FIELD INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation was conducted on August 20, 1986 and con-
sisted of visual observations of the existing surface conditions
and completion of five subsurface excavations. These excavations
were made by means of a backhoe under the observation of our

engineering personnel. All soils encountered were visually
classified in accordance with Unified Soil Classification System
that is presented on Plate Number 3. The representative soil
samples obtained were transported to the laboratory for testing.
Please refer to Plates Numbers 4 through 8 for the field logs.
The seismic survey for this study was performed on August 14, 1986
and included the performance of four shallow refraction engineer-
ing seismograph traverses using a Bison Instrument Signal Enhance-
ment Seismograph Model 1570B. The locations of the traverses are
shown on the attached Plate Number 2. Results of the seismic
traverses are included herein on Plates 9 through 12. A summary
of these traverses is presented on Page
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing on selected soil samples were completed in.
conformance with the general practices and procedures as recom-
mended by the American Society for Testing and Materials
(A.S.T.M.). These tests are briefly outlined below:
a. Soil Sample Classification: By visual examination,
the sampled soil classifications made in the field
were further evaluated in accordance with the Unified
Soil Classification System. The final classifications
are presented on the exploratory logs.
b. Field Moisture Content and Dry Soil Density: The
moisture content in percent of the soils dry weight
and the dry unit weight in pounds per cubic foot were
determined for selected soil samples. Please refer
to the exploration logs for the results of these tests.

c.. Direct Shear Test: Direct shear tests were performed
to determine the failure envelope based on yield shear
strength. The shear box was designed to accommodate
a sample having diameters of 2.375 inches or 2.50 inches
and a height of 1.0 inch. Samples were tested at dif-
ferent vertical loads and at saturated moisture content.
The shear stress was applied at a constant rate of
strain of approximately 0.05 inches per minute. The
results of these tests are presented on attached Plate
Number 9.
&. Expansion Tests: The expansive potential of clayey soils
was determined in accordance with one of the following
test procedures and the results of these tests appear
on Plate Number 9.
1) Allow the trimmed, undisturbed or remolded sample to
air dry to a constant moisture content, at a temper-
ature of 100 degrees F. Place the dried sample in
the consolidometer and allow to compress under a
load of 150 psf. Allow moisture to contact the
sample and measure its expansion from an air dried
to saturated condition.
FINDINGS
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is a nearly rectangular parcel of land that slopes gently
towards the southwest. It is located on the south, down hill side
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
KE S8690 Page 6
of Acuna Court near the end of the cul-de-sac. Existing residen-
tial properties are present to the west, south and east of the
parcel. The site is covered with the native grasses and some
stockpiled soils.
SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS
P
r
The site is capped with about one and one-half (14) to two and
one-half (24) feet of a reddish-brown, sandy silty clay that
was dry and medium stiff in consistency. In trench T-l, a clayey
silty sand was encountered to a depth of about seven and one-half
(74) feet. Underlying these upper materials are the very dense
metavolcanic rock which was observed to be fairly fractured.
Please refer to the seismic survey.section of this report for
the detailed analysis of these igneous materials.
GROUNDWATER
Based on our investigation we do not believe that a shallow
groundwater table exists at the site. No water table was en-
countered in any of the test trenches. We do not, therefore,
anticipate any major groundwater related problems, either during
or after construction. However, it should be recognized that
minor groundwater seepage problems may occur after development
of a site even where none were present before development. These
are usually minor phenomena'and are often the results of an al-
teration of the permeability characteristics of the soil, an
alteration in drainage patterns and an increase in irrigation
water. Based on the permeability characteristics of the soil
and the anticipated usage of the development, it is our opinion
that minor seepage problems may occur at random locations. It
is further our opinion that these problems can be most effect-
ively corrected on an individual basis if and when they develop.

