INTRODUCTION
General
At the request of the La Costa de Marbella Homeowners Association, representatives of
Accutech Engineering Systems, Inc. have installed monitoring equipment in the rear (southern)
slope at the western end of the complex. Specifically, the request was related to hillside
movement and associated damage to several of the structures on the upper (southern) portion of
the property. More specifically, the study was limited to the general area to the rear of
Building 2421 through the west end of Building 2425, as further discussed in this report. The
purpose of our study was to evaluate the magnitude and severity of the hillside movement and
to provide recommendations for remedial stabilization of the hillside.
Due to budget and time constraints, and based on agreed upon procedures for our evaluation,
the scope of our work for this project and the contents of this report provide information related
to the following:

Document Review
Documents were made accessible at the offices of Cal West Management. These items were not
available for removal from the office; however, copies of .segments of certain relevant
documents were obtained. The documents consist of a history related to waterproofing and
drainage improvements, as reCommended by John Stevenson, Architect, and other reports from
General Analytical, Geocon,, Structural Design Consultants, and Saunders Engineering. The
series of reports were directed specifically toward Unit 2421A, the repair of 2425A after a
failure of an interior slab, and general drainage and waterproofing improvements implemented
Project Ref.: 961317-3

to help reduce moisture infiltration to the soils behind site retaining walls and basement retaining
walls at various units.
The conclusions between various reports were somewhat different. Some reports indicated that
the distress occurring within the buildings was not due to vertical soils movement, but only
lateral movement due to the shearing evident on the horizontal planes between drywall joints,
and the lack of distress on the subsequent upper levels of the units. Other reports suspected
vertical settlement of the front (north) of the buildings, due to the likelihood of fill settlement
in thi area. All reports were fairly consistent in their belief that heavy soil pressures, due to
the steepness of the hillside and infiltration of moisture, were causing lateral displacement and
high stresses in the rear retaining walls, which were in turn causing significant cosmetic distress
to the units.
FIELD EVALUATION
General
Our field evaluation for the subject site consisted of the following:

.• Documentation of Observed Distress

Inclinometers
Area and Site Reëonnaissance
The subject sié, identified as La Costa dè Marbella, is located in the La Costa area of the City
of Carlsbad, San Diego County, California. See Figure 1, "Site Vicinity Map", and Figure 2,
"Site Location Map". The subject property is a large, generally rectangular shaped parcel,
fronted by La Costa Avenue to the north. The property is further bordered by undeveloped
sloping terrain to the east, west, and south. At the top of slope to the south, a development of
single family residences was constructed subsequent to construction of the subject property. The
overall natural topography of the area consists of steeply sloping terrain, with a general trend
of slope down to the north. This specific site has building pads suitable for the on-site
improvements created by what appears to be typical cut/fill grading techniques. An overall
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 2
elevation differential of approximately sixty feet (60') from south to north exists across the lower
level developed portion of the site.
The vegetation on the rear slope consists of patches of ice plant and other ground cover, natural
grasses and shrubberies. The slope has been benched with concrete lined ditches at each level.
The slope within the area of study ascends at an approximate inclination of 1.25:1 (horizontal
to vertical). Several surfacial failures were apparent along the slope face in addition to some
phreatophyte growth.
Site Improvement Observations
The project consists of sixteen (16) buildings, housing fifty-eight (58) two and three-story units
constructed on a northerly sloping hillside. The specific units evaluated during previous site
visits by representatives of Accutech Engineering Systems, Inc. were those accessible units on
the western end of the upper (southern) level, between Units 2421A at the southwest corner and
2425F near the center of the upper level. These buildings consisted of adjacent, multi-story
duplex, triplex, and six-plex "townhouse" type units.
The buildings are typically constructed with a concrete slab-on-grade lower (walkout basement)
level. The rear (south) wall of the lower level consists of a retaining wall approximately ten feet.
