GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
WINDSONG SHORES
SOUTHERN TERMINUS OF HARBOR DRIVE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the
subj ect proj ect to be 1 oca ted at the southern termi nus of HarborDri ve in
the City of Carlsbad, California. The site location is shown on the
vicinity map provided on the following Figure Number 1.
It is our understanding that the site will be developed to receive a
condominium complex consisting of two-story and three-story structures over
single level underground parking garages. Shallow foundations as well as
conventional slab-on-grade floor systems are antiCipated. From
conversations with the project's structural engineer, it is our
understandin~ that maximum column loads will be in the order of 470 kips.
Maximum perimeter and i nteri or conti·nuous footi ngs will be approximately
8,700 plf and 14,400 plf, respectively. Masonry retaining walls up to 12
feet high are proposed. With the except; on of cuts for the underground . .
parking garage,. grading will be minor and consist ·of cuts and fills less
than five feet deep. / .~4
(
To assist in the preparation of this report, we were provided with a set of
undated archi tectural drawings prepared by Lorimer Case Archi tects. tn
addition we have reviewed the following reports:

FINDINGS
SITE DESCRIPTION
'. The project si te consi sts of a nearly rectangul ar shaped parcel of 1 and,
approximately ten acres in size, that is l.ocated in Carl sbad, California.
The site is bounded on the north by residential property and the Harbor
Dri ve cul-de-sac, on the east by Interstate 5, on the south by Agua
Hedionda lagoon, and on the west by the A.T. and S.F. railroad tracks. The
site consists of an essentially level northern portion ranging from 125 to .
230 feet in width bounded by the south-facing slope which has a slope ratio
of approximately 2 to 1 (horizontal to vertical distance) and a maximum
height of 50 feef:-On:site e'levations "ran-g'e from-10 'feet "CMSL) along Agua
Hedionda lagoon to approximately 60 feet (MSL) on the level northern
portion. A small cut and fill pad has been graded at the top of the eastern
portion of the slope. This has resulted on a 1.5:1 fill slope extending to
an estimated height of ten feet. There are soil stockpiles up to five feet
in height located along the top of the slope east of Harbor Drive and on
the eastern portion of the si teo Vegetation consi sts of a 11 ght to heavy
growth of grasses, a fruit and palm tree orchard with bamboo on the western
porti on and a heavy growth of shrubs and a few trees on the south facing
slope. ., .....

.~.Q~ deposits of sedimentary origin. The sediments in the area of the
proposed buildings consist of Quaternary marine terrace deposits comprised
. of reddish brown and yellowish brQwn, hUllid, to moist, medium dense, silty
sands, s1.i ghtly silty sands and sands. Terti ary-age sedi ments of the
Santiago Formation underlie the Quaternary materials at a depth of 14.5 to· . ,
17.5 feet. The Santiago Formation consists of tan-gray, humid, dense to
very dense, silty sandstone. End-dumped fill stockpiles exist along the top
'of the slope east of Harbor Drive. In-addition, a min~r fill slope ex'ists
at the top of the eastern slope portion of the slope.
TECTONIC SETTING: No fau1 ts are known to traverse the subject site. but it
should be noted that IOOch of Southern California, including San Diego
County, is characterized by a series of Quaternary-age fault zones whi,ch
typically consist of several individual, en echelon faults that generally
strike in a northerly to northwesterly di recti on. Some of these fau1 t
zones (and the individual faults within the zones) are classified as active
while others are classified as only potentially active according to . the
criteria of the California Division of Mines and Geology. Active fault
zones are those which have shown conclusive evidence of faulting during the
Holocene Epoch (the most recent 11,000 years) whil e potenti ally acti ve
fault zones have demostrated movement during the Pleistocene Epoch (11,000
to two million years before the present) but no movement during Holocene
time.
A review of available geologic maps indicate that the site is 0.25 mile
southeast of a small unnamed faul t. In addi ti on, the Rose Canyon Faul t
Zone is located 5-1/2 miles to the west. Recent earthquake activity along
faults in the southern extension of the Rose Canyon Fault Zone indicates
that thi s zone caul d be cl assi fi ed as acti ve. The recent sei smi c events
along a small portion of the Rose Canyon Fault ~one generated earthquakes
of magnitude 4.0 or less. Other active fault -zones in the region that
could possibly affect ~he site include the Coronad~ Banks'and San Clemente , ~
Faul t Zones to the west, the El si nore and San ~jaci nto Faul t Zones to the
northeast, and tha Agua Blanca and San Miguel Fault Zones to the south.

"GROUNDWATER: No groundwater was encountered in our exploratory trenches but \1:,. "" ,. .
perched water has previously been noted to occur along low-permeability
. layers in the Santiago Formation during previous investigations. No major
, '
groundwate!" problems are anticipated either during or after construction.
However, it shoul d be recognized that mi nor groundwater seepage probl ems
may occur after development of a site even where n~~e ,were present before
development. These are usually minor phenomena and are often the result of
an alteration of the permeability characteristics of the soil, an
alteration in drainage patterns and an increase in irrigation water.
Based on the penneability characteristics of the soil and the anticipated
usage of the development, it is our opinion that any seepage problems which
, .
may occur will be minor in extent. It is further our opinion that these
problems can be most effectively corrected on an individual basis, if and
when they develop.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
GENERAL: The site is located in an area which is relatively free of
potential geologic hazards. Hazards such as tsunamis, seiches, liquefac-
tion, or deep-seated landsliding should be considered negligible or
nonexistent.
GROUNDSHAKING:, One of the most likely geologic hazards to affect the site
is groundshaking as a resul t of movement along one of the faul t zones
menti oned above. The maximum bedrock accel era ti ons that woul d, be
attributed to a maximum probabl e earthquake occurring along the nearest
portion of selected fault zones that could affect the site are summarized
in the following table.

: 'E~rthquakes on the Rose Canyon or Coronado Banks Faul t Zones are expected '\ '
to be relatively minor. Major seismic events are likely to be the result
. of movement along the Elsinore, San Jacinto or San Clemente Fault Zones. In
addition, we have analyzed the fault zones which could affect the project
,site in order to determine the probability of gr,oundshaking of any given
level. The individual faults and difterent fault ,zones have slip rates
which have been calculated to range from very low to very high rates of
activity.

0.15 9 0.10 9 5 x 10 -1 .---
0.10 9 0.07 9 1 x 10 -0
Probability of occurrence is defined as the probability of any given event
occurri ng duri ng the assumed 1 i fe of the proposed structures (SO years)
which would occur in accelerations of that level.
Experi ence has shown that structures that are constructed in accordance
with Uniform Building Code Standards are fairly resistant to seismic
related hazards. It is, therefore, our opinion that structural damage is
unlikely if such b'uildings are designed and constructed in accordance with
the' minimum standards of the most recent editi o~ of the Uniform Buil din9
Code. '\"";' '

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
. GENERAL
In general, no geotechnical soil conditions were. encountered which would . .
preclude the development of the site as presently proposed, provided the
recommendations presented herein are followed.
The main geotechnical consideration of site development is the cohesionless
nature of the bul k of exi sti ng terrace deposi ts underlyi ng the si te at
depths rangi ng from two feet to ten feet. Th is condi ti on will a ff ect the
stability of temporary slopes as well as footing and utility line
excavations. The terrace deposits at foundation levels have moderately ~o
good foundation support characteris~ics. The Santiago Formation sandstones
encollntered at an average depth of 15 feet below exi sti n9 grades have
excellent foundation characteristics. Therefore, a substantial bearing
capaci ty increase coul d be real i zed if the footi ngs woul d be founded in
said sandstones. This will substantially reduce the footing sizes. Howev.er, .
the increase in footing depth may result in increased sloughing of the
excavati ons. RecolTIDendati ons for both a1 ternati ves are prov; ded herein. An'
additional consideration is our experience with similar soil condi.tions
which indicates that terrace'-deposits are highly heterogeneous and··that
zones of porous material should be anticipated. Slightly porous deposits
were encountered at proposed foundati on 1 evel sin only Bori ng Number 2.
However, all footings should be observed by a representative from this
office. If porous soils are encountered, deeper footings will be necessary.
The site is underlain by topsoils and/or loose terrace deposits extending
to a depth of one·foot. In addition relatively minor end-dumped fnl and a· .
small fill slope exist at the eastern portion of ~he site. this ma~erial is
considered unsuitable, in its present condition, for foundation support and
. will requi re removal al')d repl acement as compacted·-~fill. Si nce most of the
proposed improvements will be founded bel ow ~'rade, the extent of thi s
operation will be very minor.