SEISMIC SURVEY AND RIPPABILITY CHARACTERISTICS
The intent of the seismic refraction survey performed at the site
was specifically to facilitate the project planning by determining
the variations in seismic velocity of the underlying materials
and to determine a reasonable approximation of the depth from the
surface to the boundaries between rippable, marginally rippable,
and non-rippable bedrock.
Four refraction seismograph traverses were extended using a Bison
Instrument Signal Enchancement Seismograph Model 157.OB. The
traverses were located in areas where buildings or road cuts are
anticipated. The approximate location of each seismograph traverse
is shown on the enclosed Map, Plate 2.
The seismograph's depth of investigation is closely related to
the length of the seismic traverse. For a particular length of
traverse, e.g., 60 feet, using a ratio of 3:l between length and
depth, we conclude that this length of survey line will detect
the boundaries between materials of varying density and velocity
to a depth of approximately 20 feet.
RIPPABILITY CHARTS
Due to the presence of rock-soil units, we are including three
rippability charts which apply to the site conditions. Two of
the charts have been developed by the Caterpillar Tractor Company
for use with the D-9 and D-8 Caterpillar Tractor with No. 9
Series D Ripper and No. 8 Series D Ripper, respectively ("Hand-
book of Ripping", Caterpillar Tractor Company, Fourth Edition,
April, 1972). The third chart is a modification of charts by
the Caterpillar Company and an article in "Roads and Streets",
September 1967, which we feel approximately defines rippability
with the D-9 using a conventional #9 Single Shank Ripper.

RIPPABILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANITIC ROCKS
Rippable Condition (0-4,500 Ft/Sec)
This velocity range indicates rippable materials which may
consist of topsoil and weathered or decomposed rocks which
may possess random hardrock floaters. These materials
typically will break down into slightly silty, well-graded
sand.
Materials within the velocity range of from 3,500 to 4,000
fps are rippable with difficulty by backhoes and other
light trenching equipment.
r
r
r
Marginally Rippable Condition (4,500 - 5,500 Ft/Sec)
This range is rippable with effort by D-9 in only slightly
weathered materials. This velocity range may also include
numerous areas of very dense rock with the possibility of
extensive areas of fractured material. Excavations may
produce material that will partially break down into a
gravelly, coarse sand containing a high percentage of
cobble or boulder-sized materials. Less fractured or weather-
ed materials may be found in this velocity range that would
require blasting to facilitate removal.
Materials within this velocity range are beyond the capabil-
ity of backhoes and lighter trenching equipment. Difficulty
of excavation would also be realized by gradalls and other
heavy trenching equipment.
Nonrippable Condition (5,500 Ft/Sec and Greater)
This velocity range includes nonrippable material consisting
of primarily fractured materials at lower velocities with
increasing hardness at higher velocities. In its natural
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
KE S8690 Page 9

r
c
r
state, it is not desirable for building pad subgrade. Blast-
ing will most likely produce oversize material requiring
disposal.
The upper limits of rippability have been based on Rippability
Chart No. 3 utilized for this report. However, as noted in the
two Caterpillar charts (Nos. 1 and 21, the upper limits of rippa-
bility may sometimes be increased.

However, the conditions of the various soil-rock units appear to
be similar for the remainder of the site and may be assumed to
possess similar characteristics.
Our reporting is presently limited in.that refraction seismic
surveys do not allow for predicting a percentage of expectable
oversize or hardrock floaters. Subsurface variations in the
degree of weathered rock to fractured rock are not accurately
predictable, but have been indicated where thought to possibly
exist.
The seismic refraction method requires that materials become
increasingly dense with depth. In areas where denser, higher
velocity materials are underlain by lower velocity materials,
the lower velocity materials would not be indicated by our survey.
All of the velocities used as upper limits from Rippability Chart
No. 3 are subject to fluctuation depending upon such local varia-
tions in rock conditions are:
a) Fractures, Faults and Planes of Weakness of Any Kind
b) Weathering and Degree of Decomposition
c) Brittleness and Crystalline Nature
d) Grain Size
Further, the range of rippability using Caterpillar equipment may
be increased using the equipment listed in Charts 1 and 2. How-
ever, it should be noted that ripping of higher velocity materials
may become totally dependent on the time available and the eco-
nomics of the project. Ripping of higher velocity materials can
be achieved but it may become economically unfeasible.

