1.0 SUBJECT
Verdura and Candura Segmental Retaining Wall Systems.
2.1 General:
The Verdura anld Candura wall systems utilize segmental
concrete blocks For construction of gravity and soil-reinforced retaining walls. C:onstruction of soil-reinforced retaining walls
is achieved by a combination of the block units, geosynthetic reinforcement, and compacted soil. The wall system is as-
sembled in running bond without mortar or grout and, if appli- cable, with horizontal layers of geosynthetic reinforcement in
the backfilled soil mass.
2.2 Materials:
2.2.1 Block Units: The Verdura and Candura concrete blocks are trough-shaped and vary in dimension and weight. A summary of block types, dimensions, and weights is pre- sented in Table 1. Schematics of thevarious blockgeometries
are shown in Figures 1 through 7. Block units and their dimen- sional tolerances must comply with UBC Standard 21-4, with a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 psi (27.6
MPa) on the net area, and a maximum water absorption of 6 percent. Prior to construction, evidence of compliance with this report and UBC Standard 21-4 must be furnished to the
building official For approval.
2.2.2 Geosynthetic Reinforcement: Geosynthetic rein- forcements described below are to be stored at temperatures not lower than -10°F (-23°C); must not be subjected to pro-
longed exposure to sunlight, to prevent UV degradation: and must not be put in contact with mud, wet cement, epoxy or
other adhesive materials.
2.2.2.1 Geogrids: Miragrid, grades 5XT and 1OXT. geogrids manufactured by Mirafi, Inc., are compatible with the Verdura and Candura soil-reinforced retaining wall systems. Miragrid
5XT and 10XT are geogrids consisting of polyester yarns with acrylic latex coating, formed into a grid shape. Applicable de- sign properties are shown in Table 2. Shear stress interaction and connection capacities are addressed in Tables 3 and 4,
respectively.
2.2.2.2 Geosynthetic Fabric: Mirafi HS667, manufactured by Mirafi, Inc., is a woven polyester geosynthetic fabric used specifically in the Posi-Dura connection system described in Section 2.2.3 of this report. Mirafi HS667 geosynthetic fabric
is supplied either with or without a prefabricated sewn sleeve,
2.0 DESCRIPTION
depending on the method of attaching the PVC pipe to the geosynthetic fabric, as described in Section 2.2.3. Applicable design properties are shown in Table 2. Shear stress interac-
tion and connection capacities are shown in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.
2.2.3 Posi-Dura Reinforcement Connection System: The
Posi-Dura is a proprietary supplemental positive connection system used in conjunction with the primary soil reinforce- ment connection between the geogrids described in Section 2.2.2.1 and any Verdura or Candura segmental concrete blocks. The system may be used as the primary soil reinforce-
mentforverdura 30 wall systems having a height of less than 8.0 feet (2438 mm), or Candura 25 and Candura 35 retaining
wall systems having a height of less than 6.0 feet (1829 mm). The Posi-Dura system consists of a Schedule 80 PVC pipe with a minimum I-inch (25 mm) outside diameter and a mini- mum wall thicknessof 0.24 inch (6 mm), and the Mirafi HS667
geosynthetic fabric described in Section 2.2.2.2. The pipe is either inserted into the prefabricated sleeve of a minimum 7-inch-wide (178 mm)stripofgeosyntheticfabric. orthe fabric
strip is looped around the pipe: both components are then in- serted into the inner gusset walls of the concrete blocks, and are embedded with the appropriate infill material. The PVC pipe must be long enough to fit snuggly between the inner width of each block, with a maximum gap of I/zinch (12.7 mm) between the wall and the end of the pipe. If the fabric is looped around the pipe, the overlapped length extending to the back-
fill soil is equal to the required embedment length for the rein- forced soil zone. See Figure 8for details of the Posi-Dura con- nection system.
2.3 Design:
The system is designed as a gravity or soil-reinforced retain- ing wall system, and depends upon its weight and geometry to resist lateral earth pressures and other lateral forces. Later-
al earth pressures must be determined using the Coulomb
theory. The design must include evaluation of both external and internal stability, along with consideration of external
loads generated by surcharges and seismic activity. While ex- ternal stability analyses are to be similar to those required for
conventional gravity retaining walls, internal stability analy- ses of reinforced walls must consider the block-to-block
shear, the allowable reinforcement tension pullout resistance behind the active failure zone, and the reinforcement connec-
tion strength at the facings. Also, the assessment ofthe global stability must be evaluated. The minimum factor of safety is 1.5 for sliding, 2.0 for overturning, and 2.0 for bearing capac-
ity. The required seismic safety factors are 75 percent of the minimum allowable static safety factors.
A foundation investigation in accordance with Section 1804
of the Uniform Building CodeTM (UBC) is required for each site. The investigation determines the soil properties and the

values for design. The design method must be based on ac- cepted engineering principles and judgment. Design details
are noted in the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) Design Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls (Sec- ond Edition, 1997); the FHWA publication entitled “Mechani-
cally Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes De- sign and Consideration Guidelines” (I 997); and Section 8.5 of the 1997 Interim Revisions to the Standard for Highway
Bridges, Sixteenth Edition, 1996 (AASHTO, 1997).
For those situations in which the Verdura and Candura wall
systems use the Posi-Dura reinforcement connection system described in Section 2.2.3 as part ofthe internal soil reinforce-
ment, the design of the wall systems must also comply with Soil Retention Products’ design supplement titled “Design
Guidelines for the Posi-Dura Reinforcement Connection Sys- tem for Use with theverdura and Candura Segmental Retain-
ing Wall Systems,” dated July 13, 1998 (revised March 1,
2.4 Structural Analysis:
Structural calculations must be submitted to the building offi- cial for each wall system design. The structural analysis must be based on accepted engineering principles; the NCMA De-
sign Manual; either FHWA Publication No. FHWA-SA-96-071 or Section 8.5 of the 1997 Interim Revisions to the Standard for Highway Bridges, Sixteenth Edition, 1996 (AASHTO,
1997); and Soil Retention Products’ Supplemental Design
Manual for the Verdura and Candura Segmental Retaining Walls, dated March 1,2000. A summary of the overall design
process is presented in Figure 9. All contact surfaces of the units must be maintained in compression. The compression
stress is limited to a maximum of 100 psi (690 kPa). A net re- sultant tension force is prohibited in any portion of the retain-
ing wall. The service shear resistance between block units is determined using the following equation:
where:
Vu = Service shear resistance, poundslfoot.
W, = Weight of wall above interface, poundslfoot.
2.5 Installation:
For walls more than 3.3 feet (1 .O m) in height, the wall systems
require geosynthetic reinforcement for wall stabilization. The Verdura Segmental Retaining Wall Systems are inclined 70
to 74 degrees from the horizontal. The Candura Segmental Retaining Wall Systems also provide a vertically inclined wall
face. The in-place wall must be constructed so as to be within the tolerances specified by the manufacturer or the NCMA design manual, whichever is more restrictive.
Backfill used in the soil-reinforced mass must consist of ap-
proved materials placed in compacted lifts. Recommenda- tions for the wall drainage system, including drain pipe use
and depth of backfill blanket, are to be provided by the soils engineer of record for the project. Ordinarily, a blanket of co-
hesionless backfill is placed behind the wall. In cases in which the segmental retaining wall units are placed in an open con-
dition and the reinforced soil is cohesionless and free-drain-
ing, the use of a blanket of cohesionless backfill may be omitted upon the recommendation of the soils engineer. If the soils are found to have poor drainage qualities, a perforated
drain-line system must be installed to prevent hydrostatic pressure build-up behind the wall.
After backfilling the bottom course, blocks in subsequent courses are laid with the desired inclination and simulta-
neously backfilled. Maximum spacing between blocks is 9 inches (229 mm). With the maximum spacing of the blocks, the wall system may be placed with tighter concave or convex
horizontal curves, with a minimum radius equal to one-half the wall height. To conform to the inclination curves. and de-

are to be adjusted at the front or the back, but are not to ex- ceed 9 inches (229 mm) between the blocks.
For soil-reinforced retaining wall systems, geogrids are
placed at elevations specified by design. The backfill surface must be laced and compacted to a level flush with or approx-
which placement of the geosynthetic reinforcement is re- quired. The geogrid is fully embedded between coursesof the blocks, and the blocks are filled with appropriate infill material
in accordance with the block manufacturer’s recommenda- tions. After unrolling, the geogrid is hand-pulled until it is taut,
flat, and free of wrinkles, and is anchored to the compacted backfill prior to backfilling over the grid. Adjacent geogrid rolls
are butted side-by-side without overlap, and splices must be avoided. The roll (machine) direction is the direction of the
principal reinforcement. Where the Posi-Dura Connection System is used, installation must be in accordance with Sec-
tion 2.2.3.
2.6 Special Inspection:
Special inspection during installation must be performed in accordance with Section 1701 of the UBC. The inspector’s re- sponsibilities include verifying:
1. Unit dimensions.
2. Unit compliance with UBC Standard 214, including com- pressive strength and water absorption as described in
Section 2.2.1 of this report.
3. Foundation preparation.
4. Unit placement, including alignment and inclination.
5. Geosynthetic reinforcement, and placement with respect to elevation and orientation.
6. Installation of Posi-Dura System components, when used.
7. Backfill placement and compaction.
2.7 Identification:
The manufacturer’s name (Soil Retention Products, Inc.), the
product name and the evaluation report number (ICBO ES ER-5515) are noted on a label affixed to the shipping pallet of
the concrete blocks. Each roll of Mirafi geogrid and Mirafigeo- synthetic fabric reinforcement is labeled with the manufactur-
er’s name and address, and the product designation.

