Attention: Mr. Dennis M. Ferdig
Subject: Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation, Magnolia Gardens Development, City
of Carlsbad, California.
Gentlemen,
In accordance with your request and authorization, GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) has performed a
geotechnical and geologic evaluation regarding proposed development of the subject
property. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the nature of earth materials
underlying the site and to provide preliminary recommendations for site preparation,
earthwork construction, and foundation design/construction, based on our findings.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Based on our review of the available reference data (Appendix A), field exploration,
laboratory testing, and geologic and engineering analysis, the proposed development
appears to be feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint, provide the recommendations
presented in the text of this report are properly incorporated into the design and
construction of the project. The most significant elements of this study are summarized
below:
1. Soils unsuitable for the support of structures and/or compacted fill in their existing
state generally consist of topsoil, slopewash, alluvium, and existing fills. Where
observed, topsoils are on the order of 1/2 to 1 feet thick while alluvium varies up to
10 feet in thickness.
2. Planned cut and fill slopes are considered to be generally stable, assuming that
these slopes are maintained and/or constructed in accordance with
recommendations presented in this report.
3. Traces of subsurface water (i.e., perched groundwater) was encountered locally in
the excavations completed during site work. This slight seepage appears to be
related to irrigation in active greenhouses onsite, and/or associated with the existing
storm drain utility. Perched groundwater conditions may not be precluded from
occurring in the future from site irrigation, poor drainage or damaged utilities.
4. Terrace deposits (consisting of moderately friable sands) or granular fills could be
encountered during utility main trench construction. Precautions should be
incorporated into the construction of trenches into these materials, including, but
not limited to: shoring, or laying back excavation slopes.
5. Existing onsite sewage disposal system(s), associated with existing agricultural
support structures onsite may be encountered during site grading.
6. Corrosion testing of representative site soils indicates that these soils are generally
classified as having a moderate to slight corrosion potential with respect to
corrosion potential.
7. Site soils are very low in expansive potential.
8. Based on the soil conditions observed, conventional or post-tensioned foundation
systems could likely be used to support any proposed structure.
9. The recommendations presented in this report should be incorporated into the
design and construction considerations of the project.
The opportunity to be of service is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions
concerning this report or if we may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to

SITE DESCRIPTION
The subjectQj^j^ property is an irregular L-shaped site, consisting predominantly of
active greenhouses and agricultural support structures. The site, situated east of the San
Diego Freeway (1-5) and Highland Avenue, is located west of Valley Street and north of
Magnolia Avenue in the City of Carlsbad, California (Figure 1). The property is bounded
by existing residential properties and undeveloped parcels. Access to the site is from
either Magnolia Avenue or Valley Street.
Topographically, the western portion of the site slopes gently east, with a natural gradient
of less than 8:1 (horizontal to vertical). Elevations in this area range from 172 feet Mean
Sea Level (MSL) along the western site boundary, to 152 feet MSL along the existing storm
drain easement. The relatively level eastern portion of the property slopes very gently to
the west, with elevations ranging 176 feet MSL near Valley Street, to 152 feet MSL along
the existing storm drain easement.

SITE LOCATION MAP
Figure 1
The site is currently used for agricultural purposes. In addition to cultivated ground within
greenhouses that cover the majority of the site, existing improvements include
surface/near-surface irrigation systems, agricultural chemical storage structures, and
product packing/storage facilities. Trash containers, metal drums and plastic buckets were
observed in and around the onsite structures. In addition, an above ground storage tank
and numerous parked vehicles (in various stages of repair) were noted in the vicinity of the
packing/storage facilities (i.e, Lots 11 and 12). Roadways observed are dirt with local
gravel areas. Concrete inlet boxes with manholes onsite delineate an existing storm drain
within the central section of the property. General site conditions are shown on the
enclosed geotechnical site map (Plate 1), which utilizes a 1"=40' scale tentative map by
Crosby Meade Benton and Associates, as a base map (undated).
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Based upon the above mentioned tentative map, proposed development will consist of site
preparation for the construction of^H^ingle family residential lots (Lots 1-14), including
underground utilities and street improvements; however, specific grading plans are
currently unavailable. It is our understanding that the proposed structures would consist
of one and/or two-story buildings, with continuous footings, and slabs-on-grade, utilizing
wood-frame construction. Building loads area assumed to be typical for these types of
relatively light structures.
Cut and fill grading techniques are anticipated to be used to develop building sites for the
planned structures and roadways. Based upon existing topography, it is anticipated that
planned cuts and fills should be less than 10 feet in height, and should be constructed at
gradients of 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter.
FIELD EXPLORATION
Subsurface conditions were explored for this study by excavating seven (7) test pits with
a rubber tire backhoe to depths ranging from 21/2 to 15 feet below existing grades. Logs
of the test excavations are included with this report in Appendix B. Field work was
performed on July 16, 1998 by a GSI certified engineering geologist, who logged the
excavations, obtained samples of representative materials for laboratory testing and
reviewed the site conditions. The approximate locations of the test excavations are
indicated on the enclosed Geotechnical Map (Plate 1).
EARTH MATERIALS
Earth materials encountered during field work consist of artificial fill, colluvium/topsoil (i.e.,
topsoil and slopewash), alluvium, and native soils composed of Pleistocene-age terrace
deposits.