r Based on the findings of this study, we conclude that with res-
pect to geotechnical aspects, the subject site is suitable for
the proposed project provided the recommendations contained in
this report are fully complied with.
r
The on-site near soils were determined to have a high expansive
potential and, therefore, will require special design consideration.
r
The upper topsoils are loose and not suitable to receive struc-
tural loads. We, therefore, recommend that they be removed and
replaced as an engineered fill prior to building construction.
It isour understanding that the materials obtained from cuts to
be made on the eastern side of the lot are to be placed in a pro-
posed six (6) foot fill at the western end of the site. Further,
the importation of soils is also proposed. It appears that the
proposed cuts can probably be made at the eastern side of the
site judging from seismic traverses ST-I, ST-2 and trench T-4
which indicated rippable materials to depths of ten (IO) feet,
ten (10) feet, and seven point five (7.5) feet respectively.
We recommend that the level portions of the cut be undercut to a
depth of at least 12 inches for landscaping purposes and the build-
ing area be undercut to a depth of at least 12 inches below the
deepest footing. This procedure allows for utility and footing
trench excavation, and ease in landscaping. r
Considering that soils are to be imported, we strongly recommend
that select, non-expansive soils be brought on-site to cap the
building pad and areas to be paved with at least three (3) fee,t
and 12 inches respectively.
c
r KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
KE sa690 Page 13
Considering the on-site soil conditions and the very dense rock
present, it is suggested that the pad grade be elevated to mini-
mize the amount of ripping that may be encountered at the eastern
cut.
RECOMMENDATIONS
SITE PREPARATION
r
c
r
c
PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE: We recommend that a preconstruction
conference be held at the site with the developer, civil engineer,
contractor, and geotechnical engineer in attendance. Special soil
handling and the grading plans can'be discussed at that time.
SPECIFICATIONS: We recommend that all earthwork'be done in accord-
ance with the attached "Recommended Grading Specifications."
Xetchum Engineering, Inc., should observe the grading and test
compacted fills.
All special site preparation recommendations presented in this.
report will supercede those in the standard Recommended Grading
Specifications. All embankments, structural fill and fill should
be compacted to not less than 90 percent of the maximum labora-
tory density. Utility trench backfill within five (5) feet of
the proposed structures and beneath asphalt pavements should be
compacted to not less than 90 percent of its maximum dry density.
The maximum dry density of each soil type should be determined
in accordance with A.S.T.M. Test Method 1557-70.
DEMOLITIONS, CLEARING AND GRUBBING: During site preparation,
all debris and deleterious materials derived from demolition,
clearing and grubbing operations should be legally disposed of
off-site prior to grading. Any existing utilities that will not
be utilized should be removed and properly capped at the proper-
ty lines. The removal of trees should include the removal of
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
E 58690 Page 14
their roots. The depressions resulting from the above operation
should be backfilled with soil that has been compacted to at
least 90% relative compaction.
GENERAL: Beneath all areas to receive fill, structural loads,
sidewalks, or pavements, we recommend that the clayey, weathered
metavolcanic materials, topsoils, and fill be removed to firm
natural ground or dense rock and stockpiled for future use. Firm
natural ground is defined as soil that possesses an in-place
density equal to or greater than 85% of its maximum dry density.
The stockpiled soils may then be replaced and compacted to at
least 90% in six (6) to eight (8) inch lifts to desired grade.
SELECTIVE GRADING FOR STRUCTURES:
P
r
As stated in the conclusion section of this report, we strongly
suggest that the upper three (3) feet of the building pad be
capped with an imported select soil that has a low expansive
potential. This will allow more conventional foundations to
be designed and constructed.
TRANSITION AREAS: We recommend that the cut area beneath struc-
tures be undercut to a minimum depth of one (1) foot below the
base of the deepest footing. This recommendation is submitted
in an attempt to reduce the potential distress that could arise
from footings founded partially on cut and partially on fill.
MOISTURE CONTENT OF FILL SOILS: All fill soils placed should
have moisture contents of at least 3% over optimum moisture
content.
AREAS TO BE PAVED: All areas to be paved should have the sub-
grade soils densified to at least 90% relative compaction to a
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
KE S8690 Page 15
r
h
r
minimum depth of 12 inches. It is suggested that the upper 12
inches of subgrade soils be comprised of granular select, non-
expansive materials.
IMPORT MATERIALS: Any fill material to be imported on-site
should consist of granular, non-expansive soil that contains no
organic or deleterious materials. It should have sufficient
cohesion to hold a vertical or near vertical cut for footing
excavations. It should have at least 85% of the material pass-
ing the Number 4 sieve with no rocks or chunks larger than one
and one-half (11) inches. The import fill should be approved
by our office prior to on-site delivery.
CUT AND FILL SLOPES
r
It is our opinion that cut and fill slopes constructed from the
native on-site materials will be stable with relation to deep-
seated failures if constructed at or flatter than the following
recommended slope ratios expressed in the horizontal or vertical
units for the indicated heights:
Cut Slopes to 15 Feet in Height 2:l
Fill Slopes to 10 Feet in Height 2:l
The above maximum heights were determined by using a factor of
safety of 1.5.
It is also recommended that footings not be founded nearer than
eight (8) feet measured horizontally inward from the face of the
slopes. Slopes should be planted with erosion resisting plants
and natural drainage should be directed away from the top of all
slopes such that no water is allowed to flow over the top.

