SITE INSPECTION
Proposed Retaining Wall Site
3559 & 3561 Corte Esperanza
City of Carlsbad
Dear Ms. Styr & Mr. Chalepas:
SCOPE
In accordance with your request, a Site Inspection has been performed at the subject site. The
purpose of this investigation was to examine existing site conditions and provide engineering
recommendations for the proposed accessory dwelling unit and garage both one story with
slab construction and restraining walls up to 6 feet in height, and retaining walls up to six feet
in height. The proposed accessory dwelling unit will be located on the northeast side of the
property and theproposed garage will be on the north end of the property by the driveway.
There will be a retaining wall between the two structures. The estimated loading for
continuous footings is 120 psf per foot and for isolated footings the estimated maximum
loading is 800 psf.
FIELD INSPECTION
In order to accomplish this purpose, a representative of this firm visited the site, reviewed the
topography and site conditions and visually and textually classified the surface and near
surface soils. Representative samples of the on-site soils were obtained from a test excavation
approximately 5 feet in height and tested for density, shear strength and expansive
characteristics.

SITE CONDITIONS
The subject site is located on the southeast side at the end of the east cul-de-sac on Corte
Esperanza. The site is relatively level in the house pad area and approximately 2 feet above
street level. There is a 2:1 approximately 10 foot high slope at the rear or southeast portion of
the property sloping down into the open space. There is an approximate 20+/- foot high
engineered fill upsiope along the northeastern property line. The property is occupied by a
single family residence, swimming pool and a covered patio. Neighboring properties are
occupied by residential structures. Fill materials for landscaping were approximately 12
inches in depth; soft fill soils were encountered to a depth of 5 feet during the course of this
inspection. Based on a review of the grading plans, it does not appear that the proposed
temporary cuts will undermine the improvements on the neighboring property. The temporary
cuts if required, should comply with OSHA standards. The proposed cuts will be a minor
disturbance to the slope. Any deviation and we should be contacted.
A stability fill slope with a buttress keyway was created on the cut slope of the north
northeastern slope. The stability fill slope key was excavated along the toe of slope a
minimum of 5 feet in depth and a minimum of 15 feet wide. A subdrain was placed at the
bottom of the stability fill backcut for the slope between lots 34 to 38 and has been outletted
into the open space south of the subject site. The approximate location of this subdrain is
shown on Plate I. This subdrain should be located a minimum of 5 feet in depth and is
surrounded by 3 cubic feet of clean /4 inch gravel and wrapped in Marifi 140N geofibric.
During the grading excavation, if the contractor encounters the subdrain, care should
be taken to not damage it. Any damage should be repaired and replaced in kind.
GEOLOGY AND SOIL CONDITIONS
Soils encountered in the test exploration fill soils consisting of loose, dark brown, sandy loam
to approximately 1 foot in depth. These surface soils were underlain with soft, grey to tan,
silty sandy clays sands to the bottom of the excavation approximately 5 feet in depth. Density
of the soils was determined by visual inspection and probe method. Please see Plate II for
more detail.
Reference to the geologic and Landslide Hazard Identification Map of the Rancho Santa Fe
Quadrangle Tan (1986) indicates that the property is underlain (beneath any fill that may
be present) by the Scripps Formation. This Eocene-aged geologic unit is composed of
interbedded white to gray brown medium-grained sandstone and interbeds of brown
claystone and sandy claystone. Bedding, except where affected by faulting, generally dips
to the west and southwest at inclinations of 5 to 15 degrees.
For additional geologic statement about the existing soil type see 3.0 Engineering Geologic
Summary, subsections 3.1 through 3.5 of the referenced Leighton Engineering Report.

Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 11 48A4-19 November 6, 2019
Some of the soils we encountered were considered to be critically expansive with respect to
change in volume with change in moisture content.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A representative sample of the foundation soil was remolded to 90% of maximum
dry density. Based on the following test results, a safe allowable bearing value of
at least 1500 pounds per square foot based on 12 inch deep footings may be used in
designing the foundations and slab for the proposed structures. This is for bearing
value only and not an indication of proposed footing depth. This value may be
increased by one third for wind and/or seismic loading. This value may be
increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of depth and or width to a
maximum of 3 times the designated value. The tests were performed in general
accordance with ASTM standards and other accepted methods.
