Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with the request of Retaining Walls Company North, this report has been prepared to
present our opinion that if a soil with an angle of internal friction lllgher than 22 degrees is required
for the site retaining wall foundations, it will be necessary to remove and replace at least three feet of

CENTER, FARADAY AVENUE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA.
Ladies/Gentlemen,
In accordance with yonr request, Christian Wheelet Engineering has prepared this report to
summadze the results of density tests performed for the parking, retaining wall and utility
improvements at the subject site. Our testing services were provided periodically from January to
June, 1999.
SITE DESCRIPTION The project site addressed by this report consists of a graded building pad
located south of Faaday Avenue in the Carlsbad Research Center area of Carlsbad, California. The
buildmg pad has been prepared to support a concrete dlt-up building. The earthwork performed in
preparation for the building pad is addressed in our report titled, “Remedial Grading, Observation
and Testing”, dated Januay 5, 1999.
PLAN REFERENCE In order to augment OUT understanding of the designed contignration of the
project, OUT hrm was provided with a site plan for the site prepared by Masson and Assoaates, dated
December 15,1998. The plan has been modified by our hrm to show the approximate locations of
ow field tests and is reproduced as Plates No. 1 and No. 2 of this report

SCOPE OF SERVICE
August 18,1999 2
Services provided by Christian Wheeler Engineedng, Inc. during the course of the hlling and
backtilling operations consisted of the following:
Periodic performance of in-place density tests in the trench backfills and for subgrade, base
material, and asphalt placed;
Continuous observation and compaction testing of the backfill for the reinforced earth retaining
wall construction;
Performance of laboratory maximum density and optimum moisture determinations on the soil
types used for the backfill, subgrade, and base material, and laboratory maximum density
determination for the asphalt material; and,
Preparation of this report.
SUMMARY OF TESTS
FIELD TESTS: Field tests to measure the relative compaction of the backfill, subgrade, and base
were conducted in accordance with ASTM Test Designation D 2922-91, “Standard Test Methods for
Density of Soil and Soil-Aggregate in Place by Nuclear Methods.” The locations of the field tests
were selected by our techniaan in areas discerned to exhibit relative compaction that was generally
representative of that attained in the backftlls, subgrade and base courses. The results of these tests
are presented on the attached Plates No. 3 through 8.
LABORATORY TESTS The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of the
predominate soil encountered in the backtill, subgrade, and base were determined in our laboratory
by ASTMTest Designation D 1557-91, ‘Test Method for Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of
Soil Using Modified Effort.” The test was conducted in accordance with the methodology prescribed
for the grain-size distribution of the soils tested. The results of these tests are presented on the
attached Plate No. 3. The Hveem density of the asphalt used in the paved areas was determined in
the laboratory by ASTM Test Designation D-1560. The result of this test is presented with the in-
place density tests on Plate 7.
CWF. 198.125.7
CONCLUSIONS
August 18,1999 3
Based upon the field and laboratory tests, it is oux opinion that the backtills, subgrade, and base
material were placed and compacted in accordance with our recommendations, the City of Carlsbad
gradmg ordinance, the Uniform Building Code, and that the reinforced earth retaining walls were
constructed in substantially accordance with the building plans.
Christian Wheeler Engineering sincerely appreaates the opportunity to provide professional service
on this project. Ifyou should have any questions after reviewing this report, please do not hesitate to

and limited laboratory testing of recovered soil samples was performed in order to define
site suitability for development.
Available conceptual site development plans indicate the proposed R & D facility will
consist of a two-story building, with a footprint area of approximately 33,000 square feet.
Subsurface utilities, paved parking lots, and landscaped areas are also proposed. The
precise building location, finish floor elevation, type of construction, and information on
structural loads were not available at the time of our evaluation.
Lot No. 106 was graded:between .October of 1992 and March of 1994, as a part of mass
grading for the overall Unit 5 development. Engineering observation and testing were
performed by the firm Geotechnics. Inc., of San Diego, California. Their final grading
report indicates Lot 106 was developed primarily as a cut lot in mildly metamorphosed
volcanic rock. Blasting was required on Lot 106 where the volcanic rock could not be
excavated with heavy dozers. To facilitate future building construction, the lot was Overcut
approximately 5 feet and a compacted fill cap placed to achieve finish grades.
Three borings were placed within the conceptual outlines of the proposed building for this
study. Fill soils were encountered to depths ranging from about 5.5 to 6.0 feet. The fill cap
soils appeared to be predominantly very clayey sands, with horizontal and vertical variation
to include localized silty sand. Moisture - density tests on recovered samples indicated that
relative compaction of the on-site fill materials has apparently decreased over time.

Additionally, the flat surface of the sheet-graded lot exhibits closely spaced polygonal
ground cracks, many of which can be probed to depths of 3 feet or more.
Based on the results of the field investigation, laboratory testing, and professional
experience, it is our opinion that the site generally appears to be suitable for the proposed
new construction. In particular, the currently suggested building location is favorably
placed with respect to a recommended avoidance of deeper fills located toward nearby
Faraday Avenue. However, our findings also indicate that cyclic wetting and drying of the
clayey fill soils has created deep desiccation cracking and loss of compaction, with the
result that the existing upper 5 feet of fill soils are judged unsuitable for foundation, slab,
or pavement support in their present condition.
The suggested mitigation to correct the potentially compressible condition of the upper fill
soils on the site consists of recompaction of the on-site soils to a depth of roughly 5 feet.
Although simple removal of the unsuitable materials to an off-site location is feasible, with
subsequent foundation support provided by bedrock, the marginal excavatability of the
volcanic rock likely would make foundation embedment and utility installation extremely
difficult. Preliminary recommendations for site regrading and inspection are provided in
this report.
Additional recommendations for foundation support (including allowable values for vetical
and lateral loads), slabs-on-grade, pavements, and backfills should be presented by this
office in an addendum report, once structural plans become available. Soil samples
retained from this study and/or collected at the time of site regrading will require testing to
ascertain necessary engineering index values, including shear strength, expansivity,
corrosivity, and R-value for pavement support.
Thank you very much for this opportunity to be of service. Please do not hesitate to call
if you should have any questions.
Very truly yours, ..

INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our Limited Geotechnical Evaluation performed for Lot
No. 106 of the Carlsbad Research Center (Unit 5), a large master-planned business
development in the City of Carlsbad, California. Lot No. 106 has a net site area of 4.07
acres, comprising both a sheet-graded building pad and nearby natural slopes. The site
is located on Faraday Avenue, northeast of College Avenue.
The primary purpose of our study was to verify the distribution and evaluate the current
condition of the subsurface materials underlying the pad area, in orderto provide a general
opinion of site suitability for building construction. Accordingly, the scope of our services
included a surficial reconnaissance of the site and surrounding area, subsurface
exploration, recovery of representative soil samples, limited laboratory testing, and
geotechnical analyses. A final grading report prepared by the firm Geotechnics.
Incorporated at the completion of mass grading of Unit 5 was reviewed for relevant
findings. Owing to the conceptual nature of project plans available to date, a detailed
examination of the engineering characteristics of the on-site materials for foundation, slab-
on-grade, and pavement design purposes was not a part of this limited investigation.
Additionally, environmental research for purposes of establishing whether toxic or
hazardous substances had been generated, used, stored, or disposed of on-site, or
chemical testing of air, spil. or groundwater at the site were beyond the scope of this study. ..
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The current configuration of the Unit 5 portion of the Carlsbad Research Center includes
19 business or commercial lots, with associated paved streets and greenbelt areas. Prior
to grading, the area consisted of gently to moderately sloping natural terrain mostly
underlain by soft sedimentary rocks, with a central higher-elevation knob and ridge found
to be underlain by relatively hard volcanic rock. Mass grading of Unit 5 and the included
Lot No. 106 began in October, 1992, and was completed in March of 1994. Grading was
performed under the engineering observation and testing of the San Diego-based firm
Medall, Aragon, Higley, Geotechnical, Inc.
.
.. ., CAC Associates - Lor 106 August 26,1995
Project No. 3630-SF Page No. 4 ..
Geotechnics, Incorporated. A final grading report for Unit 5 was issued on April 29, 1994
(Project No. 0017-001-01).
Geotechnical maps included in the grading report indicate Lot No. 106 occupies the former
location of part of the central knob, and thus is underlain entirely by volcanic rock.
Samples recovered during our investigation consisted of mildly metamorphosed andesitic
tuff. Where less weathered, this rock is non-porous, hard, and strong. Grading of Lot No.
106 required a maximum cut of about 30 feet. Reportedly, blasting was required to
achieve the desired grades on this lot. To facilitate construction of building foundations
and underground utilities, Lot No. 106 was undercut an additional 5 feet and capped with
a layer of compacted fill; the fill materials appear to have originated from off-site areas
underlain by sedimentary sandstones and claystones. A greater thickness of fill was
placed toward the southern side of the lot, adjacent to Faraday Avenue. The maximum
thickness of fill in this area is indicated to be approximately 20 feet, exclusive of any
necessary removals or benching into the previous natural slope.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
A conceptual site development plan prepared by the firm Smith Consulting Architects Inc.
and dated August 1, 1997 was referenced throughout our investigation. The plan
illustrates a proposed two-story building with a footprint covering about 33,000 square feet.
Associated parking lois and. lanscaped areas will complete the site. The proposed
structure will be served by underground utilities. The plans do not indicate a finish floor
elevation; however, it is presumed that only minor cuts or fills are proposed for this site.
It is also assumed that the structure will consist of concrete tilt-up, reinforced masonry, or
steel-frame construction typical of business park development; such structures normally
impose moderate foundation loads.
FIELD INVESTIGATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Subsurface site exploration was conducted on August 8, 1997 by means of 3 borings
located within the conceptual building footprint. The borings were advanced with a truck-