r FOUNDATIONS AND CONCRETE SLABS-ON-GRADE:
ALTERNATIVE I: (Foundations on soils with a low expansive poten-
tial): We recommend the structure proposed for this project
P be supported by a continuous spread footing foundation system
.~ as recommended below. The following recommendations are sub-
mitted provided the soils within the upper three (3) feet from
finish grade have a-expansive potential.

r
All footings for one and two story structures should
be founded a minimum of 12 and 18 inches respectively

tions and slabs should be avoided.
f) Prior to placing concrete, the foundation excavations
should be inspected by a representative of this office
to insure that the above recommendations have been
followed .
ALTERNATIVE 11: (Foundation on expansive soils): We recommend
the structure proposed for this project be supported by a con-
tinuous spread footing foundation system as recommended below.
The following recommendations are submitted provided the soils
within the upper three (3) feet from finish grade have high
expansive potential.
a) All footings for one and two story structures should
be founded a minimum of - 24 inches below adjacent finish
grade. Footings should have a minimum width of 12 inches.
No isolated column should be allowed. They should be
connected with grade beams that are attached to the
building foundation.
".
b) Both exterior and interior continuous footings should
be reinforced with two No. 4 bars positioned three (3)
inches above the bottom of the footings and two No. 4
bars positioned three (3) inches clear below finish
floor or top of the foundation stew wall. .
c) Interior slabs should be not less than four (4) inches
in thickness, underlain by a four (4) inch blanket of
clean sand or crushed rock, reinforced with 6'~6~'-#6/#6
welded wire mesh or #3 bars at 16 inches on center locat-
ed in the center of the slab, and completely surrounded
with a continuous footing.

