Dear Mr. Tallman:
Pursuant to your request, a Preliminary Geotechnical Soils
Investigation was performed at the subject site. The purp6se of
the Investigation was to determine the general engineering I characteristics of the soils on and underlying the site and to
provide specific r'ecommendations for the design parameter_s for

foundations and retaining structures, slab-on-grade floors and
site earthwork.
The proposed development consists of the construction o£ a
one/two story, single family residence, manufactured house or
standard wood framed/stucco type structure.
SITE CONDITIONS
The subj~ct site is located approximately 0.2 miles east of
the San Diego Freeway (1-5) on the west side of Pio Pico Drive~ in
the City of Carlsbad.
The site topography consists of a gently sloping lot falling
at approximately 7% to the west. During this investi~ation, there

be removed from the area during rough grading. Also, the surface
vegetation, shrubs, and any other organic materials shall be
removed from the grading area •
FIELD AND LABORATORY TESTING
On June 27, 1998, a field investigation w'as pe'rformed at the
subject site. This investigation consisted of the excavation of
one test pit dug with a backhoe. The locations of this test hole
is shown on the Plot Plan, Enclosure (1) and the detailed soil log
of the Test Pit is presented on Enclosure (2).
As the test pit was advanced, the soils were visually
classified by the Field Engineer. Undisturbed and bulk samples,
as well as in-place density tests, were obtained at various depths
representative of the different soils horizons. All samples were
returned to our laboratory for detailed testing .
Results of the in-place compaction tests, the Maximum Dry
Density Test values for the various soils sampled and the
Expansion Potential Test results are presented on Enclosure (3).
These materials were also tested for Shearing Strength, Enclosure
( 4 ) •
Shear tests were made with a direct shear machine of, the
strain control type in which the rate of strain is 0.05 inches per
minute. The machine is so designed that tests may be performed
ensuring a minimum of disturbance from the field conditions.
Saturated, remolded specimens were subjected to shear under
various normal loads. Expansion tests were performed on typical
specimens of natural ioils. These tests were performed in
accordance with the procedures outlined in U.B.C. Standard 29-2.

SOIL CONDITIONS
FOUNDA TlON DESIGN' LAND SURVEYING' SOIL TESTING
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT & INSPECTION
As indicated by our Test Pit Logs, Enclosure (2), the site is
underlain with approximately 3 feet of topsoil mate~ial consisting
of dry, loose, silty sand with some roots. Underlying the topsoil
materials is an undetermined depth of Terrace Deposit soils
consisting of damp, dense to very dense, silty sands/sandy silts.
The depth of our test pit was 7.5 feet below the surface into a
very dense, cemented material.
GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS
The geologic hazards at the site are earthquake effects
generated by fault movements. These effects include ground
shaking, seismic settlement, differential compaction of loose
soils, and ground lurching. The distance from the nearest major
active fault (Rose Canyon Fault) decreases the risk from these
hazards at this site. No faults have been identified within the
site.
SLOPE STABILITY
The site surface materials consist of sandy clays that are
relatively loose in their dry state. These materials as well as
the underlying silty sands are susceptible to erosion. Drainage
control is essential to maintain the stability of any planned
slopes or slope areas.
LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL
Liquefaction analysis of the soils underlying the site was
based on the consideration of various factors which> include the

water level, soil type gradation, relative density, intensity of
ground shaking and duration of shaking. Liquefaction potential
has been found to be the greatest where the ground water level is
shallow and loose fine sands occur within a depth of ~O feet or
less. These conditions are not present within the site area and
liquefaction is not considered a potential hazard at the site.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on field data and our laboratory tests results, the
following Conclusions and Recommendations are presented and are to
be utilized in conjunction with the Grading and Building Plans:
All grading shall be performed in accordance with the
applicable recommended grading specifications contained in this
report and the City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinance.
On the basis of our investigation, development of the site as
proposed is considered feasible from a soils engineering
standpoint provided that the recommendations stated herein are
incorporated in the design of foundation systems and are
implemented in the field.
"-
Site preparation should begin with the removal of the
surface vegetation and any trash, debris, and other deleterious
matter. These materials, as well as vegetative :matter, are no.;t
suitable for use in structural fills and should be exported fr0m
the site. Also, any subsurface structures such as cesspools,
wells, or abandoned pipelines, which are uncovered during the
grading operation, shall be removed or backfilled in accordance
with the requirements of the City of Carlsbad.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT & INSPECTION
All on-site earth materials are considered suitable for the
support of the proposed structures. However, prior to
construction or placing fill materials, the loose topsoil
materials shall be removed to a depth where firm, hard native
soils are encountered. Only minor grading is anticipated in order
to process the loose surface topsoils. These soils,sh.!l be
removed to a depth of 36 inches, the bottom of the excavation
shall be ripped, watered, and recompacted, and the native soils
shall be recompacted to the design pad grade.
All structural fill shall be compacted to at least 90% of
maximum dry density at 2% over optimum moisture content as,
determined in accordance with ASTM Test Procedure D 1557-91 or
equivalent.
Site drainage should be dispersed by non-erodible dev~ces in
a manner to preclude concentrated runoff over graded and natural
areas in accordance with the City of Carlsbad requirements.
All grading and/or foundation plans shall be reviewed by the
Soil Engineer.
FOUNDATIONS
It is anticipated that'the proposed structure for this
project shall be supported by conventional isolated and/or
continuous footings founded on firm native soils. The recommended
allowable bearing value is 1750 psf and may be used fo~ footings
founded in the native materials. This value is for deAd plus live
loads and may be increased by one-third (1/3) for seismic and wind
loads where allowed by code. This design bearing value ,is in
accordance with the Uniform Building Code and was calculated based
on Terzaghis' Formula.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT &iNSPECTION
In general, the native surface soils and underlying Terrace
Deposit soils were found to have a moderate expansive potential
according to our Expansion Index Test results. Foundations shall
be sized and constructed in accordance with the Structural
Engineer's design, based on the above bearing value, ~he lateral
load parameters as outlined in the latter part of this r~port, the
expected live and dead loads, and the projected wind and seismic
loads.
FOUNDATIONS
It is recommended that the continuous perimeter foundations
and concrete slabs for a light weight wood-framed struct"ure shall
be reinforced in accordance with the following minimum designs:
a. For slab-on-grade floors: it is recommended that ihe
continuous perimeter foundations for a single story structure
shall extend a minimum depth of 18 inches and a minimum width of
12 inches into the compacted fill material as measured from the
lowest adjacent grade. For a two story structure, the fbundations
shall be 24 inches deep and 15 inches wide.
b. The continuous perimeter foundations shall ~e reinforced
with a minimum of four No.4 steel bars; two barS shall be ~laced
3 inches from the top of the foundation and the other bars shall
be placed 3 inches from the bottom. As an alternative to the No.
4 steel rebars, one No. 5 steel rebar top and bottom may be u~ed.
c. All interior concrete slabs shall be a minimum of four
inches in thickness and reinforced with a minimu~ of No. 3 rebar
at 18 inches on center both ways placed in the center of the slab.
The bars shall be bent downward into the perimeter f00tings to a

