OFFICE PREPARATION AND FIELD WORK
reports; a review of the tentative grading plan; a detailed gpologiral
reconnaissance of the sill", inr.luding logging of spvpral existing cut
slopes and nalural exposures; the drilling of 3 addillonal test borings;
and the excavating of 11 test pits at representative locations. TIlE'
• test borings were made wi th a six-inch diameter truck-mounted power
auger and the test pits were advanced with a 2!f-inch wide t1-actor
mounted bar.khoe. The excavations and borings were made at the
approximate locations shown on the attached plan under the superv Ision
of an engineering geologist from our firm who also made the geologir
reconnaissance of the site and-logged the cut slopes. Our rer.ent flf'ld
work was done during tbe period of March 8 through 26, 19/7. 111(>
borings, Lest pits and field work welP done with the aid of "A Rpvised
Tentativp Subdivision Ma_p for Carlsbad Tract No. 76-Catlsbad Pal isndps,"
pIPpared by Al fTpd B. Ostprhups, datr'd Feblll<lry 9, 1977.
LABORATORY TESTS
'nH~ samples obtained in the borings and pits were visually
classified in the laboratory and reptesentaive samples were evaluated
with respect to grain size, plasticity, swelling and compressibility
charactetistics. The visual classifications were verified by results of
gtain size and Atterberg limits detetmination. Swelling characteristics
were evaluated by loaded swell tests on both undisturbc;d and compacted
snmples. Compressibi.lity was estimated by a confined compression test
on a sample of porolls alluvial soil. The results of grain sizp and
p]nsllcity tests nre prespntf'd on FiglHf' 19. Thf' [f'sults of [oadpd
swell tests and the confined cornp1ession test ale found on FlguIPS 20
and 21, respectivf'ly.

SOIL CLASSIFICATION
Soil Classifications are based on the Unified Soil Classification System
and inel ude color, mo isture and consistency. Field descript ions have
been modified to reflect results of laboratory analyses where
appropriate.
DISTURBED SAMPLE LOCATION
Obtained by collecting the auger cuttings in a plastic or cloth bag.
UNDISTURBED SAMPLE LOCATION
MODIFIED CALIFORNIA SAMPLER
Sample with recorded blows per foot was obtained with a Modified
California drive sampler (2" inside diameter. 2.5" outside diameted
lined with sample tubes. The sampler was driven into the soil at the
bottom of the hole with a 140 pound hammer falling 30 inches.
