INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
This report presents the results of our geotechnical foundation investigation of soil and geologic
conditions for the proposed 2-story dealership building development and site improvements, as
shown on the reference (1) preliminary grading plan by CDR West, for the AutoNation BMW
Carlsbad Dealership to be located at 1050/1060 Auto Center Court within Car Country Carlsbad
in the City of Carlsbad.
SCOPE

investigation reports by others and the reference ( 5) and ( 6) as-graded and observation and
testing reports by others pertaining to the subject property, current plans and building
sections, and anticipated building loading.
Staked seven (7) hollow stem auger drill holes, coordinated with AutoNation, and contacted
Utility Underground Service Alert (USA/Dig Alert) in order to provide advance notification
of the 7 subsurface drill holes planned within the AutoNation BMW Carlsbad Dealership
project area.
Performed a field subsurface exploration program consisting of advancing one ( 1) hollow
stem auger drill hole to a depth of approximately 50 feet (in order to verify the current
groundwater level) in the footprint of the dealership building, four (4) hollow stem auger
drill hole to a depth of approximately 20 feet adjacent to the building, and two hollow stem
auger drill holes to a depth of approximately 5 feet in the planned bio-retention (infiltration)
areas outside the dealership building and in adjacent parking lot areas. Logged the drill holes
and obtained bulk and drive soil samples for geotechnical laboratory testing. Infiltration
tests were performed concurrently with the two shallow drill hole locations, which was
coordinated with the project civil engineer.
Performed laboratory testing on soil samples obtained from the drill holes. Testing included
moisture and density, particle size, Atterberg Limits, expansion, chemical, compaction,
consolidation, direct shear strength, and R-value tests .
Interpreted and evaluated the newly acquired field and laboratory data and integrated with
the previously obtained existing data by others. Performed geotechnical engineering design

LOCATION
The site is located at 1050 and l 060 Auto Center Court in the City of Carlsbad, California. The site
is bound by Auto Center Court on the south, Car County Drive on the east, Canyon Road on the
north, and asphalt pavement and parking structure on the west. The general location of the project
site is shown on Plate 1.
SITE DESCRIPTION
TOPOGRAPHY AND PREVIOUS GRADING
The subject site is relatively flat, with local gentle northerly gradients from the comer of Auto
Center Court and Car Country Drive towards Canyon Road. Currently, the site is occupied by a
one-story, u-shaped building, asphalt concrete pavement, site walls, and planter areas.
Previous geotechnical investigation for this site was completed in 1987 by Woodward-Clyde
Consultants, which is listed as reference (2). Following the geotechnical investigation in 1987, the
site was mass graded by Kleinfelder in 1988 in accordance with reference (3).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject project site is currently serving as an automotive dealer and repair complex surrounded
by an asphalt concrete pavement parking lot and drives. We understand that the project will consist
of the construction of a new BMW dealership with a 2-story building a rooftop parking. The second
level of the building will be utilized for service. The structure will consist of a concrete columns
and post-tensioned deck, and the front of the showroom will consist of steel-framed structure. It is
also our understanding that the structure will be situated at-grade.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
GMU conducted a subsurface exploration program to evaluate the soil conditions below the
proposed building and parking areas. A total of seven (7) hollow-stem-auger, truck-mounted drill
holes were excavated to a maximum depth of 21.5 feet below the existing grade. The drill hole
locations are shown on Plate 2 -Geotechnical Map. Drill hole logs are contained in Appendix A.
The drill holes were logged by our Staff Geologist, and samples were collected in each of the drill
holes for laboratory testing. Percolation testing was also performed in two (2) of the drill hole
locations (DH-6 and DH-7).
LABO RA TORY TESTING
Laboratory testing for the subject investigation was performed to characterize moisture and density,
particle size distribution, Atterberg Limits, expansion index, maximum density, corrosion, direct
shear, consolidation, and R-value. The results of our laboratory testing are summarized on
Table B-1 and included within Appendix B -Laboratory Testing.
GEOLOGIC FINDINGS
REGIONAL GEOLOGIC SETTING
The subject site is located within the coastal plain section of the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic
province of California. This regional area of northern San Diego County generally consists of low
eroded hills bisected by valleys filled with Quaternary alluvium. The site is underlain by the
Tertiary-age Santiago Formation. Due to previous grading and development activity, this bedrock
unit is locally overlain by a thin unit of artificial fill.