+ Sheet 5-7, Structural Details, Building 2, dated December 3, 2001.
+ Sheet S-9, Structural Details, Building 2, dated December 3, 2001.
In general, these plans are considered to have been prepared in accordance with the
conclusions and recommendations presented in the above referenced geotechnical
report. Comments generated during our review as well as any exceptions to this
conclusion are documented below:
The structural engineer has specified that the floor slab reinforcement consist of
No. 3 bars at 46-inches on-center in both directions. This reinforcement exceeds
. the minimum reinforcement presented in the above referenced geotechnical
report and is considered suitable from a geotechnical standpoint.

1.0 iEXECUTIYE SUMMARY
Presented below is a brief summary of the conclusions and recommendations of this
investigation. Since this summary is not all inclusive, it should be read in complete
context with the entire report.
Ceotechnical Design Considerations
The subsurface profile at the subject site consists of engineered fill soils extending
to depths of 8 to 30-t- feet. These fill soils were placed during recent grading
operations, as monitured by leighton and Associates, and generally consist of
medium dense to dense sands and silty sands. The fill soils are underlain by
medium dense alluvium comprised of silts and sands and/or sandstone of the
Torrey Sandstone. We have reviewed the final as-graded report of rough grading
prepared for this site by Leighton and Associates.
During previous mass grading of the subject site, the previously existing cuf/fill
transitions were mitigated, by overexcavating the cut portions of the site to depths of
at least 8 to IO* feet. All fill soils on the site have reportedly been compacted to at
least 90 percent of the ASTM D-7557 maximum dry density. A large ascending fill
slope is located along the south half of the western property line and near the
eastern end of the south property line. This fill slope was reportedly constructed as
a stability fill, not as a buttress fill. Based on the geologic conditions reported by
Leighton, as well as geotechnical research performed by SCG, no adverse geologic
bedding is present in this area.
The proposed development will include segmental retaining walls along the south
portion of the west property and along some areas of the south property line. A
detailed analysis and design of these walls will be presented in an addendum report.
Subsurface Conditions and Site Preparation
Initial site preparation should consist of removal of the existing vegetation. Based
on canditians observed at the time of the subsurface exploration, stripping will
require removal of the existing grass, weeds and brush. These materials should be
disposed of off-site.
L The existing soils within the proposed building area should be overexcavated to a
depth of at least 2 feet below existing grade, to remove the existing weathered and
softened fill soils.
No significant overexcavation is recommended for the proposed parking areas.
Subgrade preparation in these areas may be limited to scarification to a depth of IO
to 12 inches. moisture conditioning and recornpaction. Once the overexcavation depths have been achieved, the resulting subgrades
. should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer to identify any additional soils that
should be removed to a level of competent subgrade soils. The excavated soils
may be replaced as compacted structural fill.

foundations, building floor slabs, and parking lot pavements along with site preparation
recommendations and construction considerations for the proposed development.
Based on the location of the subject site, this investigation also included a site specific
liquefaction evaluation. The evaluation of environmental aspects of this site was beyond the scope of services for this geotechnical investigation.

3.0 SITE AlJD PROJECT DESCRlPllON
3.1 Site Conditions
The subject site is located on the south and east sides of Calle Barcelona,
approximately 1,000 feet north of Leucadia Boulevard, in Carisbad, California. Calle
Barcelona forms a 90 degree curve at the northwestern corner of the site, and bounds
the subject site on the west and north sides. The site has been identified as Lot 4 of
Carlsbad Tract No. 92-08. The site is bordered to the south by a wildlife undercrossing
and a drainage easement, with an Expo Design Center located further ta the south, Calle Barcelona borders the site to the north and west, and a drainage easement borders the site to the east.
The subject site is approximately 18.3 acres in sire, and is a portion of the La Costa Glen Development in Carlsbad, California. The subject site is generally rectangular in
shape. At the time of the subsurface exploration, the site consisted of a vacant parcel
that appears to have been sheet graded to its present topography. Ground surface cover ccinsists of exposed soil with sparse to moderate native grass, weed and brush
growth. Other than the appearance that the site was previously graded, no evidence of
previous development was observed.
Topographic data for the project was provided by Mayers and Associates, the project
civil engineer. This data indicates that site topography generally consists of gently
sloping terrain, dropping from southwest to northeast. Site grades within the sheet
graded portion of the site range from El. 106+ near the southwestern property corner to
El, 92k at the northeastern corner. Large ascending slopes are located along the south
portion of the east property line and east portion of the south property line. These slopes ,are up to 30k feet in height and possess inclinations of 2 horizontal to I vertical
(2h:lv), A
descending slope is also located within the property boundary along the east portion of
the souith property line. This slope possesses an inclination of 2h:lv+ and a height of 10
to 15+ feet. A descending slope is also located on the easterfy adjacent site, bordering
most of the eastern property line. This slope ranges from 20 to 30k feet in height and possesses an inclination of approximately 2h: 1 v. Other topographic features noted
during the site reconnaissance include a desilting basin located in the northeastern
region of the subject site, descending to El. 84.5, This desilting basin was dry at the
time of the subsurface exploration.
These ascending slopes are located within the property boundary.
It should be noted that the topography illustrated on the provided plan, in the vicinity of
Building 6, including the area of Boring 6-10, does not represent the currently existing
site conditions. Apparently, the topographic survey was performed at a time when a
The Pavilion at La Costa - Carlsbad, CA Project No. OlG218-1
Page 4
large stockpile was present in this area of the site. This stockpile is no longer present,
and site girades in the area of Boring 6-6 are consistent with those of the surrounding
area.
3.2 Proposed Development
Preliminary site plans depicting the proposed development have been provided to our
office by Mayers and Associates. These plans indicate that the proposed development
will conskt of eight (8) new retail buildings. These buildings will range in size from
6,000+ fi2 to 58,523k ft’. These buildings are indicated to be I to 2 stories in height.
One or tvvo of the larger buildings will also include loading dock areas. Although not
specified on the site plan, it is assumed that the proposed structures will not include any
significant bslow grade construction.
Defailed structural information regarding the new buildings has not been provided.
However, it is assumed that most of the larger buildings will be of concrete tilt-up or
masonry block construction. Based on the assumed construction, maximum column
and wall loads are expected to be on the order of 75 kips and 5 kips per linear foot,
respectively. Some of the smaller aut buildings may be of wood frame construction,
and maximum coturnn and wall loads on the order of 30 kips and 2 kips per linear foot are assumed for these buildings. All of the floor slabs are assumed to be subjected to
loads of less than 150 psf.
Preliminary grading information is included on the site plan provided to our office. This
plan indicates that grading for the new devetopment will generatty require maximum
cuts and fills on the order of I to 33- feet. The plan also indicates that new retaining
walls will be located along the south portion of the east property line as well as most of
the south property line. These walls will be up to 25k feet in height. Consideration has
been given to the use of a segmental retaining wall system in these areas. This report presents preliminary information for design of conventional retaining walls, However, a
suppl6mentary report is currently being prepared to address the design of segmental
retaining walls.
The site plan indicates that most of the areas outside of the proposed buildings wilt be
developed with asphaltic concrete pavements. Limited areas of these pavements will be subjected to heavy truck traffic.
3.3 Backaround and Previous Studies
Prior to preparation of this geotechnical report, we obtained a copy of a previous
grading report with coverage of the subject site. This report is identified as follows:
* Final As Graded Report of Rough Gradina Green Valley. CT 92-08 (Proposed La - Costa Glen). Carlsbad, California, prepared by Leighton and Associates for
The Pavilion at La Costa - Cadsbad, CA Project No. 0lG216-1 Page 5
Continuing Life Communities, LLC, dated January 28, 1099, Leighton Project No.
49601 34-002.
This report presents a summary of observations, field and laboratory test results, and
the geotechnical conditions encountered and created during rough grading of the
subject site. This grading generally was performed to achieve sheet graded pads as
well as the widening of a portion of El Carnino Real. Rough grading operations for the
subject site were performed during the period of August 1998 through January 1999.
As stated by Leighton, rough grading operations generally included the removal of
potentially compressible soils and undocumented fill soils to a depth of competent
material, the preparation of areas to receive fill, placement of new fill soils, the
construction of fill slope keys, the excavation of formational material to achieve design
grades, overexcavation of transition lots, and subdrain placement.
Prior to girading, the areas of proposed development were reportedly stripped of surface
vegetatioin and organic debris. Removals of unsuitable and potentially compressible
soil, including undocumented fill, topsoil/colluvium/alluvium, slopewash and weathered
formational material were made to a depth of competent material in all areas proposed
for new structural fill. Removal areas with slopes flatter than 5h:Iv or within I foot of the
encountered water table were scarified to a depth of 12 inches and moisture
conditionled as needed, to obtain a near optimum moisture content, and then
recompacted at least 90 percent of relative compaction. The steeper natural hill sides
were benched to expose competent material prior to fill placement. The geotechnicat
maps included within the Leighton report identified the overexcavation bottom
elevations throughout the proposed development. Removals of the
topsoil/ccrlluv~um/alluvium and weathered formational materials were generally on the
order of 5 to 10 feet in thickness, as recommended in the original Leighton geotechnical report. Any existing undocumented fill was removed to a depth of competent
formatiorral materials andlor competent engineered fill.
Prior to construction of new fill soils, including fill over cut slopes, fill slope keys were
construcfed. The keys were excavated at least 5 feet into competent material along the
toe of slope, at least 15 feet wide, angled a minimum of 2 percent into slope. The
locations of the fill slope keys are indicated on the Leighton geotechnical maps. One of
these fill slope keys was located along the extreme western end of the south property
line as well as along the southern one-half of the western property line. The location of
this fill slope is indicated on Plate 2 included in Appendix A of this report.
New fill soils were placed in 6 to 8 inch thick lifts of loose soil, compacted to at least 90
percent of the ASTM D-I 557 maximum dry density.
Due to the presence of a steep alluviudbedrock transition in many areas of proposed
development, an overexcavation was made where the transition was encountered. This
overexcavation generally consisted of a IO-foot removal and recompaction in order to reduce the effects of differential settlement, due to the differhg engineering
The Pavilion at La Costa - Carlsbad, CA Project No. 01G218-1 Page 0
characteristics of the alluvium versus the bedrock. Such an excavation was performed
in the western region of the subject site, inchding Buildings 1, 4, 5, 6 and 8. As such,
the entire site is generally underlain by at least 8 to IO_+ feet of compacted structural fill,
In their report, Leighton presents a preliminary discussion of the liquefaction potential of
the on-site soils. Leighton indicates that within the western portion of the project,
shallow giroundwater conditions were not encountered. As such, the potential for
seismically induced liquefaction in this area of the site was considered to be very low.
However, the alluvial soils in the eastern portion of the subject site generally were
identified to consist of loose, clean, silty fine to medium grained sands with groundwater
present at depths of 2 to IO feet below the previously existing ground surface. As a
result of their liquefaction analysis, Leighton concludes that no special foundation
design cctnsiderations are warranted, based on the presence of a layer of surficial
compacted fill that wild overly the potentially liquefiable soils. This recommendation is
also mado on the basis that the proposed structures will be relatively lightly loaded.
During the grading operations on the La Costa Glen site, Leighton performed eight (8)
expansiori index tests, in accordance with UBC Standard 18-2. These tests indicated
very low tlo low expansion potentials.