The critically expansive soils encountered during this inspection should not be used
to support the proposed structure. It is our recommendation that these soils in the
proposed building areas be removed to a minimum depth of 3 to 5 feet and the
critically expansive soils exported. It is our understanding that the proposed
excavation will extend 5 feet in depth for the restraining walls and the proposed
structures and 3 feet in depth for the patio area. The excavation should extend at
least 5 feet outside the proposed building footprints and a minimum of 3 feet on the
side where the open space limits space. Prior to placing fill, Tencate Mirafi RS280i
should be installed on the native soils per manufacturer's instructions. Import soils
that are not detrimentally expansive (El <30) should be placed and compacted to 90
percent compaction in accordance with the Grading Specifications in this report.
The import soils should used for the proposed retaining wall backfill. Any organic
or other deleterious material that may be encountered should be removed prior to
recompaction. During the grading operation, the critically expansive soils
encountered should not be placed within 3 feet of finish grade. Any critically
expansive soils within the top 3 feet must be removed from the building area to
achieve uniformly non-expansive soils for the building foundation.
It is our understanding that the retaining wall will be constructed separate or isolated
from the proposed structures. If the footings for the retaining wall will be founded in
the critically expansive onsite soils, the area under the footing should be lined with 3
inch minus angular crushed rock to a depth of 6 inches and compacted in. We should
be present to observe the placement and compaction of the rock. If this is not the
case, the soils under the wall footings must be removed and replaced in accordance
with the previous recommendations. The contractor has the responsibility to consider
3
Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 11 48A4-19 November 6, 2019
the construction stage measurement to determine if temporary shoring is required. If
it is required, he should consult the engineer of record for the design.
Structural footings should be founded on a uniform soil type and entirely on
uniformly placed on structural fill or competent native soils. The estimated maximum
values for the Total Settlement is 1 ¼ inch and for the Differential Settlement is 5/8
inch.
Once the critically expansive soils are capped with nonexpansive soils the following
recommendations may be used for the proposed structures and restraining walls.
Conventional spread footings founded a minimum of 24 inches below lowest adjacent
grade and having a width determined by the allowable soil bearing value as detailed
above are recommended for foundation support. Footing widths should be at least 12 inches for continuous footings and 24 inches for square footings due to practical
considerations as well as Building Code requirements. These recommendations are
based upon the soil type encountered and do not take into consideration the proposed
bearing load. The actual footing width should be determined by the design engineer
based on his design load.
Footings for the proposed accessory dwelling structure should be placed a
minimum of 8 feet back from the top of slope or deepened such that the face of the
footing at the level of the bottom is at least 8 feet from the face of slope at that level.
Reinforcing in footings should consist of at least one #4 steel bar placed continuously
in the top and bottom of continuous footings regardless of structural requirements.
Reinforcing for isolated footings is dictated by the structural requirements. These
recommendations are based upon on the soil type encountered and do not take into
consideration the proposed bearing load. Footings deeper than 24 inches should have
an additional #4 steel bar for each additional foot of depth.
The onsite soils encountered during the site inspection should not be used to backfill
the retaining wall. The backfill material should be SE30 sand or better. The wall
should not be backfilled until the masonry has reached an adequate strength per the
structural design engineers' design, 28 days after the pour or upon approval by the
special inspector.
Based on a review of the grading plans Carlsbad Trract No 89-18, Lot 32, in our professional opinion, it does not appear that the proposed temporary cuts will
undermine the improvements on the neighboring property or of the stability of the slope. The temporary cuts should comply with OSHA standards; however, we do not
know the means and methods of the contractor so we cannot give recommendations or
Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 11 48A4-19 November 6,2019
the possible need for shoring. If shoring is required, the engineer of record should be
contacted. The engineered fill slope along the northeasterly property side is
approximately 20+/- feet high. This site demonstrates that inactions of 2:1 (H:V) or
flatter. No visual evidence of slope disturbance was noted at the time of our inspection of the site. Based on our experience with similar conditions, the slope, which is
comprised of landscaped, dense, clays, will demonstrate a minimum factor of safety
against deep seated failures in excess 1.5.
If shoring is required, OSHA standards should be used for Type A soil.
