The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the geotechnical conditions of the subject site and to provide recommendations for the proposed project. This geotechnical engineering report presents the finding of our study along with conclusions and recommendations for development. We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Respectfully submitted NORCAL ENGINEERING Keith D. Tucker jjo ( No. 841 \ ^11 Troy D. Norrell Project Engineer \ c^„,,,a,,no / r'-l President R.G.E. 841 August 14, 2000 ^ ^oject Number 8710-00 Page 2 Project Description The purpose of the investigation was to explore the subsurface conditions and to provide preliminary geotechnical engineering design parameters for evaluation of the site with respect to the proposed development. It is proposed to construct a unit condominium development of the subject site. Other improvements will comprise of concrete and asphalt pavement areas. Site DescriDtion The subject project is situated within a residential/commercial tract at the northwest corner of Christiansen Way and Carlsbad Boulevard, in the City of Carlsbad. The lot is approximately 2.5 acres in area and irregular in shape. The site is relatively level with topography descending gradually from west to east of a few feet. The property contains several single-family residences with associated improvements. The open areas of the site are covered with a heavy growth of vegetation with the exception of the property immediately along Carlsbad Boulevard. Field Investigation The investigation consisted of the placement of six (6) borings performed on April 13, 2000 and six (6) additional borings performed on August 8, 2000 to a maximum depth of 15 feet placed at accessible areas throughout the site. The explorations were visually ; classified and logged by a field engineer with locations of the subsurface explorations j shown on the attached Site Plan. The exploratory excavations revealed the existing I earth materials to consist of a fill and native soil. A detailed description of the i subsurface conditions are listed on the excavation logs in Appendix A. These soils are I i described as follows: Fill: A fill soil to a depth of 1 to 3 feet was encountered consisting predominately of a brown, fine to medium grained, slightly silty SAND which was noted generally to be loose to dense and dry to damp. These soils were noted to contain some small gravel, vegetation and root structures. NorCal Engineering f. • August 14, 2000 Project Number 8710-00 Page 3 Natural: An undisturbed native material was encountered directly beneath the upper fill soils consisting predominately of a brown to red brown, fine to medium grained, slightly silty SAND which were noted to be dense and moist. Deeper soils consisted of dense to very dense sands to silty sands. The overall engineering characteristics of the earth material were relatively uniform with each boring. Groundwater was not encountered and no caving occurred to the depths of our excavations. Labpratpry Tg$tg Relatively undisturbed samples of the subsurface soils were obtained to perform laboratory testing and analysis for direct shear, consolidation tests, and to determine in- place moisture/densities. These undisturbed samples consisted of one-inch rings with inside diameter of 2.5 inches. Bulk bag samples were obtained in the upper soils for expansion index tests, maximum density tests, atterberg limits and sulfate tests. All test results are included in Appendix B, unless noted otherwise. A. The field moisture content (ASTM:D 2216) and the dry density of the ring samples were determined in the laboratory. This data is listed on the log of excavations. B. Maximum density tests (ASTM: D-1557-91) were performed on typical samples of the upper soils. Results of these tests are shown on Table I. C. Expansion index tests in accordance with the Uniform Building Code Standard No. 29-2 were performed on remolded samples of the upper soils to determine the expansive characteristics. Results of these tests are provided on Table II. NorCal Engineering August 14, 2000 Project Number 8710-00 Page 4 D. Determination of Atterberg limits (ASTM: D 4318-84) consisting of liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index of soils were performed on representative samples. Results are shown on Table III E. Soluble sulfate tests in accordance with EPA Method 9038 were performed on representative soils samples. Results are provided in Table IV. F. Direct shear tests (ASTM: D-3080) were performed on undisturbed and disturbed samples of the subsurface soils. The test is performed under saturated conditions at loads of 500 Ibs./sq.ft., 1,000 Ibs./sq.ft., and 2,000 Ibs./sq.ft. with results shown on Plate A. G. Consolidation tests (ASTM: D-2435) were performed on undisturbed samples to determine the differential and total settlement which may be anticipated based upon the proposed loads. Water was added to the samples at a surcharge of one KSF and the settlement curves are plotted on Plate B. Conclusions and Recommendations Based upon our evaluations, the proposed development is acceptable from a geotechnical engineering standpoint. By following the recommendations and guidelines set forth in our report, the structures will be safe from excessive settlements under the anticipated design loadings and conditions. The proposed development shall meet all requirements of the City Building Ordinance and will not impose any adverse effect on existing adjacent structures. It is recommended that site inspections be performed by a representative of this firm during all grading and construction of the development to verify the findings and recommendations documented in this report. The following sections present a discussion of geotechnical related requirements for specific design recommendations of different aspects of the project. NorCal Engineering August 14, 2000 ^ Project Number 8710-00 Page 5 Seismicity Evaluation There are no known active or potentially active faults trending toward or through the site. The proposed development lies outside of any Alquist Priolo Special Studies Zone and the potential for damage due to direct fault rupture is considered very remote. The site is located in an area of high regional seismicity and a peak horizontal ground acceleration of 0.45g may occur from a Magnitude 6.9 earthquake along the fault zone, which is located approximately 4 miles away. Ground shaking originating from earthquakes along other active faults in the region is expected to induce lower horizontal accelerations due to smaller anticipated earthquakes and/or greater distances to other faults. The following earthquake design parameters are based upon the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) for a Seismic Zone 4 with a Z factor of 0.40 and a Soil Profile Type of So, based on a stiff soil profile. 1997 UBC Seismic Design Parameters Distance from Site (Rose Canyon Fault) 7 km Seismic Source Type B Seismic Coefficient = Ca (Table 16-Q) (0.44) Na Seismic Coefficient = Cv (Table 16-R) (0.64) Nv Near-Source Factor Na (Table 16-S) 1.0 Near-Source Factor Nv (Table 16-T) 1.2 Site Grading Recommendations Any vegetation or demolition debris shall be removed and hauled from proposed grading areas prior to the start of grading operations. Any removed soils may be reutilized as compacted fill once any deleterious material or oversized materials (in excess of eight inches) is removed. All grading operations shall be performed in accordance with the attached "Specifications for Compacted Fill Operations". NorCal Engineering August 14, 2000 ^ ^oject Number 8710-00 Page 6 The upper disturbed/fill soils (upper 1 to 3 feet) shall be removed to expose native soils, the exposed surface shall be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, brought to the proper moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90% of the laboratory standard prior to placement of any additional compacted fill soils, foundations and concrete slabs. This fill shall extend a minimum of five horizontal feet or to the depth of vertical overexcavation, whichever is greater, beyond the outside edge of the perimeter foundation. Temporary Excavations Temporary unsurcharged excavations in the existing site materials less than 4 feet high may be made at a vertical gradient unless cohesionless soils are encountered. Temporary unsurcharged excavations from 4 to 8 feet high may be trimmed at a 1 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) gradient. In areas where soils with little or no binder are encountered, where adverse geological conditions are exposed, or where excavations are adjacent to existing structures, shoring, slot-cutting, or flatter excavations may be required. The temporary cut slope gradients given do not preclude local raveling and sloughing. All excavations shall be made in accordance with the requirements of CAL-OSHA and other public agencies having jurisdiction. Care should be taken to provide or maintain adequate lateral support for all adjacent improvements and structures at all times during the grading operations and construction phase. Foundation Design All foundations may be designed utilizing a safe bearing capacity of 2,000 psf for an embedded depth of 18 inches into approved compacted fill soils or competent native soils. The bearing value may be increased by 500 psf for each additional foot of depth in excess of the 18 inch minimum depth, up to a maximum of 3,000 psf. A one third increase may be used when considering short term loading and seismic forces. NorCal Engineering r August 14, 2000 ~ Woject Number 8710-00 Page 7 Lateral Resistance The following values may be utilized in resisting lateral loads imposed on the structure. Requirements of the current Uniform Building Code should be adhered to when the coefficient of friction and passive pressures are combined: Coefficient of Friction - 0.40 Equivalent Passive Fluid Pressure = 250 Ib./cu.ft. Maximum Passive Pressure = 2,500 Ibs./sq.ft. The passive pressure recommendations are valid only for compacted fill soils and/or competent native soils. Settlement Analysis Resultant pressure curves for the consolidation tests are shown on Plate B. Computations utilizing these curves and the recommended safe bearing capacities reveal that the foundations will experience settlements on the order of V* inch and differential settlements of less than % inch. Retaining Wall Design Parameters Active earth pressures against retaining walls will be equal to the pressures developed by the following fluid densities. These values are for granular free draining backfill material placed adjacent to the walls at various ground slopes above the walls. Surface Slope of Retained Materials Equivalent Fluid (Horizontal to VerticaH Density (Ib./cu.ft.) Level 30 5 to 1 35 4 to 1 38 3 to 1 40 2 to 1 45 Any applicable short-term construction surcharges and seismic forces should be added to the above lateral pressure values. A backfill zone of non-expansive material shall consist of a wedge beginning a minimum of one horizontal foot from the base of the wall extending upward at an inclination no less than 1/4 to 1 (horizontal to vertical). All walls shall be waterproofed as needed and protected from hydrostatic pressure by a reliable permanent subdrain system. NorCal Engineering August 14, 2000 ^ Project Number 8710-00 Page 8 Slab Recommendations All concrete slabs shall be a minimum of four inches in thickness and placed on approved subgrade soils. A vapor barrier sandwiched between four inches of select sand shall