4.0 SUBSURFAGE EXPLORATION
4.1 Scope of Exploration/SarnDlinq Methods
The subsurface exploration conducted for this project consisted of sixteen (16) borings
advanced to depths cf 5 to 50k feet below currently existing site grades. The number
and approximate locations of the boring$ were specified by the client. These borings
were logged during excavation by a member of our staff.
The borings were advanced with hollow-stern augers, by a truck-mounted drilling rig.
Representative bulk and in-situ soil samples were taken during drilling and trenching.
Relatively undisturbed in-situ samples were taken with a split barrel “California Sampler”
containing a series of one inch long, 2.416+ inch diameter brass rings, This sampling
method is described in ASTM Test Method 0-3550. In-situ samples were also taken
using a ll,4& inch inside diameter split spoon sampler, in general accordance with
ASTM D-1586. Both of these samplers are driven into the ground with successive
blows of ii 140-pound weight falling 30 inches. The blow counts obtained during driving
are recorded for further analysis. Bulk samples were collected in plastic bags to retain
their origiinal moisture content. The relatively undisturbed ring samples were placed in
molded plastic sleeves that were then sealed and transported to our laboratory.
The approximate locations of the borings are indicated on the Boring Location Plan,
included as Plate 2 in Appendix A of this report. The Boring Logs, which illustrate the
conditions encountered at the boring locations, as well as the resutts of some of the
laboratory testing, are included in Appendix B.
4.2 Geotechnical Condftions
The soils encountered at and immediately below the existing ground surface at all
sixteen boring locations consist of engineered fill soils. These fill soils extend to depths
of 8 to at least 30+ feet below currently existing site grades. The fill soils generally
consist of medium dense to dense fine sands and fine to medium sands with trace to
some silt,, trace to little clay and occasional fine gravel content. The fine gravel, where
encountered, generally consists of sandstone fragments. The fill soils are somewhat
variable in composition, and some zones of clayey fine sand and fine sandy clay were
encountered at the boring locations. The fill soils also contained occasional silt and clay
clasts, Borings €3-1, B-2, B-7, B-11, B-I4 and B-16 were terminated within the
engineered fill materials at depths ranging from 5 to 30 feet below grade.
Most of th5 borings encountered native alluvial soils beneath the engineered fill soils.
These alluvial materials generally consist of medium dense silty fine to medium sands
The Pavilion at La Costa - Carlsbad, CA
Page 8
Pmjecl NO. 01 ‘321 6-1
with occasional trace clay content. Borings 8-6, 8-8, €3-9, and 8-13 were terminated
within these alluvial soils at depths of 15 to 40+ feet.
The remaining borings were extended into the formational bedrock that underlies the
western portion of this site. This bedrock consists of the Torrey Sandstone. The
sandstone was encountered at Borings 8-3, 8-4, 6-5, 8-10, 8-12, and 6-15. At these
boring locations, the sandstone extends to at least the maximum depth explored of 50i
feet. The Torrey Sandstone generally consists of dense to very dense light brown to
white fine grained sandstone with trace silt. Occasional zones of siltstone and sandy
siltstone were encountered within the Torrey Sandstone materials.
Most of the borings did not encounter any free water during drilling, nor was any water
observed within the open boreholes immediately after the completion of drilling.
However, water was measured at a depth of 2!3.5+ feet within Boring 6-12, 24 hours
after completion of drilling. However, this water may represent seepage, since the
moisture contents of the Torrey Sandstone between depths of 20 and 50+ feet are not
indicative of saturated conditions. No free water was encountered during or after drilling
et any of the other fifteen boring locations.
4.3 Geolloqic Conditions
The general geologic conditions of the subject site were determined by review of available geologic literature. The primary reference applicable to the subject site is the
Geologic Maps of the Northwestern Part of San Diego County, California,
published by the California Division of Mines and Geology, Department of
Conservation, authored by Siang S. Tan and Michael P. Kennedy, dated 1996. The
map indicates that the subject $ita is generally underlain by alluvia! deposits consisting
of unconsolidated silt, clay, sand and gravel. These materials are primarily located
within the Encinitas Creek drainage course. Prior to disturbance as a result of recent
grading, I-eighton indicated that these soils consisted of medium to dark brown, moist to
wet, loosle to medium dense, clayey to silty fine sands and fine sandy clays. The upper
3 to 5 feet of this unit was typically characterized by abundant organic debris, The
Torrey Sandstone underlies the western portion of the subject site. In some areas, the
Torrey Sandstone was encountered beneath the alluvial soils. The Torrey Sandstone is
Tertiary aged, light brown to white, fine grained silty sandstone. Occasional interbeds
of sandy siltstone and clayey sandstone are also present within this unit. Bedding
attitudes within the Torrey Sandstone, as mapped by Tan and Kennedy are relatively
flat lying, ranging from 5 to 10 degrees, generally dipping to the west.
Plate 3, enclosed in Appendix A of this report, presents a portion of the referenced
geologic map.

5.0 LABiDRATORY TESTIMG
The soil samples recovered from the subsurface exploration were returned to our
laboratory for further testing to determine selected physical and engineering properties of the soils. The tests are briefly discussed below. It should be noted that the test
results are specific to the actual samples tested, and variations could be expected at
other locations and depths.
All recovered soil samples were classified using the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS), in accordance with ASTM D-2488. Field identifications were then
supplemented with additional visual classifications and/or by laboratory testing. The
USCS classifications are shown on the Boring Logs and are periodically referenced
throughout this report.
In-situ Density and Moisture Content
The density has been determined for selected relatively undisturbed ring sampfes.
These densities were determined in general accordance with the method presented in
ASTM 0-2937. The results are recorded as dry unit weight in pounds per cubic foot.
The moisture contents are determined in accordance with ASTM D-2216, and are
expressed as a percentage of the dry weight. These test results are presented on the
Boring Logs,
Consolidat&
Selected soil samples have been tested to determine their consolidation potential, in
accordance with ASTM D-2435. The testing apparatus is designed to accept either
natural or remolded samples in a one-inch high ring, approximately 2.416 inches in
diameter. Each sample is then loaded incrementally in a geometric progression and
the resulting deflection is recorded at selected time intervals. Porous stones are in
contact with the tap and bottom of the sample to permit the addition or release of pore
water. The samples are typically inundated with water at an intermediate load to
determine their potential for collapse or heaV8. The results of the consolidation testing
are plotted on Plates C-I through C-I2 in Appendix C of this report.
Soluble Wfates
Representative samples of the near-surface soils were submitted to a subcontracted
analytical laboratory for determination of soluble sulfate content. Soluble sulfates are
naturally present in soils, and if the concentration is high enough, can result in
degradation of concrete which comes into contact with these soils. The results of the

soluble sulfate testing are presented below, and are discussed further in a subsequent
section 01 this report.

Expansion Index
The expansion potential of the on-site soils was determined in general accordance with
Uniform 13uilding Code (UBC} Standard 18-2. The testing apparatus is designed to
accept a 4-inch diameter, 1 -in high, remolded sample. The sample is initially remolded
to 50 * 1 percent saturation and then loaded with a surcharge equivalent to 144 pounds
per square foot. The sample is then inundated with water, and allowed to swell against
the surcharge. The resultant swelf or consolidation is recorded after a 24-hour period.
The results of the El testing are as follows:

Maximum Dn, Density and ODtirnum Moisture Content
Represeritative bulk samples have been tested for their maximum dry density and
optimum moisture content. The results have been obtained using the Modified Proctor
procedure, per ASTM D-1557. These tests are generally used to compare the in-situ densities of undisturbed field samples, and for later compaction testing. Additional
testing of other soil types or soil mixes may be necessary at a later date. The results of
this testing are plotted on Plates C-13 and GI4 in Appendix C of this report.
Direct Shear
A direct shear test was performed on two selected soil samples to determine their shear
strength parameters. The test was performed in accordance with ASTM 0-3080. The
testing alpparatus is designed to accept either natural or remolded samples in a one-
inch high ring, approximately 2.416 inches in diameter. Three samples of the same soil are prepared by remolding them to 9O-t percent compaction and near optimum
moisture. Each of the three samples are then loaded with different normal loads and
the resulting shear strength is determined for that particular normal load. The shearing
of.the samples is performed at a rate slow enough to permit the dissipation of excess
pore water pressure. Porous stones are in cantact with the top and bottom of the
sample to permit the addition or release of pore water. The results of the direct shear
tests are presented on Plate (2-15 and C-16.