mounted CME 75 drill rig equipped with 8-inch-diameter hollow-stem augers. All three
borings were bottomed within volcanic bedrock at a depth of 6.5 feet. Continuous logs of
the subsurface conditions encountered in the borings were recorded by an engineering
geologist representing this firm, and the results are presented on the Boring Logs in the
Appendix. The approximate locations of the subsurface explorations are illustrated on
Figure No. 1 in the Appendix.
Relatively undisturbed ring-lined barrel samples were collected from specified depths in
selected exploratory borings. Pertinent in-sifuengineering soil properties were judged from
machine behavior and penetration resistance of the barrel sampler. A disturbed bag
sample, representative of the structural fill soils was also collected. Both the discrete
samples and drill cuttings were visuallylmanually classified in the field according to the
Unified Soil Classification System, and observations made of relative porosity, presence
or absence of organic matter, and any indication of groundwater. Laboratory tests to
determine field dry density, field moisture content, and maximum dry density were
performed on the recovered samples. Test procedures and results are presented in the
Appendix.
SITE GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
Surface Conditions
The sheet-graded building pad area of Lot No. 106 slopes southeastward at a 1.5%
gradient toward a rough-graded catch basin and storm drain. The pad is bounded to the
north and east by descending, naturally vegetated slopes. The western side is bounded
by a 2:l cut slope with a maximum height of about 15 feet, tapering lower to pad grade
toward the north and south. The southern side of the pad is bounded by a 2:l fill slope up
to about 26 feet high, descending towards Faraday Avenue. Despite having been vacant
for over 4 years, the pad shows no evidence of significant erosion, and adjacent
manufactured slopes appear to be in excellent condition. Native vegetation, however, has
begun to re-establish itself on the site, with scattered clumps of buckwheat andwidespread
herbaceous annuals.

Project No. 3630-SF Page No. 6 ..
Most of the pad exhibits dense networks of polygonal ground cracks, of a type normally
associated with drying and shrinkage of soils with a large percentage of silt or clay. Some
of the cracks are an inch or more wide, and could be probed to depths of 3 feet or more.
Subsurface Conditions
The borings encountered from 5.5 to 6.0 feet of compacted fill overlying volcanic bedrock,
consistent with the reported thicknesses in Geotechnic's 1994 final grading report. The
majority of the fill was classified as fine to medium grained clayey sand, with a somewhat
variable fines content. Silty sand occasionally forms thin layers, and makes up a slightly
greater overall percentage of the fill cap toward the northern half of the site. The fill soils
are medium dense to dense in consistency, slightly moist near the pad surface but
becoming moist at shallow depths, non-porous, and free from organic matter. Samples
recovered from near the base of the fill indicate there exists some amounts of fragmented
rock left over from blasting operations, but the amounts are believed to be small.
The volcanic bedrock encountered in the borings ranged from highly weathered to slightly
weathered, with the freshest rock apparently located toward the center of the pad. Where
slightly weathered, the rock is hard and strong; conversely, yellowish colored and highly
weathered rock encountered in Boring B - 3 was relatively soft and weak. Cut slopes and
the recovered samples suggest the rock mass is closely to very closely fractured even
where not disturbed by grading activity. As previously noted, this material is apparently
non-excavatable with heavy dozers where slightly weathered or fresh.
Laboratorv Test Results
Dry densities calculated from recovered samples of the compacted fill ranged from
approximately 87 to 11 3 pounds per cubic foot. The measured values are both above and
below a relative compaction of 90 percent of the laboratory maximum dry density of 119
pcf. Field moisture contents ranged from 8.7 to 23.4 percent of dry density. The optimum
moisture content for compaction of the predominant clayey soils is approximately 13.6
percent, and is judged to be slightly less for the localized silty sand layers.

Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in the three exploratory borings drilled for this study, nor
was it encountered during site grading. Indications are that minor perched groundwater
may exist as a seasonal condition atop the relatively impermeable volcanic bedrock that
underlies the site. Depths to permanent groundwater are probably greater than 100 feet,
based on local topographic considerations. Groundwater should not be a factor for project
design or long-term performance.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Based on the results of the field exploration program, laboratory testing, and professional
experience, it is our opinion that the site appears to be suitable for the proposed new
construction, provided that remedial measures are implemented for the cracked,
weathered, and locally compressible cap soils. Excavation and recompaction are
recommended to mitigate these conditions and create satisfactory support characteristics.
We recommend the entire 5-foot-thick cap receive remedial compaction work; of the 5 feet,
approximately 4 feet will require removal followed by placement and compaction, while the
lowest foot or so of material can probably be processed and compacted in place. All of the
on-site soils appear to be suitable for reuse in the recompacted structural fill. The following
subsections present additional recommendations for site grading, structural design, and
inspections applicable to this site.
It is also our finding that the current conceptual building plan is favorably located with
respect to deeper fills located closer to Faraday Avenue. Unless special structural
measures are contemplated for building support, we recommend that the building remain
sited within the cut portion of the pad in order to minimize potential differential settlements
and possible building distress.

Site Gradinq
The general guidelines presented below should be included in the project construction
specifications to provide a basis for quality control during grading. It is recommended that
all structural fills be placed and compacted under engineering observation and in
accordance with the following:
Re-established native vegetation shall be cleared and properly disposed of off-site.
Excavation of the existing cracked and disturbed fill shall be performed as discussed
above, in areas which will support foundations, slabs-on-grade, and pavements.
Actual removal depths may vary during grading based upon conditions encountered
during earthwork activities.
0 The limits of overexcavation recommended for structural fill and building support shall
extend laterally along a 1:l projection from the bottom of footings or toe of slope plus
5 feet, or 5 feet, whichever is greater.
Observation by the Geotechnical Engineer of all cleared areas prior to placing fill.
Scarification, moisture-conditioning, and processing of fil! materials left in place by
adding moisture oi drying back to slightly above optimum moisture content, mixing,
and recompaction to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density as determined
by the ASTM D 1557 test method. Bottoms shall be proof-rolled with heavy rubber-tire
equipment (earthmoving scrapers, large loaders, or similar) to detect soft zones prior
to additional fill placement.
e Placement of fill soils moisture-conditioned to approximately 2 percent over optimum
moisture in lifts having a thickness commensurate with the type of compaction
equipment used, but generally no greater than 6 to 8 inches. Rocks or other Similar
irreducible matter larger than about 6 inches in diameter should be excluded from
Medall, Aragon, Higley, Geotechnical, Inc.
., ., .. CAC Associates - Lot 106 August 26,1995 Project No. 3630-SF Page No. 9
engineered structural fills on this site. Sufficient compactive effort shall be maintained
to obtain compaction of at least 90 percent of the maximum dry density.
Field density testing shall be performed to verify that the desired compaction is being
achieved. Where compaction of less than 90 percent is indicated, additional
compaction effort, with adjustment of the moisture content as necessary, shall be
made until at least 90 percent compaction is obtained.
0 Import soils, if required, should consist of predominantly granular material with low or
negligible expansion potential, free of deleterious organic matter and large rocks, and
shall be accepted by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to use.
0 Fine grading of building pads should result in drainage being directed away from
building foundations to swales for offsite disposal. The minimum desirable slope away
from buildings is 2 percent for a distance of at least 5 feet.
0 It is recommended that expansion index testing be performed during or upon
completion of the regraded building pad, to verify preliminary observations of possibly
moderate expansion potential in the on-site materials. The exact number of tests
should be determined by site observations made during grading, but should not be
less than one for each soil type.
Removal and recompaction of the on-site soils will result in some material volume loss.
Based on observations and laboratory density tests, it is estimated that shrinkage will
average 3 to 5 percent for the existing loosened structural fill soils if replaced with an
average relative compaction of 92 percent. Subsidence of approximately 0.1 to 0.2 foot
should also be anticipated for excavated areas proof-rolled as recommended above.

