I. INTRODUCTION UPDATE COMPACTION REPORT GRADED PAD 475 PARK DRIVE CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA The project property, reference above, includes a graded pad originally created in late 2005 and early 2006 under observation and testing services provided by this office. The property location is indicated on a Vicinity Map attached as Plate 1. The approximate property coordinates are 33.1476°N latitude and -117.3259°W longitude. The building pad consists of split-level surfaces characterized by a lower basement area in the east portions and upper pad area on the west margin of the basement. The lower basement area is a cut surface situated approximately 10 feet below the upper pad fill surface. Geotechnical engineering observation and compaction testing services for the graded pad was provided by this office periodically between October 7, 2005 through March 31, 2006. Our observations and tests were summarized in a written technical report. The original site geotechnical study prior to its development was also performed by this office. The following pertinent reports and letter pertaining to the property are on file with our firm and were reviewed as a part of this effort: A.

VJNJE & M!DDLETON ENGJNEE!UNG, INC. • 2450 Auto Park Way• Escondido, California 92029-1229 • Phone (760) 743-1214 UPDATE COMPACTION REPORT, GRADED PAD 475 PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 2 The purpose of this effort is to update the referenced As-G raded Compaction Re port and Foundation Recommendations (Attachment 2) and confirm its compatibility with the current applicable codes, and engineering standards. Additional and/or amended recommendations consistent with the requirements of current codes and standards of practice are also provided in the following sections and will supplement or superseded those given in the referenced As-Graded Compaction Report and Foundation Recommendations where specifically indicated . A recent site visit was also conducted by our engineering geologist on March 18, 2019 as a part of the preparation of this update report. Added subsurface explorations and laboratory testing were not necessary, and prior geotechnical data (see references) were determined to be adequate for this update report. II. GRADING AND PAD CONSTRUCTION The current building pads were created by cutting up to 10 feet to achieve basement grades, and the removal and recompaction existing surficial soils for the upper pad. Temporary construction embankments mark the south, west, and north sides of the graded basement area. Earthwork operations including preparation of ground receiving fills , keyway development & construction of graded embankments, fill placement, and compaction procedures were co mpleted in substantial conformance with th e requirements of California Build ing Code (CBC), the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and the grading ordinances for the City of Carlsbad. Grading control engineering observation and testing were performed under the supervision of this office. In our opinion , site excavations, pad development, and graded embankments were constructed in substantial conformance with the project approved grading plans, and are acceptable for their intended use. Ill. SITE CONDITIONS An excerpt from the As-Graded Compaction Report plan is included as Plate 2. Our recent site inspection indicated that the subject site remai ns substantially unchanged from those reported in the referenced Slope Stability letter (Reference A) and As-Grade Compaction Report (Reference 2) with respect to the site graded conditions, compacted fills, final pad elevation , and location and height of temporary construction slopes . V!NJE & MIDDLETON E NG INEERING, INC. • 2450 Auto Park Way • Escondido, California 92029-1229 • Phone (760) 743-1214 UPDATE COMPACTION REPORT, GRADED PAD 475 PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE3 The temporary slopes generally approach 10 feet high maximum at near vertical gradients. The slopes were constructed in substantial conformance with our recommendations presented in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation (Reference E). Basement construction was expected to proceed in a timely manner, consequently, the slopes have been exposed to nearly 13 years of seasonal conditions. This has resulted in slope face erosion and local slumping as shown on pictures taken on March 18, 2019 attached as Plate 3. However, the slopes are considered grossly stable with no evidence of deep- seated instability. Clearing and brushing of the site surface vegetation and remedial grading of upper near surface exposures of disturbed and weathered pad grade soils will be required as specified in following sections. IV. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Final grades are expected to remain at or very near the existing pad elevations, and major grade alterations or significant ground modifications are not anticipated. We understand that the new structure will have a basement floor approximately 10 feet below upper pad grades. Consequently, basement type retaining walls are anticipated to be incorporated into the design. The planned residential construction is expected to consist of a conventional wood-frame building with block basement walls and exterior stucco supported on shallow stiff concrete foundations with stem-walls and slab-on-grade floors, or slab-on-ground with turned-down footings. V. SEISMIC GROUND MOTION VALUES Seismic ground motion values were determined as part of this investigation in accordance with Chapter 16, Section 1613 of the 2016 California Building Code (CBC) and ASCE 7-10 Standard using the web-based SEAOC/OSHPD (Structural Engineers Association of America/California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) ground motion calculator. Generated results including the Mapped (Ss, S1), Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) adjusted for site Class effects (SMs, SM1 ), and Design (Sos, S01) Sp ectral Acceleration Parameters. Also included are Site Coefficients (Fa, Fv) fo r short periods (0.2 second and 1 second), Site Class, Design and Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) Response Spectrums, Mapped Maximum Considered Geometric Mean (MCEG), Peak Ground Acceleration adjusted for Site Class effects (PGAM) and Seismic Design Category based on Risk Category. The severity of the design earthquake ground motion at the site are summarized in the enclosed Attachment 3.