(10') tall. This retaining wall retains soils for a rear patio and the surcharge from an additional
patioretaining wall approximately five feet (5') tall supporting a steep 11/2:1 (horizontal to
vertical) ascending slope. The units at the east and west ends of the buildings also have
retaining walls extending in a north/south direction supporting the exterior grades at the ends
toward the rear of the buildings. These walls not only act as retaining walls for exterior soil at
the east and west sides of the building, but also act as buttresses for the rear (south) retaining
wall. Above the basement level, the houses are framed with wood floor and wall systems that
support the second and third floor levels. The units evaluated are situated on building pads cut
into the northerly trending hillside.
Documentation of Observed Distress
The distress to the buildings evaluated appeared more significant in the westernmost units. The
distress observed was primarily related to tilting of the rear retaining wall at the basement level
and patio levels. Racking of the north/south oriented interior and exterior bearing and non-
bearing walls within the units was evident, and the necessity for adjustment to most doors in the
north/south oriented walls was required for them to properly operate. East/west oriented walls
frequently exhibited some warping orout of plane tilting to the north associated with the racking
of the north/south oriented walls.
Project Ref.: 961317-3

Subsurface Evaluation
Four (4) borings were drilled at the site near the lower level benches in the southwestern corner
of the slope. The borings were accomplished utilizing limited access "Beaver" drilling
equipment due to lack of accessibility to the slope area.
While they provided valuable information, this means of exploration limits the depths explored
and the ability to fully investigate the extent of certain underground features at depth due to the
lack of weight and power of the portable equipment. The borings were performed to allow
installation of inclinometer and piezometer casings to monitor slope movement and slope
groundwater conditions. Subsurface soils were also reviewed, logged, and sampled during the
drilling process, and both disturbed and undisturbed samples were obtained for laboratory
testing.
As encountered during drilling, the rear slope behind the subject units was found to be
constructed of fill soils underlain by natural formational deposits. The soils, encountered within
the respective exploratory excavation locations are described as follows:
Fill'Soils:
Fill soils appear to be generated from the original formational and residual soils on or
immediately surrounding the site. Generally, these soils consist of yellow brown and gray,
medium dense, moist to wet, silty sands with inter-mixed clay. Fill soils classify as SM
(fine grained silty sands) according to the Unified Soils Classification System.
Groundwater was encountered at depths of approximately ten to fifteen feet (10'-15') below
surface grade. The depth of fills at this site, on a slope that would otherwise have been
expected to be of native, undisturbed, formational material, suggests the likelihood of
previous construction of a "buttress fill" at the toe of the cut slope. Throughout the course
of our study, groundwater appears to fluctuate relative to periods of rainfall, and is
significant in vélume (indicating lack of adequate drainage at the buttress).
Formational Deposits:
Formational deposits were encoiintered at a depth of approximately twenty feet (20') below
surface grade in our borings along the lower bench of the slope. The formational deposits
generally consist of interbedded layers of silty claystone, and medium to fine grained, gray,
poorly to moderately cemented sandstone. A layer of remolded green clay was encountered
at a 'depth of approximately twenty five feet (25') below surface . grade along the lower
bench. The groundwater encountered in our borings appeared to be perched water atop the
clay layer. The water surface fluctuated between fifteen feet (15') to ten feet (10') from
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 4
the ground surface over the past several months. No indication of groundwater was
apparent directly below the remolded clay layer. This suggests that there was no pressure
buildup, in the formational mass beneath the failure plane.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed on the disturbed and undisturbed soil samples to determine their
physical and mechanical properties and their ability to perform appropriately for their intended
use. The following tests were conducted on the sampled soils:
Classification (ASTM D2487)
Moisture Density (ASTM D2216)
Direct Shear (ASTM D3080)
A thorough review of laboratory testing, including a description of the purpose and methodology
utilized for the tests, is provided along with the quantitative and graphical (where applicable) test
results (see Appendix C, "LaboratoryTesting"). Use of the quantitative results of laboratory
test data, a thorough visual inspection of the primary soil types on the property, and previous
experience with laboratory testing of similar soils have aided in developing the
"CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS" section contained within this report.
ANALYSIS & DISCUSSION
General
Hillside slopes constructed of either fills Or cuts into natural residual or formational materials
can fail because they are so steep that the "resisting" forces are inadequate to account for the
downhill "driving" forces. Often; improperly designed and/or constructed hillsides remain stable
for long periods of time, then become unstable and fail after years of adequate performance.
