PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
I. INTRODUCTION
The subject property investigated herein consists of a vacant corner lot located southwest
of the intersection of Hillside Drive and Park Drive within the City of Carlsbad. The site
location is shown on a Vicinity Map attached as Plate 1.The approximate site coordinates
are 33. 0 N latitude and 117. 0 W longitude.
We understand that the property is planned for the support of a single-family residential
development and associated improvements. Consequently, this investigation was initiated
to determine geotechnical conditions at the site and to ascertain their influence upon the
proposed development. Testing pit digging, soil/rock sampling, and laboratory testing were
among the activities conducted in conjunction with this effort which has resulted in the
grading and foundation recommendations presented in the following sections.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION
A Geotechnical Map, reproduced from the available Precise Grading Plan, showing existing
topographic conditions and the proposed development is attached as Plate 2.The generally
rectangular-shaped lot is characterized by largely natural terrain that descends gently in
a southeasterly direction. Minor fill slopes (2:1 gradients) that ascend to Hillside Drive and
Park Drive mark the north and east property margins respectively.
Surface areas range from recently brushed to ice plant and weeds. A large protected
Torrey Pine is in the southeast site corner and a large eucalyptus (to be removed) is in the
northeast corner.
Site drainage flows in a southeasterly direction to offsite areas. Offsite drainage from
Hillside Drive is currently directed into the property from a concrete spillway constructed
on the southerly curb line. Site drainage will be improved to disallow offsite runoff from
entering the property. Excessive scouring or erosion is not in evidence.
Ill. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
As shown on Plate 2,much of the property will be utilized for the support of a large
residential dwelling. A small additional dwelling unit (ADU) is planned in the southwesterly
corner of the property. Improvements will include an access driveway from Hillside Drive,
a pool and on-grade flatwork.

Site grading will consist of remedial grading of on site soils and importing fill soil to construct
a building pad at approximate street elevations. Significant graded embankments are not
planned. Vertical fills will generally approach 1 O feet maximum and cuts are currently not
proposed.
Building foundation plans and details are not yet developed. However, future building
construction is expected to consist of a conventional wood-framed structure with exterior
stucco supported on shallow stiff continuous strip and spread pad footings, and slab-on-
grade floor foundations.
IV. SITE INVESTIGATION
Geotechnical and subsurface conditions at the property were chiefly determined by the
excavation of 5 test pits dug with a track-mounted John Deere excavator. All the test pit
excavations were logged by our project geologist who also directed sampling of
representative soil and rock for laboratory testing.
Test pit locations are indicated on the Geotechnical Map, Plate 2. Logs of the test pits are
included as Plates 3-7. Laboratory test results of selected samples are provided in a
following section.
V. GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
The study property consists of largely natural, gentle terrain underlain at shallow depths
by sandstone deposits. The Geologic Map of the San Diego 30' x 60' Quadrangle,
California (Michael P. Kennedy and Siang S. Tan, 2008) indicates the site is underlain by
the Eocene age Santiago Formation as shown on Plate 8. However, site specifically, the
property is underlain by Pleistocene age Old Paralic Deposits typical of Carlsbad coastal
areas. The Santiago Formation is expected to occur at depth beneath the Old Paralic
Deposits.
Geologic Cross-Sections depicting subsurface conditions and the proposed development
are included as Plate 9. The following earth materials are recognized:
A. Earth Materials
Old Paralic Deposits (Qop2-4): The project property is underlain at shallow
depths by Old Paralic Deposits dominated by fine-grained sandstone. Site
sandstone deposits were typically found in massive, weathered friable, and medium
dense conditions in upper exposures becoming moderately cemented and uniformly
dense at depth. Clay-bearing sandstone deposits were locally encountered, and are
expected to be in minor quantities overall.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE3
Project dense Old Paralic Deposits are considered stable and competent deposits
that will provide adequate support for new fills, structures, and improvements.
Topsoil: Site Old Paralic Deposits are mantled by a relatively thin layer of topsoil.
The topsoil typically consists of silty fine sand that was found in very dry to damp,
loose, and root-laden conditions overall.
Site surficial soils and weathered loose Old Paralic Deposits are not suitable for
structural support in their present condition and should be removed and reworked
as recommended in following sections.
B. Groundwater and Surface Drainage
Subsurface water was not encountered in our test pits to the depths explored and
is not expected to impact the future performance of the graded building pad.
Drainage will be improved to disallow runoff from street areas onto the site.
Like all graded building sites, the proper control of site surface drainage and efficient
irrigation techniques are critical components to overall stability of the project graded
surfaces and embankments, as well as continued performance of the new
developed sites. Surface water should not pond upon graded surfaces, and irrigation
water should not be excessive. All graded embankments should be provided with
brow ditches.
C. Slope Stability
Large slopes are not present, nor are any planned. Existing perimeter fill slopes will
be filled against to create a level building pad at near street level. Consequently,
slope stability will not be a significant geotechnical concern in the site development.
D. Regional Geology
The subject property is located in the Costal Plains subdivision of the Peninsular
Ranges geomorphic province of San Diego. The coastal plain area is characterized
by Pleistocene marine terrace landforms. These surfaces are relatively flat erosional
platforms that were shaped by wave action along former coastlines. The step-like
elevation of the marine terraces was caused by changes in sea level throughout the
Pleistocene by seismic activity along the Rose Canyon Fault Zone located west of
the coastline. The Rose Canyon Fault Zone is one of many northwest trending, sub-
parallel faults and fault zones that traverse the nearby vicinity. Several of these
faults, including the Rose Canyon Fault Zone, are considered active faults. Further
discussion of faulting in regards to the site is provided in the Faults and Seismicity
section of this report.

E. Faults/Seismicity
Faults or significant shear zones are not indicated on or near proximity to the project
site.
As with most areas of California, the San Diego region lies within a seismically active
zone; however, coastal areas of the county are characterized by low levels of
seismic activity relative to inland areas to the east. During a 40-year period (1934-
1974), 37 earthquakes were recorded in San Diego coastal areas by the California
Institute of Technology. None of the recorded events exceeded a Richter magnitude
of 3.7, nor did any of the earthquakes generate more than modest ground shaking
or significant damages. Most of the recorded events occurred along various offshore
faults which characteristically generate modest earthquakes.
Historically, the most significant earthquake events which affect local areas originate
along well known, distant fault zones to the east and the Coronado Bank Fault to the
west. Based upon available seismic data, compiled from California Earthquake
Catalogs, the most significant historical event in the area of the study site occurred
in 1800 at an estimated distance of 10.5 miles from the project area. This event,
which is thought to have occurred along an offshore fault, reached an estimated
magnitude of 6.5 with estimated bedrock acceleration values of 0.125g at the project
site. The following list represents the most significant faults which commonly impact
the region. Estimated ground acceleration data compiled from Digitized California
Faults (Computer Program EQ Fault Version 3.00 updated) typically associated with
the fault is also tabulated.
TABLE 1
MAXIMUM
PROBABLE
FAULT ZONE DISTANCE FROM SITE ACCELERATION (R.H.)

