Subject : Preliminary Soils
Engineering Investigation
Proposed Commercial Development
Ten (10) Acre Parcel on the
South Boundary of Palomar Oaks
Phase III, Palomar Airport Road
Carlsbad, California
Pursuant to your request , a Preliminary Soils Engineering Investigation
was performed at the subject site. The purpose of the investigation
was to determine the general engineering characteristics of the soils
on and underlying the site and to provide specific r ecommendations for
the design of foundations.
The proposed development will be a planned business center. Cut and
fill grading techniques will be emp oyed to develop level building pads
for concrete tilt-up construction. Structural loads are not known at
this time, but for the purpose of this report, they are assumed at the
eighty (80) kip range f or column loads and wall loads in the range of
three aJ d one-half (3.5) kips per lineal foot.
SITE CONDITIONS
The subject s i te is an irregular shaped parcel, approximat ely ten (10)
acres in size. It follows an east-west trending canyon f or approximately
800 feet south of Palomar Airport Road in the City of Carlsbad . At the
time of our investigation, the site consisted of steep t o gentle hills
covered with dense chaparell . The lower t opoer aphic regions consist of
natural drainage paths dotted with oak trees and covered with chaparell.
Many piles of trash are spread over the sit e.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
A field investigation wa s perf ormed in December, 1981, consisting of
the excavation o f eleven (11 ) excavations by both tractor mounted
backhoe equipment at l oc a tions shown on the a ct ache<l ~lan. As
~he test pits were advanced, the s oi l s were visually classi~iec
by the Field Engineer. Logs of the test oits :1re shor~ in t~e
Boring Logs .
Undisturbed samples for detailed testing i n our laboratory were obtained
by pushing or driving a sampling spoon into the material. A solid
barrel-ty~e spoon was used having an inside diameter of 2 .50 inches
with a tapered cutting tip at the lower end and a ball valve at the
upper end. The barrel is lined with thin brass rings. each one (l")
inch in length. The spoon penetrated i m:o the soil below the depth of
boring approximately twelve (12") inches. The central portion of this
sample was retained for testing. All samples in their natural field
condition were sealed in air-tight containers and transported to the
laboratory.
FILL CONDITIONS
Piles of trash encountered over the entire site were estimated to
contain approximately 12,000 cubic yards.
NATURAL CONDITIONS
Natural ground encountered in the test pies appear to vary slightly
throughout the site a s indicated in the Bor i ngs Logs.
Groundwater was not encounter ed and caving did no t occur in any of the
test pits.
LABORATORY TESTING
Shear tests were made wi ch a direct shear machine o f the strain control
type in which the rat e of strain is 0.05 inches per minute . The machine
is so designed that tests ma y be perf ormed ensuring a minimum of distur-
bance from the field conditions . Saturated specimens were subjected to
s hear under v a rious normal loa ds . The results of t ests based

values, are presented on Plat e A.
W.O. V-11401
Consolidation tests were performed on in-situ moisture and s aturated
specimens of typical soils. The consolidometer, like the direct shea r • machine, is designed to receive the specimens in the field condition.
Porous stones, placed at the top of the specimens, permit the free
flow of water into or from the specimens during the test . Successive
load increments were applied to the top of the specimen and progressive
and final load settlement s under each increment were recorded to an
accuracy of 0.0001 inch. The final settlements so obtained are plotted
to determine the curves shown on Plate Band B2.
Expansion tests were performed on typical spe~imens of natural soils.
These tests were performed in accord2nce with the procedures outlined
in U.B.C. Standard 29-2. Results of these tests are presented in
Table I and indicate the soil to exhibit a very low to high expansion
potential.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of our investigation, development of the site as proposed
is considered feasible from a soils engineering standpoint provided
that the recommendations stated herein are incorporat ed in the design
of foundation systems and are implemented in the field.
If the encountered fill mat~rials will be re-used, it shall be cleansed
of any deleterious substances and replaced as compacted fill in accor-
dance with the attached "Specifications for Grading". Only thirty-five
(35) to forty (40%) percent of fill materials is es t imated to be re-
usable.
Existing trees and low ve getation shall be stripped and hauled from the
• site.
•
The loose upper soils shall be overexcavated to competent materials.
The overexcavatcd materials shall be cleansed of any deleterious sub-
stances and replaced as compacted fill in accor dance with the attached
"Specifications for Grading". The Boring Logs indicate that the depth
of loose soils varies from one (l') foot t o seven (7') feet.

