations where it would be impractical due
to inaccessibility of rolling compacting equipment, fill layers shall be compacted to the specified requirements
by hand-directed compaction equipment. ·

5. When soil types or combination of soil types are· encountered which tend to develop densely packed surfaces
as a result of spreading or compacting operations, the surface of each layer of fill shall be sufficiently
roughened after compaction to ensure bond to the succeeding layer.
6. Unless otherwise specified, fill slopes shall not be steeper than 2.0 horizontal to 1.0 .vertical. In general, fill
slopes shall be finished in conformance with the lines and grades shown on the plans. The surface o·f fill
slopes shall be overfilled to a distance from finished slopes such that it will allow compaction equipment to
operate freely within the zone of the finished slope, and then cut back to the finished grade to expose the
compacted core. Alternate compaction procedures include the backrolling of slopes with sheepsfoot rollers
in increments of. 3 to 5 feet in elevation gain. Alternate methods may be used by the contractor, but they
shall be evaluated for .approval by the soils engineer.
7. Unless otherwise specified, all allowed expansive fill material shall be compacted to a moisture content of
approximately 2 to 4 percent above the optimum moisture content. Nonexpansive fill shall be compacted at
near-optimum moisture content: All fill shall be compacted, unless otherwise specified, to a relative
compaction not less than 95 percent for fill in the upper 12 inches of subgrades under areas to be paved
with asphalt concrete or. Portland concrete, cind not less than 90 percent for other fill. The relative
compaction is the ratio of the dry unit weight of the compacted fill to the laboratory maximum dry unit
weight of a sample of the same soil, obtained in accordance with A.S.T.M. D-1557 test method.
8. The observation and periodic tE!sting by the $Oils engineer are intended to provide the contractor with an
ongoing measure of the quality of the fill compaction operation. It is the responsibility of the grading
contractor to utilize this information to establish the degrees of compactive effort required on the project.
More importantly, it is the responsibility of the grading eontractor 'to ensure that proper compactive effort is
applie.d at all times during , the-grading operation, including during the absence of soils engineering
representatives.
Trench Backfill
1. Trench excavations which exteind under graded lots, paved areas, areas under the influence of structural
loading, in slopes or close to slope areas, shall be backfilled under the observations and testing of the soils
engineer. All trenches not falling within the aforementioned locations shall be backfilled in accordance with
the City or County regulating agency specifications.
2. Unless otherwise specified, the minimum degre_e of compaction shall be 90 percent of the laboratory
maximum dry density.
3. Any soft, spongy, unstable, or other similar material encountered in the trench excavation upon which the
bedding material or pipe is to be placed, shall be r_emoved to a depth recommended by the soils engineer and
replaced with bedding materials suitably densified.
4.
Bedding material shall first be placed so that the pipe is supported for the full length of the barrel with full
bearing on the bottom segment. After the needed testing of the pipe is accomplished, the bedding shall be
complett;ld to at least 1· foot on toP of. the pipe!. The bedding shall be properly densified before backfill is
_placed. Bedding shall consist of granular material _with a sand equivalent not less than 30, or other material
approved by the engineer.
No rocks greater than 6 inches in diameter will be allowed in the backfill placed between 1 foot above the
pipe and 1 foot below finished subgrade. Rocks greater than 2.5 inches in any dimension will not be allowed
in the backfill placed within 1 foot of pavement subgrade.