Newport-Inglewood Fault 6.0 Miles 0.222g
Elsinore-Julian Fault 24.0 Miles 0.143g
Coronado Bank Fault 21.3 Miles 0.1B3o
The location of significant faults and earthquake events relative to the study site are
depicted on a Fault -Epicenter Map attached to this report as Plate 10.

More recently, the number of seismic events which affect the region appears to have
heightened somewhat. Nearly 40 earthquakes of magnitude 3.5 or higher have been
recorded in coastal regions between January 1984 and August 1986. Most of the
earthquakes are thought to have been generated along offshore faults. For the most
part, the recorded events remain moderate shocks which typically resulted in low
levels of ground shaking to local areas. A notable exception to this pattern was
recorded on July 13, 1986. An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 shook County coastal
areas with moderate to locally heavy ground shaking resulting in $700,000 in
damages, one death, and injuries to 30 people. The quake occurred along an
offshore fault located nearly 30 miles southwest of Oceanside.
A series of notable events shook County areas with a (maximum) magnitude 7.4
shock in the early morning of June 28, 1992. These quakes originated along related
segments of the San Andreas Fault approximately 90 miles to the north. Locally high
levels of ground shaking over an extended period of time resulted; however,
significant damages to local structures were not reported. The increase in
earthquake frequency in the region remains a subject of speculation among
geologists; however, based upon empirical information and the recorded seismic
history of County areas, the 1986 and 1992 events are thought to represent the
highest levels of ground shaking which can be expected at the study site as a result
of seismic activity.
In recent years, the Rose Canyon Fault has received added attention from
geologists. The Rose Canyon Fault is a significant structural feature in metropolitan
San Diego which is characterized by a complex zone of strike-slip, oblique, reverse,
and normal faults that extend onshore from La Jolla Cove south to San Diego Bay.
Test trenching along the fault in Rose Canyon indicated that at that location the fault
was last active 6,000 to 9,000 years ago. More recent work suggests that segments
of the fault are younger having been last active 1000 -2000 years ago.
Consequently, the fault has been classified as active and included within an Alquist-
Priolo Special Studies Zone established by the State of California. A more recent
study of the Newport-Inglewood / Rose Canyon Fault system concluded that the
coastal region of San Diego may experience earthquakes up to magnitudes 7.3 and
7.4 (Sahakian et al, 2017). Work on the fault system also indicates that 6.5 to 6.8
magnitude earthquakes may occur along the Rose Canyon Fault every 1,000 to
1,500 years
Fault zones tabulated in the preceding table are considered most likely to impact the
region of the study site during the lifetime of the project. The faults are periodically
active and capable of generating moderate to locally high levels of ground shaking
at the site. Ground separation as a result of seismic activity is not expected at the
property.

