FINAL REPORT OF TESTING AND OBSERVATION
SERVICES DURING SITE GRADING
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request and, our proposal dated December 6, 1996 , we have provided
compaction testing and observation services during the grading of the subject site. Our services
were performed during the period of May 9, 1997 through November 20, 1997. The scope of our
services included the following:
Observing the grading operation, including the removal and/or processing of loose topsoils,
colluvium, and landslide debris.
Performing in-place density tests in fill placed and compacted at the site.
Performing laboratory tests to aid in evaluating the compaction, expansion, and shear strength
characteristics of various soil conditions encountered and/or used for fill.
Providing on-site geologic consultation services to verify that grading was performed in
substantial conformance with the recommendations of preliminary project geotechnical reports.
Preparing an "As-Graded" Geologic Map.
Preparing this final report of grading.
GENERAL
The grading contractor for the project was Sukut Construction, Incorporated. The project mass
grading .plans were prepared by Rick Engineering Company and are entitled Grading Plans for
Rancho Carrillo, Sheet 39, City of Carlsbad approval dated November 14, 1996. The project soils

report is entitled: Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation. Villages N. 0, Q. R. T. and U. Rancho
Carrillo, Carlsbad. California, prepared by Geocon Incorporated, dated February 16, 1993.
References to elevations and locations herein were based on surveyor's or grade checker's stakes in
the field and/or interpolation from the referenced Grading Plans. Geocon Incorporated did not
provide surveying services and, therefore, has no opinion regarding the accuracy of the as-graded
elevations or surface geometry with respect to the approved grading plans or proper surface
drainage.
GRADING
Grading began with the removal of brush and vegetation from the area to be graded. In addition to
the vegetation, topsoils, colluvium, and landslide debris were removed to firm natural ground. In
general, the landslide deposits were removed in segments. After removal, the excavations were
observed by an engineering geologist to verify that the landslide debris (identified as Landslide B)
had been removed and dense formational soils were exposed.
Prior to placing fill, the exposed ground surface was scarified, moisture conditioned, and compacted.
Fill soils derived from on-site excavations and the surrounding areas were then placed and
compacted in layers until the design elevations were attained. In general, the fill materials consist of
grayish brown silty sand to greenish brown sandy clay.
During the grading operation, compaction procedures were observed and in-place density tests were
performed to evaluate the relative compaction of the fill material. The in-place density tests were
performed in general conformance with ASTM Test Method D-1556-82 (sand cone) or D-2922-81
(nuclear). The results of the in-place dry density and moisture content tests are summarized on
Table I. In general, the in-place density test results indicate that the fill soil has a relative
compaction of at least 90 percent at the locations tested. The approximate locations of the in-place
density tests are shown on the As-graded Geologic Map, Figure 1. It should be noted that since the
grading of the Lots 105 and 106 of Village Q-1 was performed in conjunction with the grading for
Villages N, 0, QI, and Q2, the field density test numbers are not in sequential order.
Where the fill soils being tested for in-place density contained particles larger than 3/4 inch, rock
corrections were made to the laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content using
methods suggested by AASHTO T224-86. The values of maximum dry density and optimum
moisture content presented on Table I reflect the corrections.
Project No. 05845-12-0IC -2 - April 20. 1998
Laboratory tests were performed on samples of material used for fill to evaluate moisture-density
relationships. optimum moisture content and maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557-91), shear
strength and expansion characteristics. The results of the laboratory tests are summarized in
Tables II through V.
Slopes
In general, the fill slopes have planned inclinations of 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter, with
maximum height of approximately 40 feet. No major cut slope exists within the site. The fill slopes
were either over-filled and cut back or were track-walked with a bulldozer during grading. All
slopes should be planted, drained, and maintained to reduce erosion. Slope irrigation should be kept
to a minimum to just support the vegetative cover. Surface drainage should not be allowed to flow
over the top of the slope.
Subdrains
A heel drain associated with the removal of Landslide B is located just south of the site, within
Village 0. This heel drain was."as built" for location and elevation by Rick Engineering Company
and is shown on the attached as-graded geologic map. This subdrairi flows to the south into a canyon
subdrain which ultimately discharges into open space.