Artificial fill (map symbol Af)
Existing artificial fill primarily occurs within (and adjacent to) the existing storm drain
easement in the central portion of the property. Overall, the maximum depth of fill soils
associated with this utility main is estimated to be on the order of 10 feet (or less). Based
solely on test pit data, fill thickness was on the order of 11/2 feet; however, test pits were not
excavated within the utility easement. The general distribution of existing fill is shown on
Plate 1.
Where encountered in our exploratory test pits, artificial fill consists of light to dark brown
silty sand. In general, soil fill materials are moist to wet and loose. Areas where trash and
vegetation debris was encountered were in the vicinity of test pits TP-5 and TP-6. Where
observed, this material was less than 2 feet thick.
Colluvium/Topsoil (not mapped)
Colluvium/topsoil consisting of brown silty sands occur throughout the site as a thin
surficial layer on the order of 1 to 3 feet thick. These materials are typically dry to moist
and loose, and are not suitable for the support of settlement sensitive structures in their
present condition. Buried topsoils were also observed to locally underlie existing fills and
have similar engineering properties to the surficial topsoils.
Alluvium (map symbol Qal)
Alluvial sediments encountered onsite consisted predominantly of dark brown, moist, loose
to medium dense, silty sands. Locally, seepage was noted near the contact with the
underlying terrace materials near the storm drain easement. These materials are typically
not suitable for the support of settlement sensitive structures in their present condition.
Lindavista Formation (map symbol QM
Pleistocene-age terrace deposits of the Lindavista Formation appear to underlie the entire
site near the surface and at depth. Where observed in our exploratory test pits, these
materials consist of orange brown to brown silty sands and sands. Terrace deposits are
typically slightly moist to moist and medium dense. Some discontinuous laminations
observed within otherwise massive terrace deposits, are weakly developed and generally
subhorizontal. These materials are suitable for support of settlement sensitive structures,
provided the highly weathered near-surface portion is removed/reprocessed.
SUBSURFACE WATER
Subsurface water (perched?) was locally encountered in excavations near the storm drain
easement in the lower elevations of the property. Generally, the subsurface water
consisted of a slight seepage and/or traces of "free" water (i.e., interstitial). These
observations reflect site conditions at the time of our investigation and do not preclude

changes in local or perched groundwater conditions in the future from heavy irrigation,
precipitation, other factors not obvious at the time of our field work.
FAULTING AND REGIONAL SEISMICITY
No known active or potentially active faults are shown crossing the site on published maps
(Jennings, 1994). No evidence for active or potentially active faulting was encountered in
any of the exploratory excavations performed during this evaluation or in our referenced
report.
There are a number of faults in the Southern California area which are considered active
and would have an effect on the site in the form of ground shaking, should they be the
source of an earthquake. These include, but are not limited to: the San Andreas fault, the
San Jacinto fault, the Elsinore fault, the Coronado Bank fault zone and the Rose Canyon -
Newport-lnglewood (RCNI) fault zone. The approximate location of these and other major
faults relative to the site are presented in Appendix C. The possibility of ground
acceleration, or shaking, at the site may be considered as approximately similar to the
southern California region as a whole.
The acceleration-attenuation relations of Joyner and Boore (1982) and Campbell et. al.
(1994) have been incorporated into EQFAULT (Blake, 1994). EQFAULT is a computer
program used for the deterministic evaluation of horizontal accelerations from digitized
California faults.
Peak horizontal ground site accelerations anticipated at the site were determined, based
on the attenuation relations indicated above. The largest probable and credible repeatable
peak horizontal ground accelerations anticipated at the site would range from 0.27 g to
0.39 g and 0.48 g to 0.55 g, respectively, assuming maximum probable and upper bound
("maximum credible") events of magnitude 5.9 and 7.0, respectively, on the Rose Canyon-
Newport-lnglewood fault zone, located approximately 2.5 miles west of the site.
Seismic Shaking Parameters
Based on the site conditions, Chapter 16 of the Uniform Building Code (International
Conference of Building Officials, 1997), and Peterson and others (1996), the following
seismic parameters are provided.