All benched excavations 20 feet or less in depth shall have a maximum allowable
slope of 3/4 to 1 and maximum bench dimensions as follows:
A 1
20' M".3/4
SIMPLE BENCH
It should be noted that the contractor is solely responsible for designing and
constructing stable, temporary excavations and may need to shore, slope, or bench the
sides of trench excavations as required to maintain the stability of the excavation
sides. The contractor's "competent person", as defined in the OSHA Construction
Standards for Excavations, 29 CFR,, Part 1926, should evaluate the soil exposed in the excavations as part of the contractor's safety process. Temporary cut slopes should be
constructed in accordance with the recommendations presented in this section. In no
other case should slope height, slope inclination, or excavation depth, including utility
trench excavation depth, exceed those specified in local, state, and federal safety
regulations.
If a Concrete Slab-On-Grade, SOG is proposed, it should be designed by the
project's structural engineer based on anticipated loading conditions. We
recommend that conventional reinforced concrete SOG for this project be founded
on 6 inches of Class II Virgin Aggregate Base (with approximately 2% +/- over
optimum moisture content and 90% compaction, relative to the lab maximum dry
density, ASTM D 1557), overlying a 12 inch thick zone of adequately placed and
compacted structural fill. We recommend that a moisture barrier be provided by a
5
Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 1148A4-19 November 6, 2019
membrane, visqueen 10 culls in minimum thickness or equivalent, be placed at top
of well compacted Class II Aggregate Base, then covered with 2 inches of moist
clean sand having a minimum sand equivalent of 30 when tested in accordance with
the American Society of Testing and Materials test method 'ASTM D1555 or as an
alternative the updated AC! standard recommends that a moisture barrier of 15 mils
in minimum thickness or equivalent, be placed at top of well compacted Class II
Aggregate Base without the 2 inches of sand between the moisture barrier and the
concrete.
Floor slabs, as a minimum, should be 5 inches thick with #4 reinforcing steel at 16"
on-center each way. Reinforcement should be placed at mid-height of the slab. The
final slab thickness and reinforcement should be determined by the structural
design engineer. We recommended concrete mix should use Type 5 cement, water
cement ratio 0.4, concrete compressive strength of 4500psi. Concrete curing
method can be blanket cover, spray retarding compound or spraying water
regularly. Control joints should be provided in accordance with the
recommendations of the structural design engineer.
Resistance to horizontal movement may be provided by allowable soil passive
pressure and/or coefficient of friction of concrete to soil. The allowable passive
pressure may be assumed to be 250 psf at the surface and increasing at the rate of 150
psf per foot of depth. These pressures assume a frictionless vertical element, no
surcharge and level adjacent grade. If these assumptions are incorrect, we should be
contacted for values that reflect the true conditions. The values are for static
conditions and may be increased 1/3 for wind and/or seismic loading. The coefficient
of friction of concrete to soil may be safely assumed to be 0.3.
Active pressures for the design of unrestrained, cantilevered, individually supported
retaining walls, capable of slight movement away from load may be considered to be
equivalent to the pressures developed by a fluid with a density of 45 pcf. This value
assumes a vertical, smooth wall and level drained backfill. We should be contacted
for new pressures if these assumptions are incorrect. Restrained walls, incapable of
movement away from load without damage such as basement walls, should be
designed for the additional equivalent fluid of 36 pcf applied triangularly for
cohesionless type soils and trapezoidally for cohesive type soils.
If the back fill is 2:1 slope behind the top of the wall, the wall should be designed as
the additional wall height for the actual wall height divided by 2. e.g.: If the actual
retaining wall is 6 feet from the top of footing to the top of the wall, then the wall
height design load should be 6 feet plus 672 = 3 feet. The wall should be designed for
9 feet in height.
Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 1148A4-19 November 6, 2019
The above design values and foundation design assume that the retaining walls are located in
soils similar to those we tested during our site inspection.
SEISMIC LOADING FOR RETAINING WALLS
The seismic event induced dynamic load should be added to the lateral static
pressures on basement, foundation and retaining walls for projects located in seismic
design categories D, E or F.
The following is the calculation for the dynamic load, which should be applied in
addition to the static loads.

The resultant dynamic load acts at a height of 0.6H above the base of the
wall.