"GRADING 't.... \
• SITE PREPARATION: Site preparation should begin with the removal from the
, '
area of the site to be developed of existing deleterious matter and
vegetati on. Exi sti ng topsoil s fill and loose terrace deposi ts shoul d be
removed to firm natural ground. It is estimated that the average removal
depth will be one foot. Firm natural ground is defined as undisturbed soil
having a minimum in-place density of 85 percent as determined in accordance
with ASTM 01557-78 Method A or C. The bottom of the excavations should be
scarified to a depth of 12 inches, watered thoroughly and recompactedto at
least 90 percent. The stockpiled soils should then be placed in thin
compacted 1 ayers (uncompacted thi ckness of si x inches to ei ght inches)
until desired elevations are reached. The existing minor fill slope at t~e
eastern portion of the site should be removed or replaced as compacted fill
or th~y should be restored to its original inclination.
SURFACE DRAINAGE: It is recommended that all surface -drainage' be
directed away from the proposed .structures and the top of slopes. Water -.....
ponding should not be allowed adjacent to foundation.
EARTHWORK.: All earthwork and gradi ng contempl ated for' si te preparati on
should be accomplished in accordance with the attached Recommended Grading
Specifications and Special Provisions. All special site prepara~ion
recommendations presented in the sections above will supersede those in the
standard Recommended Gradi ng Speci fi cati ons. All embankments J structural
fill and fill should be compacted to at least 90~ relative compaction at or
slightly over optimum moisture content. Utility trench backfill within five
feet of the proposed structures and beneath asphal t pavements shoul d be
compacted to minimum of 90% of its maximum dry densi'ty. The upper twel ve
inches of subgrade beneath paved areas should be, compacted -to 95% of its .
maximum dry densi ty. Thi s compacti on shoul d be ',' obta i ned by the pavi ng
i .Jt.f. contractor just prior to placing the aggregate base'material and should not
'l.., • be part of the mass grading requirements. The maximum dry density ,of each
soil type should be determined in accordance with A.S.T.M. Test Method
0-1557-78, Method A or C.

'\ ' 'SL.O?E STABILITY
"GENERAL: The subject site is bounded to the south by a natural slope
extending to a maximum height of 50 feet with an average inclination of 2:1
(horizontal to vertical). O~r findings indicate that soil s exposed on the
slope consist of terrace deposits and Santiago Formation deposits. The
1 atter consi st predomi nant1y of massi ve very dense sandstones wi th very
minor, hard claystone and siltstone lenses and comprises' approximately the
lower two-thirds of the slope. Our findings indicate that no evi.dence
exists of slope instability. Based on this and a slope stability analysis
assuming homogeneous soil conditions, it is our opinion th~t the existing
slope possesses an adequate factor of safety with respect to deep seated
rotational failure (see Plate Number 20). It is our understanding that a 2,5
foot structural setback from the top of this slope will be maintained. A
-minor' 1~5:1 fill slope extending to an estimated height of ten feet exists
at the top of.the natural slope east from Harbor Drive. This slope will be
removed or replaced as a compacted fill slope with a 2:1 inclination.
Furthermore, it is our opi ni on that cut ~and fi 11 slopes constructed at a'
2:1 (horizontal to vertical) inclination will also possess adequate factors
of safety to heights of at least ten feet.
TEMPORARY SLOPES: A large portion of existing terrace-deposits was found to
consist of cohesionless, friable, slightly silty sand and sands. This
condition will require flatter than usual temporary slopes. It is
recommended that temporary cut slopes up to a maximum height of 15 feet be
constructed at a continuous 1:1 inclination. Furthermore, no surcharge
loads shoul d be p1 aced wi thi n a di stance from the top of temporary slopes
equal to ten feet. All temporary slopes shoul d be observed by a
representative from our offi ce to ascertain that no adverse cond; ti ons
exist •
FOUNDATIONS ..It-. : ,
GENERAL: Shallow foundations 'may be utilized for the support of the
proposed structures. The footings should have a minimum depth of 24 inches