LABORATORY TESTING
General
Laboratory tests were performed on representative samples of the onsite earth materials
in order to evaluate their physical characteristics. The test procedures used and results
obtained are presented below.
Moisture-Density Relations
The maximum density and optimum moisture content was determined for the major soil
types encountered in the test pits. The laboratory standard used was ASTM D-1557.
Results of this testing are presented on the test pit logs log in Appendix B.
Laboratory Standard-Maximum Dry Density
To determine the compaction character of a representative sample of onsite soil, laboratory
testing was performed in accordance with ASTM test method D-1557. Test results are
presented in the following table:

currently required; and Type II, IP (MS), or IS (MS) concrete may be utilized. Based on
the above resistivity and pH, site soils are neutral and have a moderate to slight corrosivity
based on the range of the test results. Moderately corrosive soils are considered to be
between 2,001 and 5,000 ohms-cm. Slightly corrosive soils are considered to be between
10,001 and 25,000 ohms-cm. The laboratory test results for corrosivity testing are
presented in Appendix D.
CONCLUSIONS
General
Based on our field exploration, laboratory testing and geotechnical engineering analysis,
it is our opinion that the property appears suitable for the proposed development from a
geotechnical engineering and geologic viewpoint, provided that the recommendations
presented in the following sections are incorporated into the design and construction

phases of site development. The primary geotechnical concerns with respect to the
proposed development are:
• Depth to competent material.
Overexcavation of cut-fill transitions.
Potential for perched groundwater.
Corrosion potential of site soils.
Regional seismicity.
Additional conclusions regarding the site are presented in the following discussions.
Earth Materials
Existing Fill:
Where encountered in test pits onsite, existing undocumented fill materials (map symbol
Af) onsite are loose and generally do not appear to meet the current industry minimum
standard of 90 percent (or greater) relative compaction. Existing undocumented fill is not
suitable for support of settlement sensitive structures unless this material is removed,
cleaned of debris, moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture content, and placed
as fill compacted to a minimum 90 percent relative compaction. Existing fill onsite is
generally very low in expansive potential.
Terrace Deposits:
Weathered terrace deposits are loose and porous and are not suitable for the support of
settlement sensitive structures unless these materials are removed, cleaned of debris,
moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture content, and placed as fill compacted
to a minimum 90 percent relative compaction. Terrace deposits suitable for the support
of structure and/or structural fills are present beneath the near surface weathered horizon.
Existing terrace deposits onsite are generally very low in expansive potential.
Slope Stability
Based on our field investigations, laboratory testing and engineering analysis, planned cut
and fill slopes should be stable with respect to gross and surficial stability provided that the
slopes are constructed in accordance with the minimum requirements of the County of San
Diego, City of Carlsbad, the Uniform Building Code, and the recommendations presented
in this report.
While any proposed slope should be relatively stable, the exposed earth materials at the
slope face are considered erosive and should be protected appropriately. Specific
recommendations are presented within a later section of this report.