The dynamic load is represented as an inverted triangular pressure distribution.
These lateral earth pressures assume the walls are totally drained with no water
behind them and assume there is no. surcharge applied. If there is any surcharge
applied, it should be considered accordingly.

RETAINING WALL DRAINAGE
For the restraining walls, the waterproofing: BG 2000 by Multicoat Corporation, being a
water base coating, follows the manufacture for their recommendation. Place coating on top
of footing and up on the inside of cmu wall to the top below the proposed slab (or equal).
All wall drains shall be of 4 inch slotted drain pipe by (SDR-35-4") with a sock coverage
throughout. The pipe shall have a minimum of 1 percent fall. Place Tencate geosynthectics-
mirafl N-140, nonwoven (or equal) in a burrito wrap around the % inch washed crushed
rock. The minimum thickness of crushed rock around the pipe is 4 inches on all sides. The
contractor shall vibrate every 2 feet of lift to interlock the rock.
For the retaining wall, the contractor can either follow the recommendations above or install
a slotted pipe design or every six feet have a block turned on its side at 6-foot intervals and
place half-inch galvanize wire between two layers of Tencate geosynthectics-mirafi N-140,
nonwoven with 3/4 inch crushed rock behind for the full width and length of the block.
All pipes shall have the labels up and glued and inspected prior to backfilling.
F;]
Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 11 48A4-19 November 6, 2019
SURFACE DRAINAGE
It is with the understanding that no surface drainage system ties together with the retaining
wall drainage system.
The minimum slope for the surface drainage system shall be 2 percent fall and for self
cleaning slope shall be 3 percent fall. When you go below 2 percent fall slope than you will
need to increase the pipe size one size larger and if you go below 1 percent fall than the pipe
size will be the minimum of 6 inch pipe.
Connecting catch basins, down spots, landscape area drains to the main drainage system tie
into the pipe using street ells or large sweeps. This will permit the use of snakes, and cameras
for maintaining the drainage lines. Contractor shall place a clean out at the property line on
all drainage pipes prior to discharge.
The design of all drainage systems shall be shown and labeled/identified on the plan. All
drainage pipes shall have either a headwall or projecting out from a retaining wall, face of
curb, and be shown as a detail on the plans if a discharge at grade.
All pipes shall have the labels up and glued and inspected prior to backfiuing.
SITE EROSION CONTROL
During the construction, surface water should be controlled via berms, gravel bags and/or
sandbags, silt fence, straw wattles, siltation basins, while maintaining positive surface
grades or other methods to avoid damage to the finish work or adjoining properties. All
site entrances and exits must have coarse gravel or steel shaker plates to minimize offsite
sediment tracking. Best management Practices (BMP's) must be used to protect storm
drains and minimize pollution. The contractor should take measures to prevent erosion of
graded areas until such time as permanent drainage and erosion control measures have been
installed. After completion of grading, all excavated surfaces should exhibit positive
drainage and eliminate areas where water might pond.
SITE AND SURFACE DRAINAGE
Drainage at the site should be directed away from foundations, collected and tight lined to
appropriate discharge points. Consideration may be given to collecting roof drainage by
eave gutters and directing it away from foundations via non-erosive devices. Water, either
natural or from irrigation, should not be permitted to pond, saturate the surface soils or
flow towards the foundation. Landscaping requiring a heavy irrigation schedule should not
be planted adjacent to foundations or paved areas. The type of drainage issues found within
Britt Styr & Allen Chalepas File No. 1148A4-19 November 6, 2019
the project and materials specified and used should be determined by the Engineer of
Record.
GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATERS
There was no indication of a near-surface groundwater table within our exploratory trench
or perched groundwater. Although groundwater is not expected to be a significant
constraint to the proposed development, our experience indicates that near-surface
groundwater conditions can develop in areas where no such groundwater conditions
previously existed, especially in areas where a substantial increase in surface water
infiltration results from landscape irrigation or unusually heavy precipitation. It is
anticipated that site development will include appropriate drainage provisions for control
and discharge of surface water runoff. The type of drainage issues found within the project
and materials specified and used should be determined by the Civil Engineer. The type of
plants and soil specified along with proper irrigation used should be determined by the
Landscape Architect.
The following grading specifications should be utilized.