These failures are typically due to a changed condition with a resulting inadequate factor of
safety (i.e., inadequate "resisting" fOrce for the "driving" forces as illuded to above). This can
occur due to a variety of factors, including man-made changes such as excavation at the base
of slopes, and/or the failure of man-made improvements such as inadequately designed retaining
walls. Additionally, a failure can be due to increased moisture "saturation" of soils due to a
broken water line, plugged draihage inlets near the top of slope, failure or improper operation
of lateral bench drains along the actual slope surface, or unusual inclement weather causing
saturation of the soils which increases the weight ("driving" force) and reduces the strength of
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 5
the soils ("resisting" force). These changes can frequently reduce the factor of safety to the
point where either shallow or deep failures occur.
Drainage from uphill sources can frequently impede performance of residential improvements
on hillsides. This is especially true if the structures are excavated into the soil, trapping water
above an impervious layer. Both surface and groundwater can create problems. The
development of uphill properties with significant hardscape and roof areas reduces the amount
of vegetation for the evaporation and transpiration of moisture from the property. As a result,
the amount of runoff to downhill properties increases dramatically. Typically, the increased
moisture runoff is channelled to surface or storm drain installations to avoid erosion or increased
subterranean water flow to downhill properties. The collection and redistribution of surface
water is critical to prevent damage to downhill properties. Localized discharging of collected
water onto the surface or into the ground results in erosion, over-saturation, and can result in
significant negative consequences to the natural terrain, as well as on-site or off-site
improvements.
When soil buttresses are constructed, the new mix of soils can be less pervious than various
zones in the natural hillside. Frequently, pervious zones exist in nature and pathways are
created over a long geologic time frame to allow water in hillsides to escape at the slope face.
The construction of a buttress without excellent internal drainage in the form of a "chimney" or
"blanket" drain can cause detrimental moisture buildup within the soil mass.
Another issue that frequently occurs during construction is that excavation of a site for
residential development can leave the toe of a slope unsupported for a period of time. While
this condition exists, the soil mass, especially if a borderline stability condition exists, has a
tendency to "creep" in a downslope direction. Even if it does not creep, soil stresses begin to
increase within the soil mass due to the lack of support at the area of removed soil at the toe of
the slope.
Stability Analysis
Several iterations related to slope stability of the affected area of the rear (southern) slope were
performed utilizing PCSTABL5M computer software. Critical failure surfaces were generated
using a random searching algorithm associated with the program. A clay seam, dipping at
approximately 5° in a downsloçe direction, was input into the model of the hillside. This 5°
inclinometer is supported by the inclinometer readings, the borings, and published geologic
information relative to the area. We also assumed that groundwater is perched atop the clay
layer and that pore water pressure below this point is not a factor; however, some hydraulic
pressure at this perched condition was assumed due to water flow through the embankment. Soil
strength parameters were derived from soil and formation deposits sampled during installation

of the inclinometer and piezometer casings, and tested in our laboratory. The results of the
testing are presented in Appendix C, "Laboratory Testing."
The results of our analysis indicate an existing factor of safety of less than 1 against a deep-
seated failure of the slope. Most of the critical failure surfaces found passed through and along
the weak clay seam. The most critical failure surface generated indicates an initiation point very
near or below the northern end of the buildings at the garage areas. The termination point is
projected near the uppermost crest of the slope, off of the subject property. This most probable
failure surface generated during our analysis, generally conforms to the information obtained
from our inclinometer readings. A minimum factor of safety of at least 1.5 is generally required
related to gross overall stability of the slope.
Our analysis also indicates marginal stability related to localized shallow failures along the slope
face with factors of safety near 1.0 or slightly higher. This borderline condition is supported
by isolated surfacial failures which have occurred and are visibly apparent. It is the intent of
this report to address the larger slide mass and provide parameters for development of a method
of stabilization to reduce the future threat to the effected buildings only, and not to address the
,more .localized surface failures other than to make the owners aware of the condition. These
items can be addressed in the future when (it) funds for remediation become available.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Based on our observations of the specified units, data obtained from our continued study of the
southern slope by use of inclinOmeters and quantified slope analysis, and other conditions on-site
in conjunction with our review of referenced material, it appears that distress to the units is the
result of mass movement of the hillside in the form of a landslide rather than soil "creep."