GeoSofls, Inc.
Subsurface Water
Subsurface water, as discussed previously, is not anticipated to affect site development,
provided that the recommendations contained in this report are incorporated into final
design and construction, and that prudent surface and subsurface drainage practices are
incorporated into the construction plans. Perched groundwater conditions along fill/terrace
deposit contacts and along zones of contrasting permeabilities should not be precluded
from occurring in the future due to site irrigation, poor drainage conditions or damaged
utilities. Should perched groundwater conditions develop, this office could assess the
affected area(s) and provide the appropriate recommendations to mitigate the observed
groundwater conditions.
Seismic Hazards
The following seismic related hazards have been considered during our evaluation of the
site. Based on our evaluation, these hazards are considered low and/or completely
mitigated as a result of site location, soil characteristics and typical site development
procedures:
• Surface Fault Rupture
• Ground Lurching or Shallow Ground Rupture
• Ridge top shattering
• Liquefaction
• Tsunami
It is important to keep in perspective that in the event of maximum probable or credible
earthquake occurring on any of the nearby major faults, intense ground shaking would
occur in this general area. Potential damage to any structures would likely be greatest
from the vibrations and impelling force caused by the inertia of a structure's mass, than
from those induced by the hazards considered above. This potential would be no greater
than that for other structures and improvements developed in the immediate vicinity.
RECOMMENDATIONS-EARTHWORK CONSTRUCTION
General Grading
The following recommendations presented below consider the conclusions discussed
above, as well as other aspects of the site (i.e., soil expansion, distribution of soil types,
soil strength, etc.). The engineering analyses performed concerning site preparation and
the recommendations presented herein, have been completed using the information
provided and obtained during our field work. In the event that any significant changes are
made to proposed site development, the conclusions and recommendations contained in
this report shall not be considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and the
recommendations of this report verified or modified in writing by this office.
Pacific Scene Financial, LLC W.O. 2484-A-SC
Magnolia Gardens August?, 1998
File:e\wp7\2400\2484a.pge Page 9
GeoSofls, Inc.
All grading should conform to the guidelines presented in Appendix Chapter A33 of the
1997 Uniform Building Code, the requirements of the City of Carlsbad, and Appendix D of
this report, except where specifically superseded in the text of this report. When code
references are not equivalent, the more stringent code should be followed.
During earthwork construction, all site preparation and the general grading procedures of
the contractor should be observed and the fill selectively tested by a representative(s) of
GeoSoils, Inc. If unusual or unexpected conditions are exposed in the field, they should
be reviewed by this office and if warranted, modified and/or additional recommendations
will be offered. All applicable requirements of local and national construction and general
industry safety orders, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Construction Safety
Act should be met.
Structures may be supported entirely on properly compacted fills or suitable native terrace
deposits. Building sites placed directly on terrace deposits should be observed by the
project geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist to verify competent and consistent
bearing materials are exposed. Based on the soil conditions observed, conventional
foundation systems may be used to support any proposed structure.
Site Preparation
Debris, vegetation and other deleterious material should be removed from building areas
prior to the start of construction. Sloping areas to receive fill should be properly benched
in accordance with our recommendations and guidelines specified in the Uniform Building
Code.
Removals
Removals in lot areas to receive fill shall consist of all existing fill and near surface
weathered terrace deposits. Based on our subsurface exploration, removals are tentatively
estimated to be on the order of 11/z to 4 feet below existing grades over a majority of the
study area. However, deeper removals, on the order of 8 to 12 feet will likely be realized
in alluvial areas along the eastern edge of Lots 1 through 5, 7, and over a majority of Lot
8. Removals of between 10 and 13 feet are estimated within the cul-de-sac street, where
the thickest undocumented fills and alluvium occur; however, removals will be limited by
the existing storm drain utility along the eastern edge of the street. Once removals are
complete, the area to receive fill should be scarified and moisture conditioned to at least
optimum moisture content, to a minimum depth of 12 inches, and compacted to a
minimum 90 percent relative compaction. Removals should be completed for a minimum
lateral distance of five (5) feet outside the extreme exterior foundation elements for any
structure or below a 1:1 projection down and away from the exterior foundation elements
to the elevation of suitable material, whichever is greater.

Magnolia Gardens August/, 1998
File:e\wp7\2400\2484a.pge Page 10
GeoSoils, Inc.
Fill Placement
Subsequent to ground preparation, onsite soils may be placed in thin (8± inch) lifts,
cleaned of vegetation and debris, brought to a least optimum moisture content, and
compacted to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent.
If soil importation is planned, a sample of the soil import should be evaluated by this office
prior to importing in order to assure compatibility with the onsite site soils and the
recommendations presented in this report. Import soils should be relatively sandy and low
expansive (i.e., expansion index less than 20).
Shrinkage/Bulking
Existing site soils are anticipated to either shrink or bulk during grading operations. In
general, it may be anticipated that existing fill will shrink 5 percent to 15 percent,
colluvium/topsoil and alluvium will shrink approximately 8 percent to 12 percent, and
existing terrace deposits will shrink or bulk 1 percent to 3 percent.
Overexcavation
Planned cut/fill transitions, juxtaposing proposed fill against native terrace deposits are
anticipated to daylight at pad grade within some of the building sites. For uniform support,
the cut portion of pad should be overexcavated in accordance with Table 1.