F. Site Classification for Seismic Design
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE6
The Site Class is based on the average conditions present within 100 feet of the
ground surface, and are designated as A-F. Class A is classified as hard rock and
Class F as potentially liquefiable or collapsible soils, and is based on shear wave
velocity. For the A and B classification, it is preferable to measure the shear wave
velocity onsite. Site Classes C, D and E can be determined by seismic methods or
typical Standard Penetration Test (SPT-N) results (based on Section 20.4.2 of
ASCE 7-16) conducted during drilling. Site Classification is then established based
on Table 20.3-1 of ASCE 7-16. Site Class Dis typically used conservatively as a
default, unless otherwise noted. However, the Building Code does allow the design
condition to be estimated by a geotechnical engineer, engineering geologist, or
seismologist with knowledge of specific geologic formations and conditions
(considering weathering and fracturing).
G. Seismic Ground Motion Values
Seismic design values were determined as part of this investigation in accordance
with Chapter 16, Section 1613 of the 2019 California Building Code (CBC) and
ASCE 7-16 Standard. Presented values are generated using the web-based
SEAOC/OSHPD (Structural Engineers Association of America/California's Office of
Statewide Health Planning and Development) ground motion calculator. Generated
results at the site are summarized in the enclosed Appendix.
Requirements provided below are also applicable and should be incorporated in the
project design where appropriate:
1. Site specific hazard analysis is required (see Section 11.4.8} in accordance with
Chapter 21.2 of ASCE 7-16 for structures on Site Class E sites with values of Ss
greater than or equal to 1.0g, and structures on Site Class D and E sites with
values of S1 greater than or equal to 0.2g. However, the following 3 exceptions
are permitted for Equivalent Lateral Force design (ELF) using conservative
values of seismic design parameters in lieu of performing a site specific ground
motion analysis:
• Structures on Site Class E sites with Ss greater than or equal to 1.0, provided
the site coefficient Fa is taken as equal to that of Site Class C.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE?
• For structures on Site Class D sites with 81 greater than or equal to 0.2, a
long period coefficient (Fv) of 1.7 may be utilized for calculation of Ts,
provided that the value of Seismic Response Coefficient (Cs) is determined
by Equation (12.8-2) for values of the fundamental period of the building (T)
less than or equal to 1.5Ts, and taken as 1.5 times the value computed in
accordance with either Equation 12.8-3 for T greater than 1.5 Ts and less
than or equal to TL or Equation 12.8-4 for T greater than TL.
• Structures on Site Class E sites with S 1 greater than or equal to 0.2, provided
that Tis less than or equal to Ts and the equivalent static force procedure is
used for the design.
2. Where Site Class B is recommended, and a site specific measurement is not
provided, the site coefficients Fa, Fv, and FPGA shall be taken as unity (1.0) in
accordance to Section 11.4.3 of ASCE 7-16.
3. Where Site Class D is selected as the default site class per Section 11.4.3 of
ASCE 7-16, the value of Fa shall not be less than 1.2. Where the simplified
procedure of Section 12.4 is used, the value of Fa shall be determined in
accordance with Section 12.14.8.1, and the values of Fv, SMS and 8M1 need not
to be determined.
H. Geologic Hazards
Potential geologic hazards at the project study site were evaluated as part of this
effort in accordance with the Title 24, California Code of Regulations, 2019
California Building Code (CBC) and California Geologic Survey (CGS) Note 48
guidelines:
1. Seismicity: Moderate to locally heavy levels of ground shaking can be
anticipated during rare events along an active fault over the lifetime of the
development. Details of the project's seismic environment are given in a
preceding section.
2. Faulting: Faults or significant shear zones are not indicated within the project
site. The project is not located in proximity to Alquist -Priolo earthquake fault
zone areas associated with active faults discussed above.
3. Flood Inundation: In order to determine general site flooding potential, we
obtained pertinent copies of the available Flood Insurance Rate Map produced
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). According to the
FEMA map, the project site is located in Zone X as depicted on the enclosed
Plate 11. Zone X, by definition, is an area outside the 500-year flood plain.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE. CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGES
Dams, or other significant water retention structures are not within sufficient
distance to the study site. Site flood inundation, a catastrophic erosion or related
hazards are considered unlikely to remote. Site flooding due to natural sheetflow
or street flooding is also considered remote. The site is in close proximity to the
Aqua Hedionda Lagoon. However, as shown on a Tsunami Inundation Map
included as Plate 12, the site is sufficiently removed from the lagoon, making a
Tsunami or Seiche impacting the site remote.
4. Liquefaction and Seismically Induced Settlements: Soil liquefaction or
related ground failures can adversely impact manmade structures and
improvements at the site where subsoils consist of loose sandy alluvial deposits
inundated with groundwater. Liquefaction is the sudden loss of soil strength in
response to ground shaking during an earthquake event.
The project site is underlain at relatively shallow depths by competent and
medium dense to dense sandstone deposits. In addition, static groundwater
conditions were not encountered to the explored depths. Under these
circumstances, the possibility of liquefaction within the underlying natural
deposits is considered extremely remote to none. Secondary phenomena such
as seismically induced ground settlements, surface manifestation, flow slides
and lateral spread potential are also not indicated.
5. Slope Stability: As detailed in a preceding section, significant slopes are not
present and large new graded embankments are not planned. Consequently,
slope stability is not considered to be a major geotechnical factor in the planned
residential development, as currently proposed.
6. Static Settlement: Static or at-rest settlement of foundation bearing soils is an
important factor in the future performance of the planned new structures. At the
project site underlying dense Old Paralic Deposits are stable and competent
deposits.
Post construction settlement is expected to be within the acceptable tolerances
and are anticipated to be less than approximately 1-inch occurring below the
heaviest loaded footing(s).The magnitude of post construction differential
settlement of site fill deposits, as expressed in terms of angular distortion, is not
anticipated to exceed ½-inch in a distance between similarly loaded adjacent
structural elements, or a maximum distance of 20 feet.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE9 HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
7. Collapsible Soils: Buildings and improvements founded on collapsible soils
may be damaged by sudden and often large induced settlement when these
soils are saturated after construction. Collapsible soils are typified by low values
of dry unit weight and natural water content. The amount of settlement depends
on the applied vertical stresses and the extent of the wetting and availability of
water.
Surficial soils and weathered friable sandstone deposits indicate a potential for
collapsible. However, these deposits are recommended for removal and
recompaction. Consequently, soil collapse is not considered a major
geotechnical concern in the project development.
8. Expansive Soils: Based upon our field observations and laboratory testing,
onsite soils are chiefly sandy deposits with very low expansion potential (per ·
ASTM D4829). However, some low expansive sandstone deposits are locally
present, but expected to be in minor quantities overall. Consequently, expansive
soils are not considered a major geotechnical concern provided our grading and
import recommendations are followed.
I. Field and Laboratory Tests and Test Results
Earth deposits encountered in our exploratory test excavations were closely
examined and sampled for laboratory testing. Based upon our test pit and field
exposures site soils have been grouped into the following soil type:

VI. SITE CORROSION ASSESSMENT
A site is considered to be corrosive to foundation elements, walls and drainage structures
if one or more of the following conditions exist:
• Sulfate concentration is greater than or equal to 2000 ppm (0.2% by weight).
• Chloride concentration is greater than or equal to 500 ppm (0.05 % by weight).
• pH is less than 5.5.
For structural elements, the minimum resistivity of soil (or water) indicates the relative
quantity of soluble salts present in the soil (or water). In general, a minimum resistivity
value for soil ( or water) less than 1000 ohm-cm indicates a potential for presence of high
quantities of soluble salts and a higher propensity for corrosion. Appropriate corrosion
mitigation measures for corrosive conditions should be selected depending on the service
environment, amount of aggressive ion salts (chloride or sulfate), pH levels and the desired
service life of the structure.
Results of limited laboratory tests performed on selected representative of site soil samples
indicated that the minimum resistivity is more than 1000 ohm-cm suggesting presence of
low quantities of soluble salts. Test results further indicate that pH levels are greater than
5.5, sulfate concentrations less than 2000ppm and chloride concentration levels less than
500ppm. Based on the results of the available limited corrosion analyses performed on
selected samples, the project site is considered non-corrosive. The project site is not
located within 1000 feet of salt or brackish water, however, the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon lies
approximately 2000 feet to the south.

PAGE13
Vinje & Middleton Engineering, Inc. does not consult in the field of corrosion engineering
and the client, project architect, or structural engineer should agree on the required level
of corrosion protection, or consult a corrosion engineer as warranted. Based on the result
of the tested soil sample, the amount of water soluble sulfate (804) was found to be 0.003
percent by weight which is considered negligible according to ACI 318 (SO Exposure Class
with Not Applicable severity). Water soluble chloride (CL) was found to be 0.006 percent
by weight and concrete is expected to be dry or protected from moisture. Consequently,
exposures to chloride are also considered negligible (CO Exposure Class with Not
Applicable severity). As a minimum, concrete consisting of Portland cement Type II with
minimum 28 days compressive strength (f'c) of 2500 psi and maximum 0.50 water-cement
ratio is typically considered adequate for SO and CO Class exposures, unless otherwise
specified, or noted on the project plans.
Table 1 0 below is appropriate based on the pH-Resistivity test results. Adequate
protective measures against corrosion should be considered for all buried metal pipes,
connections, elbows, conduits, improvements and structures, as necessary and
appropriate. Buried metal pipes and conduits should be wrapped and provided with
appropriate protective cover wherever applicable.

VII. HYDRO MODIFICATIONS
Project stormwater quality treatment control Best Management Practices (BMP), if
appropriate and as applicable, should be designed and constructed considering the site
indicated geotechnical conditions. The implemented management practice(s) and water
treatment control BMPs shall have no short and long term impacts on the site new building
pads, graded embankments and natural surfaces, fills and backfills, structures, and onsite
and nearby offsite improvements.
Bio-retention and filtration systems consisting of vegetated buffers or strips and self-
contained retention/detention areas with impermeable liners on sides and bottom, special
engineered sand filter media and perforated pipe(s) which discharge into an approved
storm drain facility are typical methods consistent with the project geotechnical conditions
for stormwater quality treatment control BMPs, if applicable. The bio-retention/detention
areas should be sited adequately away from the site structures, improvements, retaining
walls, foundations and top and toe of graded embankments, unless otherwise specifically
approved.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE14
The bio-retention/detention basins should be properly sized for adequate storage capacity
with filtrations completed not more than 72 hours and vegetation carefully managed to
prevent creating mosquito and other vector habitats. Additional and more specific
recommendations should be provided by the project geotechnical consultant at the final
plans review phase, if necessary.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the foregoing investigation, the planned single-family residential development,
substantially as proposed, is feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint. The project property
planned for the support of new structures and improvements is underlain by Old Paralic
Deposits at shallow depths overlain by a mantle of loose surficial soils. The following
factors are unique to the property and will most impact project construction procedures and
associated costs from a geotechnical viewpoint:
•. Landslides, faults or significant shear zones are not present at the project property
and are not considered a geotechnical factor in planned development. The study
site is not located near or within the Alquist -Priolo earthquake fault zones
established by the State of California. However, moderate to locally high levels of
ground shaking are expected at the site during occasional periods of seismic activity
along distant active faults.
• The study property is generally characterized by relatively level to gentle surfaces,
and large natural or graded slopes are not present at the project site. Minor road fill
embankments mark the north and east site margins. Finish grades are planned at
78.0 (MSL), which is near adjacent street elevations, requiring imported fill to
achieve design pad grades. The creation of new large graded embankments is not
planned. Consequently, slope stability is not considered a geotechnical concern in
the project development.
• Project earth operations will consist of remedial grading of upper site soils and the
importing of fill soils to achieve finish grades. All excavations, earthwork, remedial
and grading efforts should be completed in accordance with requirements of the
following sections.
• The site surficial soil mantle and upper exposures of the underlying Old Paralic
Deposits are loose and compressible deposits not suitable for structural support.
These deposits should be stripped (removed) to the underlying more dense Old
Paralic Deposits, as approved in the field, and placed back as properly compacted
fills in accordance with the recommendations of this report. Dense Old Paralic
Deposits are those with in-place densities of 86% or better. Approximate stripping
depths are provided in the following sections.

PAGE15
• Stripping and recompaction remedial grading work will be required under all
proposed new structures and site improvements in order to construct uniform
bearing and subgrade soil conditions throughout, as specified in the following
sections. There should be at least 24 inches of well-compacted fills below bottom
of the deepest footing(s). and site improvements, unless otherwise approved. Cut-
fill daylight transition is not expected to be factor in the planned residential
development provided our remedial grading recommendations are followed.
• Added care will be required to avoid any damages to the existing nearby offsite
structures and improvements due to site excavations, remedial earthwork grading
and construction work. Adjacent public and private properties and right-of-ways
should also be properly protected as necessary and appropriate. For this purpose,
completing excavations and remedial grading adjacent to improvements in limited
section may become necessary based on actual field conditions. Permission to
grade offsite, or near property lines, should be obtained from neighboring property
owners and public agencies as necessary and appropriate. Added care should be
taken when grading near the offset limits for the protected Torrey pine tree.
• Earth deposits generated from the site excavations will predominantly consist of
sandy deposits which are considered suitable for reuse as new fills and backfills,
provided they are prepared and manufactured into a uniform mixture in accordance
with requirements of this report.
• Project new fills and backfills should be clean deposits free of trash, roots, stumps,
organic matter and deleterious materials, properly processed, throughly mixed,
placed in thin lifts horizontal lifts and compacted as specified in the following
sections.
• Final bearing and subgrade soils at the project property will be largely based on the
imported soil needed to achieve proposed grades. Import soils should meet the
requirements outlined in a following section, and be approved by the project
geotechnical engineer prior to delivery to the site.
• Groundwater conditions were not encountered to the depths explored and is not
expected to be a factor in the planned new residential construction or impact future
performance of the new building and site improvements. As with all graded sites,
the proper control of surface drainage and storm water is a critical component to
overall site and building performance. Runoff water should not be allowed to flow
onto the property from the adjacent roadways or pond upon graded surfaces
Irrigation water should not be excessive. Over-watering of site vegetation may also
create perched water and the creation of excessively moist areas at finished
surfaces and should be avoided.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE 16
Storm water and drainage control facilities should be designed and installed for
proper control and disposal of surface water as shown on the approved grading or
drainage improvement plans.
• Settlement of foundation bearing soils is not expected to be a major geotechnical
factor in the construction of the planned structures and improvements provided our
recommendations are followed. Post construction foundation bearing soil
settlements are expected to be less than approximately 1-inch and should occur
below the heaviest loaded footing(s). The magnitude of post construction differential
settlements, as expressed in terms of angular distortion, is not anticipated to exceed
½-inch in a distance between similarly loaded adjacent structural elements, or a
maximum distance of 20 feet.
• Soil collapse, liquefaction and seismically induced settlements will not be a factor
in the development of the project property provided our remedial grading
recommendations are followed.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are consistent with the indicated geotechnical conditions
at the project property and should be reflected in the final plans and implemented during
the grading and construction phase. Added or modified recommendations may also be
appropriate and should be provided in a plan review report when final grading and
redevelopment plans are available:
A. Grading and Earthwork:
Modest remedial grading efforts and importing fill soils will be required in order to
achieve final design pad grades and construct safe and stable level surfaces for the
support of planned new structures and site improvements.
Importing fill soils and raising surface grades should only be carried out after
completion remedial grading of existing upper loose to soft surficial fill exposures.
All excavations, grading, earthwork, construction and bearing soil preparation should
be completed in accordance with Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) and Appendix
"J" (Grading) of the 2019 California Building Code (CBC), ASCE 7-16, the Standard
Specifications for Public Works Construction, City of Carlsbad Ordinances, the
requirements of the governing agencies and following sections, wherever
appropriate and as applicable:

AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE 17
1. Existing Underground Utilities and Buried Structures: All existing
underground waterlines, sewer lines, pipes, storm drains, utilities, tanks,
structures and improvements at or nearby the project site should be thoroughly
potholed, identified and marked prior to the initiation of the actual grading and
earthwork. Specific geotechnical engineering recommendations may be required
based on the actual field locations and invert elevations, backfill conditions and
proposed grades in the event of a grading conflict.
Utility lines may need to be temporarily redirected, if necessary, prior to
earthwork operations and reinstalled upon completion of earthwork operations.
Alternatively, permanent relocations may be appropriate as shown on the
approved plans.
Abandoned irrigation lines, pipes and conduits should be properly removed,
capped or sealed off to prevent any potential for future water infiltrations into the
foundation bearing and subgrade soils. Voids created by the removals of the
abandoned underground pipes, tanks and structures should be properly
backfilled with compacted fills in accordance with the requirements of this report.
2. Clearing and Grubbing: Remove all existing surface and subsurface
structures, tanks, vaults, pipes, vegetation, tree roots, stumps, and all other
unsuitable materials and deleterious matter from all areas proposed for new fills,
improvements, and structures plus a minimum of 5 horizontal feet outside the
perimeter, where possible and as approved in the field.
All debris generated from the site clearing and vegetation removals should be
properly disposed from the site. Trash, vegetation and debris generated from the
site clearing and grubbing should not be allowed to occur or contaminate new
site fills and backfills.
The prepared ground should be observed and approved by the project
geotechnical consultant or his designated field representative prior to grading
and earthwork.
3. Over-Excavations and Removals: Uniform and stable bearing soils conditions
shall be constructed under all planned site structures and improvements. For this
purpose, over-excavation (removal) and recompaction of the site surficial soil
mantle and upper weathered exposures of underlying Old Paralic Deposits will
be required. Over-excavations and remedial grading should extend a minimum
of 5 horizontal feet outside the perimeter of the proposed new building and
improvement envelop where possible, unless otherwise approved in the field.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE18
Over-excavation depths shall encompass the entire building and improvement
envelop and extend to the underlying dense and competent Old Paralic Deposits
suitable for receiving new fills and backfills (in-place densities of 86% or better),
as approved in the field. Actual over-excavation depths should be established
in the field by the project geotechnical consultant or his designated field
representative. However, based on available exploratory test pits, over-
excavation depths are anticipated to be on the order of 4 to 5 feet below the
existing ground surfaces (BGS). Locally, deeper over-excavations may be
necessary and should be anticipated.
Bottom of all removals should be additionally prepared, ripped and recompacted
to a minimum depth of 6 inches, as a part of initial fill lift placement, and as
directed in the field. The exposed bottom of over-excavation should be observed
and expose dense and competent sandstone deposits, below the weathered
zone, as approved by the project geotechnical consultant or his designated field
representative prior to fill or backfill placement.
4. Temporary Excavation Slopes and Trenching: Over-excavation and
trenching deeper than 5 feet maximum are not expected in connection with the
project development. In general, undermining existing nearby underground
utilities and improvements, structures and adjacent public and private properties
by the site excavations, removal and trenching operations shall not be allowed.
For this purpose, adequate excavation set backs shall be maintained and
excavation slopes laid back at safe gradients, where necessary and as
appropriate.
Temporary excavations and trenching less than 3 feet in maximum height, may
be constructed at near vertical gradients, unless otherwise approved or directed
in the field. Temporary excavations and trenching greater than 3 feet may be
constructed at near vertical gradients in the lower 3 feet and laid back at 1 : 1
gradients within the upper portion. The remaining wedge exposed at the laid
back temporary slopes should then be properly benched out and new
fills/backfills tightly keyed-in as the backfilling progresses. All temporary
construction slopes will require geotechnical observation during the excavation
operations.
Additional and site specific recommendations should be given in the field by the
project geotechnical consultant based on actual exposures. Revised temporary
construction slope and trenching recommendations including flatter slope
gradients, larger setbacks and the need for temporary shoring/trench shield
support may be necessary and should be anticipated.

HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE19
The project contractor shall also obtain appropriate permits, as needed, and
conform to Cal-OSHA and local governing agencies' requirements for
trenching/open excavations and safety of the workmen during construction.
Appropriate permits for offsite grading or excavation encroachments into the
adjacent neighboring private properties, utility easement(s) and public right-of-
ways shall be obtained from respective owners and agencies, as required and
necessary.
5. Imported Soil: Import soils, required to complete grading and achieve final
design pad grades, should be good quality sandy granular non-corrosive
deposits (SM/SW) with very low expansion potential (100% passing 1-inch sieve,
more than 50% passing #4 sieve and less than 18% passing #200 sieve with
expansion index less than 20). Import soils should be observed, tested as
necessary, and approved by the project geotechnical engineer prior to delivery
to the site. Import soils should also meet or exceed engineering characteristic
and soil design parameters as specified in the following sections.
6. Fill/Backfill Placement, Spreading and Compaction: Uniform bearing and
subgrade soil conditions should be constructed throughout the building and
improvement surfaces by the project pad and remedial grading earthwork
operations. Site soils should be adequately processed, thoroughly mixed,
moisture conditioned to slightly (2%) above the optimum moisture levels, as
directed in the field in thin (8 inches maximum) uniform horizontal lifts and
mechanically compacted to a minimum of 90% of the corresponding laboratory
maximum dry density per ASTM D1557, unless otherwise approved or directed
in the field.
7. Surface Drainage and Erosion Control: A critical element to the continued
stability of graded building pad and improvement surfaces is an adequate
stormwater and surface drainage control.
Surface water should not be allowed to flow toward or pond near the building
foundations or impact the graded construction and improvement sites. For this
purpose establishing positive drainage (minimum 5%) during fine grading efforts
away from the building and site improvements onto a suitable drainage collection
and disposal facility will be necessary. Roof gutters and area drains should be
installed. Over-watering of the site landscaping should also not be allowed. Only
the amount of water to sustain vegetation should be provided.
Temporary erosion control facilities and silt fences should be installed during the
construction phase periods and until landscaping is fully established. Site
drainage improvements should be completed as shown on the project approved
grading/erosion control plans.

8. Engineering Observations and Testing: All earthwork operations including
excavations, removals (stripping), suitability of earth deposits used as
compacted fills and backfills, and compaction procedures should be continuously
observed and tested by the project geotechnical consultant and presented in a
final report. The nature of finished bearing and subgrade soils should be
confirmed in the final report at the completion of project earthworks construction.
Geotechnical engineering observations and testing should include but are not
limited to the following:
• Initial observation -After clearing and grading limits have been staked, but
before brushing and over-excavations start.
• Stripping, removals and bottom of over-excavation observation -After dense
and firm Old Paralic Deposits are exposed, but before new fill or backfill is
placed.
• Temporary trenching and excavation observations -After the excavation is
started but before the vertical depth of excavation is more than 4 feet. Local
and Cal-OSHA safety requirements for open excavations apply.
• Fill/backfill observation -After the fill/backfill placement is started but before
the vertical height of fill/backfill exceeds 2 feet. A minimum of one test shall
be required for each 100 lineal feet maximum in every 2 feet vertical gain,
with the exception of wall backfills where a minimum of one test shall be
required for each 30 lineal feet maximum. Finish rough and final pad grade
tests shall be required regardless of fill thickness.
• Foundation trench and subgrade soil observation -After the foundation
trench excavations but prior to the placement of steel reinforcing for proper
moisture and specified compaction levels.
• Geotechnical foundation/slab steel observation -After the steel placement is
completed but before the scheduled concrete pour.
• Underground utility, plumbing and storm drain trench observation -After the
trench excavations but before placement of pipe bedding or installation of the
underground facilities. Local and Cal-OSHA safety requirements for open
excavations apply. Observations and testing of pipe bedding may also be
required by the project geotechnical engineer.

PAGE 21
• Underground utility, plumbing and storm drain trench backfill observation -
After the backfill placement is started above the pipe zone but before the
vertical height of backfill exceeds 2 feet. Testing of the backfill within the pipe
zone may also be required by the governing agencies. Pipe bedding and
backfill materials shall conform to the governing agencies' requirements and
project soils report if applicable. Plumbing trenches more than 12 inches
deep maximum under the floor slabs should also be mechanically compacted
and tested for a minimum of 90% compaction levels. Flooding or jetting
techniques as a means of compaction method should not be allowed.
• Pavement/improvements base and subgrade observation -Prior to the
placement of concrete or asphalt for proper moisture and specified
compaction levels.
B. Footings and Slab-on-Grade Floor Foundations
The following recommendations are consistent with the recommended sandy
(SM/SW) imported bearing soils with very low expansion potential ( expansion index
less than 20), and site indicated geotechnical conditions. All design
recommendations should be further confirmed and/or revised as necessary at
completion of site grading work based on actual testing of final bearing and
subgrade soils:
1. Shallow stiff concrete footings and slab-on-grade floor type foundations may be
considered for support of the new dwelling and ADU structure. All foundations
should be supported on minimum 90% compacted fills, placed in accordance
with the requirements of this report. There should be at least 24 inches of
compacted fills below bottom of the deepest footing(s) throughout (or at least 4
feet of compacted fill below rough finish pad grades), unless otherwise
approved.
2. Perimeter and interior continuous strip footings should be sized at least 15
inches wide and 18 inches deep for one and two-story building loading
conditions. Isolated spread pad footings, if any, should be at least 24 inches
square and 18 inches deep and structurally interconnected with the continuous
strip footings with grade beams. Interconnecting grade beams should be a
minimum of 12 inches wide by 18 inches deep. Footing depths are measured
from the lowest adjacent ground surface, not including the sand/gravel layer
underneath floor slabs.
Exterior continuous footings should enclose the entire building perimeter.
Flagpole footings also need to be tied together if the footing depth is less than
4 feet below rough finish grade.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE 22
Continuous interior and exterior footings should be reinforced by at least 2-#5
reinforcing bars placed near the top and 2-#5 reinforcing bars placed near the
bottom. Interconnecting grade beams (if any are required) should be reinforced
with minimum 2-#4 bars top and bottom and #3 ties at 30 inches center to center
maximum. Reinforcement details for spread pad footings should be provided by
the project architect/structural engineer.
3. All interior slabs should be a minimum 5 inches in thickness, reinforced with #4
reinforcing bars spaced 16 inches on center each way, placed mid-height in the
slab. Slabs should be underlain by 4 inches of clean sand (SE 30 or greater)
which is provided with a well performing moisture barrier/vapor retardant
(minimum 10-mil Stego) placed mid-height in the sand. Alternatively, a 4-inch
thick base of compacted ½-inch clean aggregate provided with the vapor barrier
(minimum 15-mil Stego) in direct contact with (beneath) the concrete may also
be considered provided a concrete mix which can address bleeding, shrinkage
and curling is used
Provide "softcut" contraction/control joints consisting of sawcuts spaced 1 0 feet
on centers each way for all interior slabs. Cut as soon as the slab will support the
weight of the saw and operate without disturbing the final finish which is normally
within 2 hours after final finish at each control joint location or 150 psi to 800 psi.
The sawcuts should be minimum 1-inch in depth but should not exceed 1 ¼-
inches deep maximum. Anti-ravel skid plates should be used and replaced with
each blade to avoid spalling and raveling. Avoid wheeled equipments across
cuts for at least 24 hours.
Provide re-entrant corner reinforcement for all interior slabs. Re-entrant corners
will depend on slab geometry and/or interior column locations. The enclosed
Plate 13 may be used as a general guideline.
4. Foundation trenches and slab subgrade soils should be observed and tested for
exposing suitable bearing strata, proper moisture and specified compaction
levels and approved by the project geotechnical consultant prior to steel
placement or pouring concrete.
C. Soil Design Parameters
The following soil design parameters are based on the available strength tests
completed by this office on representative samples of onsite earth deposits and are
appropriate for the proposed retaining wall designs:
1. Design soil unit weight= 116 pcf.
2. Design angle of internal friction of soil = 30 degrees.
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE 23 HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE. CARLSBAD. CALIFORNIA
3. Design active soil pressure for retaining structures= 39 pcf (EFP), level backfill,
cantilever, unrestrained walls.
4. Design at-rest soil pressure for retaining structures= 58 pcf (EFP), non-yielding,
restrained walls.
5. Design soil passive resistance for retaining structures = 347 pcf (EFP), level
surface at the toe (soil mass on the toe side extends a minimum of 1 O feet or 3
times the height of the surface generating passive resistance).
6. Design coefficient of friction for concrete on soils = 0.38.
7. Net allowable foundation pressure = 1500 psi.
8. Allowable lateral bearing pressure = 150 psf/ft.
Notes:
-An additional seismic force due to seismic increments of earth pressure should
also be considered in the project designs, if appropriate and where applicable. A
seismic lateral inverted triangular earth pressure of 17 pcf (EFP), acting at 0.6H
(H is the retained height) above the base of the wall should be considered.
Alternatively, seismic loading based on Mononobe-Okake (M-O) coefficients may
be considered for seismic force due to seismic increments of earth pressure. The
following relationships and design values are appropriate:
Wall Total Seismic Lateral Ka Ko Kh KAE KoE Ysoil
Condition Lateral Pressure
Pressure
Unrestrain PAE=PA + PAE IIPAE=¾KhYH' 0.33 . 0.15 0.48 -116
ed
Restrained POE=PO + POE IIPOE=Kh YH2 -0.50 0.15 -0.65 116
-Use a minimum safety factor of 1.5 for wall over-turning and sliding stability.
However, because large movements must lake place before maximum passive
resistance can be developed, a safety factor of 2 may be considered for sliding
stability where sensitive structures and improvements are planned near or on top
of retaining walls.
-When combining passive pressure and frictional resistance the passive
component should be reduced by one-third. The upper 6 inches of ground
surfaces should not be included in the design for passive soil resistance, unless
otherwise noted or specified.