SUBSURFACE MATERIALS
Engineered Fill (Qafc)
Engineered fill soils were encountered in all excavations at the site and consist of brown to dark
brown, damp silty sands. The fills were placed as part of the previous grading operations and are
estimated to be up to 8 feet in depth, with an average of 5 feet in depth. The fill soils largely possess
low plasticity/expansion characteristics. Engineered fill soils were placed in 1988 under the
observation of Kleinfelder (reference (3)).
Santiago Formation (Tsa)
Bedrock of the Santiago Formation underlies the site and was encountered under the fill in borings
DH-1, DH-2, DH-3, DH-4, and DH-5. Where encountered, the bedrock consisted of brown to gray,
damp to moist silty sandstone with interbeds of claystone, siltstone, and fine sandstone. Geologic
structure was not observed in the samples collected; however, based on previous geotechnical
reports and regional publications, structure within the bedrock is expected to be generally horizontal.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was not observed during our exploration to a maximum depth of 51.5 feet below the
existing grade. Groundwater conditions may vary across the site due to stratigraphic and hydrologic
conditions and may change over time as a consequence of seasonal and meteorological fluctuations,
or activities by humans at this site and nearby sites. However, based on the above findings,
groundwater is unlikely to impact the proposed development.
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
FAUL TING AND SEISMICITY
The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, and no known active faults
are shown on the reviewed geologic maps crossing the site, however, the site is located in the
seismically active region of Southern California. The nearest known active faults are the San Rose
Canyon and Newport Inglewood fault systems, which are located approximately 4.5 miles from the
site and capable of generating a maximum earthquake magnitude (Mw) of 6.9 and 7 .5, respectively.
Given the proximity of the site to these and numerous other active and potentially active faults, the
site will likely be subject to earthquake ground motions in the future. A site PGAM of 0.48g was
calculated for the site in conformance with the 2016 CBC. This PGAM is primarily dominated by
earthquakes with a mean magnitude of 6.6 at a mean distance of 8.6 miles from the site using the
USGS 2014 Interactive Deaggregation website.

LIQUEFACTION AND SEISMIC SETTLEMENT
Liquefaction
Based on our review of Figure 3.5-3 of the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report for the
Carlsbad General Plan Update, Chapter 3.5, the site is not located within a zone of potential
liquefaction. In addition, based on the lack of shallow groundwater, relatively uniform soil stratum
across the site, and our liquefaction analysis, it is our professional opinion that the liquefaction
potential at the site is very low.
Secondary Seismic Hazards
Seismically induced dry sand settlement is the ground settlement due to densification ofloose, dry,
cohesionless soils during strong earthquake shaking. Based on our secondary seismic hazard
analysis, it is our professional opinion that the potential for seismically induced dry-sand settlement
is low.
LANDSLIDES
Based on our review of available geologic maps, literature, topographic maps, aerial photographs,
and our subsurface evaluation, no landslides or related features underlie or are adjacent to the subject
site. Due to the relatively level nature of the site and surrounding areas, the potential for landslides
to occur at the project site is considered negligible.
TSUNAMI, SEICHE, AND FLOODING
The site is not located approximately 0.75 miles from the Pacific Ocean, however, it is not located
within a tsunami inundation hazard zone in accordance with the County of San Diego Tsunami
Inundation Map for Emergency Planning.
The potential for the site to be adversely impacted by earthquake-induced seiches is considered to be
negligible due to the lack of any significant enclosed bodies of water located in the vicinity of the
site.
The site is within an area of minimum flooding (Zone X) as defined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA, 2012).

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING FINDINGS
SOIL EXPANSION
Based on our evaluation and experience with similar material types, the sandy soils encountered near
the ground surface at the site exhibit a very low expansion potential.
SOIL CORROSION
Based on laboratory test results for pH, soluble chlorides, sulfate, and minimum resistivity of the site
soils obtained during our subsurface investigation, the on-site soils should be considered to have the
following:
• A negligible sulfate exposure to concrete per ACI 318-14, Table 19.3.2.1
• A high minimum resistivity indicating conditions that are moderately corrosive to ferrous
metals.
• A chloride content of up to 384 ppm (corrosive to ferrous metals).
Metal structures which will be in direct contact with the soil (i.e., underground metal conduits,
pipelines, metal sign posts, etc.) and/or in close proximity to the soil (wrought iron fencing, etc.)
may be subject to corrosion. The use of special coatings or cathodic protection around buried metal
structures has been shown to be beneficial in reducing corrosion potential. Corrosion of ferrous
metal reinforcing elements in structural concrete should be reduced by increasing the thickness of
concrete cover and the use of the recommended maximum water/cement ratio for concrete. The
results of the laboratory chemical tests performed within the site are presented in Table B-1 in
Appendix B.
The laboratory testing program performed for this project does not address the potential for
corrosion to copper piping. In this regard, a corrosion engineer should be consulted to perform more
detailed testing and develop appropriate mitigation measures (if necessary). The above discussion is
provided for general guidance in regards to the corrosiveness of the on-site soils to typical metal
structures used for construction. Detailed corrosion testing and recommendations for protecting
buried ferrous metal and/or copper elements are beyond our purview. If detailed recommendations
are required, a corrosion engineer should be consulted to develop appropriate mitigation measures.
PRELIMINARY PERCOLATION TESTING
Two (2) preliminary percolation tests were performed in general conformance with the County of
San Diego Low Impact Development (LID) Handbook. The percolation drill holes were excavated to
depths ranging from 4 to 5 feet below the existing grade using a hollow-stem-auger, truck-mounted
drill rig. The calculated infiltration rates are presented in the table below. The infiltration rates do
not incorporate a factor of safety.

The preliminary percolation test hole locations are shown on the attached Geotechnical Map, Plate 2.
The results of the percolation testing are summarized in Appendix C of this report and site
infiltration recommendations are presented later in this report.
EXCAVATION CHARACTERISTICS
Rippability
The majority of the soil materials underlying the site can be excavated with scrapers and other
conventional grading equipment.
IN-SITU SOIL MOISTURE CONDITIONS
Both the fill and formation soils are in damp to moist condition. In general, soils within the upper I 0
feet have an average degree of saturation of less than 60%. It should be noted, however, that the
moisture content within the upper several feet may vary depending on rainfall and the time of year in
which grading occurs.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on our geotechnical findings, the following is a summary of our conclusions:
I. The project area is not underlain by any known active faults.
2. Groundwater is not expected to be encountered and is not anticipated to have a significant
impact on the proposed development.
3. The site is not subject to liquefaction nor seismically induced dry sand settlement.
4. Site soils within the at-grade foundation influence zone are anticipated to have a very low
expansion potential based on our recent laboratory test results and local experience.
Recommendations for the proposed developments are based on a "very low to low"
expansive condition.

5. Corrosion testing indicates that the on-site soils have a negligible sulfate exposure and are
moderately corrosive to buried ferrous metals and reinforcing steel. Consequently, any
metal exposed to the soil shall be protected.
6. Based on our percolation testing and calculated infiltration rates, the site soils in the upper 5
feet are deemed not feasible for infiltration of water.
RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL SITE PREPARATION AND GRADING
General
The following recommendations pertain to any required grading associated with the proposed
improvements and corrective grading needed to support the proposed improvements. All site
preparation and grading should be performed in accordance with the City of Carlsbad grading code
requirements and the recommendations presented in this report.
Clearing and Grubbing
All significant organic material such as weeds, brush, tree branches, or roots, or construction debris
such as old irrigation lines, asphalt concrete, and other decomposable material should be removed
from the area to be graded. No rock or broken concrete greater than 6 inches in diameter should be
utilized in the fills.
Corrective Grading
Remedial grading will serve to create a firm and workable platform for construction of the proposed
developments such as new 2-story dealership and associated pavement and site flatwork. The fill
material encountered during our subsurface investigation is competent for support of new
foundations provided that remedial grading is performed in order to densify any disturbed soil that
may be encountered during the grading operation. Based on our review of existing as-graded reports
for the subject site, we understand that portion of the proposed car dealership building will be
situated in engineered fill while the remaining portion will be situated in a cut Santiago Formation.
For structures that will be found in both cut and fill areas should have the cut portion of the building
foundation be supported on at least 3 feet of compacted fill.
It should be noted that the recommendations provided herein are based on our subsurface
exploration and knowledge of the on-site geology. Actual removals may vary in configuration and
volume based on observations of geologic materials and conditions encountered during grading.
The bottom of all remedial grading removals should be observed by a GMU representative to verify