Areas, where proposed fills are less than the recommended overexcavation depth, should
be overexcavated in order to provide the recommended minimum fill blanket thickness.

Once overexcavations are completed, the exposed bottom should be scarified to a
minimum depth of eight (8) inches, moisture conditioned, compacted and then brought
to grade with compacted fill.
Slopes
Graded Slopes:
Proposed graded slopes may be constructed in accordance with the minimum
requirements of the County of San Diego, City of Carlsbad, the Uniform Building Code and
the recommendations presented in this report. Placement of an erosion control fabric
(e.g., jute netting), or similar protective system, over graded slope faces should be
considered in order to minimize erosion of the slope face until a suitable vegetation cover
is established.
FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
General
In the event that the information concerning the proposed development plan is not correct,
or any changes in the design, location or loading conditions of the proposed structure are
made, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report shall not be
considered valid unless the changes are reviewed and conclusions of this report are
modified or approved in writing by this office.
The information and recommendations presented in this section are not meant to
supersede design by the project structural engineer or civil engineer specializing in
structural design. Upon request, GSI could provide additional consultation regarding soil
parameters, as related to foundation design.
Design
Our field work and laboratory testing indicates that onsite soils are generally very low in
expansion potential. Preliminary recommendations for foundation design and construction
are presented below based on the assumption that low expansive materials will be used
for support of structures. The foundation system should be designed and constructed in
accordance with the guidelines contained in the Uniform Building Code. Final foundation
designs should be based upon conditions exposed following earthwork construction.
Should higher expansive materials occur at pad grade, revised foundation
recommendations would need to be provided by GSI.

Conventional Foundation Systems
Conventional spread and continuous strip footings may be used to support the proposed
structure, provided they are founded entirely in properly compacted fill or suitable terrace
deposits.
Bearing Value:
An allowable bearing value of 2000 pounds per square foot should be used for design of
continuous footings 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep and for design of isolated pad
footings 24 inches square and 18 inches deep, entirely into compacted fill or terrace
deposits. This value may be increased by 20 percent for each additional 12 inches in
depth to a maximum value of 2500 pounds per square foot. The above values may be
increased by one-third when considering short duration seismic or wind loads. No
increase, in bearing, for footing width is recommended. Residential footings should not
simultaneously bear directly on suitable native and fill soils.
Lateral Pressure
Passive earth pressure may be computed as an equivalent fluid having a density of 275
pounds per cubic foot per foot of depth, to a maximum earth pressure of 2500 pounds per
square foot. An allowable coefficient of friction between earth material (fill) and concrete
of 0.35 may be used with the dead load forces. When combining passive pressure and
frictional resistance, the passive pressure component should be reduced by one-third.
Foundation Settlement - Structural Loads
Provided that the recommendations contained in this report are incorporated into final
design and construction phase of development, a majority (>50 percent) of the anticipated
foundation settlement is expected to occur during construction. Maximum settlement is
not expected to exceed approximately Vfc-inch and should occur below the heaviest loaded
columns. Differential settlement is not anticipated to exceed 1/4-inch between similar
elements, in a 20 foot span.
Construction:
The following preliminary recommendations are for the proposed construction, in
consideration of our field investigation, laboratory testing and engineering analysis. These
construction recommendations are meant as minimums and are not intended to supersede
the recommendations of the structural engineer or corrosion specialist:
Due to the very low expansive soil conditions identified onsite, foundations should be
constructed to a minimum depth of 12 inches below lowest adjacent grade. Foundation
widths may be constructed per Uniform Building Code (UBC) guidelines. All footings
Pacific Scene Financial, LLC W.O. 2484-A-SC
Magnolia Gardens August 7, 1998
File:e\wp7\2400\2484a.pge Page 13
GeoSoils, Inc.
should be minimally reinforced with two No. 4 reinforcing bars, one placed near the top
and one placed near the bottom of the footing.
Exterior post supports should be founded at a depth of 18 inches below the lowest
adjacent grade and tied to the main foundation system with a grade beam in two
directions. Reinforcement should be properly designed by the project structural engineer.
A grade beam, reinforced as above, and a minimum of 1 square foot in cross section at
least 12 inches wide should be utilized across large entrances, such as garages or double
wide doorways. The base of the reinforced grade beam should be at the same elevation
as the bottom of adjoining footings.
Setbacks:
Foundations for any structure (including pools, etc.) should be set back from the top of any
adjacent descending slope, a distance equal to one-third the height of the slope. This
distance shall be in accordance with previously noted setbacks and need not be greater
than 40 feet.
Foundations for any adjacent structures, including retaining walls, should be deepened (as
necessary) to below a 1:1 projection upward and away from any proposed lower
foundation system. This recommendation may not be considered valid, if the additional
surcharge imparted by the upper foundation on the lower foundation has been
incorporated into the design of the lower foundation.
Additional setbacks, not discussed or superseded herein, and presented in the UBC are
considered valid.
CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE SLABS ON GRADE
Conventional Floor Slabs
The following criteria are considered minimum design parameters for the slab and they are
in no way intended to supersede design by the structural engineer. Slab criteria provided
do not account for concentrated loads from heavy machinery. Floors in slab areas are
assumed to be designed for typical residential floor slabs. Slabs subject to higher or
concentrated loads (e.g., columns, walls, etc.) should be properly designed by the project
structural engineer.
The subgrade soil should be compacted to a minimum 90 percent of the laboratory
maximum density. Moisture conditioning is recommended for these soil conditions. The
moisture content of the subgrade soils should be equal to or greater than the soils
optimum moisture, to a depth of 18 inches below pad grade in the slab areas and verified
Pacific Scene Financial, LLC W.O. 2484-A-SC