-The net allowable foundation pressure provided herein were determined based
on minimum 12 inches wide by 12 inches deep footings. The indicated value may
be increased by 20% for each additional foot of depth and 20% for each additional
foot of width to a maximum of 4500 psi, if needed. The allowable foundation
pressures provided herein also applies to dead plus live loads and may be
increased by one-third for wind and seismic loading.
-The allowable lateral bearing earth pressures may be increased by the amount of
the designated value for each additional foot of depth to a maximum of 1500
pounds per square foot.
D. Swimming Pool/ Spa Construction
A swimming pool/ spa is proposed on the southeast pad margin, as shown on the
enclosed Plate 2.
The pool excavations are expected to expose low expansive, fills soils (based on our
import recommendations). The pool should be entirely supported on compacted fills
or undisturbed bedrock. In the case of fill support, there should be at least 12-inches
of well-compacted fill beneath the pool.
The pool may be designed and constructed for very low expansive soils (expansion
index less than 20) and based on lateral earth pressures provided in this report. The
pool should also be provided with a minimum 15 inch wide by 18 inch deep perimeter
grade beam reinforced with minimum 2-#4 bars top and bottom around the top of the
concrete shell. Pool shell reinforcements and thickness per structural details.
E. Exterior Concrete Slabs and Flatwork
1. All exterior slabs (walkways, patios, pool flatwork) supported on very low
expansive subgrade soils should be a minimum of 4 inches in thickness,
reinforced with #3 bars at 18 inches on center in both directions placed mid-
height in the slab. The subgrade soils should be recompacted to minimum 90%
compaction levels at the time of fine grading and before placing the slab
reinforcement.
Reinforcements lying on subgrade will be ineffective and shortly corrode due to
lack of adequate concrete cover. Reinforcing bars should be correctly placed
extending through the construction joints tying the slab panels. In construction
practices where the reinforcements are discontinued or cut at the construction
joints, slab panels should be tied together with minimum 18 inches long #3
dowels at 18 inches on centers placed mid-height in the slab (9 inches on either
side of the joint).

2. Provide "tool joint" or "softcut" contraction/control joints spaced 1 0 feet on center
(not to exceed 12 feet maximum) each way. The larger dimension of any panel
shall not exceed 125% of the smaller dimension. Tool or cut as soon as slab will
support weight, and can be operated without disturbing the final finish which is
normally within 2 hours after final finish at each control joint location or 150 psi
to 800 psi. Tool or softcuts should be a minimum of 1-inch but should not
exceed 1 ¼-inch deep maximum. In case of softcut joints, anti-ravel skid plates
should be used and replaced with each blade to avoid spalling and raveling.
Avoid wheeled equipments across cuts for at least 24 hours.
Joints shall intersect free-edges at a 90° angle and shall extend straight for a
minimum of 1½ feet from the edge. The minimum angle between any two
intersecting joints shall be 80°. Align joints of adjacent panels. Also, align joints
in attached curbs with joints in slab panels. Provide adequate curing using
approved methods (curing compound maximum coverage rate = 200 sq.
ft./gal.).
3. As a minimum, use Green Book 560-C-3250 concrete for sidewalks, flatwork
and exterior slabs. All exterior slab designs should be confirmed in the final as-
graded compaction report.
4. Subgrade soils should be tested for proper moisture and specified compaction
levels and approved by the project geotechnical consultant prior to the
placement of concrete.
F. Pavement Design
1. Asphalt Concrete (HMA) Paving: Specific HMA pavement designs can best
be provided at the completion of rough grading based on R-value tests of the
actual finish subgrade soils; however, the following structural sections may be
considered for initial planning phase and cost estimating purposes only (not for
construction):
• A minimum section of 4 inches HMA (AC) on 6 inches Caltrans Class 2
aggregate base (AB) or the minimum structural section required by City of
Carlsbad, whichever is more, may be considered for the onsite asphalt
paving surfaces outside the private and public right-of-way. Actual designs
will depend on final subgrade R-value and design Tl, and the approval of the
City of Carlsbad.