be utilized beneath floor slabs which would be sensitive to the infiltration of moisture. All concrete slab areas to receive floor coverings should be moisture tested to meet all manufacturer requirements prior to placement. Corrosion Design Criteria Representative samples of the surficial soils, typical of the subgrade soils expected to be encountered within foundation excavations were tested for sulfate concentration. According to the '1994 Uniform Building Code (UBC) Table 19-A-3 - Requirements for Concrete Exposed to Sulfate-Containing Solutions', these contents revealed negligible levels of sulfate exposure. Therefore, a Type II cement according to latest UBC specifications may be utilized for building foundations at this time. Additional sulfate tests shall be performed at the completion of rough grading to assure that these soils are consistent with the recommendations stated in this design. Sulfate test results may be found on the attached Table IV. Limitations The recommendations and conclusions contained in this report are based upon the soil conditions uncovered in our test excavations. No warranty of the soil condition between our excavations is implied. NorCal Engineering should be notified for possible further recommendations if unexpected to unfavorable conditions are encountered during construction phase. NorCal Engineering r August 14, 2000 ^ Tfoject Number 8710-00 Page 9 Any unusual conditions which may be encountered in the course of the project development may require the need for additional study and revised recommendations. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all information within this report is submitted to the Architect and appropriate Engineers for the project. This firm should have the opportunity to review the final plans to verify that all our recommendations are incorporated. This report and all conclusions are subject to the review of the controlling authorities for the project. A preconstruction conference should be held between the developer, general contractor, grading contractor, city inspector, architect, and geotechnical engineer to clarify any questions relating to the grading operations and subsequent construction. Our representative should be present during the gradirig operations and construction phase to certify that such recommendations are complied within the field. This geotechnical investigation has been conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill exercised by members of our profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the Southern California area. No other warranty, expressed or implied is made. NorCal Engineering August 14, 2000 ^ Troject Number 8710-00 Page 10 SPECIFICATIONS FOR PLACEMENT OF COMPACTED FILL Preparation Any existing low density soils and/or saturated soils shall be removed to competent natural soil under the inspection of the Soils Engineering Firm. After the exposed surface has been cleansed of debris and/or vegetation, it shall be scarified until it is uniform in consistency, brought to the proper moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90%jelative compaction (in accordance with ASTM: D-1557-91). Material For Fill The on-site soils or approved import soils may be utilized for the compacted fill provided they are free of any deleterious materials and shall not contain any rocks, brick, asphaltic concrete, concrete or other hard materials greater than eight inches in maximum dimensions. Any import soil must be approved by the Soils Engineering firm a minimum of 24 hours prior to importation of site. Placement of Compacted Fill Soils The approved fill soils shall be placed in layers not in excess of six inches in thickness. Each lift shall be uniform in thickness and thoroughly blended. The fill soils shall be brought to within 15% of the optimum moisture content, unless otherwise specified by the Soils Engineering firm. Each lift shall be compacted to a minimum of 90% relative compaction (in accordance with ASTM: D-1557-91) and approved prior to the placement of the next layer of soil. Compaction tests shall be obtained at the discretion of the Soils Engineering firm but at a minimum of one test for every 500 cubic yards placed and/or for every two vertical feet of compacted fill placed. NorCal Engineering August 14. 2000 ^ Reject Number 8710-00 Page 11 The minimum relative compaction shall be obtained in accordance with accepted methods in the construction industry. The final grade of the structural areas shall be in a dense and smooth condition prior to placement of slabs-on-grade or pavement. No fill soils shall be placed, spread or compacted during unfavorable weather conditions. When the grading is interrupted by heavy rains, compaction operations shall not be resumed until approved by the Soils Engineering firm. Grading Observations The controlling governmental agencies should be notified prior to commencement of any grading operations. This firm recommends that the grading operations be conducted under the observation of a Soils Engineering firm as deemed necessary. A 24 hour notice must be provided to this firm prior to the time of our initial inspection. Observation shall include the clearing and grubbing operations to assure that all unsuitable materials have been properly removed; approval of the exposed subgrade in areas to receive fill and in areas where excavation has resulted in the desired finished grade and designate areas of overexcavation; and perfonnance of field compaction tests to determine relative compaction achieved during fill placement. In addition, all foundation excavations shall be observed by the Soils Engineering firm to confirm that appropriate bearing materials are present at the design grades and recommend any modifications to construct footings.