File:e\wp7\2400\2484a.pge Page 14
GeoSoils, Inc.
by this office within 72 hours of pouring slabs and prior to placing visqueen or
reinforcement.
Slabs should be a minimum of 4 inches thick and be minimally reinforced with No. 3
reinforcing bars on 18 inches centers both ways, or equivalent reinforcement. Reinforcing
should be properly supported on chairs or blocks to ensure placement near the vertical
midpoint of the slab. Concrete slab weakened plane or expansion joints should be placed
in accordance with current standards of practice and no greater than 12 feet apart.
Concrete slabs should be underlain with a minimum of four inches of sand. In addition,
where moisture condensation is undesirable, a vapor barrier consisting of a minimum 6-mil
thick, polyvinyl chloride or equivalent membrane, with all laps sealed, should be provided
at the mid-point of the sand layer.
Exterior Flatwork
Exterior walkways, sidewalks, or patios, using concrete slab on grade construction
(excluding traffic pavements), should be designed and constructed in accordance with the
following criteria.
1. Slabs should be a minimum 4 inches in thickness. A thickened edge should be
considered (12 inches in depth and 4 to 6 inches in thickness) for all flatwork
adjacent to landscape areas.
2. Slab subgrade should be compacted to a minimum 90 percent relative compaction
and moisture conditioned to at or above the soils optimum moisture content.
3. The use of transverse and longitudinal control joints should be considered to help
control slab cracking due to concrete shrinkage or expansion. Two of the best
ways to control this movement is; 1) add a sufficient amount of reinforcing steel,
increasing tensile strength of the slab, and/or 2) provide an adequate amount of
control and/or expansion joints to accommodate anticipated concrete shrinkage
and expansion. We would suggest that the maximum control joint spacing be
placed on 5 to 8 foot centers or the smallest dimension of the slab, whichever is
least.
4. No traffic should be allowed upon the newly poured concrete slabs until they have
been properly cured to within 75 percent of design strength.
5. Positive site drainage should be maintained at all times. Adjacent landscaping
should be graded to drain into the street, parking area, or other approved area. All
surface water should be appropriately directed to areas designed for site drainage.
6 In areas directly adjacent to a continuous source of moisture (i.e. irrigation,
planters, etc.), all joints should be sealed with flexible mastic.

