Residential Development, 1585 Triton Street, Carlsbad, San Diego County,
California 92011, Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 215-070-51, City of
Carlsbad Project No.: CDP2017-0043, Drawing No.: 507-5A
Dear Mr. Francis:
In accordance with your request and authorization, and as required by the City of
Carlsbad, GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) has prepared this final geotechnical report summarizing our
geotechnical observations and testing during grading (GSI Phase “B”); post-tensioned (PT)
slab foundation construction and under-slab plumbing trench backfill (GSI Phase “C”); and
retaining wall construction (GSI Phase “F”) at the subject site. Geotechnical observation
and testing during the aforementioned construction tasks commenced in mid-January
2020 and were generally completed in late April 2020. Our services were provided on a
part-time, as-needed basis, as solely determined by representatives of Coble Homes
(Project General Contractor). During earthwork construction, line and grade was the
responsibility of others and not GSI. Unless specifically superseded herein, the
conclusions and recommendations in the project geotechnical reports (see Appendix A)
remain valid and applicable, and should be appropriately implemented during property
landscaping and maintenance activities, and any future development within the subject
parcel.
GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS AND FIELD DENSITY TESTING DURING
GRADING (GSI PHASE “B”)
GSI provided geotechnical observations and field density testing during grading within the
subject property, which occurred in middle to late February 2020, and were substantially
complete by month-end. Grading involved both planned and remedial earthwork.
According to the grading plans prepared by Engineering Design Group ([EDG], 2019), the
planned grading required the placement of additional fills up to approximately 6½ feet thick
and excavations up to approximately ½ foot below the existing grades. Remedial grading
consisted of removing and recompacting undocumented artificial fill and the weathered,
surficial structural (compacted) fill placed during original site grading (GSI, 2004). In
GeoSoils, Inc.
general, remedial grading excavations extended to depths on the order of 1½ feet below
the existing grades. Remedial grading was performed prior to the placement of the new
planned fills.
The geotechnical conditions observed during grading were generally similar to those
encountered during field work performed as part of our 2017 geotechnical update
evaluation (GSI, 2017). The as-graded geotechnical conditions are presented on Plate 1
(“As-Graded Geotechnical Map), which uses EDG (2019) as a base.
Compacted fill materials typically consisted of imported granular soils blended with the
onsite (native) earth materials. The compacted fills were moisture conditioned, placed in
relatively thin lifts, and compacted to at least 90 percent of the laboratory maximum (per
ASTM D 1557), where tested. Based on our observations and field density testing, the
compacted fill materials, placed during the recent phase of grading, under purview of this
report, are considered suitable for their intended use from a geotechnical perspective.
GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING DURING PT SLAB FOUNDATION
CONSTRUCTION AND UNDER-SLAB PLUMBING TRENCH BACKFILL
(GSI PHASE “C”)
PT Slab Foundation Excavation Observations
Prior to concrete placement for the PT slab foundation of the new residential structure, GSI
observed the foundation excavations. Based on our observations, the excavations for the
PT slab foundation extended into suitable bearing materials and were in general
accordance with the recommendations in GSI (2017).
Under-Slab Plumbing Trench Backfill
GSI performed field density testing on the under-slab plumbing trench backfill materials
after the trenches were backfilled to the approximate pad grade elevation. The backfill
generally consisted of the blended import and native soils. The field density tests results
indicated that the backfill materials were moisture conditioned and compacted to at least
90 percent of the laboratory standard (per ASTM D 1557), where tested.
GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING DURING RETAINING WALL
CONSTRUCTION (GSI PHASE “F”)
During retaining wall construction, GSI observed the foundation excavations for the
San Diego Regional Standard Design (SDRSD) C-02 and C-04 retaining walls. In addition,
we observed the subdrain construction for the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall. Lastly, GSI
performed field density testing during the backfill of the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall.

Retaining Wall Foundation Excavation Observations
The foundation excavations for the SDRSD C-02 and C-04 retaining walls were observed
by GSI prior to the placement of concrete. In order to avoid surcharging the recently
constructed retaining wall along the northern property boundary of the adjacent southern
property, the foundation excavation for the east-west segment of the SDRSD C-04 retaining
wall was deepened such that a 1:1 (horizontal:vertical [h:v]) plane projected down and
toward the south from the bottom, outboard edge of the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall footing
passed below the foundation for the adjacent, offsite retaining wall. In addition, the
foundation excavation for the north-south segment of the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall was
deepened into unweathered Quaternary-age very old paralic deposits, considered
formational earth materials at the subject site, in order to provide suitable bearing support
and to reduce the potential for this wall segment to experience deformations occurring
within the nearby “flexible,” mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall system on
the adjacent western property. GSI’s observations indicated that the retaining wall
foundation excavations for both retaining walls extended into suitable bearing materials
and generally conformed to our recommendations.
Retaining Wall Subdrain Observation
GSI observed the subdrain construction for the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall. The subdrain
consisted of a 4-inch diameter, perforated, high density polyethylene (HDPE) drain pipe
with the perforations oriented down. The drain pipe was encased in ¾-inch gravels that
were wrapped in filter fabric (Mirafi 140N). Prior to subdrain construction for the north-
south segment of the wall, fill materials were placed atop the lowered retaining wall footing,
moisture conditioned, and compacted to at least 95 percent of the laboratory standard (per
ASTM D 1557), where field density testing was performed. Plastic sheeting was then
placed above the compacted fill from the backside of the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall stem
to the heel of the wall footing. The purpose of compacting this fill to at least 95 percent of
the laboratory standard (per ASTM D 1557) and the placement of the plastic sheeting
beneath the retaining wall subdrain was to direct subsurface water that may accumulate
behind the retaining wall into the subdrain. Based on our observations, the subdrain
construction for the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall generally conformed to our
recommendations.
Retaining Wall Backfill
GSI performed field density testing during the backfill of the SDRSD C-04 retaining wall.
The results of the field density tests indicated that the backfill was compacted to at least
90 percent of the laboratory standard (per ASTM D 1557), where tested.

FIELD DENSITY TESTING
1. Field density tests were performed using the nuclear densometer (ND) method, in
general accordance with ASTM D 6938-10 (Procedure A) and the sand cone
method, in general accordance with ASTM D 1556. The compaction test results
are presented in the attached Table 1.
2. The field dry densities of the compacted fill materials were evaluated as a
percentage of the maximum dry density attained in the laboratory for the
representative earth material types, encountered during earthwork construction.
Where field density testing indicated inadequate compaction or moisture content
(as warranted), the failure area was reworked until the recommended compaction
and moisture content was achieved.
3. Field density tests were taken at periodic intervals and random locations to check
the compaction of the fill placed by the contractor.
LABORATORY TESTING
Maximum Density and Optimum Moisture Content Testing
The maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for the major soil types,
encountered during earthwork construction, were evaluated in the laboratory in general
accordance with test method ASTM D 1557. The following table presents the maximum
dry densities and optimum moisture contents of the soils encountered during earthwork
construction.

Expansion Index
A representative sample of compacted fill placed within the building pad area was
subjected to expansion index testing. Expansion index (E.I.) testing and expansion
potential classification were performed in general accordance with ASTM Standard D 4829.
The results of the expansion index testing are presented in the following table:

Corrosion Testing
A representative sample of the compacted fill placed within the building pad was evaluated
for soil corrosivity and soluble sulfates, and chlorides. The testing included evaluations of
soil pH, soluble sulfates, chlorides, and saturated resistivity. The test results are presented
in the following table and in Appendix B.

Corrosion Summary
The laboratory test results indicate that the tested sample of the compacted fill, placed
within the building pad, is neutral with respect to soil acidity/alkalinity; is moderately
corrosive to exposed, buried metals when saturated; has negligible concentrations of
soluble sulfates (“Exposure Class S0” per Table 19.3.2.1 of American Concrete Institute
[ACI] 318-14); and has a relatively low concentration of soluble chlorides that is below
action levels. GSI does not consult in the field of corrosion engineering. Thus, consultation
from a qualified corrosion consultant may be considered based on the level of corrosion
protection required for the project, as determined by the Project Architect, Structural
Engineer, Civil Engineer, and Plumbing/Mechanical Engineer.
CONCLUSIONS
The earthwork construction under the purview of this report is considered to be in general
conformance with the preliminary recommendations contained in GSI (2017), GSI’s field
recommendations, applicable conditions of the grading permit, Appendix Chapter J of the
2019 California Building Code (California Building Standards Commission, 2019), and with
the requirements of the City of Carlsbad Grading Code and Ordinances, from a
geotechnical standpoint. Where field density testing was performed, the compacted fill