. lleJ ow lowest adjacent fi ni sh grade. A mi nimum wi dth of 12 inches and 24 '\ ~ ..
. " inches is reconmended for continuous and isolated footings, respectively •
• A bearing capacity of 4000 psf and 7000 psf may be assumed for footings
founded in terrace deposits or Santiago Formation deposits, respectively.
M'inimum embedment in Santiago Formation. deposits should be six inches. In
. .
thi s case the zone between the bottom of the footi ng and the bottom of
conventional footings (24 inches below lowest adjacent finish grade) may be
backfilled with a lean (three sack) concrete mix. This bearing capacity 'may
be increased by one-third when considering wind and/or seismic forces. The
foundation excavations bearing on terrace deposits should be flooded prior
to concrete placement.
REINFORCEMENT: Both exteri or and i nteri or conti nuous footi ngs shoul d ~e
reinforced with two 14.bars positioned near the bottom of the footing and
two 14 bars positioned near the top of the footing. This reinforcement is
based on soil characteristics and is not intended to be in lieu of
reinforcement necessary ,to· sati sfy structural consi derati ons.
FOUNDATION EXCAYAiION .:OBSERYATION: All foundati on excavations shou1 d be
observed by a representati ve from thi s offi ce pri or to the pl acement of
forms or reinforcement ·stee1. The purpose of this is to ascertain that the
footings extend into a suitable bearing stratum.
CONCRETE SLABS-ON-GRADE: Concrete sl abs-on-grade shou1 d have a mini·mum
thickness of four inches and be underlain by a four-inch blanket of clean,-
poorly graded, coarse sand or crushed rOCK. The sl ab shoul d be rei nforced.
wi th No. 3 rei nforci ng bars p1 aced at 36 inches on center each way. A
6I x6"-W1.4xW1.4 wel ded wire mesh may be uti1 ized in 1 i eu of the rebars.
Special care sho~l~ be exercised so that the mesh is placed near the
middle of the slab. Where mositure sensitive f10o~ coverings are planned, a
visqueen barrier should'be placed over the sand layer. To. allow for proper
concrete curing, the vi~queen should be overlain b~at least two inches of
sand. It is suggested that 3000 psi concrete b~ utilized. This~ is not a
structural consideration. Therefore, no special inspection is necessary.

FOUNDATION AND GRADING PLAN REVIEW
The foundation and grading p1 an .shou1 d be submi tted to this office for
review to ascertain that the Tecommendations provided in this report have
been followed and that the ·;assumptions utilized in its preparation are
still valid.
EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES
PASSIVE PRESSURE: The passive pressure for the prevailing soil conditions
m~ be considered to be 425 pounds per square foot per foot of depth. This
pressure m~ be increased one-thi rd for sei smi c 1 oadi ng. The coeffi ci ent
of friction for concrete to fill or terrace deposits may be assumed to be
0.3 for the resistance to lateral movement. This value may be increased to
0.4 for footings founded on Santiago Formation deposits. When combining
frictional and passive resistance, the latter should be reduced by
one-third. When calculating passive pressures on exterior retaining walls,
the upper 12 inche's' of soil shoul d not be consi dered.
ACTIVE PRESSURE: The active soil pressure for the design of unrestrained
earth retaining stru~tures with level backfi1rs may be ~ssumed to be
equivalent to the pressure of a fluid weighin~' 31 pcf. F~r restrained
walls, 50 pcf should be assumed. Alternative design values for restrained
conditions are provided in the following Figure 2.