From the installation of our inclinometers dating back to March 25, 1997, as much as one and
one-half inches (1 1/2") of lateral movement of the slope has been recorded from that time to
current. The inclinometer installation that exhibits the greatest degree of movement is located
directly behind Unit 2421. The movement of the slope appears to be occurring along a clay
seam located below the buttress constructed during original development of the property. The
inclinometer indicates that the entire soils mass is moving uniformly from the surface down to
the clay seam with little to no movement below the seam. The magnitude of movement appears
to become less to the east, which correlates with the decreasing distress observed in the units
to the east and the steepness of the slopes and proximity of the buildings to the west. The depth
of the clay seam is slightly below the basement elevation, and as such, explains the extreme
distortion of the basement walls as well as the indication of lateral movement of the building at
Building 2421.
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 7
It is likely that site conditions at this property, in conjunction with the construction, have
resulted in a product that will undergo continued movement for the life of the improvements.
The excavation of soils near the base of the slope during original development of the property
or during past remedial repairs may have aggravated or possibly actuated an existing slope
condition. The construction of the existing buttress suggests past known instability associated
with the hillside. It is likely that the current slope movement is occurring along a failure plane
which existed below another plane of instability and was not addressed during original
development of the property.
It is possible that with modifications or improvements to the project, and with the maintenance
precautions as described below, the observed conditions will not become significantly worse, and
the potential for future distress can be greatly reduced. A system of tie-back anchors can be
installed near the base of the slope, above the patio areas, to help remediate the slope movement.
The anchors can increase the frictional resistance along the slide plane in addition to providing
an upsiope component of resistance. The installation of a tie-back system can result in an
increased factor of safety against future slope movement.
Conclusions and/or appropriate recommendations for mitigating distress are provided as follows:
Drainage
Permanent Tie-Back Anchors
Drainage
Horizontal drains should be established within the slope to drain perched water which is likely
contributing to the slope instability problem. The drains should be constructed utilizing four
inch (4") diameter perforated well casings extending beyond the back scarp of the slide mass.
The drains will likely extend a horizontal distance of one hundred feet (100'). The casings
should be placed at a ±1 % gradient to allow gravity flow of water from the slope. The casings
should be sleeved with an appropriate filter fabric to prevent the screen openings from becoming
plugged. The drains can be established in conjunction with drilling for the tie-backs.
Obviously, the more drains that are installed, the more water that is discharged within the
hillside. We believe that two rows of drains should be installed between the tie-back anchors
as described below. In order to reduce setup time of the drilling equipment, the drains can be
installed on either side of a tie-back anchor and can be drilled using the same drilling equipment
as is utilized with the tie-back anchors. The existing bench and concrete open culvert should
be maintained and/or upgraded such that it continues to drain all surface water from above the
bench into the existing storm drain installations. In addition, all attempts should be made to
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 8
divert any surface drainage from the properties that are developed above (south of) the subject
property to help reduce moisture infiltration in the future. Several figures are provided giving
conceptual details of the horizontal drains and surface drainage, in conjunction with the tie-back
system.
Permanent Tie-Back Anchors
A system of permanent tie-back anchors can be utilized to help resist loads imposed on the
buildings due to movement of the slide mass by increasing the frictional resistance along the
slide plane. Various tie-back sytems have been utilized in the past, ranging from vertical
retaining walls with tie-backs that are used solely to provide an uphill force resistant to the
movement. Other tie-back systems are utilized which create a significant downward component,
thus increasing the friction along the slide plane to provide the necessary added factor of safety.
Due to the logistics of accessing the site and the nature of the existing improvements, a tie-back
system on the slope just below, the existing bench where the open concrete culvert exists is a
more desirable installation than retaining walls at the patios. The angle of the slope and the
access both allow for, drilling without interference with the buildings. The tie-back anchors
would be installed at such angles as to help increase the frictional resistance along the slide plane
while also providing an uphill force, both helping to increase the factor of safety against hillside
movement.