Grain Size Analvsis
Limited grain size analyses have been performed on several selected samples, in
accordanm with ASTM D-1140. These samples were washed over B #200 sieve to determine the percentage of fine-grained material in each sample, which is defined as the material which passes the #ZOO sieve. The weight of the portion of the sample
retained on each screen is recorded and the percentage finer or coarser of the total
weight is calculated. The results of these tests are presented on the test boring logs.

6.0 CONICLUSIONS AMD RECUMlVlENDATlONS
Based on the results of our review, field exploration, laboratory testing and geotechnical
analysis, the proposed development is considered feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. The recommendations contained in this report should be taken into the
design, rxmstruction, and grading considerations. The recommendations are
contingent upon all grading and foundation construction activities being monitored by
the geotechnical engineer of record. The Grading Guide Specifications, included as
Appendix D, should be considered part of this report, and should be incorporated into
the project specifications. The contractor andior owner of the development should
bring to tl-ie attention of the geotechnical engineer any conditions that differ from those
stated in this report, or which may be detrimental for the development.
6.1 Seisrnlc Desiqn Considerations
The subject site is located in an area which is subject to strong ground motions due to
earthquakes. Numerous faults capable of producing significant ground motions are
located near the subject site. Due to economic considerations, it is not generally
considered reasonable to design a structure that is not susceptible to earthquake
damage. Therefore, significant damage to structures may be unavoidable during large
earthquakes. The proposed structure should, however, be designed to resist structural collapse and thereby provide reasonable protection from serious injury, catastrophic
property clamage and loss of life.
Faultina a-Seismicity
Research of available maps indicates that the subject site is not located within an
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, the possibility of significant fautt
rupture or) the site is considered to be low.
Seismic Desiqn Parameters
The proposed development must be designed in accordance with the requirements of
the latest edition of the Uniform Buitding Code (UBC). The UBC provides procedures
for earthquake resistant structural design that include considerations for on-site soil
conditions, seismic zoning, occupancy, and the configuration of the structure including
the structural system and height. The seismic design parameters presented below are
based on the seismic zone, soil profile. and the proximity of known faults with respect to
the subject site.
The 1997 UBC Design Parameters have been generated using UBCSEIS, a computer
program published by Thomas F. Blake (January 1998). The table below is a
compilation of the data provided by UBCSEIS, and represents the largest design values
The Pavilion at La Costa - Carlsbad, CA Project NO. 01G216-1 Page 13
presented by each type of fauft. A copy of the output generated from this program is
included in Appendix E of this report. A copy of the Design Response Spectrum, as
generated by UBCSEtS is also included in Appendix E. Based on this output, the
following parameters may be utilized for the subject site:

The design procedures presented by the Uniform Building Code (UBC) are intended to
protect life safety. Structures designed using these minimum design procedures may
experienc:e significant cosmetic damage and serious economic loss. The use of a
significantly higher lateral acceleration (C, factor) such 8s 0.7 ta 0.8 would be
necessary to further reduce the risk of economic loss. However, since these values are
much higher than those specified by the UBC, owners and structural engineers often
regard them as impractical for use in structural design and with respect to the
economicx of the project. Ultimately, the structural engineer and the project owner
must determine what level of risk is acceptable and assign appropriate seismic values
to be used in the design of the proposed structure+
Ground Motion Parameters
As pari of the liquefaction analysis performed for this study, we have generated a site
specific peak ground acceleration, as required by CDMG Special Publication I 17. This
probabilistic analysis was performed using FRISKSP ~4.00, a computer program
published by Thomas F. Blake (2000). FRISKSP estimates probabilistic seismic
hazards using three-dimensional faults as earthquake sources. The program uses a
seismotectonic source model, published by the California Division of Mines and
Geology (CDMG), to estimate seismic hazards at the subject site. The program
originated from the original FRISK program (McGuire, 1978) published by the United
States Geological Survey. FRISKSP generates site specific ground motion data based
on generalized soil conditions (soil or bedrock), site location relative to nearby faults,
accepted attenuation relationships, and other assumptions made by the geotechnical engineer. The attenuation relationships used by FRISKSP include a one standard
deviation measure of uncertainty. Peak accelerations have been determined for both
magnitude weighted and unweighted conditions. A magnitude weighting relationship
accounts for the fact that earthquakes of lower magnitudes are considered to result in fewer cycles of strong ground motion than those of higher magnitudes. The magnitude weighting relationship used in this analysis is described by ldriss { 1998).

Guidelines to determine the appropriate factor of safety against liquefaction have been

The liquefaction analysis procedure is tabulated on the spreadsheet form included in
Appendix F of this report. The liquefaction analysis was performed far Boring €3-1,
which was drilled to a depth of 50i feet. The liquefaction potential of the site was
analyzed utilizing a maximum peak site acceleration of 0.279 for a magnitude 7.5
seismic event. The analysis was performed using groundwater at 30 feet, which is
expected lo be representative the average groundwater elevation at the subject site.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The liquefaction analysis, documented in Appendix F of this report, has not identified any potentially liquefiable zones of soil within the subsurface profile at the two analyzed
boring locations. All of the encountered soils are either above the groundwater table,
consist of engineered fill soils, or possess factors-of-safety in excess of 1.2. Therefore! no design considerations related to liquefaction or liquefaction induced settlements are
considered warranted.
6.2 Geotechnical Design Considerations
General
The subsurface profile at the subject site generaIly consists of engineered fill soil?
extending to depths of 8 to 30+ feet, underlain by medium dense alluvial sands and/(
dense to very dense sandstone bedrock. Previous grading, as monitored by Leighf
and Associates. included overexcavation of the previously existing fill/bedr
transitions. Therefore, each of the proposed building areas is underlain by at least
IO+ feet of recently placed compacted structural fill.
The Pavilion at La Costa -
Project 1
I
The peak ground acceleration at the site was determined using an appropriate attenuation relationship (Campbell, K.W ., 1997) using parameters for a "deep soil" site,
which is considered appropriate for the subject site.
Appendix E of this report contains the peak acceleration results, in graphical form. The
graphical output consists of four plots: a probability of exceedence plot for 25, 50, 75
and 100 year return periods; and an average return period vs, peak acceleration plot,
for both magnitude weighted (M = 7.5) and unweighted analyses. The UBC requires
that the selected return period should have at least a IO percent chance of exceedence
in 50 years, which is equal to a 475-year return period. Based on the plot included in
Appendix E, this would be 0.279 for the subject site, weighted to a magnitude 7.5
earthquake. Appendix E also contains the tabulated results of the FRISKSP analysis,
Liquefaction
Liquefaction is the loss of the strength in generally cohesiontess, saturated soils when
the pore-water pressure induced in the soil by a seismic event becomes equal to or
exceeds the overburden pressure. The primary factors which influence the potential for
liquefaction irtclude groundwater table elevation, soil type and grain size characteristics,
relative density of the sail, initial confining pressure, and intensity and duration of
ground shaking. The depth within which the occurrence of liquefaction may impact
surface improvements is generally identified as the upper 40 feet below the existing
ground surface. Liquefaction potential is greater in saturated, loose, poorly graded fine
sands with a mean (d50) grain size in the range of 0.075 to 02 mrn (Seed and ldriss,
1971). Clayey (cohesive) soils or soils which possess clay particles (dr-O.OO5mm) in
excess of 20 percent (Seed and idriss, 1982) are generally not considered to be
susceptible to liquefaction, nor are those soils which are above the historic static
groundwater table.
The liquefadtion analysis was conducted in accordance with the requirements of
Special Publication 1 17 (COMG, 1997), and currently accepted practice (SCEC, 1997).
The liquefaction potential of the subject site was evaluated using the empirical method
originally developed by Seed, et al. [Seed and Idriss 1971). This method predicts the
earthquake-induced liquefaction potential of the site based on a given design
earthquake magnitude and peak ground acceleration at the subject site, This
procedure essentially compares the cyclic resistance ratio (CFR) [the cyclic stress ratio
required to induce liquefaction for a cohesionless soil stratum at a given depth] with the
earthquake-induced cyclic stress ration (CSR) at that depth from a specified design
earthquake ('defined by a peak ground surface acceleration and an associated
earthquake moment magnitude). The current version of a generally accepted baseline
chart (Youd and Idriss, 1997) is used to determine CRR as a function of the corrected
SPT N-value (N,}~O. The factor of safety against liquefaction is defined as CRWCSR,
The current version of a generally accepted baseline chart (Youd and Idriss, 1997) is
used to determine CRR as a function of the corrected SPT N-value (N,)Go.