REVIEW, OBSERVATION AND TESTING
The recommendations presented in this report are contingent upon our review
of final plans and specifications. The soil engineer and engineering
geologist should review and verify the cOlllPliance of the final grading plan
with this report and with Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building Code.
It is· recommended that,.Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc. be retained
to provide continuous~soi1 engineering services during the earthwork
operations. This is to observe compliance with the design concepts,
specifications or recommendations and to allow design changes in the event
that subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to start of
construction.
UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS
The recommendations and opinions expressed in this report reflect our best
estimate .of the project requi rements ·based on an eva1 uati on of the
subsurface soil conditions encountered at the subsurface e~ploration
locations and the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate
appreciably from those encountered. It shou1 d be recognized that the
performance of the' foundations and/or cut and fill slopes may be influenced
by undisclosed or unfo.reseen vari ati ons in the ,soil condi ti ons that may
occur in the intermediate and unexplored areas. Any unusual conditions not i . ..:it •• covered in thi s report' that may be encountered· duri ng si te development
'Q.. -. shou1 d be brought to the attenti on of the soil s engineer so that he may
make modifications if necessary.

LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were perfonned in accordance wi th the generally accepted
American Society for Testing and Materials (A.S.T.M.) test methods or
suggested procedures. A brief description of the tests performed is '
presented below:
a) CLASSIFICATION: Fiel d classifications were verified in the
laboratory by visual examination. The final soil
classifications are in accordance wi th the Unified So11
Classification System.
b) MOISTURE-DENSITY: Field moisture content and dry density were
determined for representative samples obtained. This
information was an aid to c1'assification and permitted
recognition of variations in material consistency with depth.
The dry unit weight is determined in pounds per cubic foot, and
the field moisture content is detennined as a percentage of the
soil's dry wei ght. The resu1 ts are sUlIIIJari zed in the bori ng
logs.
c) GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION: The grain size distribution was
determined for representative samples of the native soils in
accordance with A. S. T .M. Standard Test .. 0-422. The resu1 ts of
these tests are presented on Plate Number 13.
d} EXPANSION INDEX TEST: An expansion index test on remolded
samp1 es was perfonned on representative sainp1 es of soil s likely .. to be used as compacted fill. The test was performed on the
portion of the sample passing the 14 st~ndard sieve. The sample .
was brought 'to optimum moisture content then dried, back to' a
I • .JtJ' ,-'. constant moi/sture content for 12 hours' at 230 +/-9 degrees
Fahrenheit. The specimen was then com~acted in a 4-inch-diameter
mold in two equal layers by means of a tamper, then trimmed to a
fi na 1 hei ght of 1 inch, and brought to a saturati on of

approximately 50~. The specimen was placed in a consolidometer
with porous stones at the top and bottom, a total nonnal load of
12.63 pounds was placed (144.7 psf), and the sample was allowed
to consolidate for a period of 10 minutes. The sample was
allowed to become saturated, and the change in vertical movement
was recorded until the rate of expansion became nominal. The
expansion index is reported on the attached Plate Number 14 as
the total vertical displacement times the fraction' of the sample
passing the #4 sieve times 1000.

,e) DIRECT SHEAR TESTS: ,Direct shear tests were performed to
determine the failure envelope based on yield -sh'ear strength.
The shear box was designed to accomodate ,a sample having
diameters of 2.375 inches or 2.50 inches and a height of 1.0
inch. Samples were tested at different verti.ca1 loads and a
saturated moi sture content. The shear stress "was appl i ed at a
constant rate of strain of approximately 0.05 inch per minute.
The results of these tests are presented on attachedPl ates
Number 15 and 16.

RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS -GENERAL PROVISIONS
, .,',. ,GENERAL INTENT
The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures for clearing",
compacting natural ground, preparing areas to be filled, and placing and
compacting fill soils to the lines a~d grades shown on the accepted plans.
The recommendations contained in the preliminary geotechnical ,investigation
report and/or the attached Special Provisions are a part of the Recommended
Gradi ng Speci fi cati ons and shall supersede the provi si ons contai ned
hereinafter in the case of confH ct. These specifi cati ons 'shall only be
used in conjunction with the geotechnical report for which they are a part.
No deviation from these specifications will be allowed, except where , ,.
specified in the geotechnical soil report or in other written communication'
sign~d by the Soil Engineer.
OBSERVATION AND TESTING
Southern California Soil and Testing, Inc., shall be retained as the Soil
Engineer to observe and test the earthwork in accordance with these
specifications. It will ~e necessary that the Soil Engineer or his,
representative provi de adequate observati on so that he may provide an
opinion that the,'work was or was not accomplished as specified. It shall
be the responsibility of the contractor to assist the soil engineer and to
keep him appraised of work schedules, changes and new information and data
so that he may provi de these opi ni ons., In the event that any unus'ual
conditions not covered by the special provisions or preliminary soil report
are encountered duri ng the gradi ng opera ti ons, the Soil Engi neer shan be
contacted for further recommendations.
If, in the opinion of the Soil Engineer, substandard conditions are "\"; .. ;" ..
encountered, such as; t questi onab1 e or unsui ta,R.1 e soil, unacceptab1 e . / ,.,

Test methods used to determi-ne the degree of compaction should be performed
in accordance with the following American Society for Testing and Materi'als
test methods:
Maximum Density & Optimum Moisture Content -A.S.T.M. 0-1557-78.
Density of Soil In-Place -A.S.T.M. 0-1556-64 or.A.S.T.M. 0-2922.
All densities shall be expressed in terms of Relative Compaction as
determined by the foregoing A.S.T.M. testing procedures.
PREP~TION OF AREAS TO RECEIVE FIll
All vegetation, brush and debris derived from clearing operatipns
shall be removed, and 1 egally di sposed of. All areas di stlirbed by si t~
grading should be left in a neat and finished appearance, free from
unsightly debris.
After clearing or benching, the natural ground in areas to be filled shall
be scarified to a depth "of 6 inches, brought to the proper moisture
content, compacted and tested for the minimum degree of compaction in the"
Special Provisions or the recommendation contained in the preliminary
geotechnical investigation report. All loose soils in excess of 6 inches
thick should be removed to firm natural ground which is defined as natural
soils which possesses an in-situ density of at least 9~ of its maximum dry
density.
When the slope of the natural ground receiv\i'.~g fill exceeds 20$ (5
horizontal units to 1 vertical unit), the originah'ground shall be stepped ( ,.

Any abandoned buried structures encountered during g~ading operations must
be totally removed. All underground utilities to be abandoned beneath any
proposed structure should be removed from within 10 fee~ of the structure
and properly capped off. The resul ti ng depressi ons from the above
descri bed procedures shoul d be back fill ed wi th acceptable soil that i's
comp.acted to the requirements of the Soil Engineer. This includes, but is
not limited to, septic tanks, fuel tanks, sewer lines or leach lines, storm
drains and water lines. Any buried structures or utilities not to. be
abandoned should be brought to the attention of the Soil Engineer so that
he may .determine if any special recommendation will be necessary.
All water wells which will be abandoned should be backfilled and capped in
accordance to the requi rements set forth by the Soil Engi neer. The top o"f
the cap should be at least 4 feet below finish grade or 3 feet below the'
bottom of footing whichever is greater. The type of cap will depend on the.

1.0 • Provisions. Expansive soils, soils of poor gradation, or soilS with low
strength characteristics may be thoroughly mixed with other soils t?
provide satisfactory fill material, but only with the explicit consent of
the soil engineer. Any import material shall be approved by the 50;1
Engineer before being brought to the site.
PLACING AND COMPACTION OF FILL
Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in
layers not to exceed 6 inches in compacted thicKness. Each layer shal,l
have a uniform moisture content in the range that will allow the compaction
effort to be efficiently applied to achieve the specified degree of
compaction. Each layer shall be uniformly compacted to a minimum'specified
degree of compaction with equipment of adequate size to economically
compact the layer. Compaction equipment should either be specifically
designed' for soil compaction or of proven reliability. The minimum degree
of compaction to be achieved is specified in either the Special Provisions
or the recommendations contained in the preliminary geotechnical
investigation report.
When the structural fill material includes rocks, no rocks will be a'llowed
to nest and all voi ds must be carefully fi 11 ed wi th sO'il such that the
minimum degree of cOlDp~ction recolllDended in the Special Provisions. is
achieved. The raaxi/ll.lm size and spacing of rock permitted in structural·
fills and in non-structural fills is discussed in the geotechnical report,
when appl icable.
Fi el d observation and compacti on tests to estimate the degree of compacti,on
of the fill will be taken by the Soil Engineer or;: .. his representative. The
location and frequency of the tests shall be a'.t the Soil Engineer's