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE4 The project site is situated at the western margin of the Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province of southern California. This geomorphic province encompasses an area that extends for approximately 790 miles, from the Transverse Ranges and the Los Angeles Basin to the tip of Baja California, and varies in width from 30 to 100 miles. In general, the Peninsular Ranges consist of rugged mountains underlain by Mesozoic era (67 to 245 million years old) metamorphic and crystalline rocks to the east and a dissected coastal plain underlain by Cenozoic era (up to 67 million years old) sediments. The mountain ranges of this geomorphic province are generally northwest-trending and separated by subparallel fault zones, and are largely composed of granitic and related rocks and smaller amounts of metamorphic rocks . The coastal portions of this geomorphic province in the San Diego region are typically comprised of marine and non-marine sedimentary rocks that have been deposited within a northwest-trending basin known as the San Diego Embayment. The Peninsular Ranges are bounded on the east by the Salton Trough and on the north by the Los Angeles Basin , and extends westward into the Pacific Ocean where its highest peaks are exposed at Catalina, Santa Barbara, San Clemente, and San Nicholas Islands. The Peninsular Ranges are traversed by several major active faults. Right-lateral, strike-slip movement is the major tectonic activity associated with faults in the regional tectonic framework. Earthquakes along these faults have the potential for generating strong seismic ground motions in the region . The seismic event most likely to affect the planned residential development would be a major earthquake on the Rose Canyon Fault. The Rose Canyon Fault is a complex zone of strike-slip, oblique, reverse , and normal faults that extend onshore from La Jolla Cove south to San Diego Bay, and is capable of generating a magnitude-7.2 earthquake. A Geologic Map showing mapped units at, and nearby the project site is included as Plate 4. VII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Existing pads consist of nearly level-graded pad ranging from cut basement surfaces to an upper pad underlain by a minimum of 3 feet of well-compacted fills placed under engineering observation and compaction testing services provided by this office. The site remains substantially unchanged from conditions presented in the referenced As-Graded Compaction report, dated April 25, 2006 (Attachment 1) and Slope Stability letter dated October 10, 2010. Gross instability is not in evidence. Ali conclusions and recommendations provided in the referenced As-Graded Compaction report remain valid and should be incorporated into the final plans and implemented during the construction phase except where specifically amended or superseded below. Additional site-specific conclusions and recommendations consistent with the current codes, standards and engineering practice are also provided below and should be considered wherever appropriate and as applicable: VtNJE & MIDD LETON ENGJNEERJNG, INC. • 2450 Auto Park Way• Escondido, California 92029-1229 • Phone (760) 743-1214 UPDATE COMPACTION REPORT, GRADED PAD 475 PARK DRIVE. CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGES A. Existing Graded Surfaces: The construction of the graded surfaces, including the temporary construction slopes, were completed in substantial conformance with the specifications of project Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation report (dated February 11, 2002), approved grading plan, applicable codes, standards and ordinances, and are suitable for the support of the planned new structure, provided our recommendations, as outlined herein, are followed. B. Bearing and Subgrade Soil Properties: Bearing and subgrade soils on the barn pad predominantly consist of silty clayey sand (SM/SC) soils ranging to very low expansion potential (expansion index less than 20) based on ASTM D-4829 classification. Consequently, expansive soils are not considered a significant geotechnical concern C. Existing Graded Slopes: Project graded and temporary slopes are generally performing well. Temporary slopes evidence variable stages of erosion and local slumping, however, are considered grossly stable. D. Existing Surface Conditions: Surface areas are presently covered by grass and weeds. All the surface vegetation should be cleared and properly disposed of from the site . E. Remedial Pad Grading -Added cut or fill grading efforts or significant_ ground modifications are not anticipated with final design grades expected to be at or very near the existing grades. However, near finish grade soils at the project building pad surfaces, including cut surfaces, have experienced continued seasonal wetting and drying since the completion of original grading nearly 13 years ago. Consequently, minor remedial grading of near surface soils and bearing and subgrade soils will be required in ord~r to recondition the upper bearing and subgrade soils and reconstruct suitable surfaces for the support of planned new structures and improvements. The following are appropriate: 1. All excavations, remova ls or stripping, grading, earthwork, construction, and bearing/subgrade soil preparation should be completed in accordance with Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) and Appendix "J" (Grading) of the 2016 California Building Code (CBC), the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinances, the requirements of the governing agencies and following sections, wherever appropriate and as applicable.

Compacted fills should be stripped (removed) to a minimum depth of 2 feet, or as directed in the field and recompacted, in all areas of planned new building, structures and improvements. Stripping and recompaction should encompass building and improvement envelopes plus a minimum of 5 horizontal feet outside the perimeter, where possible and as approved in the field. Actual striping depths to be established in the field by the project geotechnical consultant or his designated field representative. Locally deeper removals may be required based upon actual exposures, and should be anticipated. Cut surfaces exposed at the basement level have also softened and should be undercut to dense natural sandstone as directed in the field. Basement pad undercuts are expected to vary. Additional recommendations may be forthcoming at the time of the undercutting to ensure that the basement floor is entirely supported on compacted fills. Basement foundation footings may also require additional excavations to ensure that any daylight lines that may run through the footing are eliminated. The basement foundation footings should be entirely supported on compacted fills or dense sandstone. 3. Silty clayey soils generated from the site removals and over-excavations are generally considered suitable for reuse as new site fills provided they are adequately processed and manufactured into a clean uniform mixture as directed and approved in the field. Clayey to silty fill deposits typically require additional processing, mixing and moisture conditioning efforts in order to manufacture a uniform homogeneous mixture suitable for reuse as new compacted fills. Expansive clayey soils, if present, are not suitable for basement wall and trench backfills. 4. Uniform and stable fill support should be constructed underneath the project new building pad and improvement areas by the remedial grading and earthwork operations. For this purpose, site soils should be adequately processed, thoroughly mixed, moisture conditioned to approximately 3% to 5% (or as directed in the field) above the optimum moisture levels, placed in thin (6-inch lifts maximum) uniform horizontal lifts and mechanically compacted to a minimum of 90% of corresponding laboratory maximum dry density per ASTM 0 -1557, unless otherwise specified. 5. Trench backfill materials should co nsist of sandy soils adequately processed, moisture conditioned to near optimum levels and mechanically compacted to a minimum of 90% compaction levels (per ASTM D-1557), unless otherwise specified or directed in the field .