Finish Grade Soil Conditions
Based on laboratory test results, the prevailing soil conditions within approximately the upper 3 feet
of rough pad grade have an Expansion Index of 115 to 117 (Table IV), and are classified as having a
"high" expansion potential as defined by the Uniform Building Code (UBC) Table 18-I-B. It should
be noted that although rocks or concretions larger than 12 inches were not intentionally placed
within the upper 3 feet of pad grade, some may exist at random locations.
SOIL AND GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The soil and geologic conditions encountered during grading were found to be similar to those
described in the project geotechnical report. In general, the compacted fill soils are underlain by
formational soils of the Lusardi Formation and the Delmar Formation. Landslide B was removed
within the site and replaced with compacted fill soils.
Project No. 0545-I2-0IC 3 - April 20. 1998
I The enclosed As-Graded Geologic Map (Figure 1 ) depicts the general geologic conditions observed.
No soil or geologic conditions were observed during grading which would preclude the continued
I development of the property as planned.
I CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I
General
1.1. Based on observations and test results, it is the opinion of Geocon Incorporated that the
grading, which is the subject of this report, has bçen performed in substantial conformance
1 with the recommendations of the previously referenced project soil report. Soil and
geologic conditions encountered during grading which differ from those anticipated by the
I project soil report are not uncommon. Where such conditions required a significant
modification to the recommendations of the project soil report, they have been described
I
herein.
2.0 The site is currently sheet-graded and highly expansive soils exist at finished grade. It is
I understood that the site will be fine graded to receive a single story building with
associated driveways and parking areas. It is recommended that, if practical, the building
I pad be capped with at least 3 feet of low expansive soils (El <50).
I 2.0. Future Grading
2.1. Any additional grading performed at the site should be accomplished in conjunction with
I our observation and compaction testing services. All trench backfill in excess of one-foot
thick should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction. This office should be
I notified at least 48 hours prior to commencing additional grading or backfill operations.
1 3.0. Foundations
3.1. The following foundation recommendations are based on the presence of highly expansive
I soils within the upper 3 feet of finished grade. These recommendations may be modified
depending on the soil expansion characteristics present at grade after fine grading
i
operations.
3.2. It is understood that initially one single-story wood-framed structure will be constructed at
I the site as an Information Center. Additional buildings may be constructed later for a Day
Care Center. Foundations for the one- or two-story structures should have a minimum
I width of 12 inches and extend at least 24 inches into dense natural soil or properly
Project No. 05845-12-OIC -4 - April 20. 1999
compacted uI1 soils. Foundations with the above dimensions may be designed for an
allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. The allowable soil bearing pressure may be
increased by 300 psf for each additional foot of width and 500 psf for each additional foot
of depth up to a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 psf. The allowable bearing
capacity may be increased by one-third when considering wind or seismic loads.
3.3. It is recommended that minimum continuous footing reinforcement consist of four No. 4
steel reinforcing bars placed horizontally in the footing, two near the top of the footing and
two near the bottom. The above minimum reinforcement is based on soil characteristics
and is not intended to be in lieu of reinforcement necessary for structural considerations.
3.4. Minimum total and differential settlement is estimated to be 1/2 inch assuming with
differential settlement is measured over a horizontal distance of 50 feet.
3.5. Foundation concrete slabs-on-grade should be a minimum of 5. inches thick and should be
underlain by at least 4 inches of clean sand. Slab reinforcement should consist of No. 3
steel reinforcing bars spaced 18 inches on center, each way. Where moisture-sensitive
floor coverings are planned or where moisture migration through the slab is undesirable,
the slab should be underlain by a visqueen moisture barrier placed in the middle of the
sand blanket.
3.6. The above recommended slab reinforcement and thickness are based on anticipated
subgrade soil characteristics and are not intended to be in lieu of structural considerations.
The need for additional reinforcing or concrete thickness should be determined by the
project structural engineer.
3.7 No special subgrade presaturation is deemed necessary prior to placing concrete, however,
the exposed foundation and slab subgrade soils should be sprinkled, as necessary, to maintain
a moist condition as would be expected in any such concrete placement.
3.8 It is recommended that all exterior concrete flatwork with a least dimension exceeding 8 feet
be reinforced with 6x6- 6/6 welded wire mesh to reduce the potential for cracking. In
addition, all concrete flatwork should be provided with crack control joints at a maximum
spacing of 12 feet.
Project No. 05845-12-01C - 5 - April 20. I904
3.9. Where buildings or other improvements are planned near the top of a slope steeper
than 3:1 (horizontal:vertical), special foundations and/or design considerations are
recommended due to the tendency for lateral soil movement to occur.