6,l Selsrnlc Desiqn Considerations
The subject site is located in an area which is subject to strong ground motions due to
earthquak.es. Numerous faults capable of producing significant ground motions are
located near the subject site, Due to economic considerations, it is not generally
considered reasonable to design a structure that is not susceptible to earthquake
damage. Therefore, significant damage to structures may be unavoidable during large
earthquakes. The proposed structure should, however, be designed to resist structural collapse and thereby provide reasonable protection from serious injury, catastrophic
property damage and loss of life.
Faultim and Seismicity
Research of available maps indicates that the subject site is not located within an
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone, Therefore, the possibility of significant fault
rupture on the site is wnsidered to be low.
Seismic Clesiqn Parameters
The proposed development must be designed in accordance with the requirements of
the latest edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). The UBC provides pmcedures
for earthquake resistant structural design that include considerations for on-site soil
conditions, seismic zoning, occupancy, and the configuration of the structure including
the struc1:ural system and height. The seismic design parameters presented below are
based on the seismic zone, soil profile, and the proximity of known faults with respect to
the subject site.
The 199;’ UBC Design Parameters have been generated using UBCSEIS, a computer
program published by Thomas F. Blake (January 1998). The table below is a
compilation of the data provided by UBCSEIS, and represents the largest design values

presented by each type of fault. A copy of the output generated from this program is

The design procedures presented by the Uniform Building Code (UBC) are intended to
protect life safety. Structures designed using these minimum design procedures may
experience significant cosmetic damage and serious economic loss. The use of a
significantly higher lateral acceleration (C, factor) such as 0.7 to 0.8 would be
necessary to further reduce the risk of economic loss. Howewr, since these values are
much higher than those specified by the UBC, owners and structural engineers often
regard them as impractical for use in structural design and with respect to the
economic:s of the project. Ultimately, the structural engineer and the project owner
must detarrnine what level of risk is acceptable and assign appropriate seismic values
to be used in the design of the proposed structure
Ground Motion Parameters
As part crf the liquefaction analysis performed for this study, we have generated a site
specific peak ground acceleration, as required by CDMG Special Publication 1 17. This probabilistic analysis was performed using FRISKSP v4.00, a computer program
published by Thomas F, Blake (2000). FRISKSP estimates probabilistic seismic
hazards using three-dimensional faults as earthquake sources. The program uses a
seismotectonic source model, published by the California Division of Mines and
Geology (CDMG), to estimate seismic hazards at the subject site. The program
originated from the original FRISK program (McGuire, 1978) published by the United
States Gleological Survey. F RISKSP generates site specific ground motion data based on generalized soil conditions (soil or bedrock), site location relative to nearby faults,
accepted attenuation relationships, and other assumptions made by the geotechnical
engineer. The attenuation relationships used by FRlSKSP include a one standard
deviation measure of uncertainty. Peak accelerations have been determined for both
magnitude weighted and unweighted conditions. A magnitude weighting relationship
accounts for the fact that earthquakes of lower magnitudes are considered to result in
fewer cycles of strong ground motion than those of higher magnitudes. The magnitude
weighting relationship used in this analysis is described by ldriss { 1998).

The existing engineered fill soils are considered suitable for support of the foundations
and floor slabs of the new structures. The suitability of the engineered fill soils is based on data obtained performed from borings performed by Southern California
Geotechnical and our review of the previous grading report prepared by Leighton and
Associates. However, the existing fill soils were placed 2 to 3 years ago. Since the time
of placement, the surficial fill soils have become softened and weathered. Therefore,
limited armounts of remedial grading will be necessary to remove and replace these
near surface weathered fill soils. Significant amounts of remedial grading are not
8XpeCted to be necessary,
Gradinq and Foundation Plan, Review
As discussed previously, detailed grading or foundation plans are not available at this time. Nu,merous assumptions were made in preparing the preliminary wndusicms and
recommendations presented below. Once grading and foundation plans have been
developed, it is recommended that these documents be provided to our office for review
with regard ta the assumptions, conclusions and recommendations presented herein.
Near-Surface Settlements
The near surface soils at this site generally consist of engineered fifl materials,
extending to depths of at least 8 to IC)* feet. With the exception of the near surface zone of weathered and softened fill materials, representative samples of these soils
generally exhibit favorable consolidation characteristics when exposed to moisture
infiltration and when exposed to loads in the range of those that will be exerted by the
foundations of the new structures. Provided that the recommendations presented in
this report are implemented in the design and construction of the proposed
development, the post-construction settlements due to the near surface materials are
expected to be within the structural tolerances of the proposed buildings.
Settlement of Existinq Fill Soils
As discussed above, the proposed development area is underlain by engineered fill
soils, exitending to depths of 8 to 30+ feet. These fill soils were monitored during
placement and have been certified by Leighton and Associates. Based on their
composition, these fill soils will be susceptible to only minor amounts of secondary
(long-term) consolidation. Furthermore, the recently completed grading has removed any sharp transitions between relatively shallow fill soils in the deeper areas of fill,
further reducing the potential for differential seldernents due to secondary consolidation.
Based on these considerations, the long-term secondary settlement of the existing fill soils is not considered to be problematic for the proposed structures.
Expansiye Soils
Expansion index testing performed by Southern California Geotechnical as part of this
study, as well as testing completed by Leighton and Associates during the previous
Eouthet n Callfornla Geotechnlcal -7 The Pavilion at La Costa - Cadsbad, CA Project No. 01G216-1
Page 17
grading, indicates that the on-site soils possess low to very low expansion potentials.
Therefore, no design considerations related to expansive soils are considered
warranted for this project,
Shrinkaaer'Su bsidence
The proposed development area is entirely underlain by existing structural fill soils.
Therefore, no significant shrinkage or subsidence is expected to occur during grading operations. However, due to local variations in compaction, shrinkage andlor bulking of
0 to 3 percent could occur in some areas.
Sulfates
The results of soluble sulfate testing, as discussed in Section 5.0 of this report, indicate
negligible levels of sulfates within the selected soil samples, in accordance with Uniform
Building Code (UBC) and Portland Cement Association (PCA) guidelines. Therefore, specialized concrete mix designs are not expected to be necessary, with regard to
sulfate prcitection purposes. However, the soils present at finished pad grade may vary
from those encountered at the boring locations. It is therefore recommended that
additional soluble sulfate testing be conducted at the completion of rough grading to
verify the soluble sulfate concentrations of the soils that are present at pad grade within
the building areas.
Slope Stability
The site i:3 bordered on portions of the south and west property lines by an ascending
fill slope. Leighton indicates that the as-graded slopes are both grossly and surficially
stable from a geotechnical standpoint. These slopes currently possess inclinations of
2h:Iv, Descending fill slopes are located along the east property line and portions of
the south property line. Leighton has also determined these slopes to be grossly and
surficially stable.
New fill slopes constructed with inclinations of 2h:lv or less are expected to possess
adequate stability from both a gross and surficial standpoint.
The Leighton report identifies the location of a stability fill, constructed along the
southern half of the west property line and the western end of the south property line.
The preliminary site plan indicates that some or all of the stability will be removed as
part of the proposed grading. Leighton indicates that this fil( was constructed as a stability fill, not as a buttress fill. No evidence of adverse geologic conditions are
mapped on the as-graded geotechnical map included within the Leighton compaction
report. The stability fill is therefore serving to provide adequate surficial stability for this
slope, anidlor stability of any alluvium and/or slope wash materials in this area. The proposed segmental retaining wall that is proposed to replace the stability fill will provide a similar stabilizing effect and therefore removal of ths stability fill is not
considered problematic. The geologic structure identified by Leighton, as documented

in the rough grade compaction report indicates that bedding on the site is flat lying to
slightly dipping to the southwest. With regard to the stability fill, this would represent
favorable (into slope) bedding, This bedding is consistent with the geology mapped by
Tan and Kennedy as referenced in Section 4.3 of this report.
6.3 Site Gradlng Recommendations
The grading recornmendations presented below are based on the subsurface
conditions, encountered at the boring locations and our understanding of the proposed
development. We recommend that all grading activitjes be completed in accordance
with the Grading Guide Specifications included as Appendix D of this report, unless
superseded by site-specific recommendations presented below.
Site Strippinn
All surficial vegetation as well as any soils with excessive organic content should be
stripped from the site prior to the start of grading operations. Based on conditions
observed at the time of the subsurface exploration, removal of moderate grass, weed
and shrub growth will be required. No significant topsoil was encountered at the boring
locations. The actual extent of site stripping should be determined in the field, during
grading, b'y the geotechnical engineer.
As part of the initial grading operations, remedial grading should be performed within
the existirig retention/desilting basin, located in the northeastern area of the site. No
standing water was present within the basin at the time of the subsurface exploration,
although evidence of previous standing water as well as some silt deposits were
observed. It is expected that overexcavation to a depth of 2 to 3 feet will be required in
this area to reach of level of suitable subgrade soils. This overexcavation should be
done undw the observation of the geotechnical engineer.
Treatmen,t of Existina Soils: Buildina Areas
The proposed building areas are generally underlain by existing structural fill soils,
extending to depths of 8 to 30L feet. Based on the time that has elapsed between the
original placement of these fill soils and the present, and the results of the
consolidation/collapse testing, some softening and weathering of these materials has
occurred. It is therefore recommended that the existing fill soils be overexcavated to a
depth of at least 2 feet below existing grade, to remove the existing weathered/softened
fill soils. The areas of overexcavation should extend at least IO feet beyond the
building perimeters. If the proposed structures include any exterior cotumns, such as
for a canopy or overhang, the area of overexcavatian should also encompass these
footings.
Following completion of the overexcavatjons, the subgrade soils within the building
areas should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer to verify their suitability to

serve as the structural fill subgrade, as well as to support the foundation loads of the
new structure. This evaluation should include proofrolling with a heavy rubber-tired
vehicle to identify any soft, loose or otherwise unstabte soils that must be removed.
Some localized areas of deeper excavation may be required if loose, porous, or low
density soils are encountered at the bottom of the overexcavation. The overexcavation
subgrade mils should then be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, moisture conditioned to
within 2 percent of optimum moisture content, and recompacted.
Treatment of Existina Soils: Parkina Areas
Subgrade preparation in the remaining new parking areas should initially consist of completion of cuts where required. The geotechnical engineer should then evaluate the
subgrade to identify any areas of additional unsuitable soils. Based on conditions
observed at the site at the time of drilling, additional overexcavation is expected to be
necessary at isolated locations within the new parking areas. The subgrade soils
should then be scarified to a depth of 12s inches, moisture conditioned to within 2
percent of optimum, and recompacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM 0-1557
maximum dry density.
Fill Placerm
Fill soils should be placed in thin (6k inches), near-horizontal lifts, moisture
conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content, and compacted.
On-site soils may be used for fill provided they are cleaned of any debris to
the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer.
All grading and fill placement activities should be completed in accordance
with the requirements of the Uniform Building Code and the grading code of
the City of Carlsbad.
All fill soils should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM D-1557
maximum dry density. Fill soils should be well mixed.
Compaction tests should be performed periodically by the geotechnical
engineer as random verification of compaction and moisture content. These
tests are intended to aid the contractor. Since the tests are taken at discrete
locations and depths, they may not be indicative of the entire fill and therefore should not relieve the contractor of his responsibility to meet the job
specifications.
Imported Structural Fill
A[l imported structural fill should consist of low expansive (El ~30). well graded soils
possessing at least 10 percent fines {that portion of the sample passing the No. 200
sieve). Additional specifications for strucfural fill are presented in the Grading Guide
Specifications. included as Appendix D.