the suitability of in-place soil prior to performing scarification and recompaction. Corrective
grading recommendations are outlined below.
Foundations Within Fill Portion/Slab on Grade: Grading recommendations for support of
new foundations within existing engineered fill and slab on grade should consist of the
following:
o The bottom of the foundation/slab section should be scarified to a depth of at least
8 inches, moisture conditioned to 2% above optimum moisture content, and
recompacted to at least 90% relative compaction.
Foundations Within Cut Portion: Grading recommendations for support of new foundations
within the cut portion should consist of the following:
o The foundation should be excavated to a depth of at least 3 feet below the bottom of
the footing.
o The bottom of the foundation should then be scarified to a depth ofat least 6 inches,
moisture conditioned to 2% above optimum moisture content, and recompacted to at
least 90% relative compaction.
o Following the approval of the over-excavation bottom by a representative ofGMU,
the onsite material may be used as fill material to achieve the planned subgrade
elevation.
o The fill material should then be placed in 6-to-8-inch-thick lifts, moisture
conditioned to at least 2% above optimum moisture content, and compacted to
achieve 90% relative compaction.
Flatwork/Pavement Areas: Grading recommendations for the support of the asphalt and
concrete pavement and flatwork should consist of the following:
o The pavement/flatwork section should be excavated to the bottom of the pavement
structural/flatwork section (i.e., bottom of the aggregate base).
o The bottom of the excavation should then be scarified to a depth of at least 8 inches,
moisture conditioned to least 2% above optimum moisture content, and recompacted
to at least 90% relative compaction.
o Following the approval of the over-excavation bottom by a representative of GMU,
the onsite material may be used as fill material to achieve the planned subgrade
elevation.
o The fill material should then be placed in 6-to-8-inch-thick lifts, moisture
conditioned to at least 2% above optimum moisture content, and compacted to
achieve 90% relative compaction.

Mr. Axay Patel, AUTONATION,

City of Carlsbad, California
If the existing loose fill materials are found to be disturbed to depths greater than the
proposed remedial grading, then the depth of over-excavation and re-compaction should be
increased accordingly in local areas as recommended by a representative of GMU.
Temporary Excavations
Temporary excavations for demolitions, earthwork, footings, and utility trenches are expected. We
anticipate that unsurcharged excavations with vertical side slopes less than 4 feet high will generally
be stable, however, some sloughing of cohesionless sandy materials encountered near the existing
grade at the site should be expected. Our recommendations for temporary excavations are as follows:
• Temporary, unsurcharged excavation sides over 4 feet in height should be sloped no steeper
than an inclination of 1 H: 1 V (horizontal:vertical).
• Where sloped excavations are created, the tops of the slopes should be barricaded so that
vehicles and storage loads do no encroach within 10 feet of the tops of the excavated slopes.
A greater setback may be necessary when considering heavy vehicles, such as concrete
trucks and cranes. GMU should be advised of such heavy vehicle loadings so that specific
setback requirements can be established.
• If the temporary construction slopes are to be maintained during the rainy season, berms are
recommended to be graded along the tops of the slopes in order to prevent runoff water from
entering the excavation and eroding the slope faces.
Our temporary excavation recommendations are provided only as minimum guidelines. All work
associated with temporary excavations should meet the minimal requirements as set forth by CAL-
OSHA Temporary slope construction, maintenance, and safety are the responsibility of the
contractor.
STRUCTURE SEISMIC DESIGN
No active or potentially active faults are known to cross the site, therefore, the potential for primary
ground rupture due to faulting on-site is very low. However, the site will likely be subject to seismic
shaking at some time in the future.
Based on our field exploration and the site soil profile, the site should be designated as Site Class D
based on the measured Standard Penetration Resistance within drill hole DH-3. The seismic design
coefficients based on ASCE 7-10 and 2016 CBC are listed in Table 2 below.

ground shaking as a result of movement along the major active (and potentially active) fault zones
that characterize this region. Design utilizing the 2016 CBC is not meant to completely protect
against damage or loss of function. Therefore, the preceding parameters should be considered as
minimum design criteria.

Minimum Thickness: The minimum slab thickness shall be 6 inches.
Minimum Slab Reinforcement: Minimum slab reinforcement shall not be less than No. 4
bars placed at 18 inches on center. Welded wire mesh is not recommended. Care should be
taken to position the reinforcement bars in the center of the slab.
Slab Subgrade
• The upper 12 inches of the on-site soils and subgrade soil should be moisture
conditioned to 2 percent above the optimum moisture content and compacted to a
minimum relative compaction of90 percent in accordance with the latest version
of ASTM D1557.
• A 4-inch-thick section of compacted ¾-inch crushed rock shall be provided directly
below the slab.
• Place moisture vapor retarder per the Moisture Vapor Transmission section of
this report.
• Sand above the moisture retarder/barrier (i.e., directly below the slab) is not a
geotechnical issue. This should be provided by the structural engineer of record
based on the type of slab, potential for curling, etc.
STRUCTURAL CONCRETE
Laboratory tests indicate that the onsite soils are classified as having a "negligible" sulfate exposure
and "SO" sulfate exposure category per ACI 318-14, Table 19 .3 .1.1. However, due to the low to
moderate soil resistivity and chloride contents obtained from our test result, the on-site soil is
severely corrosive to ferrous metals such as reinforcing steel. On this basis, we recommend that a
Type IIN cement with a maximum water to cement ratio of 0.50 with a minimum compressive
strength of 4,000 psi for structural elements (i.e., foundations, walls, etc.) be used. Utilization of
CBC moderate sulfate level requirements will also serve to reduce the permeability of the concrete