GeoSofls, Inc.
7. Concrete used to construct flatwork should be at least ASTM 520-C-2500.
POST-TENSIONED SLAB FOUNDATION SYSTEMS
PT slabs may be utilized for construction of typical one (1) and two (2) story residential
structures onsite. Upon request, GSI could provide additional data/consultation regarding
soil parameters as related to post-tensioned slab design.
RETAINING WALLS
General
Foundations may be designed using parameters provided in the "Design" section of
Foundation Recommendations presented herein. Wall sections should adhere to the
County of San Diego and/or City of Carlsbad guidelines. All wall designs should be
reviewed by a qualified structural engineer for structural capacity, overturning and stability,
and be designed as seismically resistant, per the latest edition of the Uniform Building
Code.
The design parameters provided assume that onsite (or equivalent) low expansive soils are
used to backfill retaining walls. If expansive soils are used to backfill the proposed walls
within this wedge, increased active and at-rest earth pressures will need to be utilized for
retaining wall design. Heavy compaction equipment should not be used above a 1:1
projection up and away from the bottom of any wall.
The following recommendations are not meant to apply to specialty walls (cribwalls, loffel,
earthstone, etc.). Recommendations for specialty walls will be greater than those provided
herein, and can be provided upon request. Some movement of the walls constructed
should be anticipated as soil strength parameters are mobilized. This movement could
cause some cracking dependent upon the materials used to construct the wall. To reduce
wall cracking due to settlement, walls should be internally grouted and/or reinforced with
steel.
Restrained Walls
Any retaining walls that will be restrained prior to placing and compacting backfill material
or that have re-entrant or male comers, should be designed for an at-rest equivalent fluid
pressures of 60 pcf, plus any applicable surcharge loading. For areas of male or re-entrant
corners, the restrained wall design should extend a minimum distance of twice the height
of the wall laterally from the corner. Building walls below grade, should be water-proofed
or damp-proofed, depending on the degree of moisture protection desired. Refer to the
following section for preliminary recommendations from surcharge loads.

Magnolia Gardens August 7, 1998
File:e\wp7\2400\2484a.pge Page 16
GeoSoils, Inc.
Cantilevered Walls
These recommendations are for cantilevered retaining walls up to ten (10) feet high. Active
earth pressure may be used for retaining wall design, provided the top of the wall is not
restrained from minor deflections. An empirical equivalent fluid pressure (EFP) approach
may be used to compute the horizontal pressure against the wall. Appropriate fluid unit
weights are provided for specific slope gradients of the retained material. These do not
include other superimposed loading conditions such as traffic, structures, seismic events
or adverse geologic conditions.

The equivalent fluid density should be increased to 65 pounds per cubic foot for level
backfill at the angle point of the wall (comer or male re-entrant) and extended a minimum
lateral distance of 2H (two times the wall height) on either side of the corner. Traffic loads
within a 1:1 projection up from the wall heel, due to light trucks and cars should be
considered as a load of 100 psf per foot in the upper 5 feet of wall in uniform pressure. For
preliminary design purposes, footing loads within a 1:1 backfill zone behind wall will be
added to the walls as 1/s of the bearing pressure for one footing width, along the wall
alignment.
Wall Backfill and Drainage
All retaining walls should be provided with an adequate gravel and pipe backdrain and
outlet system (a minimum 2 outlets per wall), to prevent buildup of hydrostatic pressures
and be designed in accordance with minimum standards presented herein. Pipe should
consist of schedule 40 perforated PVC pipe. Gravel used in the backdrain systems should
be a minimum of 3 cubic feet per lineal foot of 3/a to 11/2-inch clean crushed rock
encapsulated in filter fabric (Mirafi 140 or equivalent). Perforations in pipe should face
down. The surface of the backfill should be sealed by pavement or the top 18 inches
compacted to 90 percent relative compaction with native soil. Proper surface drainage
should also be provided.
As an alternative to gravel backdrains, panel drains (Miradrain 6000, Tensar, etc.) may be
used. Panel drains should be installed per manufacturers guidelines. Regardless of the
backdrain used, walls should be water proofed where they would impact living areas or
where staining would be objectionable.

Retaining Wall Footing Transitions
Site walls are anticipated to be supported on footings designed in accordance with the
recommendations in this report. Wall footings may transition from competent terrace
materials to fill. If this condition is present the civil designer may specify either:
a) A minimum of a 2-foot, overexcavation and recompaction of bedrock
materials, as measured for a distance of two times the height of the wall from
the transition in the direction of the wall. Overexcavations should be
completed for a minimum lateral distance of 2 feet beyond the footing,
measured perpendicular to the wall.
b) Increase of the amount of reinforcing steel and wall detailing (i.e., expansion
joints or crack control joints) such that a angular distortion of 1/360 for a
distance of 2H on either side of the transition may be accommodated.
Expansion joints should be sealed with a flexible grout.
c) Embed the footings entirely into native formationai material. If transitions
from cut to fill transect the wall footing alignment at an angle of less than 45
degrees (plan view), then the designer should follow recommendation "a"
(above) and until such transition is between 45 and 90 degrees to the wall
alignment.
Landscape Maintenance and Planting
Water has been shown to weaken the inherent strength of soil, and slope stability is
significantly reduced by overly wet conditions. Positive surface drainage away from graded
slopes should be maintained and only the amount of irrigation necessary to sustain plant
life should be provided for planted slopes. Over-watering should be avoided.
Graded slopes constructed within and utilizing onsite materials would be potentially
erosive. Eroded debris may be minimized and surficial slope stability enhanced by
establishing and maintaining a suitable vegetation cover soon after construction. Plants
selected for landscaping should be light weight, deep rooted types which require little
water and are capable of surviving the prevailing climate. Compaction to the face of fill
slopes would tend to minimize short term erosion until vegetation is established. It order
to minimize erosion on the slope face, an erosion control fabric (i.e. jute matting) should
be considered.
From a geotechnical standpoint, leaching is not recommended for establishing
landscaping. If the surface soils area processed for the purpose of adding amendments
they should be recompacted to 90 percent minimum relative compaction. Moisture
sensors, embedded into fill slopes, should be considered to reduce the potential of over-
watering from automatic landscape watering systems.