Utility Trench Backfill
In general, all utility trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
ASTM D-I557 maximum dry density. As an alternative, a clean sand (minimum Sand
Equivalent of 30) may be placed within trenches and compacted in place (jetting or
flooding is not recommended). Compacted trench backfill should conform to the
requirements of the local grading code, and more restrictive requirements may be
indicated by the City of Carlsbad. All utility trench backfills should be witnessed by the
geotechnical engineer. The trench backfill soils should be compactiori tested where
possible; probed and visually evaluated elsewhere.
Utility trenches which parallel a footing, and extending betow a 1 h:lv plane projected
from the outside edge of the footing should be backfilled with structural fill soils,
compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM D-1557 standard. Pea gravel backfill
should not be used for these trenches.
6.4 Construction Considerations
Moisture Sensitive Subgrade S.oils
Some of the near surface soils possess appreciable silt content and may become unstable if exposed to significant moisture infiltration or disturbance by construction
traffic. In addition, based on their granular content, some of the on-site soils will also be
susceptible to erosion. The site should, therefore, be graded to prevent ponding of
surface water and to prevent water from running into excavations,
Excavation Considerations
It is expected that some excavations for this project will encounter predominantly granular soils. Such soils will be susceptible to caving. Flattened excavation slopes
may be sufficient to mitigate caving of shallow excavations, although deeper
excavations may require some form of external stabilization such as shoring or bracing.
All excavation activities on this site should be conducted in accordance with Cal-OSHA
regulations.
Special excavation consideratians may be warranted during construction of the
segmental retaining walls along the south and east property lines. These
considerations will be addressed in the subsequent segmental retaining wall design
report.
Groundwater
Groundwater was encountered within only one of the borings, at a depth of 30k feet.
Based on the elevation of Boring 6-12. this would indicate a static groundwater table at

Based on these conditions, groundwater is not expected to impact the
6.5 Foundation Design and Construction
Based on the preceding grading recommendations, it is assumed that the building pads
will be underlain by existing structural fill soils, placed during mass grading of the
subject site, or newly placed structural fill soils used to replace weathered materials or used to raise site grades. Based on this subsurface profile, the proposed structures
may be supported on conventional shallow foundation systems.
Foundation Des icy Fa ra met e rs
New square and rectangular footings may be designed as follows:
Maximum, net allowable soil bearing pressure: 2,500 Ibslft2.
Minimum watllmlumn footing width: 14 inched24 inches.
Minimum longitudinal steel reinforcement within strip footings: Four (4) No. 5
rebars (2 top and 2 bottom),
It is recommended that a grade beam footing be constructed across all
exterior doorways. This footing should be founded at a depth similar to the adjacent building foundations. Any flatwork adjacent to the exterior doors
should be doweled into this grade in a manner determined by the structural
engineer.
Minimum foundation embedment: 12 inches into suitable structural fill soils,
and at least 18 inches below adjacent exterior grade. Interior column footings
may be placed immediately beneath the floor slab.
The allowable bearing pressure presented above may be increased by 1/3 when
considering short duration wind or seismic loads. The minimum steel reinforcement
recommend8d above is based on geotechnical considerations; additional reinforcement may be necessary for structural considerations. The actual design of the foundations
should be determined by the structural engineer.
Foundation Cons tru ct ion
The foundation subgrade soils should be evaluated at the time of overexcavation, as
discussed in Section 6.3 of this report. tt is further recommended that the foundation
subgrade soils be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer immediately prior to steel or
concrete placement. Within the new building areas, soils suitable for direct foundation Support should consist of existing or newly placed structural fill, compacted to at least
Southern Callfotnla Geotechnlcal 7 The Pavilion at La Costa - Carisbad. CA
Page 22 Project No. OlG216-1
90 percent of the ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density. Any unsuitable materials should
be removed to a depth of suitable bearing compacted structural fill or medium dense to dense relative sands, with the resulting excavations backfilled with compacted fill soils.
As an alternative. lean concrete slurry (500 to 1,500 psi) may be used to backfill such
isolated overexcavaticsns.
The foundation subgrade soils should also be properly moisture conditioned to within 2
percent of the Modified Proctor optimum, to a depth of at least 18 inches below bearing
grade. Since it is typically not feasible to increase the moisture content of the floor slab
and foundatiofl subgrade soils once rough grading has been completed, care s;,a-dd be
taken to maintain the moisture content of the building pad subgrade soils throughout
the construction process .
Estimated Foundation.Settlemants
Post-construction total and differential movements (settlement and/or heave) of shallow
foundations designed and constructed in accordance with the previously presented
recommendations are estimated to be less than 1.0 and 0.5 inches, respectively,
Differential movements are expected to occur over a 30-foot span, thereby resulting in
an angular distortion of less than 0.002 inches per inch, which is considered within
tolerable limits for the proposed structures, provided that the structural design
adequately considers this distortion.
Lateral Load Resistance
Lateral load resistance will be developed by a combination of friction acting at the base
of foundations and slabs and the passive earth pressure developed by footings below
grade. The following friction and passive pressure may be used to resist lateral forces:
0 Passive Earth Pressure: 350 Ibs/ft3 * Friction Coefficient: 0.35
The recommended passive earth pressure and friction include an appropriate factor of
safety. A one-third increase in these values may be used for short duration wind or
seismic loads, When combining filctirsn and passive resistance, the passive pressure
component should be reduced by one-third. These values assume that footings will be
poured directly against suitable structural compacted fill. The maximum allowable
passive pressure is 3,000 tbslf?.
6.6 Floor Slab Oesiqn and Construction
Subgrades which will support new floor slabs should be prepared in accordance with
the recommendations contained in the Sife Grading Recommendations section of this
report. Based on the anticipated grading which will occur at this site, the floors of the
new structures may be constructed as conventional slabs-on-grade supported on
The Pavilion at ta Costa - Carlsbad, CA
Page 23 Project NO. 01G216-1
existing or newfy placed structural fill. Based on geotechnical considerations, the floor
slabs may be designed as follows:
Minimum slab thickness: 5 inches
Minimum slab reinforcement: No. 3 bars at 18 inches on-center, in both
directions. The actual flaor slab reinforcement should be determined by the
structural engineer, based on the imposed loading.
Slab undedayment: 2 inches of dean sand overlain by a 10-mil vapor barrier,
overlain by 2 inches of clean sand, Where moisture sensitive floor coverings
are not anticipated, the vapor barrier and upper 2-inch layer of sand may be
eliminated.
Moisture condition the floor slab subgrade soils to within 2 percent of the
Modified Proctor optimum moisture content, to a depth of 18 inches.
Proper concrete curing techniques should be utilized to reduce the potential
for slab curling or the formation of excessive shrinkage cracks.
The actual design of the floor slabs should be completed by the structural engineer to
verify adequate thickness and reinforcement.
6.7 Retaininq Wall Design and Construction
Although not indicated on the conceptual grading and drainage plan provided to our
office, some small retaining walls may be required tu facilitate site grades. The
parameters recommended for use in the design of these walls are presented below.
These values should not be used for design of segmental retaining walls. A site specific
segmental retaining wall design will be presented in a subsequent geotechnical report.
Retaininq Wall Desinn Parameters
Based on the soil conditions encountered at the boring locations, the following parameters may be used in the design of new retaining walls fur this site. We have
provided parameters for two different types of wall backfill: on-site soils comprised of
sands and silty sands as well as imported select granular material, These parameters
are based on site specific direct shear testing.

Regardless of the backfill type, the walls should be designed using a soil-footing

structural engineer should incorporate appropriate factors of safety in the design to the
retaining walls,
Aggregate Base ,
The active earth pressure may be used for the design of retaining walls that do not
directly support structures or support soils that in turn support structures and which will
be allowed to deflect, The at-rest earth pressure should be used for walls that will not
be allowed to deflect such as those which will support foundation bearing soils, or which
will support foundation loads directly.
and Silty Sands
Where the soils on the toe side of the retaining wall are not covered by a "hard" surface such as a structure or pavement, the upper i foot of soil should be neglected when
calculating passive resistance due to the potential for the material to become disturbed
or degraded during the life of the structure.