and help minimize the potential of water and/or vapor transmission through the concrete. Wet
curing of the concrete per ACI Publication 308 is also recommended .
Wet curing of the concrete per ACI Publication 308 is also recommended.
The aforementioned recommendations in regards to concrete are made from a soils perspective only.
Final concrete mix design is beyond our purview. All applicable codes, ordinances, regulations, and
guidelines should be followed in regard to the designing a durable concrete with respect to the
potential for sulfate exposure from the on-site soils and/or changes in the environment.
FERROUS METAL CORROSION PROTECTION
The results of the laboratory chemical tests performed on a sample of soil collected within the site
indicate that the on-site soils are corrosive to ferrous metals. Consequently, metal structures which
will be in direct contact with the soil (i.e., underground metal conduits, pipelines, metal sign posts,
etc.) and/or in close proximity to the soil (wrought iron fencing, etc.) may be subject to corrosion.
The use of special coatings or cathodic protection around buried metal structures has been shown to
be beneficial in reducing corrosion potential. Additional provisions will be required to address high
chloride contents of the soil per the 2016 CBC to protect the concrete reinforcement. The laboratory
testing program performed for this project does not address the potential for corrosion to copper
piping. In this regard, a corrosion engineer should be consulted to perform more detailed testing and
develop appropriate mitigation measures (if necessary).
The above discussion is provided for general guidance in regards to the corrosiveness of the on-site
soils to typical metal structures used for construction. Detailed corrosion testing and
recommendations for protecting buried ferrous metal and/or copper elements are beyond our
purview. If detailed testing is required, a corrosion engineer should be consulted to perform the
testing and develop appropriate mitigation measures .
MOISTURE VAPOR TRANSMISSION
Moisture Vapor Retarder
A vapor retarder or barrier equivalent to Stego 15 Mil Class A should be utilized overtop of the
required gravel/stone course. The retarder/barrier should be installed as follows:
o Below moisture-sensitive flooring areas.
o Installed per manufacture's specifications as well as with all applicable recognized
installation procedures such as ASTM E 1643-98.
o Joints between the sheets and the openings for utility piping should be lapped and taped. If
the barrier is not continuously placed across footings/ribs, the barrier should, as a
minimum, be lapped into the sides of the footing/rib trenches down to the bottom of the
trench .

DRAFT
Mr. Axay Patel, AUTONATION,
Geotechnical Investigation Report-AutoNation BMW of Carlsbad, 1050/1060 Auto Center Court,
City of Carlsbad, California
o Punctures in the vapor barrier should be repaired prior to concrete placement.
The need for sand and/or the amount of sand above the moisture vapor retarder should be specified
by the structural engineer. The selection of sand above the retarder is not a geotechnical engineering
issue and is hence outside our purview.
It should be noted that the moisture retarder is intended only to reduce moisture vapor transmissions
from the soil beneath the concrete and is consistent with the current standard of the industry in
building construction in southern California. It is not intended to provide a "waterproof' or "vapor
proof' barrier or reduce vapor transmission from sources above the retarder (i.e., concrete). The
evaluation of water vapor from any source and its effect on any aspect of the proposed building
space above the slab (i.e., floor covering applicability, mold growth, etc.) is outside our purview and
the scope of this report.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Surface drainage should be carefully controlled during and after grading to prevent ponding and
uncontrolled runoff adjacent to the structures. Particular care will be required during grading to
maintain slopes, swales, and other erosion control measures needed to direct runoff toward
permanent surface drainage facilities. Positive drainage of at least 2% away from the perimeters of
the structures and site pavements should be incorporated into the design. In addition, it is
recommended that nuisance water be directed away from the perimeter of the structures by the use of
area drains in adjacent landscape and flatwork areas and roof drains tied into the site storm drain
system.
BIORETENTION AREAS
We recommend that an impermeable liner be installed at the bottom and in the sides of all
bioretention areas at the subject site to prevent lateral water migration into the adjacent structures
and pavements.
UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL CONSIDERATIONS
General
New utility line pipelines should be backfilled with both select bedding materials beneath and
around the pipes and compacted soil above the pipe bedding. Recommendations for the types of the
materials to be used and the proper placement of these materials are provided in the following
sections.

