Re: Job No. 77-49
Proposed 3 Lot Site
Basswood Avenue
Carlsbad, California
Subject: Foundation Investigation and Recommendations
Dear Nr. Beck:
Enclosed are the results of our foundation investigation for
the above referenced site located on the north side of Basswood
Avenue approximately 220 feet east of Highland Drive in Carlsbad,
California.
It is understood the site will be used for three lots for two
story woood frame residential structures. The foundations will use
concrete slabs-on-grade with concrete wall footings. Since the slope
of the ground is small thare should be little if any grading or leveling.
On 13 Nay 1977 six test pits were dug with a backhoe over the site
as shown on the enclosed map. The test pits were logged and repre-
sentative samples returned to the laboratory for further analysis.
The test holes revealed the site is underlain by a uniform layer of a
brown silty sand of marine sedimentary origin to the depth of interest
for this project. A layer of fill material several feet thick was
detected in the northeast corner of the site. The approximate limits
of the fill are shown on the enclosed map. In general the fill appeared
. to be a relatively clean granular soil but in'a loose condition.
A field density test was taken in the native soil in Test Pit #2
at the proposed footing depth in accordance to test method ASTM D1556-64,
the sand cone method. A wax density was also performed on an undisturbed
sample from Test Pit 1 at 3 feet. The results are presented on the logs
of the test pits found at the end of this report.
A direct shear test was performed on the soil taken from the field
density test. This material was remolded in the laboratory to the
inplace condition of moisture and density in three 1 inch high 2.3 inch
diameter brass rings. The three specimens were then sheared to failure
in the undrained condition under normal loads of .5, 1.0, and 1.5 K.S.F.
respectively. The values of internal friction and apparent cohesion
derived from this test were used in the Terzaghi Formula in accordance
with the procedure outlined in Reference 1, page 170, to compute the
allowable bearing capacity. The results follow:
Terzaghi Formula:
Bearing Capacity = 2/3cNtc + dD N' + 4fBNj fq
Assumptions:
Depth of Footing, Df = 1.5'
Width of Footing, B = 1.5s
Nfc, N' N' = dimensionless parameters found from 9' d'
Fig. 75, Ref. 1.
Factor of Safety = 3.

Conclusions and Recommendations:
1 - It is recommended that all grading be done in accordance with
the enclosed IISpecifications for the Construction of Controlled Fills"
unless superseded by the following recommendations.
2 - Due to the presence of lOOS8 fill in the eastern portion of
the site it is recommended that the fill be excavated to firm native
soil and recompacted to at least 90% of the maximum dry density. The
fill should be compacte@ for a distance of at least 10 feet outside
the building perimeter.,
While the bulldozer is on the site it is recommended that the loose
upper foot or so of native soil under the western and central lots be
excavated and recompacted to form level pads.
Please notify this laboratory to arrange a testing schedule prior
to grading.
3 - The investigation revealed no expansive soil, groundwater or
hard rock. -
4 - The tests and theqretical calculations indicate the footings
may be designed to stand an allowable bearing of 2938 psf. Experience
and good engineering pract;ice however, would limit this to 2500 psf.
5 - Direct all drainage'away ftorn the building so that wates is
not allowed to pond around the foundation.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CONTROLLED FILLS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The construction of controlled fills shall consist
of adequate preliminary soil inv'estigations, and clearing, removal of
existing structures and foundations, preparation of land to be filled,
excavation of earth and rock from cut area, compaction and control of
the fill, and all other work necessary to complete the grading of the
filled areas to conform with the lines, grades, and slopes as shown on
the accepted plans.
CLEARING AND PREPARATION OF AREAS TO BE FILLED:
(a) All fill control projects shall have a preliminary soil investigation
or a visual examination, depending upon the nature of the job, by a qual-
ified soil engineer prior to grading.
(b) All timber, trees, brush, vegetation, and other rubbish shall be re-
moved, piled and burned, or otherwise disposed of to leave the prepared
areas with a finished appearance free from unsightly debris.
(c) Any soft, swampy or otherwise unsuitable areas, shall be corrected by
drainage or removal of compressible material, or both, to the depths in-
dicated on the plans or as directed by the soil engineer.
(d) The natural ground which is determined to be satisfactory for the
support of the filled ground shall then be plowed or scarified to a depth
of at least six inches (6") or deeper as specified by the soil engineer,
and until the surface is free from ruts, hummocks, or other uneven fea-
tures which would tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment to
be used.
(e) No fill shall be placed until the prepared native ground has been
approved by the soil engineer.
(f) Where fills are made on hillsides with slopes greater than 5 (hori-
zontal) to 1 (vertical), horizontal benches shall be cut into firm un-
disturbed natural ground to provide lateral and vertical stability. The
initial bench at the toe of the fill shall be at least 10 feet in width
on firm undisturbed natural ground at the elevation of the toe stake.
The soil engineer shall determine the width and frequency of all suc-
ceeding benches which will vary with the soil conditions and the steep-
ness of slope.
(9) After the natural ground has been prepared, it shall be brought to
the proper moisture content and compacted to not less than 90% of max-
imum density, A.S.T.M. D1557-64T.
(h) Expansive soils may require special compaction specifications
as directed in the preliminary soil investigation by the soil engineer.
(i) The cut portions of building pads in which rock-like material exists
may require excavation and recompaction for density compatibility with
the fill as directed by the soil engineer.
MATERIALS: The fill soils shall consist of select materials graded so
that at least 40 percent of the material passes the No. 4 sieve. The
material may be obtained from the excavation, a borrow pit, or by mixing
soils from one or more sources. The material used shall be free from
vegetable matter, and other deleterious substances, and shall not contain
rocks or lumps greater than 6 inches in diameter. If excessive vegetation,
rocks, or soils with unacceptable physical characteristics are encountered,
these materials shall be disposed of in waste areas designated on the plans or as directed by the soil engineer. If soils are encountered during the
grading operation which were not reported in the preliminary soil invest-
igation, further testing will be required to ascertain their engineering
properties. Any special treatment recommended in the preliminary or sub-
sequent soil reports not covered herein shall become an addendum to these
specifications.
No material of a perishable, spongy, or otherwise unstable nature shall
be used in the fills.
PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTING FILL MATERIAL:
(a) The selected fill material shall be placed in layers which shall
not exceed six inches (6") when compacted.. Each layer shall be spread
evenly and shall be thoroughly blade-mixed during the spreading to insure
uniformity of material and moisture in each layer.
(b) When the moisture content of the fill material is below that speci-
fied by the soil engineer, water shall be added until the moisture con-
tent is near optimum as determined by the soil engineer to assure thor-
ough bonding during the compacting process.
(c) When the moisture content of the fill material is above that speci-
fied by the soil engineer, the fill material shall be aerated by blading
and scarifying, or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content
is near optimum as determined by the soils engineer.
(d) After each layer has been placed, mixed and spread evenly, it shall
be thoroughly compacted to not less than the specified maximum density
in accordance with A.S.T.M. 01557-64T. Compaction shall be by means of
tamping or sheepsfoot rollers, multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers, or
other types of rollers. Rollers shall be of such design that they will
be able to compact the fill to the specified density. Rolling of each
layer shall be continuous over its entire area and the roller shall make
sufficient passes to obtain the desired density. The entire area to be
filled shall be compacted to the specified density.
SOIL AND MATERIAL TESTING LABORATORY
OF NORTH COUNTY, INC. -2-
*
?
(e) Fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepsfoot rollers or
other suitable equipment. Compacting operations shall be continued until
the slopes are stable but not too dense for planting and until there is
no appreciable amount of loose soil on the slopes. Compacting of the
slopes shall be accomplished by backrolling the slopes in increments of
3 to 5 feet in elevation gain or by other methods producing satisfactory
results.
(f) Field density tests shall be made by the soil engineer for approx-
imately each foot in elevation gain after compaction, but not to exceed
two feet in vertical height between tests. The location of the tests in
plan shall be spaced to give the best possible coverage and shall be
taken no farther than 100 feet apart. Tests shall be taken on corner
and terrace lots for each two feet in elevation gain. The soil engineer
may take additional tests as considered necessary to check on the uniform-
ity of compaction. Where sheepsfoot rollers are used, the tests shall
be taken in the compacted material below the disturbed surface. No
additional layers of fill shall be spread until the field density tests
indicate that the specified density has been obtained.
(9) The fill operation shall be continued in six inch (6") compacted
layers, as specified above, until the fill has been brought to the fin-
ished slopes and grades as shown on the accepted plans.
SUPERVISION: Supervision by the soil engineer shall be made during the
filling and compacting operations so that he can certify that the fill
was made in accordance with accepted specifications.
The specifications and soil testing of subgrade, subbase, and base
materials for roads, or other public property shall be done in accordance
with specifications of the governing agency.
SEASONAL LIMITS: No fill material shall be placed, spread, or rolled
during unfavorable weather conditions. When the work is interrupted
by heavy rain, grading shall not be resumed until field tests by the
soil engineer indicate that the moisture content and density of the fill
are as previously specified. In the event that, in the opinion of the
engineer, soils unsatisfactory as foundation material are encountered,
they shall not be incorporated in the grading and disposition will be
made at the engineer's discretion.