The retaining walls should be supported within existing or newly placed compacted structural fill. Foundations to support new retaining walls should be designed in

section of this report.
Backfill Material
It is recommended that a minimum 1 foot thick layer of free-draining granular material (less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve) should be placed against the face of
the retaining walls. This material should be approved by the geotechnical engineer. If
the layer of free-draining material is not covered by an impermeable surface, such as a
The Pavilion at La Costa - Carlsbad, CA Pmject NO. 01 G216-1
Page 25
structure or pavement, a 12-inch thick layer of a low permeability soil should be placed
over the backfill to reduce surface water migration to the underlying soils.
AI! retaining wall backfill should be placed and compacted under engineering controlled
conditions in the necessary layer thicknesses to ensure an in-place density between 90
and 93 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor test
(ASTM Di557-91). Care should be taken to avoid over-compaction of the soils behind
the retaining walls, and the use of heavy compaction equipment should be avoided.
Subsurface Dminaae
As previously indicated, the retaining wall design parameters are based upon drained backfill conditions. Consequently, some form of permanent drainage system will be
necessary in conjunction with the appropriate backfill material. Subsurface drainage
may consist of either;
A weep hole drainage system typically consisting of a series of 4-inch
diameter holes in the wall situated slightly above the ground surface elevation
on the exposed side of the wall and at an approximate 8-foot on-center
spacing ,
A 4-inch diameter perforated pipe surrounded by 2 cubic feet of gravel per
linear foot of drain placed behind the wall, above the retaining wail footing.
The gravel layer should be wrapped in a suitable geotextite fabric to reduce
the potential for migration of fines. The footing drain should be extended to
daylight or tied into a storm drainage system.
58 Exterior Flatwork Design and Construction
Subgrades which will support new exterior slabs-on-grade for patios, sidewalks and
entries should be prepared in accordance with the recommendations contained in the
Grading Recommendations section of this report, as recommended for the parking
areas. Based on the anticipated grading which will occur at this site, exterior flatwork
will be supported by a minimum 1 foot thick tayer of compacted structural fill. Based on
geotechnical considerations, exterior slabs on grade may be designed as follows:
0 Minimum slab thickness: 4 inches, 5 inches where subjected to infrequent vehicular
traffic.
Minimum slab reinforcement: Driveway slabs or other flatwork which may be
subjected to vehicular traffic should include conventional welded wire mesh (6x6-
. W1.4xWl.4 WWF) or No. 3 bars at It3 inches on center, in both directions.
Reinforcement in other exterior flatwork is not required, with respect to geotechnical conditions.
The Pavilion at La Costa - Carlsbad, CA Project No. 01 G216-1 Page 26
The flatwork at building entry areas should be structurally connected to the grade
beam that is recommended to span across the daw opening. This
recommendation is designed to reduce the potential for differential movement at this
joint.
Moisture condition the flatwork subgrade soils to a moisture content of 2 to 4
percent above optimum, to a depth of at least 12 inches.
Proper concrete curing techniques should be utilized to reduce the potential for slab
curling or the farmation of excessive shrinkage cracks.
Control joints should be provided at a maximum spacing of 8 feet on center in two
directions for slabs and at 6 feet on center for sidewalks. Control joints are intended
to direct cracking. Minor cracking of exterior concrete slabs on grade should be
expected.
Expansion or felt joints should be used at the interface of exterior slabs on grade and
any fixed structures to permit relative movement.
6.9 Pavement Design Parameters
Site preparation in the pavement area should be completed as previously
recommended in the Site Grading Recommendations section of this report. The
subsequent pavement recommendations assume proper drainage and construction
monitoring, and are based on either PCA or CALTRANS design parameters for a
twenty (20) year design period. However, these designs also assume a routine
pavement maintenance program to obtain the anticipated 20-year pavement service
life.
Pavement Subgrades
It is anticipated that the new pavements will be supported on existing or newly placed
structural fill soils, The existing structural fill soils are expected to consist of sands and
silty sands. These materials are expected to exhibit good pavement support
characteristics, with estimated R-values of 30 to 50. Since R-value testing was beyond
the scope of services for this project, these materials have been assigned an R-value of
30. At the completion of grading, it is recommended that R-value testing be performed
in a representative number of the proposed pavement areas to determine the actual R-
value of the as-graded subgrade, The R-value test results may indicate higher R-values
within the as-graded pavement subgrades, resulting in a thinner pavement section.
Any fill material imported to the site should have support characteristics Eaqual to or
greater than that of the on-site soils and be placed and compacted under engineering
controlled conditions.

APPENDIX D
I GRADING GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS
Grading Guide Specifications Page 1
GRADING GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS
These grading guide specifications are intended to provide typical procedures for grading
operations. They are intended to supplement the recornmendations contained in the
geotechnical investigation report for this project. Should the recommendations in the
geotechnical investigation report conflict with the grading guide specifications, the more site
specific recommendations in the geotechnical investigation report will govern.
General
+ The Earthwork Contractor is responsible for the satisfactory completion of ail earthwork in
accordance wlth the plans and geotechnical reports, and in accordance with city. county, and Uniform Building Codes.
The Geotechnical Engineer is the representative of the Owner/Builder for the purpose of
implementing the report recommendations and guidelines. These duties are not intended to
relieve the Earthwork Contractor of any responsibility to perform in a workrnan-like tnanner,
nor is the GeotechnicaI Engineer to direct the grading equipment or personnel employed by
the Contractor.
The Earthwork Contractor is required to notify the Geatechnical Engineer of the anticipated
work and schedule so that testing and inspections can be provided. If necessary, work may
be stopped and redone if personnel have not been scheduled in advance.
The Earthwork Contractor is required to have suitable and sufficient equipment on the job-
site to process. moisture condition, mix and compact the amount of fill being placed to the
specified compaction. In addition, suitable support equipment should be available to conform with recommendations and guidelines in this report.
Canyon cleanouts, overexcavation areas, processed ground to receive fill, key excavations,
subdrains and benches should be observed by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to placement of any fill. It is the Earthwork Contractor's responsibility to notify the Geotechnical
Engineer of areas that are ready for impection.
Excavation, filling, and subgrade preparation should be performed in a manner and
sequence that will provide dralnage at all times and proper control of erosion. Precipitation,
springs, and seepage water encountered shall be pumped or drained to provide a suitable
working surface. The Geatechnical Engineer must be informed of springs or water seepage
encountered during ~rading or foundation construction for possible revision to the
recommended construction procedures and/or installation of subdrains.
Site PreDaration
The Earthwork Contractor is responsible for all clearing, grubbing, stripping and site
preparation for the project in accordance with the recommendations of the Geotechnical
Engineer.
rn If any materials or areas are encountered by the Earthwork Contractor which are suspected
of having toxic or environmentally sensitive contamination. the Geatechnical Engineer and
Owner/Builder should be notified immediately.
Major vegetation should be stripped and disposed of off-site. This includes trees, brush,
heavy grasses and any rnaterials considered unsuitable by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Grading Guide Specifications Page 2
Underground structures such as basements, cesspools or septic disposal systems, mining
shafts, tunrlels. wells and pipelines should be removed under the inspection of the
Geotechnicel Engineer and recommendatians provided by the Geotechnical Engineer andlor city, county or state agencies. If such structures are known or found, the Geotechnical
Engineer should be notified as soon as possible so that recommendations can be
farmulated.
Any topsoil, slopewash, colluvium, alluvium and rock materials which are considered
unsuitable by the Geotechnical Engineer should be removed prior to fill placement.
Remaining voids created during site clearing caused by removal of trees, foundations
basements, irrigation facilities, etc., should be excavated and filled with compacted fill.
Subsequent to clearing and removals. areas to receive fill should be scarified to a depth of
10 to 12 inches, moisture conditioned and compacted
The moisture condition of the processed ground should be at or slightly above the optimum
moisture content as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. Depending upon field
conditions, this may require air drying or watering together with mixing andlor discing.
Comoabed Fills
Soil materials imported to or excavated on the property may be utilized in the fill, provided each material has been deterrnined to be suitable In the opinion of the Geotechnical
Engineer. Unless otherwise approved by the Geotechnical Engineer. all fill materials shall
be free of deleterious, organic. or frozen matter, shall contain no chemicals that may result in the materlal being classified as “contaminated.” and shall be low to non-expansive with a
maximum expansion index (El) of 50. The top 12 inches of the compacted fill should have a maxlmurn particle size of 3 inches, and all underlying compacted fill material a maximum 6-
inch particle size, except as noted below.
All soils should be evaluated and tested by the Geotechnical Engineer, Materials with high
expansion potential. low strength, poor gradation or containing organic materials may require
removal from the site or selective placement andor mlxing to the satisfaction of the
Geotechnical Engineer.
Rock fragments or rocks greater than 6 lnches should be taken off-site or placed in
accordance with recommendatiotls and in areas designated as sultable by the Geatechnical
Engineer. Acceptable methods typically include windrows. Oversize materials should not be
placed within the range of excavation for foundations, utilities, or pools to facilitate
excavations. Rock placement should be kept away fm slopes (miniinurn distance: 15 feet)
to facilitate compaction near the slope.
0 Fill materials approved by the Geotechnical Engineer should be placed in areas previously
prepared to receive RII and in evenly placed, near horizontal layers at about 6 to 8 inches in
loose thickness, or as otherwise determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Each layer should be moisture conditioned to optlmum moisture content, or slightly sbove, as directed by the Geotechnical Engineer. After proper mixing and/or drying, to evenly
distribute the moisture, the layers should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
maximum dry density in compliance with ASTM D-1557 unless otherwise indicated.
Density and moisture content testing should be performed by the Geotechnical Engineer at
random intervals and locations as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. These tests
are intended 8s an aid to the Earthwork Contractor, so he can evaluate his workmanship,
Grading Guide Specifications Page 3
equipment effectiveness and site conditions. The Earthwork Contractor is responsible for
compaction as required by the Geotechnical Report($) and governmental agencies.
After compacted fills have been tested and approved by the Qeotechnical engineer, the
contractor should moisture condition the soils as necessary to maintain the compacted
moisture content. Compacted fill soils that are allowed to become overly dry or desiccated
may require removal and/or scarification, moisture conditioning and replacement. Soils with
medium to high expansion indices are especially susceptlble to desiccation. Sandy soils
that are allowed to dry can also lose density
Flll areas unused for a period of time may require moisture conditioning, processing and
recompaction prior to the start of additional filling. The Earthwork Contractor snoutd notify
the Geotechnical Engineer of hls Intent so that an evaluation can be made.
Fill placed on ground sloping at a 540-1 inclination (horitontal-to-vertical) or steeper should
be benched into bedrock or other suitable materials, as directed by the Geotechnical
Engineer. Typical details of benching are illustrated on Plates G-2, G-4, and G-5.
Cutlfill transition lots should have the cut portion overexcavated to a depth of at least 3 feet
and rebuilt with fjll (see Plate G-l), as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
All cut lots should be inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer for fracturing and other
bedrock conditions. If necessary, the pads should be overexcavated to a depth of 3 feet and
rebuilt with a uniform, more cohesive soil type to impede moisture penetration.
Cut portions of pad areas above buttresses or stabilizations should be overexcavated to a depth of 3 feet and rebuilt with uniform, more cohesive compacted fill to impede moisture
penetration.
Non-structural fill adjacent to structural fill should typically be placed in unison to provide
lateral support. Backfill along walls must be placed and compacted with care to ensure that
excessive unbalanced lateral pressures do not develop. The type of fill material placed
adjacent to below grade walls must be properly tested and approved by the Geotechnical
Engineer with consideration of the lateral earth pressure used in the design.
Foundations
The foundation influence zone is defined as extending one foot horizontally from the outside edge of a footing, and then proceeding downward at a K horizontat to 1 vertical (0.5:l)
inclination.
Where overexcavation beneath a footing subgrade is necessary, it should be conducted so as to encompass the entire foundation Influence zone, as described above.
Compacted fill adjacent to exterior footings should extend at least 12 Inches above
foundation bearing grade. Compacted fill within the interior of structures should extend to
the floor subgrade elevation.
Fill Slooes
The placement and compaction of fill described above applies to all fill slopes. Slope
compaction should be accomplished by overfilling the slope, adequately compacting the fill
in even layers, including the overfilled zone and cutting the slope back to expose the
compacted core.
Slope cornpaction may also be achleved by backrolling the slope adequately every 2 to 4
vertical feet during the filling process as well as requiring the earth moving and cornpaction
equipment to work close to the top of the slope. Upon completion of slope canstmction, the
Grading Guide Specifications Page 4
slops face should be compacted with a sheepsfoot connected to a sidebvorn and then grid
rolled. This method of slope compaction should only be used if approved by the
Geotechnical Engineer.
0 Sandy soils lacking in adequate cohesion may be unstable for a finished slope condition and
therefore should not be placed within 15 horizontal feet of the slope face.
All fill slopes should be keyed into bedrockor other suitable material. Fill keys should be at least 15 feet wide and inclined at 2 percent into the slope. For slopes higher than 30 feet,
the fill key width should be equal to one-half the height of the slope (see Plate G-5).
All fill keys should be cleared of loose slough material prior to geotechnical inspection and
should be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer and governmental agencies prior to filling.
The cut portion of fill over cut slopes should be made first and inspected by the GeotechnicaI
Engineer for possible stabilization requirements. The fill portion should be adequately keyed
through all surficial soils and into bedrock or suitable material. Soils should be removed
from the transition zone between the cut and fill portions (see Plate G-2).
Cut S loaes -