Foundations
Although information regarding anticipated foundation loads was not available for this
report, typical two-story commercial or office buildings normally produce moderate loads.
It is recommended that additional laboratory testing be performed and an addendum report
be issued once structural plans become available. Specifically, engineering index values
for shear strength, expansivity, corrosivity, and R-value for pavement support will be
required to finalize plans for foundations, slabs, and parking lots. Testing can be
performed once building elevations are known and supporting soils identified; if substantial
amounts of import soils are proposed, their support characteristics may be significantly
different and testing postponed until an import source is identified. Foundation plans, once
they become available, must be evaluated by this firm for compatibility with the preliminary
recommendations presented in this report.
Insuection
The preliminary opinions and recommendations in this report are based on the assumption
that all footings and slab-on-grade floors will be placed on properly compacted soils
approved by this office. Site grading operations should be performed under observation
by our personnel. All footing excavations should be observed prior to placing concrete to
verify that footings are founded on satisfactory soils and that excavations are free of loose
or disturbed materials:
The findings in this report may require modification as a result of later field exploration or
observations made prior to or during site regrading. This report has also incorporated
assumed conditionslcharacteristics of the proposed development where Specific
information was not available. Grading and foundation plan reviews should be performed
by this firm prior to site grading in order to evaluate the proposed construction from a
geotechnical viewpoint. If unforeseen adverse geologic or geotechnical conditions are
encountered during grading, then additional appropriate mitigation recommendations may
be required from this office.

CLOSURE
This report was prepared for the use of CAC Associates and their designates in
cooperation with this office. We cannot be responsible for the use of this report by others
without observation of the grading operations and footing excavations by our personnel.
The findings and recommendations of this report were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted professional engineering principles and practice in the fields of soil
mechanics, foundation engineering, and engineering geology. We make no other
warranty, either expressed or implied. Our conclusions are based on the results of the field
exploration combined with interpolations of soil conditions between a limited number of
subsurface excavations. The nature and extent of variations beyond the explorations may
not become evident until construction. If conditions are encountered during site
development that appear to be different than those indicated by this report, this office
should be notified.
It is a pleasure to cooperate in this project. If you should have any questions, please

FIGURES AND SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION LOGS
The Subsurface Exploration Map was prepared based upon information supplied by the
client, or others, along with Medall Geotechnical Associates's field measurements and
observations. Boring locations illustrated on the map are approximate.
The Boring Logs on the following pages depict or describe the subsurface (soil and water)
conditions encountered at the specific exploration locations on the date that the exploration
wasperformed. Subsurface conditionsmay differbetween exploration locations and within
areas of the site that were not explored. The subsurface conditions may also change at
the exploration locations over the passage of time.
The field operations were conducted in general accordance with the procedures
recommended by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) designation D
420 entitled "Standard Guide for Sampling Soil and Rock" and/or other relevant
specifications. Soil samples were presewed and transported to our laboratory in general
accordance with the procedures recommended by ASTM designation D 4220 entitled
"Standard Practice for Preserving and Transporting Soil Samples". The results of field
testing (e.g., N-Values) are reported on the Boring Logs. Brief descriptions of the
sampling and testing procedures are presented below:
Rina-Lined Barrel Samplina - (ASTM D 3550)
In this procedure, a barrel sampler constructed to receive a stack of I-inch-high brass rings
is used to collect soil samples for classification and laboratory testing. For this
investigation, a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches was used to drive a barrel fitted with
2.5-inch-diameter rings,. An uncorrected N-value of the number of blows needed to drive
the sampler the final 12 inches oTan 18-inch barrel was recorded. The method provides
relatively undisturbed samples that fit directly into laboratory test instruments without
additional handling/disturbance.
Bulk Samde
A relatively large volume of soil is collected with a shovel or trowel. The sample is
transported to the materials laboratory in a sealed plastic bag or bucket.
Classification of Samoles
Excavated soils and discrete soil samples were visually-manually classified, based on
texture and plasticity, in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System
(ASTM D 2488-75). The classifications are reported on the Boring Logs.

LABORATORY TESTING
Moisture-Densitv Determinations
The dry unit weight and field moisture content were determined for each of the recovered
barrel samples. The moisture-density information provides a gross indication of soil
consistency and can assist in delineating local variations. The information can also be
used to correlate soils found on this site with soils on other sites in the general area.
The test results indicate that the dy density of the soils and weathered bedrock tested
ranges from 82.0 to 1 12.5 pounds per cubic foot, with moisture contents ranging from 6.9
to 23.4 percent of dry unit weight. Sample locations and the corresponding test results are
illustrated on the Boring Logs.
Comoaction Tests
A representative bulk soil sample was tested to determine the maximum dry density and
optimum moisture content per the ASTM D 1557-91 (Method A) procedure. The test
method uses 25 blows of a 10-pound hammer falling I8 inches on each of 5 soil layers in
a 1/30 cubic foot cylinder. Soil samples are tested at varying moisture contents to create
a curve illustrating achieved dry density as a function of moisture content. The following
table presents the test results.