For till slopes less than 20 feet high, building footings should be deepened such that
the bottom outside edge of the footing is at least 7 feet horizontally from the face of
the slope.
Where the height of the fill slope exceeds 20 feet, the minimum horizontal distance
should be increased to H13 (where H equals the vertical distance from the top of the
slope to the toe) but need not exceed 40 feet. For composite (fill over cut) slopes, H
equals the vertical distance from the top of the slope to the bottom of the fill portion of
the slope. An acceptable alternative to deepening the footings would be the use of a
post-tensioned slab and foundation system or increased footing and slab reinforce-
ment. Specific design parameters or recommendations for either of these alternatives
can be provided once the building location and fill slope geometry have been
determined.
3.10. Although other improvements which are relatively rigid or brittle, such as concrete
flatwork or masonry walls may experience some distress if located near the top of a slope,
it is generally not economical to mitigate this potential. It may be possible, however, to
incorporate design measures which would permit some lateral soil movement without
causing extensive distress. Geocon Incorporated should be consulted for specific
recommendations.
3.11. As an alternative to the above conventional foundation recommendations, consideration
should be given to the use of post-tensioned concrete slab and foundation system for
support of the proposed structure. The post-tensioned system should be designed by a
structural engineer experienced in post-tensioned slab design and design criteria of the
Post-Tensioning institute (UBC Section 1816). Although this procedure was developed
for expansive soils, it is understood that it can also be used to reduce the potential for
foundation distress due to differential fill settlement. The post-tensioned design should
incorporate the geotechnical parameters presented on the following table entitled Post-
Tensioned Foundation System Design Parameters for the particular Foundation Category
designated.
Project No. 05845-12-0 1C -6 - April 20. INS

3.12. UBC Section 1816 uses interior stiffener beams in its structural design procedures. If the
structural engineer proposes a post-tensioned foundation design method other than UBC
Section 1816, it is recommended that interior stiffener beams be used. The depth of the
perimeter foundation below adjacent finish grade should be at least 24 inches. Geocon
Incorporated should be consulted to provide additional design parameters as required by
the structural engineer.
3.13. The recommendations of this report are intended to reduce the potential for cracking of
slabs due to expansive soils, differential settlement of deep fills or fills of varying
thicknesses. However, even with the incorporation of the recommendations presented
herein, foundations, stucco walls, and slabs-on-grade placed on such conditions may still
exhibit some cracking due to soil movement and/or shrinkage. The occurrence of concrete
shrinkage cracks is independent of the supporting soil characteristics. Their occurrence
may be reduced and/or controlled by limiting the slump of the concrete, proper concrete
placement and curing, and by the placement of crack control joints at periodic intervals, in
particular, where re-entry slab corners occur.
4.0. Retaining Walls And Lateral Loads
4.1. Retaining walls not restrained at the top and having a level backfill surface should be
designed for an active soil pressure equivalent to the pressure exerted by a fluid density of
30 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Where the backfill will be inclined at no steeper than 2.0
to 1 .0, an active soil pressure of 40 pcf is recommended. These soil pressures assume that
Project No. 05845-I2-0IC -7- April i. 1498
the backfill materials within an area bounded by the wall and a 1:1 plane extending
upward from the base of the wall possess an Expansion Index of less than 50. For those
lots with finish grade soils having an Expansion Index greater than 50 and/or where
backfill materials do not conform to the above criteria, Geocon Incorporated should be
consulted for additional recommendations.
4.2. Unrestrained walls are those that are allowed to rotate more than 0.00I1-1 at the top of the
wall. Where walls are restrained from movement at the top, an additional uniform
pressure of 7H psf (where H equals the height of the retaining wall portion of the wall in
feet) should be added to the above active soil pressure
4.3. All retaining walls should be provided with a drainage system adequate to prevent the
buildup of hydrostatic forces and should be waterproofed as required by the project
architect. The use of drainage openings through the base of the wall (weep holes, etc.) is
not recommended where the seepage could be a nuisance or otherwise adversely impact
the property adjacent to the base of the wall. A typical retaining wall drain system is
presented on Figure 2. The above recommendations assume a properly compacted granular
(Expansion Index less than 50) backfill material with no hydrostatic forces or imposed
surcharge load. If conditions different than those described are anticipated, or if specific
drainage details are desired, Geocon Incorporated should be contacted for additional
recommendations.