,-
d) Exterior slabs should be a minimum of three and one-
half (38) inches in thickness and should be reinforced
with 61~~6~~-#10/#10 welded wire mesh.
e) Surface drainage should be directed away from the pro-
posed foundation. Planters should be constructed so
that water is not allowed to seep beneath foundations
or slabs. Over-irrigation of areas adjacent to founda-
tions and slabs should be avoided.
f) Prior to placing concrete, the foundation excavations
should be inspected by a representative of this office
to insure that the above recommendations have been
followed.
BEARING VALUE: An allowable soil bearing value of 2000 pounds
per square foot for spread footing foundations may be used for
design of the on-site structures. This bearing value should
be verified for all soil conditions under all building pads.
In our opinion this value can be increased by one-third for
loads that include wind or seismic forces.
SETTLEMENT CHARACTERISTICS: The anticipated total and/or dif-
ferential settlements for the proposed structure may be consider-
ed to be within tolerable limits provided the recommendations
presented in this report are followed.
PAVEMENT
The following recommendations are submitted as preliminary guide-
lines for pavement construction. The subgrade soils to a depth
of at least 12 inches should be densified to at least 90%.
Paved areas should be protected from moisture migrating under
the pavement from adjacent water sources such as planted or
r KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
c
KE S8690 Page 19
r
r
grass areas. Saturation of the subbase soils could result in
pavement failures.
Further, all paving materials and methods of construction should
conform with good grading practices and with the minimum require-
ments of the governing agency.
DRAINAGE
r
We recommend that positive measures be taken to properly finish
grade the pad once improvements and landscape are in place so
that drainage waters are directed off the pads and away from
possible foundations, floor slabs, and slope tops. No areas
of ponded water should be allowed to exist.
EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES
GENERAL: It is our understanding that the small retaining struc-
tures that are proposed for this project will be of masonry con-
struction.
c
r
r
ULTIMATE ACTIVE PRESSURE: The ultimate soil pressure for the
design of earth retaining structures with level backfills may
be assumed to be equivalent to the pressure of a fluid weighing
35 pounds per cubic foot for walls free to yield at the top (un-
restrained walls). For walls restrained at the top, a fluid
pressure of 45 p.c.f. may be used. These pressures do not con-
sider any surcharge loading. If any surcharge loadings are
anticipated, this office should be contacted for the necessary
increase in soil pressure. All earth retaining structures
should have adequate weep holes or a subdrain system to prevent
the buildup of hydrostatic pressure behind the wall.
ULTIMATE PASSIVE PRESSURE: The passive pressure for prevailing
soil conditions may be considered to be 320 pounds per square
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
c
P
KE S8690 Page 20
foot per foot of depth. This pressure may be increased one-
third for seismic loading. The coefficient of friction for
concrete to soil may be assumed to be 0.37 for the resistance
to lateral movement. When combining frictional and passive
resistance, the latter should be reduced by one-third.
ALLOWABLE SOIL BEARING PRESSURE: The foundation for the pro-
posed retaining structures should consist of spread footings
founded in the firm native soils or compacted fill. Firm nat-
ural ground is defined as soil having an in-situ density of at
least 85% of its maximum dry density. Footings may be designed
for an allowable bearing pressure of 2000 p.s.f.
FACTOR OF SAFETY: The above values, with the exception of the
allowable soil bearing pressure, do not include a factor of
safety. Appropriate factors of safety should be incorporated
into the design of all earth retaining structures to reduce
the possibility of overturning and sliding.
BACKFILL: All backfill soils should be compacted to at least
90% relative compaction. Expansive or clayey soils should not
be used for backfill material within a distance of five (5)
feet from the back of the wall. The retaining structure should
not be backfilled until the materials in the wall have reached
an adequate strength.