depth of 3 inches from the bottom at 18 inches on center. In
order to minimize vapor transmission, an impermeable membrane lie:
visqueen) shall be placed over 2 inches of clean, poorly graded,
coarse sand, decomposed granite, or crushed rock. The membrane
shall be covered with 2 inches of sand to protect it during
construction and the sand should be lightly moistened just prior
to placing concrete. All concrete used on this project shall have
a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi unless otherwise stated
on the Building Plans.
If imported soil materials are used during grading to bring
the building pad to the design elevations, or if variations of
soils or building locations are encountered, foundation and slab
designs shall be reevaluated by our firm upon the completion of
the rough grading operation.
Footings located on or adjacent to the top of slopes shall be .
extended to a sufficient depth to provide a minimum horizontal
distance of 7 feet between the bottom edge of the footing and the
face of the slope.
LATERAL LOAD PARAMETERS
The lateral load parameters to be used in the design of the
foundations, retaining and restraining walls founded in the fill
soils are derived from the angle of friction, ~ (21~), and the
Cohesion C= 540 psf, obtained from the direct shear tests from
Test Pit #1 at a depth of 2 to 3 feet using the following
formulas:
A. Active Pressure Coefficient, Ka = 1-sin ~ = 0.47
l+sin Rf
B. Passive Pressure Coefficient, Kp = l/Ka = 2.12
C. At Rest Pressure Coefficient, Ko = I-sin ~ = 0.64

The equivalent fluid pressures are obtained by the formulas:
Active Pressure: z Ka ~ = 0.47 x 133.0 = 54 pet
Passive Pressure: z Kp ~ = 2.12 x 133.0 = 242 pcf
Pressure at Rest: z Ko ~ = 0.64 x 133.0 = 73 pcf
Applicable where ~ = soil wet density (133.0 pcf), j;f = 21~, and
z : (depth and width of footing) = 1.0'.
A coefficient of friction of 0.35 may be used for design of
concrete on the native soils.
RETAINING WALLS
An equivalent fluid pressure of thirty (30) pOl;J.uds per.cubic
foot may be used for design of retaining walls. This figure is
based on a drained condition and use of level granular backfill.
If the existing native soils are used as backfill, the
equivalent fluid pressure will be 54 pounds per cubic foot. For
1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical) sloping backfill, an active
pressure equivalent to that exerted by a fluid ~eighing ~O pcf
should be assumed.
BACKFILL
If excavations are made by sloping or over-cutting, it will
be necessary to place backfill behind the retainihg walls aft~r
completion of the structure. Backfill soil should be granular in
nature and free of organic matter and debris.
All backfill should be placed after inspection has been made
of the bottom of the excavation and the installation of the

subdrain behind the wall. Form lumber and other debris shall not
be permitted at the base of the backfill.
All backfill should be compacted to 90% of the Laboratory
Standard. In some areas where the walls approach the excavated
embankment, it may prove economical to plaqe gravel rather than
soil for backfill.
LIMITATIONS AND UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
The analysis and recommendations submitted in this Report are
based in part upon the data obtained from the test pit excavations
performed on the site and our experience and judgement. The
nature and extent of variations between the test pits may not
become evident until construction. If variations then appear
evident, it will be necessary to-re-evaluate the recommendations
of this Report.
Findings of the Report are valid as of this date; however,
changes in conditions of a property can occur with passage of time
whether they be due to natural process or works of man on this or
adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or
appropriate standards occur whether they result from legislation
or broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, findings of this Report
may be invalidated wholly or partially by changes outside our
control. Therefore, this Report is subject to review and should
not be relied upon after a period of one year.
In the event that any changes in the nature, design or
locations of buildings are planned, the conclusions and
recommendations contained in this Report shall not be considered
valid unless the changes are reviewed and conclusions of this
Report modified or verified in writing.