All remedial grading, foundation bearing and subgrade soil preparation and earthwork operations including removals and over-excavations, trenching , the suitability of earth deposits used as compacted fills and backfills, processing, spreading and placement, and compaction procedures should be observed and tested by the project geotechnical consultant and presented in the daily field reports and summarized in a final report. The nature of finished bearing and subgrade soils should be further confirmed in the final report at the completion of the remedial grading work. F. Engineering Observation and Testing: All excavations, remedial grading, new fill placement, foundation bearing and subgrade soil preparation, and earthwork operations should be observed and tested by the project geotechnical consultant and presented in the daily field reports and summarized in a final report. The nature of finished bearing and subgrade soil should be further confirmed in the final report at the completion of the remedial grading work. G. Site Corrosion Assessment: Results of limited laboratory testing performed on selected site soil samples (see corrosion section of Attachment 2) indicated that the project site is non-corrosive. Portland cement Type II and concrete with minimum specified 28 days compressive strength (f'c) of 2,500 psi and maximum water- cement ratio of 0.50 should be considered, unless otherwise specified (also see CBC Table 1808.8.1). H. Temporary Construction Slopes: All temporary construction slopes are generally performing adequately, but will require geotechnical inspections during the construction operations. The project contractor shall also obtain appropriate permits, as needed, and conform to Cal-OSHA and local governing agencies' requirements for trenching/open excavations and safety of the workmen during construction. Appropriate permits fo r offsite grading or excavation encroachments into neighboring private properties and/or public right-of-ways, if any required or necessary, should be obtained as appropriate from respective owners and agencies. I. Foundations, Slab-on-Grade Floors, and Soil Design Parameters: Soil design parameters will remain the same as specified in the referenced As-Graded Compaction Report and Foundation Recommendations (Attachment 2). YINJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC. • 2450 Auto Park Way • Escondido, California 92029-1229 • Phone (760) 743-1214 UPDATE COMPACTION REPORT, GRADED PAD 475 PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGES The proposed building may be supported on shallow stiff concrete grade beam footings and slab-on-grade floor foundations consistent the anticipated underlying bearing and subgrade soil. Final foundation bearing and subgrade soils are expected to consist of either sandstone or a silty clayey sand mixture (SM/SC) with expansion potential ranging from to very low expansive (expansion index less than 20 based on ASTM 0-4829 classification). Added or modified recommendations may also be necessary and should be given at the time of foundation plan review phase. All foundations and floor slab recommendations should be further confirmed and I or revised as necessary at the completion of rough grading based on the actual expansion characteristics of the foundation bearing and subgrade soils. The following recommendations and geotechnical mitigation are appropriate for stiff grade beam footings and slab-on-grade type foundation support: • Perimeter and interior continuous footings should be sized at least 15 inches wide and 18 inches deep for single and two story buildings. Spread pad footings, if any, should be at least 30 inches square and 12 inches deep. Footing depths are measured from the lowest adjacent ground surface, not including the sand/gravel layer beneath floor slabs. Continuous interior and exterior foundations should be reinforced with a minimum of four #4 reinforcing bars. Place two-#4 bars 3 inches above the bottom of the footing and two-#4 bars 3 inches below the top of the footing. Reinforcement details for spread pad footings should be provided by the project architect/structural engineer. • All interior slabs should be a minimum 4 inches in thickness, reinforced with #3 reinforcing bars spaced 18 inches on center each way, placed mi d-height in the slab. Slabs should be underlain by 4 inches of clean sand (SE 30 or greater) which is provided with a well-performing moisture barrier/vapor retardant (minimum 15-mil Stego) placed mid-height in the sa nd. Alternatively, a 4-inch th ick base of compacted ½-inch clean aggregate provided with the vapor ba rrie r (min imum 15-mil Stego) in direct contact with (beneath) the concrete may also be considered provided a concrete mix which can address bleeding, shrinkage and curli ng is used.

Cut as soon as the slab will support the weight of the saw and operate without disturbing the final finish which is normally within 2 hours after final finish at each control joint location or 150 psi to 800 psi. The sawcuts should be minimum 1-inch in depth but should not exceed 1 ¼- inches deep maximum. Anti-ravel skid plates should be used and replaced with each blade to avoid spalling and raveling. Avoid wheeled equipments across cuts for at least 24 hours. • Provide re-entrant corner (270 degrees corners) reinforcement for all interior slabs. Re-entrant corners will depend on slab geometry. The enclosed Plate 5 may be used as a general guideline. • The subgrade and foundation bearing soils should not be allowed to dry prior to pouring the concrete or additional ground preparation and moisture reconditioning will be necessary as directed in the field. The required moisture content of the bearing soils is approximately 2% to 3% over the optimum moisture content to the depth of 18 inches below subgrade. Attempts should be made to maintain as-graded moisture contents in order to preclude the need for additional subgrade and bearing soil moisture reconditioning and preparation work. • Foundation trenches and slab subgrade soils should be inspected and tested fo r proper moisture and specified compaction levels and approved by the project geotechnical consultant prior to the placement of steel reinforcement or concrete pour. J. Asphalt And PCC Pavement Design 1. Asphalt Concrete (AC) Paving: Specific pavement designs can best be provided at the completion of rough grading based on R-value tests of the actual finish subgrade soils; however, the following structural sections may be consid ere d for initial planning phase and cost estimating purposes only (not for construction): • A minim um section of 4 inches of asphalt concrete (AC) on 6 inches Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base (AB) or the minimum structural section required by City of Carlsbad, whichever is more, may be considered for the onsite asphalt paving surfaces outside the private and public right-of-way. Actual designs will depend on final subgrade R-value and design Tl, and the approval of the City of Carlsbad.

CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 10 • In the areas where the longitudinal grades exceed 10%, ½-inch asphalt concrete should be added to the design asphalt concrete thickness for each 2% increase in grade or portion thereof. PCC paving should be considered for longitudinal grades over 15%. • Maximum lift for asphalt concrete shall not exceed 3 inches, unless otherwise approved. The asphalt concrete layer (4-inch total section) may consist of 2.5 inches of a binder/base course (¾-inch aggregate) and 1.5 inches of finish top course (½-inch aggregate) topcoat, placed in accordance with the applicable local and regional codes and standards. • The Class 2 aggregate or recycled base (AB) materials shall meet or exceed the requirements set forth in the current California Standard Specification (Caltrans Section 26-1.02). Aggregate base (AB) materials should be compacted to a minimum 95% of the corresponding maximum dry density (ASTM D-1557). Subgrade soils beneath the asphalt paving surfaces should also be compacted to a minimum 95% of the corresponding maximum dry density within the upper 12 inches. 2. PCC Paving: Residential PCC paving supported on very low expansive subgrade soil should be a minimum 5½ inches in thickness, reinforced with #3 reinforcing bars at 15 inches on center each way, placed at mid-height in the slab. Subgrade soils beneath the PCC paving should be compacted to a minimum 90% of the corresponding maximum dry density. Reinforcing bars should be correctly placed extending through the construction (cold) joints tying the slab panels. In construction practices where the reinforcements are discontinued or cut at the construction joints, slab panels should be tied together with minimum 18-inch long (9 inches on either side of the joint) #3 dowels placed at the same spacing as the slab reinforcement. In order to enhance performance, tying of the slab panels to the adjacent curbs, gutters and improvements, where they occur, with #3 dowels at 15 inches on center maximum may also be considered . Additionally, enhanced performance of PC C pavement can be achieved by providing a minimum 8 inch wide by 8 inch deep thickened edge, reinforced with a minimum of one-#3 continuous bar near the bottom, along the slab perimeter.

CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 11 Provide "tool joint" or "softcut" contraction/control joints spaced 10 feet on center (not to exceed 15 feet maximum) each way. The larger dimension of any panel shall not exceed 125% of the smaller dimension. Tool or cut as soon as the slab will support the weight and can be operated without disturbing the final finish which is normally within 2 hours after final finish at each control joint location or 150 psi to 800 psi. Tool or softcuts should be a minimum of 1-inch in depth but should not exceed 1 ¼-inches deep maximum. In case of softcutjoints, anti-ravel skid plates should be used and replaced with each blade to avoid spalling and ravelings. Avoid wheeled equipments across cuts for at least 24 hours. Joints shall intersect free edges at a 90° angle and shall extend straight for a minimum of 1 ½ feet from the edge. The minimum angle between any two intersecting joints shall be 80°. Align joints of adjacent panels. Also, align joints in attached curbs with joints in slab panels. Provide adequate curing using approved method (curing compound maximum coverage rate= 200 sq. ft./gal.) 3. Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavers (PICP): Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavers (PICP), if considered as a part of the project stormwater quality treatment BMPs, should consist of a self-contained system disallowing saturation of adjacent foundation bearing soil, wall backfill, natural/graded embankments, and site improvement subgrade. In general, PICP pavement should maintain a minimum clear distance of 3 feet from building foundations with finish subgrade sloped away at a minimum 2% into a 12 inch wide collector trench along the low edge that is provided with a 4-inch diameter (Sch . 40 or SOR 35) underdrain pipe surrounded with ¾-inch crushed rocks , as conceptually shown in the enclosed Typical Permeable Paver Detail, Plate 6. In case of nearby fill embankments and wall backfill, a minimum 10 feet clear setback should be considered, unless otherwise approved . The perforated underdrain pipe should discharge collected water into an appropriate storm drainage facility Perimeter cut off walls and cu rb restraints should be provided, and bottom and sides of the system lined with an impervious liner, as shown . PICP pave ment closer than 3 feet to building foundations (or 10 feet from adjacent retaining wa lls or top of slope) may also be allowed, however additional mitigation measures such as construction of a minimum 8 inch wide, 3-sack concrete cutoff wall extending a minimum of 24 inches below bottom of the foundation or adjacent improvements may be required . unless otherwise approved. More specific recommendations should be provided by the project geotechnical consultant at the final plan review phase.

General Paving: Base section and subgrade preparation, per structural section design, will be required for all surfaces subject to traffic including roadways, travelways, drive lanes, driveway approaches and ribbon (cross) gutters. Driveway approaches within the public right-of-way should have 12 inches subgrade compacted to a minimum of 95% compaction levels and provided with a 95% compacted Class 2 base section per the structural section design. Curb and gutters and sidewalks supported on potentially expansive subgrade soils should also be provided with a minimum of 4 inches of Caltrans Class 2 base or 6 inches of Green Book Class 3 D.G. base , unless otherwise approved. Base layer under curb and gutters should be compacted to a minimum 95%, while subgrade soils under curb and gutters, and base and subgrade under sidewalks should be compacted to a minirnurn 90% compaction levels. Appropriate recommendations should be given in the final as-graded compaction report.

CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 13 Base and subgrade soils should be tested for proper moisture and specified compaction levels, and approved by the project geotechnical consultant prior to the placement of the base or asphalt/PCC/PICP finish surface. K. Slope Planting and Drainage: All slopes should be landscaped with types of plants and planting that do not require excessive irrigation. Excess watering of slopes should be avoided. Slopes left unplanted will be subject to erosion. The irrigation system should be installed in accordance with the governing agencies. Water should not be allowed to flow over the slopes in an uncontrolled manner. Until landscaping is fully established, plastic sheeting should be kept accessible to protect the slopes from periods of prolonged and/or heavy rainfall. Berms should be constructed along the top edges of all fill slopes. In no case should water be allowed to pond or occur in a concentrated flow condition or flow over graded slopes. L. Pad Drainage: The owner/developer is responsible to insure that adequate measures are taken to properly finish grade the building pad after the structures and other improvements are in place so that the drainage waters from the improved site and adjacent properties are directed away from proposed structures in accordance with the designed drainage patterns shown on the approved plans. A minimum of 2% gradient should be maintained away from all foundations. Roof gutters and downspouts should be installed with all discharge water from the downspouts directed away from the foundations and slab to a suitable location . Area drains should be installed in the yards to collect surface water. Planter areas adjacent to foundations should be provided with damp/water proofing, using an impermeable liner against the footings, if determined appropriate. A subdrainage system within the planter area may also be necessary in some cases to prevent saturations of the foundation soils. It should be noted that shallow groundwater conditions may still develop in areas where no such conditions existed prior to site development. This can be contributed to by substantial increases of surface water infiltration resulting from landscape irrigation which was not present before the development of the site. It is almost impossible to absolutely prevent the possibility of shallow groundwater on the entire site. Therefore, we recommend that shallow groundwater conditions be remedied if and when they develop. The future property owner should be made aware that altering drainage patterns, landscaping, the addition of patios, planters , and other improvements, as well as over irrigation and variations in seasonal rainfall , all affect subsurface moisture conditions, which in turn affe ct structural performance.

CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE15 VIII. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The minimum steel reinforcement recommended is based on soil characteristics only, and is not intended to be in lieu of reinforcement necessary for structural considerations . 2. The concrete reinforcement recommendations provided herein should not be considered to preclude the development of shrinkage related cracks, etc.; rather, these recommendations are intended to minimize this potential. If shrinkage cracks do develop, as is expected from concrete, reinforcements tend to limit the propagation of these features. These recommendations are believed to be reasonable and in keeping with the local standards of construction practice. Special attention should be given to any "re-entrant" corners (±270 degree corners) and curing practices during and after concrete pour in order to further minimize shrinkage cracks. 3. It should be noted that the characteristics of an as-compacted fill may change due to post-construction which can results from cycles of drying and wetting, water infiltration , environmental factors, etc. These changes can cause detrimental changes in the fill soil properties such as strength capacity, compressibility characteristics, volume change behavior, permeability, etc. 4. The property owner(s) should be aware of the development of cracks in all concrete surfaces such as floor slabs and exterior stucco associated with normal concrete shrinkage during the curing process. The features depend chiefly upon the condition of concrete and weather conditions at the tome of construction and do not reflect detrimental ground movement. Hairline stucco cracks will often develop at windows/door corners , and floor surface cracks up to 1/e-inch wide in 20 lineal feet may develop as a result of normal concrete shrinkage (according to the American Concrete Institute). 5. The amount of shrinkage related cracks that occur in concrete slab-on-grades, flatwork and driveways depend on many factors, the most important of which is the amount of water in the concrete mix. The pu rpose of the slab reinforcement is to keep normal concrete shrinkage cracks closed tightly. The amoun t of concrete shrinkage can be minimized by reducing the amount of water in the mix. To keep shrinkage to a min imum, the following should be considered : • Use the stiffest mix that can be handled and consolidated satisfactorily.