. -the satisfaction of the Soil Engineer and until the desired relative
compaction has been obtained.
Fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepsfoot rollers or other
suitabl e equipment. Compacti on by sheepsfoot roll ers shall be at ver,tical
intervals of not greater than four feet. In addition, fill slopes at
ratios of two horizontal to one vertical or flatter, should be trackrolled.
Steeper fill slopes shall be over-buil t and cut-back to finish contours
after the slope has been constructed. Slope compaction operations shalJ
result in all fill material six or more inches inward from the ffnished
face of the slope having a rel ative compaction of at 1 east 90~ of maximum.

speci·fication. The compaction operation on the slopes shall be continued
until the Soil Engineer is of the opinion that the slopes will be stable in
regards to surficial stability.
.. Slope tests will be made by the Soil s Engineer during construction of the
slopes to determine if the required compaction is being achieved. Where
failing tests occur or other field problems arise, the Contractor will be'
notified that day of such conditions by written communication from the Soil
Engineer or his representative in the form of a daily field report.
"If the lIIethod of achieving the required slope compaction selected by the
Contractor fail s to produce the necessary resul ts, the Contractor shall
rework or rebuild such slopes. until. the required degree of compaction is
obtained, at no cost to the Owner or Soils Engineer •

. "The Engineering Geologist shall inspect cut slopes excavated in rock or
lithified formational material during the grading operations at intervals
determined at his discretion. If any conditions not anticipated in the
. prel iminary report such as perched water, seepage, 1 enti cul ar or confi ned
strata of a potentially adverse nature, unfavorably inclined bedding,
jOints or fault planes are encountered during grading, these conditions
shall be analyzed by the Engineering Geologist and Soil Engineer to
determine if mitigating measures are necessary.
Unless otherwise specified in the geotechnical report, no cut slopes shall
be excavated hi gher or steeper than that allowed by the ordi nances of the
controlling governmental agency.
ENGINEERING OBSERVATION
Field observation by the Soil Engineer or his representative shall be made
during the filling and compacting operations so that he can, express his . .
opinion regarding the conformance of the grading with acceptable standards
of practice. The presence of the Soil Engi neer or hi s representative or
the observation and testing shall not release the Grading Contractor from
his duty to compact all fill material to the specified degree of
compaction.
SEASON LIMITS
Fill shall not be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. When work
is interrupted by heavy rain, filling operations shall not be resumed until
the ~roper moisture content and densi ty of the fill material s can be'
achf eved. Damaged site condi ti ons resu1 ti ng froJjJ, .. weather or acts of God
shall be repaired befor~; acceptance of work. '.:~'

RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS -SPECIAL PROVISIONS
}.. " '.
l....,. " • RELATIVE COMPACTION: The minimum degree of compaction to be obtained in
compacting natural ground, in the compacted fill, and in the compacted
backfill shall be at least 90 percent. For street and parking lot
subgrade, the upper six inches should be compacted to at least 95% relative'
compaction.
EXPANSIVE SOILS: Detrimentally expansive soil is defined as clayey soil
which has an expansion index of 50 or greater when tested in accordance
with the Uniform Building Code Standard 29-C.
OVERSIZED MATERIAL: Oversized fi 11 rna teri ali s generally defi ned herei n as
rocks or lumps of soil over 6 inches in diameter. Oversize· materials
should not be placed in fill unless reconmendations of placement of such
material is provided by the soils engineer. At least 40 percent of the fill
soils shall pass through a No. 4 u.S. Standard Sieve.
TRANSITION LOTS: Where transi ti ons between cut and fill occur within the
proposed buil ding pad, the cut porti on shoul d be undercut a minimum of one
foot below the base of the proposed footings and recompacted as structural
backfill. In certain cases that would be addressed in the geotechnical
report, special footing reinforcement or a combination of special footing
reinforcement and undercutting may be required.