A typical tie-back consists of a drilled low pressure grouted anchor with an internally bonded
tendon as provided by "DYWIDAG." The unbonded length should be free to elongate to
transfer the tensile forces when' prestressing the tendon. The following recommendations and
guidelines' are provided to help aid in design of the tie-back system:
An allowable soil bond stress (r) of approximately 7 psi may be considered for preliminary
design of the anchors.' The soil bond stress can be multiplied by the perimeter of the
drilled shaft to obtain an allowable anchor load capacity per inch of bonded length. The
grouted (bonded) portion of the anchors should have a minimum diameter of at least six
inches (6")
Preliminary analyses indicate that the tie-back system should be designed to resist a load
imposed by the slide mass of 28 ,Kips/lf. A double row of tie-backs, spaced ten feet on
center (1O' O.C.)' with an, allowãblê capacity of 140 Kips per anchor, shall provide an
increased factor of safety 'of at last 1.5 against gross instability of the slope. In order to
develop the necessary resistance to support the soil mass, a "washer" must be installed in
order for the tendon to resist the actual movement of the soils mass. At a minimum, tie-
back reactions consisting of "washers," with dimensions at least one-third of the distance
between adjacent tie-backs, 'must be utilized. The "washers" can be hidden beneath the
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 9
slope surface or utilized as a cover on the slope surface to minimize erosion in the future.
A continuous gunite surface incorporating structural reinforcing to provide the minimum
size washer as described above, is a frequently used application to not only provide the
reaction for the tie-back anchors, but also significantly reduce erosion on the surface.
There is a wide variety of options related to the spacing, angle of drilling, and size, depth, and
strength of tie-backs. When actually designing the final system for construction. All of these
must be taken into account when finalizing the actual design of the system.
We recommend that a qualified contractor, experienced in the construction of tie-back ground
anchor systems, be retained to construct this system. We further recommend that once a design
has been developed and construction begins, field testing be performed on the first several
anchors to verify pull out capacity of the actual design. The first several anchors should be
loaded to at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of design load during testing. In addition,
the anchors should be tested for long term creep during field testing. It may be necessary to
preload all of the anchors to develop anchor capacity prior to attaching the anchors to the walls.
Inclinometer readings should also beT continued to further monitor the slope after remedial
measures have been implemented, to assure that movement of the hillside has effectively ceased.
The owners should be aware that it is the intent of this report to address the stability Of the gross
slide mass as it relates to the chronic problem of building distress. While it was discovered
during the preliminary analysis of the slope that shallow failures would likely occur due to the
oversteepened slope and the materials that comprise the slope, the purpose of this study was not
to quantitatively address those issues, nor provide recommendations for repairing these slopes.
The homeowners should be aware, however, that maintenance issues related to localized,
shallow, isolated, small failures or sloughs will most likely continue to occur on slopes above
the tie-back repair unless a stabilizing program is undertaken for those areas as well.
MISCELLANEOUS
General
The previous recommendationsare believed to be prudent, cost-effective measures that will help
the improvements safely function with reduced risk of continued distress, based on the symptoms
observed at this level of study.
The installation of inclinometers, to quantitatively ascertain the magnitude and location of
hillside movement, can be extremely beneficial in determining the exact nature of both vertical
and lateral displacement of soils. Inclinometers would help to better define the type of
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 10
I
movement that is occurringither near surface or deep-seated. This type of study would provide
information which more accurately defines the type of soil movement occurring. This
information would allow for a remedial tie-back design tailored more to the actual problem,
which would likely result in better future performance of this remedial system and the buildings
overall. This would also help document the reduced movement of the hill in the future, which
should help the value of each of the buildings.
Other miscellaneous considerations are provided as follows:
Maintenance Guidelines For Homeowners
Limitations
Maintenance Guidelines For Homeowners
Homesites, in general, and hillside lots, in particular, need maintenance to continue to function
and retain their value. Many homeowners are unaware of this and allow deterioration of their
property. It is important to familiarize homeowners with some guidelines for maintenance of
their properties and make them aware of the importance of maintenance.