-- Subldrains
a
All cut slopes should be inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer to determine the need for
stabilization. The Earthwork Contractor shocrld notify the Geotechnical Engineer when slope
cutting is in progress at intervals of 10 vertlcal feet, Feilure to notify may result in a delay In
recommendations.
Cut slopes exposing loose, cohesionless sands should be reported to the Geotechnical
Engineer for possible stabilization recommendations.
All stabilization excavations should be cleared of loose slough material prior to geotechnical
inspection. Stakes should be provided by the Civil Engineer to verify the location and
dimensions of the key. A typical stabilization fill detail is shown on Plate G-5.
Stabilization key excavations should be provided with subdrains. Typical subdrain details
are shown on Plates G-6.
Subdrains may be required in canyons and swales where fill placement is proposed. Typical
subdrain details for canyons are shown an Plate (3-3. Subdrains should be installed after
approva! of removals and before filling, as determined by the Soils Engineer.
Plastic pipe may be used for subdrains provided it is Schedule 40 or SDR 35 or equivalent.
Pipe should be protected against breakage, typically by placement in a squarecut (backhoe)
trench or as recommended by the manufacturer.
Filter material for subdrains should conform to CALTRANS Speclficatian 68-1.025 or as
approved by the Geotechnical Engineer for the specific site conditions. Clean %-inch
crushed rock may be used provided it is wrapped in an acceptable filter doth and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer. Pipe diameters should be 6 inches for runs up to 500 feet
and 8 inches for the downstream continuations of longer runs. Four-Inch diameter pipe may be used in buttress and stabilization fills.

Attention: Mr. Bob Edwards
Subject: Revised Verdura 40 Wall Design
Pavilion at La Costa
1935 Calle Barcelona
Ca ris bad , California
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request, this report has been prepared to present the revised
design and supporting calculations for the proposed Verdura 40 segmental retaining wall
to be constructed at the subject site. The previously prepared design has been revised to
include the use of Mirafi 10XT geogrid reinforcement as an alternative to Mirafi 8XT
geogrid. Based on a review of the grading plan prepared by Mayers and Associates Civil
Engineering, Inc., the proposed Verdura wall will be constructed along the southern
perimeter of the subject site.
The proposed Verdura wall will be constructed along the southern perimeter of the subject
site, adjacent to and below the proposed parking lot and drive areas. This wall has been
designed to facilitate a maximum exposed height of 16.52 feet. The proposed wall has
been designed with a minimum embedment of 1.5 feet, resulting in a maximum overall
height of 182 feet. Based on the grading plans provided for our review, the topography
both above as well as below the proposed wall will be level. In addition, based on the
proposed parking and drive areas above the proposed Verdura wall, this wall has been
analyzed with a live load surcharge of 240 psf.
The proposed wall has been designed with Miragrid IOXT geogrid as the primary
reinforcement. This geogrid has been assigned a long-term design strength of 41 16 Ib./ft.
by the grid manufacturer, TC Mirafi. In addition, this wall has been designed with
supplemental geosynthetic reinforcement utilizing the Posi-Dura connection and Mirafi
HS667 geosynthetic. These designs have been prepared in general accordance with
ICBO Report No. 5515.
Due to the presence of geogrid reinforcement, any proposed improvements behind the
proposed Verdura walls should be limited in depth to 12 inches below the proposed
finished grade at the top of the wall. Any damage to the geogrid reinforcement will require
removal of the segmental wall units in the damaged area and replacement of the
damaged geogrid reinforcement.
Recommended soil strength parameters have been provided by the geotechnical engineer
of record, MTGL, Inc. Based on the recommended soil strength parameters, the proposed
Verdura wall has been designed with an internal angle of friction of 33 degrees, a

cohesion of 200 psf, and a unit weight of 125 pcf, for the reinforced, retained, and
foundation zones. It is recommended that these soils consist of a granular material with a
maximum fines content (those materials passing the No. 200 sieve) of 30 percent by
weight. The actual soil strength parameters should be verified by the geotechnical
engineer of record for the project. In addition, the geotechnical engineer of record has
provided a design seismic acceleration of 0.27g for use in the design and analysis of the
proposed Verdura walls.
This opportunity to be of professional service is sincerely appreciated. Should you have
any questions regarding this information, please contact us at your earliest convenience.

EXTERNAL STABILITY CALCULATIONSSEISMIC ANALYSIS
The seismic design procedure is a pseudo-static analysis based on the Mononobe-Okabe (M-0) method.
The M-0 method represents the additional loads applied to the wall by seismic forces as steeper
backslope inclination and decreased wall batter. This procedure is documented by Seed and Whitman
(1970). The subsequent procedure also generally follows the procedure presented in the draft version of
the NCMA Segmental Wall Seismic Design Procedure. The NCMA seismic procedure is similar to the
static procdure discussed above, but incorporates the seismic forces determined through the use of the
M-0 equation and force distributions that have previously been recommended by the FHWA and AASHTO.
Use the Mononobe-Okabe method to calculate o' and p', the modified wall batter and backslope
inclinations, respectively, using 8, the seismic inertial angle:

Determine Factor of Safety Against Internal Sliding (Seismic Conditions)
The resistance to internal sliding is the sum of the shear resistance available at the geosynthetic surface
plus the shear capacity of the block to block interface. The driving force is the sum of the static active
force at the back of the reinforced zone plus the dynamic force increment at the given reinforcement layer
elevation. The static and dynamic pressures are summed from the grid elevation up to the ground surface.
Pa(H,n) is calculated for each layer using equations 5-1 through 5-1 1, substituting
L',,,) for L' and (H - E(n) + h) for (H + h).
The analysis for internal sliding measures the factor of safety with regard to one section of the wall
sliding with respect to the section below. Therefore, the dynamic force increment for each grid layer
is calculated separately, based on a unique dynamic pressure distribution. The pressure distribution
for each of the grid layers is similar to that used for the external analyses (Le. trapezoidal in shape,
with the net force applied at 0.6 the distance from the grid to the top of the backslope.
APdyn(,,) is calculated using the following equation, and is also based on the depth from the top of the
backslope to the grid elevation (H - E(,,) + h):
Since the dynamic force increment causing an internal sliding failure acts at the back of the reinforced
zone, the external dynamic active earth pressure coefficient increment is used in this calculation.
The sliding resistance for an individual grid layer under seismic conditions is equal to the static resistance

presented for the static case, and the values for these terms are not seismic dependent; therefore, they