City of Carlsbad, California
Pipe Bedding
The pipe bedding materials should extend from at least 6 inches below the pipes to at least 12 inches
above the crown of the pipes. Pipe bedding should consist of either clean sand with a sand
equivalent (SE) of at least 30 or crushed rock. If crushed rock is used, it should consist of ¾-inch
crushed rock that conforms to Table 200-1.2 of the 2018 "Greenbook." Pipe bedding should also
meet the minimum requirements of the City of Carlsbad. If the requirements of the County are more
stringent, they should take precedence over the geotechnical recommendations. Sufficient
laboratory testing should be performed to verify the bedding meets the minimum requirements of the
Green book.
Based on our subsurface exploration and knowledge of the onsite materials, the soils that will be
excavated from the pipeline trenches will not meet the recommendations for pipe bedding materials;
therefore, imported materials will be required for pipe bedding .
Granular pipe bedding material having a sand equivalent of30 or greater should be properly placed
in thicknesses not exceeding 3 feet, and then sufficiently flooded or jetted in place. With proper
techniques, flooding or jetting is not expected to have an adverse impact on existing site soils.
Crushed rock, if used, should be capped with filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, or equivalent) to prevent the
migration of fines into the rock.
Trench Backfill
All existing soil material within the limits of the pipeline alignment are considered suitable for use
as trench backfill above the pipe bedding zone if care is taken to remove all significant organic and
other decomposable debris, moisture condition the soil materials as necessary, and separate and
selectively place and/or stockpile any inert materials larger than 6 inches in maximum diameter.
Imported soils are not anticipated for backfill since the on-site soils are suitable. However, if
imported soils are used, the soils should consist of clean, granular materials with physical and
chemical characteristics similar to those described herein for on-site soils. Any imported soils to be
used as backfill should be evaluated and approved by GMU prior to placement.
Soils to be used as trench backfill should be moistened, dried, or blended as necessary to achieve a
minimum of 2% over optimum moisture content for compaction, placed in loose lifts no greater than
8 inches thick, and mechanically compacted/densified to at least 90% relative compaction as
determined by ASTM Test Method D 1557.
No rock or broken concrete greater than 6 inches in maximum diameter should be utilized in the
trench backfills.

SITE INFILTRATION
Based on our preliminary percolation test result as discussed previously in this report and as
presented in Appendix C, the two test locations showed inadequate infiltration rates within the upper
5 feet of the site soils. Also, due to the presence of engineered fill and dense to very dense
formation, infiltration at the site is deemed not feasible.
ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT THICKNESS RECOMMENDATIONS
Asphalt Pavement Design
Based on the R-value test results, as well as testing completed in the vicinity, an R-value of 50 was
used for the design. The table below provides recommended minimum thicknesses for asphalt
concrete (AC) and aggregate base sections for two traffic indices.

Asphalt concrete pavement construction should be m accordance with the following
recommendations:
• The planned pavement structural sections should consist of aggregate base materials (AB)
and asphalt concrete materials (AC) of a type meeting the minimum Caltrans and City of
Carlsbad requirements.
• The subgrade soils should be prepared in accordance with the Corrective Grading section of
this report.
• The AB and AC should be compacted to at least 95% relative compaction.

• The subgrade soils should be prepared in accordance with the Corrective Grading section of
this report.
• The AB should be compacted to at least 95% relative compaction.
CONCRETE FLATWORK DESIGN
Due to the moderately expansive nature of the on-site soils, we recommend that the sub grade for the
subject concrete flatwork be moisture conditioned to 2% over optimum to a depth of 12 inches
below finish grade and compacted to 90% relative compaction. A 6-inch-thick section of Class 2
aggregate base (AB) or crushed miscellaneous base (CMB) should then be placed on the compacted
subgrade soils, brought to optimum moisture condition, and compacted to 95% relative compaction
prior to placement of flatwork reinforcing steel and concrete. For flatwork concrete underlain by
aggregate base, Type IIN cement with a maximum water/cement ratio of 0.50 and minimum
compressive strength of 3,250 psi may be used.
Please ref er to the Concrete Flatwork Table below for a summary of our flatwork recommendations:

(5) Final concrete mix design to be supplied by others.
PLANTERS AND TREES
Where new trees or large shrubs are to be located in close proximity of new concrete flatwork, rigid
moisture/root barriers should be placed around the perimeter of the flatwork to at least 2 feet in
depth in order to offer protection to the adjacent flatwork against potential root and moisture
damage. Existing mature trees near flatwork areas should also incorporate a rigid moisture/root
barrier placed at least 2 feet in depth below the top of the flatwork.
PLAN REVIEW/ GEOTECHNICAL TESTING DURING GRADING/ FUTURE
REPORT
Plan Review
GMU should review the final construction plans to confirm that they are consistent with our
recommendations provided in this report.
Geotechnical Testing
Geotechnical observation and testing should be performed by GMU during the following stages of
precise grading and construction:
• During site clearing and grubbing.
• During removal of any buried irrigation lines or other subsurface structures.
• During all phases of grading including over-excavation, temporary excavations,
removals, scarification, ground preparation, moisture conditioning, proof-rolling, and
placement and compaction of all fill materials.
• During grading for the proposed car dealership building.
• During pavement and flatwork section placement and compaction.
• Foundation slab construction.
• When any unusual conditions are encountered.
Future Report
If required, a report summarizing our construction observation/testing services will be prepared at
project completion.

LIMITATIONS
All parties reviewing or utilizing this report should recognize that the findings, conclusions, and
recommendations presented represent the results of our professional geological and geotechnical
engineering efforts and judgements. Due to the inexact nature of the state of the art of these
professions and the possible occurrence of undetected variables in subsurface conditions, we cannot
guarantee that the conditions actually encountered during grading and foundation installation will be
identical to those observed and sampled during our study or that there are no unknown subsurface
conditions which could have an adverse effect on the use of the property. We have exercised a
degree of care comparable to the standard of practice presently maintained by other professionals in
the fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology, and believe that our findings present
a reasonably representative description of geotechnical conditions and their probable influence on
the grading and use of the property.
Because our conclusions and recommendations are based on a limited amount of current and
previous geotechnical exploration and analysis, all parties should recognize the need for possible
revisions to our conclusions and recommendations during grading of the project. Additionally, our
conclusions and recommendations are based on the assumption that our firm will act as the
geotechnical engineer of record during grading of the project to observe the actual conditions
exposed, to verify our design concepts and the grading contractor's general compliance with the
project geotechnical specifications, and to provide our revised conclusions and recommendations
should subsurface conditions differ significantly from those used as the basis for our conclusions and
recommendations presented in this report .
Detailed corrosion testing and recommendations for protecting buried ferrous metal and/or copper
elements are beyond our purview.

APPENDIX A
GMU GEOTECHNICAL EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
AND DRILL HOLE LOGS
DRAFT
Our exploration consisted of one ( l) hollow-stem auger drill hole within the site to a maximum
depth of 50 feet, four (4) hollow-stem auger drill hole within the site to a maximum depth of 20
feet, and two (2) hollow-stem auger drill hole within the site to a maximum depth of 5 feet in
order to provide subsurface information for pavement design, continuous soil data for the
dealership building foundation design, and percolation tests. The approximate locations of the
drill holes are shown on Plate 2 -Geotechnical Map.
Our drill holes were logged, and "undisturbed" samples were taken using a 3.0-inch outside-
diameter drive sampler which contains a 2.416-inch-diameter brass sample sleeve 6 inches in
length. In addition, blow counts recorded during sampling from the drive sampler are shown on
the drill hole logs. Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs) were also taken in the rotary wash drill
holes. Small bulk samples of the material were collected, and blow counts for each SPT and
sleeve sample were recorded on the logs. Bulk samples of the soil materials were also collected
from some of the drill holes. The logs of each drill hole are contained in this Appendix, and the
Legend to Logs is presented as Plate A-1 and A-2.
The geologic and engineering field descriptions and classifications that appear on these logs are
prepared according to Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation standards. Major soil
classifications are prepared according to the Unified Soil Classification System as modified by
ASTM Standard No. 2487. Since the description and classification that appear on the Log of
Drill Hole are intended to be that which most accurately describe a given interval of a drill hole
(frequently an interval of several feet), discrepancies do occur in the Unified Soil Classification
System nomenclature between that interval and a particular sample in that interval. For
example, an 8-foot-thick interval in the Log of Drill Hole may be identified as silty sand (SM)
while one sample taken within the interval may have individually been identified as sandy silt
(ML). This discrepancy is frequently allowed to remain to emphasize the occurrence of local
textural variations in the interval.