CALIFORNIA MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 16 • Use the la rgest maximum size of aggregate that is practical, for example concrete made with %-inch maximum size aggregate usually requires about 40- pounds (nearly 5 gallons) more water per cubic yard than concrete with 1-inch aggregate. • Cure the concrete as long as practical. 6 . The amount of slab reinforcement provided for conventional slab-on-grade construction considers that good quality concrete materials, proportioning, craftsmanship, and control tests where appropriate and applicable are provided. 7. All retaining walls should be provided with a drain along the backside as generally shown on the Retaining Wall Drain Detail (included as Plate 7). Wall backdrains should be inspected and approved by this office prior to wall backfill operations. Expansive soils should not be used for backfilling of any retaining structure. All retaining walls should also be provided with a 1 :1 wedge of granular, compacted backfill measured from the base of the wall footing to the finished surface. The planting of large trees behind any retaining wall will adversely affect their performance and should be avoided. 8. All underground utility trenches beneath interior and exterior slabs 12-inches or more in depth shall be compacted by mechanical means to a minimum of 90% of the maximum dry density of the soil, unless otherwise specified. Care should be taken not to crush the utilities or pipes during the compaction of the trench backfill. Trench backfill materials and compaction shall also conform to the requirements of governing agencies and authorities, as applicable. Non-expansive, granular backfill soils should be used. Flooding or jetting of the backfill is not allowed. IX.

INTRODUCTION: Pad grading for the above referenced properties was observed by this office in 2005 and 2006. Upon completion, the following compaction reports were issued by this office: 1. "As-Graded Compaction Report and Foundation Recommendations for Proposed Single-Family Residence Located at 475 Park Avenue, City of Carlsbad Drawing #423-8A, Project #CDP 03-12," Job #05-422-F, dated April 25, 2006. 2. "As-Graded Compaction Report and Foundation Recommendations for Proposed Single-Family ResidenceLocatedat4488 Adams Street, City of Carlsbad Drawing#412-2A, Project#CDP03-12," Job #05-423-F, dated April 25, 2006. Prior to site grading, the properties were studied for surface and subsurface conditions by this office which resulted in the following technical report: 1. "Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, Undeveloped Hillside Lots, 4588 Adams Street, Carlsbad, CaliforriJa," Job #02-108-P, dated February 11, 2002. The above referenced compaction reports and preliminary investigation were reviewed and copies are on file with our office. We understand that the subject properties have sat idle and remain substantially unchanged since the issue of the compaction reports. The purpose of this letter is to address the temporary construction slopes at both properties which were constructed nearly 4½ years ago and remain. A site visit was conducted by the undersigned in connection with this effort on October 27, 2010. H. FINDINGS: Temporary construction slopes at both properties arc largely in the iO feet high range, but do locally approach 12 feet high maximum. The slopes generally occur in near vertical conditions within the bottom 4 to 6-feet and Slope Stability Near Vertical Temporary Construction Slopes 475 Park Drive and 4488 Adams Street, Carlsbad Page2 October 28, 2010 range from approximately ¼: l to 1: l (horizontal to vertical) above. The construction slopes are in substantial conformance with our recommendations presented in the preliminary investigation (reference above) and were expected to be temporary slopes with wall and building construction to follow in a timely manner. However, we understand that the temporary construction slopes remain as constructed in 2006. The following was noted: 1. The temporary slopes are largely covered by jute matting. 2. The slopes expose cemented sandstone deposits. 3. Some minor erosion and shallow ruts are present on all temporary slopes. 4 More moderate erosion is present on the west end of the north temporary slope at the northern pad location (475 Park Avenue). The noted erosion is the result from runoff in a brow ditch that drains over the slope and onto the building pad areas. III. CONCLUSIONS: The temporary construction slopes were expected to be only temporary. However, after remaining exposed for more than 4-years the slopes are considered to be performing well. Noted erosion of the slope faces is surficial. No evidence of deep-seated instability within the temporary slopes is indicated. The jute matting should be maintained to impede further erosion of the slope faces, and consideration should be given to addressing the brow ditch that drains onto the north building pad. All the temporary slopes should be re-evaluated prior to building or wall constructions. Additional temporary slope recommendations, if warranted, can be given at that time. If you have any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Reference to our Job #05-422 and 423-F will help to expedite our response to your inquiries.

We have completed engineering observation and testing services in conjunction with the grading operations for the building pad and retaining driveway retaining wall backfills. This report summarizes the results of our tests and observations of the compacted fill. The compacted fill in the subject area was placed periodically from October 7, 2005 through March 31 , 2006. Actual dates are shown on the enclosed compaction test result sheets. I. REFERENCES The following listed grading plan and document was used by this office as part of this project: A. Grading Plan prepared by The Mapsmith. B. "Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation" report, prepared by this office, dated February 11 , 2002, Job #02-108.-P. II. GRADING INFORMATION/GROUND PREPARATION Prior to grading operations, the site within the limits of the grading operations for the construction of a building pad was cleared of vegetation. All questionable loose and compressible soils were also removed from the areas receiving fill. Adequate keys or benches were constructed a minimum of 2- feet into firm, undisturbed natural ground or formational soils prior to fill placement. The building area is a split level "cut" pad with a difference of IO-feet from the upper and lower levels. After "plan" grades were achieved, it was found that the upper level still had soft compressible As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 2 April 25, 2006 soils which were removed and re-compacted. The added depth of 10-feet for the lower portion, removed all loose compressible soils. The perimeter footings for the upper portion (Elevation 79 .0) will be founded in fill, with the westerly portion being tied to the upper portion of the basement or lower level retained/restrained wall. Differential settlement is not expected to be a factor due to the wall separating the upper and lower portions. Site preparation and grading were conducted in substantial conformance with Appendix Chapter 33, latest edition of the California Building Code, the Grading Ordinance for the City of Carlsbad and our above listed preliminary geotechnical report. All inspections and testing were conducted under the observation of this office. In our opinion, all embankments and excavations were constructed in substantial conformance with the provided grading plan, and are acceptable for their intended use. III. FILL PLACEMENT Fill was placed in 6 to 8-inch lifts and compacted by means of heavy construction equipment. Field density tests were performed in accordance with ASTM Method D-1556 sand cone method as the fill was placed. The moisture content for each density sample was also determined. The approximate locations of the field density tests are shown on the attached drawing. The locations of the tests were placed to provide the best possible coverage. Areas of low compaction, as indicated by the field density tests, were brought to the attention of the contractor. These aTeas were reworked by the contractor and retested. The test locations and final test results are summarized on the compaction test result table. Elevations and locations of field density tests were determined by hand level and pacing/tape measure relative to field staking done by others. The results of our field density tests and laboratory testing indicate that the fills at the site were compacted to at least 90% of the con-esponding maximum dry density at the tested locations. If the building pad should undergo any prolonged seasonal wetting and drying periods prior to construction, remedial grading could be required depending on the site soil characteristics. Depths ofremoval and re-compact can best be determined just prior to construction by appropriate inspection and testing. IV. SITE CORROSION ASSESSMENT A site is considered to be corrosive to foundation elements, wall s and drainage structures if one or more of the following conditions exists: * pH is less than 5.5. * Sulfate concentration is greater than or equal to 2000 ppm (0.2% by weight). As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page3 April 25, 2006 * Chloride concentration is greater than or equal to 500 ppm (0.05% by weight). For structural elements, the minimum resistivity of soil ( or water) indicates the relative quantity of soluble salts present in the soil (or water). In general, a minimum resistivity value for soil (or water) less than 1000 ohm-cm indicates the presence of high quantities of soluble salts and a higher propensity for corrosion. V. APPROPRIATE LABORATORY TESTS A. Maximum Dry Density Optimum Moisture Tests: The maximum dry density and optimum moisture contents of the different soil types used as compacted fill were determined in accordance with ASTM Method D-1557. B. Expansion Tests: Expansion tests were conducted per 2001 UBC Standard Procedure 18-2 on representative samples of the on site soils during the preliminary investigative phase of the project in order to determine the expansion potential and to provide appropriate foundation recommendations. As no new soils were encountered during the grading operations, no additional testing was conducted. C. Direct Shear Tests: Direct shear tests were conducted on representative samples of the on site soils during the preliminary investigative phase of the project in order to determine the allowable bearing capacity and to provide retaining wall design parameters. As no new soils were encountered during the grading operations, no additional testing was conducted. D. Corrosion Testing: pH-Resistivity and sulfate testing were determined in accordance with California Test Method 643 and 417 respectively on a representative sample of the finish grade soils in the building pad area in order to determine the corrosiveness of the soil. VI. RECOMMENDATIONS THIS REPORT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A PART OF THE PROJECT FOUNDATION PLANS AND MUST BE PROVIDED TO THE PROJECT ARCHITECT/STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO ENSURE THE FOLLOWING FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THOSE PLANS** The follo wing minimum foundation recommendations for very low expansive (Expansion Index less than 21) bearing soils, classified using the "Unified Soil Classification System" or "USCS" as SM, with minimal indicated fill differentiai depth from our "Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation" report should be adhered to, and incorporated into the foundation plans. Foundation plans and details may be submitted to our office for review, to insure conformance As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 4 April 25, 2006 with our recommendations. Please note(**) items for revised recommendations since the issuance of our referenced preliminary geotechnical report. A. Foundations, Monolithic Pour System Conventional shallow foundations with stem walls and slab-on-grade floors, or slab-on- ground with turned-down footings. 1. Continuous strip stem wall foundations and turned-down footings should be a minimum of 15-inches wide by 18-inches deep one and two story structures respectively. Spread pad footings should be at least 24-inches square and 12-inches deep, for one and two story structures. Minimum depths are measured from the lowest adjacent ground surface, not including the sand under the slab. Exterior continuous foundations or turned-down footings should enclose the entire building perimeter, to include the garage entryway. 2. Continuous interior and exterior stem wall foundations should be reinforced with a minimum of four #4 reinforcing bars. Place two bars 3-inches below the top of the stem, and two bars 3-inches above the bottom of the footing. Turned-down footings should be reinforced with a minimum of two #4 bars top and two #4 bars at the bottom. Reinforcement for spread pad footings should be designed by the project structural engineer. 3. Foundations where the surface of the ground slopes more than 1-unit vertical in 10-units horizontal (10% slope), shall be level or shall be stepped so that both top and bottom of such foundation are level. Individual steps in continuous footings shall not exceed 18- inches in height and the slope of a series of such steps shall not exceed I-unit vertical to 2-units horizontal (50%) unless otherwise specified. The steps shall be detailed on the structural drawings. The local effects due to the discontinuity of the steps shall also be considered in the design of foundations as appropriate and applicable. 4. Open or backfilled trenches parallel with a footing shall not be below a plane having a downward slope of 1 unit vertical to 2 units horizontal (50%) from a line 9-inches above the bottom edge of the footing, and not closer than 18-inches from the face of such footing. 5. Where pipes cross under footings, the footings shall be specially designed. Pipe sleeves shall be provided where pipes cross through footings or footing walls and sleeve clearances shall provide for possible footing settlement, but not less than 1-inch all arow1d the pipe. As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 5 April 25, 2006 ** 6. All interior slabs should be a minimum of 4-inches in thickness reinforced with #3 reinforcing bars spaced 18-inches on center each way, placed midheight in the slab. Use 4-inches of clean sand (SE 30 or greater) beneath all slabs. A well performing moisture/vapor retardant (10-mil or greater) must be placed midheight in the sand. Joints in the moisture/vapor retardant should be overlapped a minimum of 12-inches. 7. Provide re-entrant (±270° corners) reinforcement for all interior slabs as generally shown on the enclosed "Isolation Joints and Re-Entrant Comer Reinforcement" detail. Re- entrant comers will depend on slab geometry and/or interior column locations. 8. Provide "soft-cut" contraction/control joints consisting of sawcuts spaced 10-feet on center maximum each way for all interior slabs. Cut as soon as the slab will support the weight of the saw, and operate without disturbing the final finish, which is normally within 2-hours after final finish at each control joint location, or when the compressive strength reaches 150 to 800 psi. The "soft-cut" must be a minimum of I-inch in depth and must not exceed 1 ¼-inch in depth or the reinforcing may be damaged. Anti-ravel skid plates should be used and replaced with each blade to avoid spalling and raveling. A void wheeled equipment across cuts for at least 24-hours. B. Corrosiveness 1. Laboratory test results indicate that the minimum resistivity is greater than 1000 ohm-cm suggesting the presence oflow quantities of soluble salts. Test results show that the chloride concentration is less than 500 ppm, and the pH is greater than 5. 5. Based on the results of the available corrosion analyses, the project site is considered non-corrosive. The project site is not located within 1000-feet of salt or brackish water. 2. Based upon the result of the sulfate test, the amount of water soluble sulfate (S04) was found to be 0.001 percent by weight which is considered negligible ccording to the California Building Code Table No. 19-A-4. Portland cement Type II may be used. C. Paving and Concrete Improvements Not Within The Public or Private Street Right of Way 1. Exterior flatwork adjacent to buildings must be a minimum of 4-inches in thickness reinforced with 6x6/1 0xl 0 welded wire mesh carefully placed 2-inches beiow the top of As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 6 April 25, 2006 the slab. Provide ''tool joint" or "soft cut" contraction/control joints spaced 10-feet on center (not to exceed 12-feet maximum) each way within 24-hours ofconcrete pour. The construction procedures for sawcuts (if used) are described in Item #A-8 above. 2. Concrete driveways and parking areas should consist of5-inch thick concrete reinforced with #3 reinforcing bars spaced 18-inches on center each way placed 2-inches below the top of the slab. The concrete should be placed over 6-inches subgrade compacted to a minimum of 90% of ASTM 1557-91. Where longitudinal grades exceed 15%, provide a minimum of 8-inch wide by 8-inch deep shear anchors dug perpendicular to the driveway longitudinal profile into the approved subgrade at 25-foot interval maximum. Provide ''tool joint" or "soft cut" contraction/control joints spaced 10-feet on center (not to exceed 12-feet maximum) each way within 24-hours of concrete pour. The construction procedures for sawcuts (if used) are described in Item #A-8 above. ** 3. Asphalt concrete (AC) driveways and parking areas should consist of3-inches AC over 6-inches Caltrans Class 2 aggregate base compacted to a minimum of95% over 6-inches subgrade compacted to a minimum of90% of ASTM 1557-91. Where longitudinal grades exceed 10%, ½-inch asphalt should be added to the design asphalt thickness for each 2% increase in grade or portion thereof. 4. Sub and basegrade soils should not be allowed to dry out or become saturated prior to placement of concrete or asphalt. Subgrade and basegrade soils shall be tested for proper moisture and compaction levels just prior to placement of the improvements. 5. Proper drainage must be maintained at all times so that no water from any source is allowed to infiltrate the sub or base grade soils, or deterioration of the improvements may occur. D. Inspections 1. Ifrequired by the governing agency, this office should be notified to inspect or test the fo llowing prior to foundation concrete pours: a) Inspect the plumbing trenches beneath slabs after the pipes are laid and prior to backfilling. b) Test the plumbing trenches beneath slabs for minimwn compactionrequirements prior to sand and moisture barrier placement. As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 7 April 25, 2006 c) Inspect the bottom of the footing trenches for proper embedment into firm compacted or formational soils, and inspect for proper footing width prior to placement of reinforcing steel. d) Inspect the footing reinforcement size and placement. Inspect the slabs for proper thickness, reinforcing placement and size, inspect the sand thickness and moisture barrier placement and thickness, after the initial footing embedment and width inspection, and prior to concrete pour. E. Soil Design Parameters The following soil design parameters are based upon the soils used in the construction of the building pad: 1. Use a friction angle of 33 degrees. 2. Use a wet density of 129.8 pcf 3. Use a coefficient of friction of 0.39 for concrete on compacted soils. 4. Use an active pressure of 38 pcf equivalent fluid pressure for cantilever, unrestrained walls with level backfill surface. 5. Use a active pressure of 5 8 pcf equivalent fluid pressure for cantilever unrestrained walls with a 2: 1 (horizontal to vertical) backfill. 6. Use an at rest pressure of 59 pcf equivalent fluid pressure for restrained walls. 7. Use a passive resistance of 447 pcf equivalent fluid pressure for level surface condition at the toe. 8. Use an allowable foundation pressure of2,000 psffor minimum 15-inch wide by 18-inch deep footings. 9 Use an allowable lateral bearing pressure of 200 psf per foot for all structures except retaining walls. Notes: 1. Use a minimum safety factor of 1.5 for wall overturning and sliding stability. Because large movements must take place before maximum passive resistance can be developed, As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 8 April 25, 2006 a safety factor of 2.0 may be considered if sensitive structures or improvements are planned near or adjacent to the top of the wall. 2. When combining passive and frictional resistance, the passive component should be reduced by one-third. 3. The allowable soil bearing pressure provided herein was determined for footings having a minimum width of 15-inches and a minimum depth of 18-inches below the lowest adjacent ground surface. This value may be increased 20% for each additional foot of depth, and 20% for each additional foot of width to a maximum of3,500 psf, if needed. The allowable soil bearing pressure provided herein is for dead plus live loads and may be increased by one-third for wind and seismic loading. 4. The lateral bearing earth pressures may be increased by the amount of the designated value for each additional foot of depth to a maximum of 1,500 pounds per square foot. F. General Recommendations 1. The minimum steel reinforcement provided herein is based on soil characteristics only, and is not intended to be in lieu of reinforcement necessary for structural considerations. 2. Recommendations for a swimming pool/spa are not within the scope ofthis report. If a swimming pool/spa and associated structures are to be constructed, this office should be contacted in order to provide site specific recommendations prior to beginning any excavations. 3. All retaining walls should be provided with a drain along the backside as generally shown on the enclosed "Retaining Wall Drain" detail. Specific drainage provisions behind retaining wall structures must be inspected by this office prior to backfilling the wall. All backfill soils must be compacted to a minimum of 90% of the corresponding maximum dry density, ASTM 1557-91. 4. All underground utility trenches beneath interior and exterior slabs 12-inches or more in depth shall be compacted by mechanical means to a minimum of90% of the maximum dry density of the soil, unless otherwise specified. Care should be taken not to crush the utilities or pipes during the compaction of the trench backfill. No flooding or jetting of the backfill is allowed. 5. The planting of large trees behind any retaining wall will adversely affect their performance and should be avoided. As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad G. Seismic Coefficients Page9 April 25, 2006 The following site specific seismic parameters for the above referenced project were determined in accordance with the latest edition of the California Building Code requirements. The following parameters are consistent with the indicated project seismic environment and may be utilized for project design work. Site Soil Seismic Seismic Seismic Response Coefficients Profile Seismic Zone Source Type Zone Factor Type Na Nv Ca Cv Ts To Sc 4 0.4 B 1.0 1.1 0.40 0.60 0.600 0.120 According to Chapter 16, Division IV and V, latest edition of the California Building Code Liquefaction and seismically induced settlements will not be factors in the development of the proposed structures and improvements. H. Setbacks 1. Footings located on or adjacent to the top of slopes should be extended to a sufficient depth to provide a minimum horizontal distance of7-feet or one-third of the slope height, whichever is greater (need not exceed 40-feet maximum) between the bottom edge of the footing and face of slope. Reinforcement for deepened footings should be provided by the project structural engineer and detailed on the approved foundation plans. 2. The outer edge of all slopes experience "down slope creep", which may cause distress to structures. If any structures including buildings, patios, sidewalks, swimming pools, spas etc, are placed within the setback, FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE REQUIRED. The concrete reinforcement recommendations provided herein should not be considered to preclude the development of shrinkage related cracks, etc.; rather, these recommendations are intended to minimize this potential. If shrinkage cracks do develop, as is expected from concrete, reinforcements tend to limit the propagation of these features. These recommendations are believed to be reasonable and in keeping with the local standards of construction practice. Special attention should be given to any "re-entrant" corners (±270 degree comers) and curing practices during and after concrete pour in order to further minimize shrinkage cracks. As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad I. Slopes Page 10 April 25, 2006 1. All slopes should be landscaped with types of plants and planting that do not reqwre excessive irrigation. Excess watering of slopes should be avoided. Slopes left unplanted will be subject to erosion. The irrigation system should be installed in accordance with the governing agencies. 2. Water should not be allowed to flow over the slopes in an uncontrolled manner. Until landscaping is fully established, plastic sheeting should be kept accessible to protect the slopes from periods of prolonged and/or heavy rainfall. Berms should be constructed along the top edges of all fill slopes. In no case should water be allowed to pond or flow over slopes. 3. Brow ditches should be constructed along the top of all cut slopes sufficient to guide runoff away from the building site and adjacent fill slopes prior to the project being completed. J. Drainage 1. The owner/developer is responsible to insure adequate measures are taken to properly finish grade the building pad after the structures and other improvements are in place so that the drainage waters from the improved site and adjacent properties are directed away from proposed structures in accordance with the designed drainage patterns shown on the approved plans. 2. A minimum of 2% gradient should be maintained away from all foundations. Roof gutters and downspouts should be installed on the building, all discharge from downspouts should be led away from the foundations and slab to a suitable location. Installation of area drains in the yards should also be considered. 3. Planter areas adjacent to foundations should be provided with damp/water proofing, using an impermeable liner against the footings, and a subdrainage system within the planter area. 4. It should be noted that shallow groundwater conditions may still develop in areas where no such conditions existed prior to site development. This can be contributed to by substantial increases of surface water infiltration resulting from landscape irrigation which was not present before the development of the site. It is ahnost impossible to absolutely prevent the possibility of shallow groundwater on the entire site. Therefore, we recommend that shallow groundwater conditions be remedied if and when they develop. As-Graded Compaction Report, Residential Development 475 Park Drive, Carlsbad Page 11 April 25, 2006 5. The property owner should be made aware that altering drainage patterns, landscaping, the addition of patios, planters, and other improvements, as well as over irrigation and variations in seasonal rainfall, all affect subsurface moisture conditions, which in turn affect structural performance. VII. GENERAL INFORMATION It should be noted that the characteristics of as-compacted fill may change due to post-construction changes from cycles of drying and wetting, water infiltration, applied loads, environmental changes, etc. These changes can cause detrimental changes in the fill characteristics such as in strength behavior, compressibility behavior, volume change behavior, permeability, etc. Where present, clayey deposits are subjected to continued swelling and shrinkage upon wetting and drying. Maintaining a uniform moisture during the post construction periods is essential in the future performance of the site structures and improvements. The property owner(s) should be aware of the development of cracks in all concrete surfaces such as floor slabs and exterior -stucco associated with nonnal concrete shrinkage during the curing process. The features depend chiefly upon the condition of concrete and weather conditions at the tome of construction and do not reflect detrimental ground movement. Hairline stucco cracks will often develop at windows/door comers, and floor surface cracks up to 1/a-inch wide in 20 lineal feet may develop as a result of normal concrete shrinkage ( according to the American Concrete Institute). The amount of shrinkage related cracks that occur in concrete slab-on-grades, flatwork and driveways depend on many factors, the most important of which is the amount of water in the concrete mix. The purpose of the slab reinforcement is to keep normal concrete shrinkage cracks closed tightly. The amount of concrete shrinkage can be minimized by reducing the amount of water in the mix. To keep shrinkage to a minimum, the following should be considered: A. Use the stiffest mix that can be handled and consolidated satisfactorily. B. Use the largest maximum size of aggregate that is practical, for example concrete made with 3/a-inch maximum size aggregate usually requires about 40-pounds (nearly 5 gallons) more water per cubic yard than concrete with I-inch aggregate. C. Cure the concrete as long as practical. The amount of slab reinforcement provided for conventional slab-on-grade construction considers that good quality concrete materials, proportioning, craftsmanship, and control tests where appropriate and applicable are provided.