5. Material ·for mechanically compacted backfill shall be placed in lifts of horizontal layers and properly
moistened prior to compaction. ·1n addition, the layers shall have a thickness compatible with the material
being placed and the type of equipment being used. Each layer shall be evenly spread, moistened or dried,
and then tamped or .rolled until the specified relative compaction has been attained.
6. Backfi,11 shall be mechanically compacted by means of tamping rollers, sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire
rollers, vibratory rollers, or other mechanical tampers. Impact-type pavement breakers (stampers) will not be
permitted over clay, asbestos cement, plastic, cast iron, or nonreinforced concrete pipe. Permission to use
specific compaction equipment shall not be construed as guaranteeing or i111plying that the use of such
equipment will not result in damage to adjacent ground, existing improvements, or improvements installed
under the contract. -The contractor shall make his/her own determination in this regard.
7. Jetting shall .not be permitted as a compaction method unless the soils engineer allows it in writing.
8. Clean granular material shall not be used as backfill or bedding in trenches located in slope areas or within a
distance of 10 feet of the top of slopes unless provisions are made for a drainage system to mitigate the
potential buildup of seepage forces into the slope mass.
Observations and Testing
, 1. The soils engineers or their representatives shall sufficiently observe and test the grading operations so that
they can state their opinion as to whether or not the fill was constructed in accordance with the
specifications.
2. The soils engineers or their representatives shall take sufficient density tests during the placement of
compacted fi.11. The contractor should assist the soils engineer and/or his/her representative by digging test
pits for removal determinations and/or for testing, compacted fill. In addition, the contractor should cooperate
with the soils engineer by removing or shutting down equipment from the area being tested.
3. Fill shall be tested for compliance, with the recommended relative compaction and moisture conditions. Field
density testing should be performed by using approved methods by A.S.T.M., such as A.S.T.M. D1556,
D2922, and/or D2937. Tests to evaluate density of compacted fill should be provided on the basis of not
less than one test for each 2-foot vertical lift of the fill, but not less than one test for each 1,000 cubic yards
of fill placed. Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions dictate. In fill slopes, approximately half of
the· tests shall be made at the fill slope, except that not more than one test needs to be made for eac_h 50
horizontal feet of slope in each 2-foot vertical lift. Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions dictate.
4. Fill found not to be in conformance with the grading recommendations ~hould be removed or otherwise
handled as recommended by the soils engineer.
Site Protection
It shall be the grading contractor's obligation to take all measures deemed necessary during grading to maintain
adequate. safety measures and working conditions, and to provide erosion-control devices for the protection of
excavated areas, slope areas, finished work on the site and adjoining properties, from storm damage and flood
hazard originating on the project. It shall be the contractor's responsibility to maintain slopes in their as-graded
form ·untif all slopes are in satisfactory compliance with the job specifications, all berms and benches have been
properly constructed, and all associated drainage devices have been installed and meet the requirements of the
specifications.

All observations, testing services, and approvals given by the soils engineer and/or geologist shall not relieve the
contractor of his/her responsibilities of performing the work ·in accordance with these specifications.
After .grading is completed and the soils engineer has finished his/her observations and/or testing of the work, no
further excavat!dn or filling shall be done except under his/her observations.
Adverse Weather Conditions
1. Precautions shall be taken by the contractor during the performance of site clearing, excavations, and
grading to· protect the worksite from flooding, ponding, or inundation by poor or improper surface drainage.
Temporary provisions shall be made during the rainy seas.on to adequately direct surface drainage away from
and off the worksite. Where low areas cannot be avoided, pumps should be kept on hand to continually
remove water during periods of rainfall.
2. During periods of rainfall, plastic sheeting shall be kept reasonably accessible to prevent unprotected slopes
from becoming saturated. Where necessary during periods of rainfall, the contractor shall install checkdams,
desilting basins, rip-rap, sandbags, or other devices or methods necessary to control erosion and provide safe
conditions.
3. During periods o.f rainfall, the soils engineer should be kept informed by the contractor as to the nature of
remedial or preventative work being performed {e.g. pumping, placement of sandbags or plastic sheeting,
other labor, dozing, etc.).

Following periods of rainfall, the contractor shall contact the soils engineer and arrange a walk-over of the
site in order to visually assess rain-related damage .. The soils engineer may also recommend excavations and
testing in order to aid in his/her assessments. At the request of the soil's engineer, the contractor shall make
excavations in order to evaluate the extent of rain-related damage.
Rain-related damage shall be considered to include, but may not be limited to, erosion, silting, saturation,
swelling, structural distress, and other adverse conditions identified by the soils engineer. Soil adversely
affected shall be classified as Unsuitable Materials, and shall be subject to overexcavation and replacement
with compacted fill or other remedial grading, as recommended by the soils engineer.
Relatively level areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths of greater than 1 .0 foot,
shall be overexcavated to unaffected, competent material. Where less than 1 .0 foot in depth, unsuitable
materials may be processed ih place to achieve near-optimum moisture conditions, then thoroughly
recompacted in accordance With the applicable specifications. If the desired results are not achieved, the
affected materials shall be over-excavated, then replaced in accordance with the applicable specifications.
In slope areas, where saturated soils and/or erosion gullies exist to depths of greater than 1.0 foot, they shall
be overexcavated and replaced as compacted fill in accordance with the applicable specifications. Where
af.fected materials exist to depths of 1.0 foot or less below pr:oposed finished grade, remedial grading by
moisture-conditioning in place, followed by thorough recompac;:tion in accordance with the applicable grading
guidelines herein presented may be. attempted. If materials shall be overexcavated and replaced as
compacted fill, it shall be done in accordance with the slope-repair recommendations herein. As field
conditions dictate, other slope-repair procedures may be recommended by the soils engineer.