Additional Site Improvements
If in the future, any additional improvements are planned for the site, recommendations
concerning the geological or geotechnical aspects of design and construction of said
improvements could be provided upon request this includes but not limited to appurtenant
structures, A/C support pads, pools and spas.
Additional Grading
This office should be notified in advance of any additional fill placement, regrading of the
site, or trench backfilling after rough grading has been completed. This includes any
grading, utility trench and retaining wall backfills.
Drainage
Positive site drainage should be maintained at all times. Drainage should not flow
uncontrolled down any descending slope. Water should be directed away from
foundations and not allowed to pond and/or seep into the ground. Pad drainage should
be directed toward the street or other approved area. Roof gutters and down spouts
should be considered to control roof drainage. Down spouts should outlet a minimum of
five feet from proposed structures or tightlined into a subsurface drainage system. We
recommend that any proposed open bottom planters adjacent to proposed structures be
eliminated for a minimum distance of 10 feet. As an alternative, closed bottom type
planters could be utilized. An outlet placed in the bottom of the planter, could be installed
to direct drainage away from structures or any exterior concrete flatwork. Drainage behind
top of walls should be accomplished length paved channel drainage v-ditch or substitute.
Footing Trench Excavation
All footing trench excavations should be observed and approved by a representative of this
office prior to placing reinforcement. Footing trench spoil and any excess soils generated
from utility trench excavations should be compacted to a minimum relative compaction of
90 percent, if not removed from the site. Trenches exposing sandy material can be
relatively unstable. Excavations exposing sandy soil should be observed by this office
prior to workers entering the excavation.
Trench Backfill
All excavations should be observed by one of our representatives and conform to
CAL-OSHA and local safety codes. Exterior trenches should not be excavated below a 1:1
projection from the bottom of any adjacent foundation system. If excavated, these
trenches would undermine support for the foundation system potentially creating adverse
conditions.

Ftle:e\wp7\2400\2484a.pge Page 19
GeoSoils, Inc.
1. All utility trench backfill in slopes, structural areas and beneath hardscape features
should be brought to near optimum moisture content and then compacted to obtain
a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory standard.
Observations, probing and, if deemed necessary, testing should be performed by
a representative of this office to verify compactive efforts of the contractor.
2. Soils generated from utility trench excavations should be compacted to a minimum
of 90 percent if not removed from the site.
3. Jetting of backfill is not recommended.
4. The use of pipe jacking to place utilities is not recommended on this site.
5. Bottoms of utility trenches should be sloped away from structures.
PLAN REVIEW
Final site development, grading, and foundation plans should be submitted to this office
for review and comment, as the plans become available, for the purpose of minimizing any
misunderstandings between the plans and recommendations presented herein. In
addition, foundation excavations and any additional earthwork construction performed on
the site should be observed and tested by this office. If conditions are found to differ
substantially from those stated, appropriate recommendations would be offered at that
time.
LIMITATIONS
The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our laboratory study are
believed representative of the area; however, soil and bedrock materials vary in character
between excavations and natural outcrops or conditions exposed during site grading and
construction. Site conditions may vary due to seasonal changes or other factors.
GeoSoils, Inc. assumes no responsibility or liability for work, testing or recommendations
performed or provided by others.
Since our study is based upon the site materials observed, selective laboratory testing and
engineering analysis, the conclusion and recommendations are professional opinions.
These opinions have been derived in accordance with current standards of practice and
no warranty is expressed or implied. Standards of practice are subject to change with
time.