The average depth o f excava t ion is estimated at approximately two (2')
feet, based on the Boring Logs. The exact depth of excavation shall
be ~xamined and determined by the Field Engineer at the time of grading.
Fill slopes shall be c onstructed by benching into existing slopes.
Benches shall be a minimum of eight (8') feet wide and shall be
inspected by the Soils Engineer.
Site drainage should be dispersed by non-erodable devices in a manner
to preclude concentrated runoff over graded and natural slopes in
accordance with requirements .
. The entire grading operation shall be done i n accordance with the
attached "Specifications for Grading".
All grading and/or foundat ion plans shall be reviewed by the Soil
Engineer.
SLOPES
Cut and fill slopes shall be protected from water erosion by planting
or other approved methods.
FOUNDATIONS
The proposed structures shall be supported by isolated and continuous
spread footings placed a minimum depth of twelve (12") inches below
lowest adjacent finish grade utilizing a recormnended safe bearing value
of 1700 pounds per square f oot and 1400 pounds per square foot,
respectively. This value is f or dead plus live load and may be increased
by one-third (1/3) for total including seismic and wind loads where
allowed by code. Increases in bearing capacity for increases in footing
dimensions are tabulated below:
Minimum Minimum Bearing Increase
~ Deeth Width Value De:eth Width Maximum
(inches) (inches) (psf) (psf/ft)(psf/ft)
Continuous 12 12 1400 350 120 3000
Isolated 12 12 1700 350 95 3500

Birtcher Pacific
Page 5
W.O. V-11401
Footings which span from native ma t erial to compacted fill shall
be reinforced with a minimum of f our (4) # 5 bars top and bottom. to
c ontrol potential differential movement.
Footings placed on or adjacent to slopes shall have a minimum horizontal
distance of five (5') feet from the base of the footings to the face of
the slope.
EXPANSIVE SOILS
Results of expansion tests indicate that the soils vary from a very
low to high expansion potential with the predominant amount in the low
to medium expansion potential range . Recommen1ations for these
conditions are shown on the accompanying Expansive Soil Recommendations
chart. Plate C. Expansion tests sh ould be performed at the completion
of rough grading to determine final recommendations.
UTILITIES
No groundwater was encountered in the borings and should not be a
factor in the development of the undergound utilities. No caving
occurred in the borings. All regulations of the State of California
Industrial Safety Commission and the 1970 OSHA requirements should be
observed during all underground work. Any excess material from footing
or utility trenches which is placed in slab areas shall be treated in
accordance with the attached "Specifications for Grading" and placed
as compacted fill. Imperfect trench backfill will be designed if
required as soon as grading plans are available .
SUBSIDENCE AND SHRINKAGE
Subsidence over the site is anticipated to be on the order of 0 .20 feet.
Shrinkage of reworked material should be in the range of twenty (20%)
percent.
LATERAL DESIGN
Lateral restraint at the b a se of footings on slabs may be ass·1med to be
the product o f the dead load a nd a coefficie nt of friction of 0.40.
Passive pressure on the face of footings and grade beams may a l so be used

to resist lateral forces. A passive pressure of zero at the surface
of finished grade, increasing at the rate of 260 pounds per square foot
of depth to a maximum value of 3000 pounds per square foot may be used
for natural soil and compacted.fill at t his site. If passive pressure
and friction are combined when evaluating the lateral resistance, the
value of the passive pressure should be limited to two-thirds (2/3) of
the values given above .
FLOOR SLABS
The recommendations for slabs will be provided when the final expansion
tests are performed and determined at the time of completion of rough
grading.
PAVEMENT SECTION
Final pavement sections should be based on the results of R-Value
determinations per.formed at the completion of rough grading. For
planning purposes, an R-Value of fif teen (15) has been assumed. Use
of this assumed value, together wich Traffic Indexes (TI) of 3.5 for
parking and 5.0 for driveways, results in the following sections:
PAVEMENT SECTIONS
AREA TI GE AC AB SUBGRADE
Driveways 5.0 1.50 3" 10" *12"
Parking 3.5 0.95 311 3. 5" *12"
*Compacted to 90% relative compaction
RETAINING WALLS
The recommendations for design of retaining walls will be provided
when the height and locations are determined .
The recommendations of chis report are based on the assumption that the
soil conditions do not deviate from those disclosed in the borings. If
any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during con-
struction, ACTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS should be notified. This
office should also be notified and provided with finalized plans
should any of the following pertinent to the site development occur:
