ProjectDescription
The purpose of the investigation was to explore the subsurface conditions and to provide
preliminary geotechnical' engineering deign parameters for, evaluation of the site with
*
respect to the proposed development. •.It is proposed to construct an eighty unit
p. ....
condominium development on the subject site Other improvements will comprise of
concrete, asphalt pavement and green belt areas. -'
• ,.
SiteDescription
The subject project is situated within a residential tract south of Chinquapin Avenue
between' Harrison Street and Adams Street; in the City' of Carlsbad. The lot is
approximately ±4.8 acres in area and irregular in shape The site is relatively level with
topography descending gradiially from west to east of a few feet The property contains
slabs and foundations from 'previous structures A single family residence with detached
garage and a trailer is located in the southerly portion along with an avocado orchard.
The open areas of the site are covered with a moderate growth of vegetation and the
,south and,-east property lines contain trees. Small stockpiles of soils and'debris as well
as scattered debris is located throughout the site. A layer of mulch was scattered
throughout the northerly section of the parcel..
•
'
- * •- -. .•-
Field Investigation
The investigation consisted of the placement ofnie (9) borings to, a maximum depth of
15 feet placed at accessible areas throughout the site The explorations were visually
classified and logged by a field engineer with locations of the sibsurface explorations
shown on the attached Site Plan. The exploratory excavations revealed the existing
earth materials to consist of a fill and native soil A detailed description of the
subsurface conditions are listed on theexcavation logs inAppeidix A. These soils are
described as follows

Fill/Disturbed Soils A fill/disturbed soil to a depth of 1 to 3 feet was
encountered consisting predominately of a brown, fine to medium grained,
slightly silty SAND which was noted generally to be loose to rhedium dense and
damp These soils were noted to contain sme small gravel, wood, debris,
vegetationnd root structures. The heaviest debris was encountered in test
. Excavation TE-4 to a depth of 3 feet and contained large roots, palm bushes
concrete and gravel A leach line with ,a clay pipe was encountered in the west
.end of the trench. Approximately one foot of mulch was encourtered in TE-9:

Natural: An undisturbed native materialvas encountered directly beneath the
upper fill soils consisting predominately of a brown to redbrown fine to medium
grained slightly silty SAND which were noted to be dense to very dense and dry
to dafrp to moist 4
The overall engineering characteristics of the earth material were relativel' uniform with
each boring Groundwater was not encountered and no caving occurred to the depths of
our excavations
Laboratory Tests
Relatively undisturbed samps of the subsurface soils were obtained to perform
laboratory testing and analysis for direct shear consolidation tests, and to determine in-
place moisture/densities..-.These'. undisturbed samples consisted of one-inch rings with
inside diameter of-2.5 inches Bulk bag samples were obtained in the upper soils for
expansion index tests, maximum density tests, atterberg limits and sulfate tests All test
results are included in Appendix B, unless noted otherwise
A The field moisture content (ASTM D 2216) and the dry density of the ring
samples wire determined in the laboratory. This data is listed on the log of
excavations
B' Maximum density tests (ASTM D-1 557-00) were performed on typical samples
of the upper soils. Results of these tests are shown on Table I

Seismicity Evaluation * ,
There are no known active ortpotentially activefau1ts trending .toward or throuh the
site The proposed development lies outside of any Alquist Priolo Special Studies Zone
- and thepotential for damage due to direct faultrupture isconsidered very remote. The
site is located in an area of high regional seismicity and a peak horizontal ground
acceleration of 0.47g may occur from a Magnitude 6.9 earthquake along the Newport
'Inglewood fault zone, which Js located approximately 75 kilometers away. Ground
shaking originating from earthquakes along other active faults in the region is expected
t6 induce lower horizontal accelerations due to smaller anticipated earthquakes and/or
greater distance's to other faults. '
. •
The following earthquake design parameters are based upon the 1997 Uniform Building
• ,: Code (UBC) for a Seismic.:Zone 4 with a Zfactorof 0.40 and a Soil Profile Type of SD,
based on 'a stiff soil profile

The upper disturbed/fill soils (upper 1 to 3 feet) shall be rmoved to expose native soils,
the exposed surface shall be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, brought to the proper
moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90% of the laboratory standard prior to,
placement of any additional compacted fill soils, foundations and concrete slabs. This fill
shall extend a minimum of five Iorizontal feet or to the depth of vertical overexcavation,

'Temporary Excavations .
Temporary unsurcharged excavation&in the existing site materials less than 4 feet high
may, be made at a vertical gradient unless cohesionless soils are encountered.
Temporary unsürcharged excavations from 4 t 8 feet high may be trimmed at 'a 1 to I -
(horizontal to vertical) gradient In areas where soils with little or no binder are
encountered, where adverse geological conditions are exposed, or where excavations :
are adjacent to existing structures, shoring, slot-cutting, or flatter excavations may be
equired. The temporary cut slope gradients given do not preclude local raveling and
sloughin.
.
All excavations shall be made in acordance with the requirementsof CAL-OSHA and
other public agencies having jurisdiction Care 6houldbb,taken to provide, or maintain
adequatejateral support for all adjacent improvements and structures at all times during •
the grading operations and construction phase
. .••
Foundation Design •' • - 0
All foundations may be designed utilizing a safe bearing capacity of 2,200 psf for an
embedded depth of 18 inches into approved compacted fill soils or competent native
soils The bearing value may be increased by 500 psf for each additional foot of depth
in excess of the 18 inch minimum depth, up to a maxinium of 3,000: psf. A one third
increase may, be used when considering short term loading rand seismic forces

Lateral Resistance -
The following values may be utilized in resisting lMeral loads imposed on the structure.
Requirements of the currentUniform Building Code should be, adhered to when the
coefficient of friction and passive pressures are combined:
Coefficient of Friction -0.40
Equivalent Passive Fluid Pressure = 250 lb /cu ft
Maximum Passive Pressure .= 2,500 lbs /sq ft
The passive pressure recommendati6ns are valid only, for compacted fill soils, and/or
- comrcetent native soils
Settlement Analysis . • -
Resultant pressure curves for the consolidation tests are shown on Plate B
Computations utilizing these curves- and the recommendd safe, bearing capacities
reveal that the foundations will experience settlements Pon the order of inch and
differential settlements of less than 1/4 inch. -

Slab Recommendations
All concrete s1a6s shall be a minimum of four inches in thickness and placed on
approved subgrade soils A vapor barrier sandwiched between four inches of select
sand shall be utilized beneath floor slabs which would bèénsitive to the infiltration of -
moisture. All concrete slab areas to receive floor coverings should be moisture tested to
riieet all manufacturer requirements prior to placement. - -
Corrosion Design Criteria
Representative samples of the surficial soils typical of the subgrade soils expected to be
encountered within foundation excavations were tested for sulfate concentration
According to the'! 994 Uniform Building Code (UBC) Table 19-A4 - Requirements for
Concrete Exposed to Sulfate-Containing Solutions these contents revealed negligible
• levelof sulfate exposure

Therefore, a Type II cement according to latest UBC specifications may be utilized for
building foundations at this time Additional sulfate tests shall be performed at the
• completion of rough grading to assure that these soils are consistent with the
recommendations stated in this design Sulfate test results may be found on the
attached Table IV. ,.