LIMITATIONS
r
r
The recommendations presented in this report are contingent upon
our review of final plans and specifications. The soil engineer
should review and verify the compliance of the final grading
plan with this report.
It is recommended that Ketchum Engineering, Inc., be retained to
provide continuous soil engineering services during the earth-
work operations. This is to observe compliance with the design
concepts, specifications or recommendations and to allow design
changes in the event that subsurface conditions differ from those
anticipated prior to start of construction.
The recommendations and opinions expressed in this report reflect
our beat estimate of the project requirements based on an eval-
uation of the subsurface soil conditions encountered at the sub-
surface exploration locations and the assumption that the soil
conditions do not deviate appreciably from those encountered.
It should be recognized that the performance of the foundations
may be influenced by undisclosed or unforeseen variations in the
soil conditions that may occur in the intermediate and unex-
plored areas. Any unusual conditions not covered in this report
that may be encountered during site development should be brought
to the attention of the soil engineer so that he may make mod-
ifications if necessary.
This office should be advised of any changes in the project scope
or proposed site grading so that it may be determined if the
recommendations contained herein are appropriate. This should
be verified in writing or modified by a written addendum.
The findings of this report are valid as of this date. Changes
in the condition of a property can, however, occur with the
passage of time, whether they be due to natural processes or the
work of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
KE S8690 Page 22
in the state-of-the-art and/or government codes may occur. Due
to such changes, the findings of this report may be invalidated
wholly or in part by changes beyond our control. Therefore.
this report should not be relied upon after a period of two
years without a review by us verifying the suitability, the con-
clusions, and recommendations.
L
In the performance of our professional services, we comply with
that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of
our profession currently practicing under similar conditions and
in the same locality. The client recognizes that subsurface con-
ditions may vary from those encountered at the locations where
our borings, surveys, and explorations are made, and that our
data, interpretations and recommendations are based solely on
the information obtained by us. We will be responsible for those
data, interpretations and recommendations, but shall not be res-
ponsible for the interpretations by others of the information
developed. Our services consist of professional consultation
and observation only, and no warranty of any kind whatsoever,
expressed or implied, is made or intended in connection with the
work performed or to be performed by us, or by our proposal for
consulting or other services, or by our furnishing of oral or
written reports or findings.
It is the responsibility of the owners, or their representative
to ensure that the information and recommendations contained
herein are brought to the attention of the engineer and arch-
itect for the project and incorporated into the project's plans
and specifications. It is further their responsibility to take
the necessary measures to ensure that the contractor and his
subcontractors carry out such recommendations during construc-
tion.
Inspection services allow the testing of only a very small per-
centage of the fill placed at.the site. Contractural arrange-
ments with the grading contractor should contain the provision
KETCHUM ENGINE'ERING INC.
KE sa690 Page 23
r
r
that he is responsible for excavating, placing and compaction
of fill in accordance with the project specifications. In-
spection by the geotechnical engineer during grading should not
relieve the grading contractor of his primary responsibility to
perform all work in.accordance with the specifications.
This firm does not practice nor consult in the field of safety
engineering. We do not direct the contractor's operations, and
we cannot be responsible for the safety of other than our own
personnel on the site; therefore, the safety of others is the
responsibility of the contractor. The contractor should notify
the owner if he considers any of the recommended actions presented
herein to be unsafe.
Even though our field investigation indicates that the existing
fill placed on this site prior to our study is fairly well com-
pacted, this firm makes no warranties or guarantees, either ex-
pressed or implied, as to the competency or performance of this
fill inasmuch as we made no on-site observations or did no com-
paction testing during the fill placement or earthwork operations.