4.4. In general, wall foundations having a minimum depth and width of 12-inches may be
designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Special foundation depth and
reinforcement may be necessary depending on the expansive characteristics of the
prevailing foundation soils. The proximity of the foundation to the top of a slope steeper
than 3:1 could impact the allowable soil bearing pressure. Therefore, Geocon
Incorporated should be consulted where such a condition is anticipated.
4.5. For resistance to lateral loads, an allowable passive earth pressure equivalent to a fluid
density of 300 pcf is recommended for footings or shear keys poured neat against properly
compacted granular fill soils or undisturbed natural soils. The allowable passive pressure
assumes a horizontal surface extending at least 5 feet or three times the surface generating
the passive pressure, whichever is greater. The upper 12 inches of material not protected
by floor slabs or pavement should not be included in the design for lateral resistance. An
allowable friction coefficient of 0.4 may be used for resistance to sliding between soil and
concrete. This friction coefficient may be combined with the allowable passive earth
pressure when determining resistance to lateral loads.
Project No. 05845-I2-0IC -8- April 0. 1998
4.6. The recommendations presented above are generally applicable to the design of rigid
concrete or masonry retaining walls having a maximum height of 8 feet. In the event that
walls higher than 8 feet or other types of walls are planned, such as crib-type walls,
Geocon Incorporated should be consulted for additional recommendations.
5.0. Slope Maintenance
5.1. Slopes that are steeper than 3:1 (horizontal: vertical) may, under conditions which are both
difficult to prevent and predict, be susceptible to near surface (surficial) slope instability.
The instability is typically limited to the outer three feet of a portion of the slope and
usually does not directly impact the improvements on the pad areas above or below the
slope. The occurrence of surficial instability is more prevalent on fill slopes and is
generally preceded by a period of heavy rainfall, excessive irrigation, or the migration of
subsurface seepage. The disturbance and/or loosening of the surficial soils, as might result
from root growth, soil expansion, or excavation for irrigation lines and slope planting, may
also be a significant contributing factor to surficial instability. It is, therefore,
recommended that, to the maximum extent practical: (a) disturbed/loosened surficial soils
be either removed or properly recompacted, (b) irrigation systems be periodically
inspected and maintained to eliminate leaks and excessive irrigation, and (c) surface drains
on and adjacent to slopes be periodically maintained to preclude ponding or erosion.
Although the incorporation of the above recommendations should reduce the potential for
surficial slope instability, it will not eliminate the possibility, and, therefore, it may be
necessary to rebuild or repair a portion of the project's slopes in the future.
6.0. Drainage
6.1. Adequate drainage provisions are imperative. Under no circumstances should water be
allowed to pond adjacent to footings. The building pads should be properly finish graded
after the buildings and other improvements are in place so that drainage water is directed
away from foundations, pavements, concrete slabs, and slope tops to controlled drainage
devices.
LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations contained herein apply only to our work with respect to
grading, and represent conditions at the date of our final observation November 20, 1997. Any
subsequent grading should be done in conjunction with our observation and testing services. As
used herein, the term "observation" implies only that we observed the progress of the work with
Project No. 05845-I2-0IC -9- April 20. 1998
which we agreed to be involved. Our services did not include the evaluation or identification of the
potential presence of hazardous or corrosive materials. Our conclusions and opinions as to whether
the work essentially complies with the job specifications are based on our observations, experience,
and test results. Subsurface conditions, and the accuracy of tests used to measure such conditions,
can vary greatly at any time. We make no warranty, expressed or implied, except that our services
were performed in accordance with engineering principles generally accepted at this time and
location.
We will accept no responsibility for any subsequent changes made to the site by others, by the
uncontrolled action of water, or by the failure of others to properly repair damages caused by the
uncontrolled action of water. The findings and recommendations of this report may be invalidated
wholly or partially by changes outside our control. Therefore, this report is subject to review and
should not be relied upon after a period of three years.

Corresponds to curve numbers listed, in Table II, representing' the laboratory
maximum dry density/optimum moisture content data for selected fill soil samples
encountered during testing and observation.
- ROCK CORRECTION
For density tests with rock percentage greater than zero, laboratory maximum dry density and optimum
moisture content were adjusted for rock content. For tests with rock content equal to zero, laboratory
maximum dry density and optimum moisture content values listed are then unadjusted values.
- TYPE OF TEST
SC: Sand Cone Test