Some governing agencies require property developers to utilize specific methods of engineering
and construction to protect those investing in improved lots or constructed homes. For example,
the developer may be required to grade the property in such a manner that rainwater will be
drained away from the lot and to plant slopes so that erosion will be minimized. He may also
be required to install permanent drains.
However, once the lot is purchased, it is the buyer's responsibility to maintain these safety
features by observing a prudent program of lot care and maintenance. Failure to make regular
inspection and maintenance of drainage devices and sloping areas may cause severe financial
loss. In addition to his own property damage, he may be subject to civil liability for damage
occurring to neighboring proerties as a result of his negligence.
The following maintenance guidelines are provided for the protection of the homeowner's
investment:
Surface drainage must be directed away from structural foundations to prevent ponding of
storm waters or irrigation adjacent to footings.
Care should be taken that slopes, terraces, berms (ridges at crown of slopes) and other
proper lot drainage features are not disturbed. Surface drainage should be conducted from
Project Ref.: 961317-3
Page 11
the rear yard to the street through the side yard, or to natural drainage ways within the
property boundary.
In general, roof and yard runoff should be conducted to either the Street or storm drain by
non-erosive devices such as sidewalks, drainage pipes, ground gutters and driveways.
Drainage systems should not be altered without expert consultation.
Periodically inspect, clean of any obstructions, and repair as required so that all drain
channeling installations, such as gutters, downspouts, catch basins, area drain inlets and
outlets function properly.
Limitations
This report presents a summary of observations made by ACCUTECH ENGINEERING
SYSTEMS, INC. personnel, and may not reflect all items existing during the evaluation.
Evidence of historic distress may well not now exist because of repairs or redecoration,
regardless Of whether or not the source of the distress was repaired. This report is based on a
visual observation of the specified principal building, as requested or discussed, and applies to
those areas and features as specifically described herein. It is not meant to address other
structures and appurtenances unless specifically referenced in this report. It is not intended to
address mechanical, plumbing or electrical systems, or any architectural elements of the
building. Leaks, in pressurized water systems can be the source of significant volumes of water
and cause "piping" of soil particles, expansion or collapse of supporting soils, lubrication on
bedding planes, and a variety of undesirable consequences as a result. We emphasize that this
report has not addressed plumbing or mechanical systems, and that all care must be taken to
ensure that none of the plumbing systems leak and/or that any plumbing leaks that occur are
immediately repaired to avoid the negative consequences of such leaks. It is intended to address
the specific area of concern only, as stated in the "INTRODUCTION" section of this report.
Data for this report was derived from surface observations at the site, knowledge of local

LABORATORY TESTING
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with the accepted practice of the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the Uniform Building Code (UBC), and
other suggested methods. A brief description of the tests performed is as follows:
CLASSIFICATION - Field classifications are prepared in the field and are verified in the
laboratory by a visual examination per (ASTM D2487). Further classification is provided
with the aid of supplemental laboratory testing of selected samples obtained in the field.
Samples are classified, as coarse or fine grained, well or poorly graded, high or low
plasticity, per the Unified Classification System.
. MOISTURE DENSITY - Moisture contents and dry densities are determined for
representative soil samples in accordance with ASTM D2216. This information is an aid
to classification and assists in recognition of variations in material consistency with depth.
The dry unit weight is determined in pounds per cubic foot, and the in-situ moisture content
is determined as a percentage of the dry unit weight. The results are summarized in the
excavation and/or boring logs and the summary of laboratory testing within this section of
the report.
DIRECT SHEAR - Direct Shear tests are performed in accordance with ASTM D3080, to
determine the failure envelope relating confining pressure to shear strength, based on yield
shear strength. This is given as "0", the angle of internal friction and "C" the unconfined
strength (cohesion intercept). A minimum of three (3) samples are tested at different
vertical loads. The shear stress is applied at a constant rate of strain at approximately 0.05
inch per minute and the ratio is thus obtained and plotted.

The following is the slope stability analysis of the rear
slope utilizing two rows of tie-backs spaced
horizontally ten feet on center (10' o.c.) along the
lower slope. The analysis indicates a factor of safety
of at least 1.5 for failure surfaces which extend
through the clay seam where the current movement is
occurring.