APPENDIX A
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS
General Intent
r
c
r- .
The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures
for clearing, compacting natural ground, preparing areas to be
filled and placing and compacting fill soil to the lines and
grades shown on the accepted plans. The recommendations con-
tained in the preliminary soil investigation report are a part
of the recommended grading specifications and shall supersede
the provisions contained hereinafter in the case of conflict.
Inspection and Testinp;
A qualified soil engineer shall be employed to observe and test
the earthwork in accordance with these specifications. It will
be necessary that the soil engineer or his representative pro-
vide adequate observations so that he may provide a memorandum
that the work was or was not accomplished as specified. Deviations
from these specifications will be permitted only upon written
authorization from the soil engineer. It shall be the responsi-
bility of the contractor to assist the soil engineer and to keep
him appraised of work schedules, changes and new information and
data so that he may provide the memorandum to the owner and govern-
mental agency, as required.
~
If in the opinion of the soil engineer, substandard conditions
are encountered, such as questionable soil, poor moisture control,
inadequate compaction, adverse weather, etc., the contractor shall
stop construction until the conditions are remedied or corrected.
Unless otherwise specified, fill material shall be compacted by
the contractor while at a moisture content near the optimum
r KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
r
r
moisture content to a density that is not' less than 90% of the
maximum dry density determined in accordance with A.S.T.M. Test
No. D 1557-70, or other density test methods that will obtain
equivalent results.
Clearing and Preparation of Areas to Receive Fill
All trees, brush, grass, and other objectionable material shall
be collected, piled, and burned or otherwise disposed of by the
contractor so as to leave the areas that have been cleared with
a neat and finished appearance free from unsightly debris.
All vegetable matter and objectionable material shall be removed
by the contractor frowthe surface upon which the fill is to be
placed, and any loose or porous soils shall be removed or com-
pacted to the depth determined by the soil engineer. The surface
shall then be plowed or scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches
until the surface is free from uneven features that would tend to
prevent uniform compaction by the equipment to be used.
When the slope of the natural ground receiving fill exceeds 20%
(5 horizontal to 1 vertical), the original ground shall be stepped
or benched as shown on the attached Plate A. Benches shall be cut
to a firm competent soil condition. The lower bench shall be at
least 10 feet wide and all other benches at least 6 feet wide.
Ground slopes flatter than 20% shall be benched when considered
necessary by the soil engineer.
Fill Material
Materials for compacted fill shall consist of any material import-
ed or excavated from the cut areas that, in the opinion of the soil
engineer, is suitable for uae in constructing fills. The material
shall contain no rocks or hard lumps greater than 12 inches in size
c KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
i-
P.
and shall contain at least 40% of material smaller than 1/4 inch
in size. (Materials greater than 6 inches in size shall be placed
by the contractor so that they are surrounded by compacted fines;
no nesting of rocks shall be permitted.) No material of a perish-
able, spongy, or otherwise improper nature shall be used in filling.
Material placed within 36 inches of rough grade shall be select
material that contains no rocks or hard lumps greater then 6 inches
in size and that swells less than 3% when compacted as hereinafter
specified for compacted fill and soaked under an axial pressure
of 150 psf.
Potentially expansive soils may be used in fills below a depth of
36 inches and shall be compacted at a moisture content greater
than the optimum moisture content for the material.
Placing Spreading and Compacting of Fill
Approved materialrshall be placed in areas prepared to receive
fill in layers not to exceed six inches in compacted thickness.
Each layer shall have a uniform moisture content in the range
that will allow the compaction effort to be efficiently applied
to achieve the specified degree of compaction to a minimum spec-
ified density with adequately sized equipment, either specifically
designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability. Compaction
shall be continuous over the entire area, and the equipment shall
make sufficient trips to insure that the desired density has been
obtained throughout the entire fill.
When the moisture content of the fill material is below that speci-
fied by the soil engineer, the fill material shall be aerated by
the contractor by blading, mixing, or other satisfactory methods
until the moisture content is as specified.
KETCHUM ENGINEERING INC.
The surface of fill slopes shall be compacted and there shall be
no excess loose soil on the slopes.
Inspection
Observation and compaction tests shall be made by the soil engin-
eer during the filling and compacting operations s.0 that he can
state his opinion that the fill was constructed in accordance with
the specifications.
The soil engineer shall make field density tests in accordance with
A.S.T.M. Test No.Dl556-70. Density tests shall be made in the com-
pacted materials below the surface where the surface is disturbed.
/- When these tests indicate that the density of any layer of fill
or portion thereof is below the specified density, the particular
layer portion shall be reworked until the specified density has
been obtained.
c
The location and frequency of the tests shall be at the soil engin-
eer's discretion. In general, the density tests will be made at
an interval not exceeding two feet in vertical rise and/or 500
r cubic yards of embankment.
Protection of Work
P During construction, the contractor shall properly grade all exca-
vated surfaces to provide positive drainage and prevent ponding of
water. He shall control surface water to avoid damage to adjoin-
ing properties or to finished work on the site. The contractor
shall take remedial measures to prevent erosion of freshly graded
areas and until such time as permanent drainage and erosion control
features have been installed.
KETCHUM . ENGINEERING INC.
Unforeseen Condition
r
In the event that conditions are encountered during the site pre-
paration and construction that were not encountered during the pre-
liminary soil investigation, Ketchum Engineering, Inc., assumes no
r responsibility for conditions encountered which differ from those
conditions found and described in the preliminary soil investiga-
tion report.