APPENDIXB
GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY PROCEDURES AND TEST RESULTS
MOISTURE AND DENSITY
Field moisture content and in-place density were determined for each 6-inch sample sleeve of
undisturbed soil material obtained from the drill holes. The field moisture content was determined
in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 2216 by obtaining one-half the moisture sample
from each end of the 6-inch sleeve. The in-place dry density of the sample was determined by
using the wet weight of the entire sample.
At the same time the field moisture content and in-place density were determined, the soil material
at each end of the sleeve was classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System. The
results of the field moisture content and in-place density determinations are presented on the right-
hand column of the Log of Drill Hole and are summarized on Table B-1. The results of the visual
classifications were used for general reference.
PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
As part of the engineering classification of the materials underlying the site, samples were tested to
determine the distribution of particle sizes. The distribution was determined in general accordance
with ASTM Test Method D 422 using U.S. Standard Sieve Openings 3", 1.5", ¾, 3/s, and U.S.
Standard Sieve Nos. 4, 10, 20, 40, 60, 100, and 200. In addition, on some samples, a standard
hydrometer test was performed to determine the distribution of particle sizes passing the No. 200
sieve (i.e., silt and clay-size particles). The results of the tests are contained in this Appendix B.
Key distribution categories(% gravel;% sand, etc.) are contained on Table B-1.
ATTERBERG LIMITS
As part of the engineering classification of the soil material, samples of the on-site soil material
were tested to determine relative plasticity. This relative plasticity is based on the Atterberg limits
determined in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 4318. The results of these tests are
contained in this Appendix B and also Table B-1.

EXPANSION TESTS
To provide a standard definition of one-dimensional expansion, a test was performed on typical
on-site materials in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 4829. The result from this test
procedure is reported as an "expansion index". The results of this test are contained in this
Appendix B and also Table B-1.
CHEMICAL TESTS
The corrosion potential of typical on-site materials under long-term contact with both metal and
concrete was determined by chemical and electrical resistance tests. The soluble sulfate test for
potential concrete corrosion was performed in general accordance with California Test Method
417, the minimum resistivity test for potential metal corrosion was performed in general
accordance with California Test Method 643, and the concentration of soluble chlorides was
determined in general accordance with California Test Method 422. The results of these tests are
contained in this Appendix B and also Table B-1.
COMPACTION TESTS
Bulk samples representative of the on-site materials were tested to determine the maximum dry
density and optimum moisture content of the soil. These compactive characteristics were
determined in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 1557. The results of this test are
contained in this Appendix B and also Table B-1.
CONSOLIDATION TESTS
The one-dimensional consolidation properties of"undisturbed" samples were evaluated in general
accordance with the provisions of ASTM Test Method D 2435. Sample diameter was 2.416 inches
and sample height was 1.00 inch. Water was added during the test at various normal loads to
evaluate the potential for hydro-collapse and to produce saturation during the remainder of the
testing. Consolidation readings were taken regularly during each load increment until the change
in sample height was less than approximately 0.0001 inch over a two-hour period. The graphic
presentation of consolidation data is a representation of volume change in change in axial load. In
addition, time rate tests were performed for select samples. The results of these tests are contained
in this Appendix B.

DIRECT SHEAR STRENGTH TESTS
Direct shear tests were performed on typical on-site materials. The general philosophy and
procedure of the tests were in accord with ASTM Test Method D 3080 -"Direct Shear Tests for
Soils Under Consolidated Drained Conditions".
The tests are single shear tests and are performed using a sample diameter of 2.416 inches and a
height of 1.00 inch. The normal load is applied by a vertical dead load system. A constant rate of
strain is applied to the upper one-half of the sample until failure occurs. Shear stress is monitored by
a strain gauge-type precision load cell and deflection is measured with a digital dial indicator. This
data is transferred electronically to data acquisition software which plots shear strength vs.
deflection. The shear strength plots are then interpreted to determine either peak or ultimate shear
strengths. Residual strengths were obtained through multiple shear box reversals. A strain rate
compatible with the grain size distribution of the soils was utilized. The interpreted results of this
test are shown in this Appendix B.
R-V ALUE TESTS
Bulk samples representative of the underlying on-site materials were tested to measure the
response of a compacted sample to a vertically applied pressure under specific conditions. The R-
value of a material is determined when the material is in a state of saturation such that water will
be exuded from the compacted test specimen when a 16.8 kN load (2.07 MPa) is applied. The
results from these test procedures are reported in this Appendix B.