• Maximum lift for asphalt concrete shall not exceed 3 inches, unless
otherwise approved. The asphalt concrete layer (4-inch total section) may
consist of 2.5 inches of a binder/base course (¾-inch aggregate) and 1.5
inches of finish top course (½-inch aggregate) topcoat, placed in accordance
with the applicable local and regional codes and standards. The Class 2
aggregate or recycled base (AB) materials shall meet or exceed the
requirements set forth in the current California Standard Specification
(Caltrans Section 26-1.02). Aggregate base (AB) materials should be
compacted to a minimum 95% of the corresponding maximum dry density
(ASTM D-1557). Subgrade soils beneath the asphalt paving surfaces should
also be compacted to a minimum 95% of the corresponding maximum dry
density within the upper 12 inches.
2. PCC Paving: Residential PCC driveways and parking supported on very low
expansive (expansion index less than 20) granular subgrade soils should be a
minimum of 5½ inches in thickness, reinforced with #3 reinforcing bars at 16
inches on center each way placed at mid-height in the slab. Subgrade soils
beneath the PCC driveways and parking should be compacted to a minimum
95% of the corresponding maximum dry density, unless otherwise specified. As
a minimum, use Green Book 560-C-3250 concrete for PCC pavings.
Reinforcing bars should be correctly placed extending through the construction
(cold) joints tying the slab panels. In construction practices where the
reinforcements are discontinued or cut at the construction joints, slab panels
should be tied together with minimum 18 inch long (9 inches on either side of the
joint) #3 dowels at 16 inches on centers placed mid-height in the slab.
Provide "tool joint" or "softcut" contraction/control joints spaced 1 0 feet on center
(not to exceed 15 feet maximum) each way. The larger dimension of any panel
shall not exceed 125% of the smaller dimension. Tool or cut as soon as the slab
will support the weight and can be operated without disturbing the final finish
which is normally within 2 hours after final finish at each control joint location or
150 psi to 800 psi. Tool or softcuts should be a minimum of 1-inch in depth but
should not exceed 1 ¼-inches deep maximum. In case of softcut joints, anti-
ravel skid plates should be used and replaced with each blade to avoid spalling
and raveling. Avoid wheeled equipments across cuts for at least 24 hours.
Joints shall intersect free-edges at a 90 ° angle and shall extend straight for a
minimum of 1 ½ feet from the edge. The minimum angle between any two
intersecting joints shall be 80°. Align joints of adjacent panels. Also, align joints
in attached curbs with joints in slab panels. Provide adequate curing using
approved methods (curing compound maximum coverage rate= 200 sq. fl./gal.).

3. General Paving: Base section and subgrade preparation per structural section
design, will be required for all surfaces subject to traffic including roadways,
travelways, drive lanes, driveway approaches and ribbon (cross) gutters.
Driveway approaches within the public right-of-way should have 12 inches
subgrade compacted to a minimum of 95% compaction levels and provided with
a 95% compacted Class 2 base section per the structural section design.
Base layer under curb and gutters should be compacted to a minimum of 95%,
while subgrade soils under curb and gutters, and base and subgrade under
sidewalks should be compacted to a minimum of 90% compaction levels, unless
otherwise specified. Base section may not be required under curb and gutters,
and sidewalks, in the case of very low to non-expansive subgrade soils
(expansion index less than 20). More specific recommendations should be
given in the final as-graded compaction report.
G. General Recommendations
1. The minimum foundation design and steel reinforcement provided herein are
based on soil characteristics and are not intended to be in lieu of reinforcement
necessary for structural considerations.
2. Adequate staking and grading control is a critical factor in properly completing
the recommended remedial and site grading operations. Grading control and
staking should be provided by the project grading contractor or surveyor/civil
engineer, and is beyond the geotechnical engineering services. Staking should
apply the required setbacks shown on the approved plans and conform to
setback requirements established by the governing agencies and applicable
codes for the protected Torrey Pine, off site private/public properties and property
lines, utility easements, right-of-ways, nearby structures and improvements,
leach fields and septic systems, and graded embankments. Inadequate staking
and/or lack of grading control may result in illegal encroachments or
unnecessary additional grading which will increase construction costs.
3. Open or backfilled trenches parallel with a footing shall not be below a projected
plane having a downward slope of 1-unit vertical to 2 units horizontal (50%) from
a line 9 inches above the bottom edge of the footing, and not closer than 18
inches from the face of such footing.
4. Where pipes cross under-footings, the footings shall be specially designed.
Pipe sleeves shall be provided where pipes cross through footings or footing
walls, and sleeve clearances shall provide for possible footing settlement, but
not less than 1-inch all around the pipe.

5. Expansive clayey soils should not be used for backfilling of any retaining
structure. All retaining walls should be provided with a 1 :1 wedge of granular,
compacted backfill measured from the base of the wall footing to the finished
surface and a well-constructed back drain system as shown on the enclosed
Typical retaining Wall Backdrain, Plate 14. Planting large trees behind site
retaining walls should be avoided.
6. All underground utility and plumbing trenches should be mechanically
compacted to a minimum of 90% (95% in public right-of-way) of the maximum
dry density of the soil unless otherwise specified or required by the governing
agencies. Care should be taken not to crush the utilities or pipes during the
compaction of the soil. Very low expansive, granular import backfill soils should
be used. Trench backfill materials and compaction beneath pavements within
the public right-of-way shall conform to the requirements of governing agencies.
7. Finish ground surfaces immediately adjacent to the building foundations shall be
sloped away from the building at a minimum 5% for a minimum horizontal
distance of 1 0 feet measured perpendicular to face of the building wall (CBC
1804.4 Site Grading). If physical obstructions or property lines prohibit 10 feet
of horizontal distance, a 5% slope shall be provided with an alternative method
for diverting water away from the foundation. Swales used for this purpose shall
be sloped not less than 2% where located within 1 0 feet of the building
foundation. Impervious surfaces (concrete sidewalks) within 10 feet of the
building foundation shall also be sloped at minimum 2% away from the building.
8. Care should be taken during the construction, improvements, and fine grading
phases not to disrupt the designed drainage patterns. Roof lines of the buildings
should be provided with roof gutters. Roof water should be collected and
directed away from the buildings and structures to a suitable location.
9. All foundation trenches should be observed to ensure adequate footing
embedment and confirm competent bearing soils. Foundation and slab
reinforcements should also be inspected and approved by the project
geotechnical consultant.
10. The amount of shrinkage and related cracks that occur in the concrete slab-on-
grades, flatwork and driveways depend on many factors, the most important of
which is the amount of water in the concrete mix. The purpose of the slab
reinforcement is to keep normal concrete shrinkage cracks closed tightly. The
amount of concrete shrinkage can be minimized by reducing the amount of
water in the mix. To keep shrinkage to a minimum the following should be
considered:

HILLSIDE DRIVE & PARK DRIVE, CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 18, 2020
PAGE 29
• Use the stiffest mix that can be handled and consolidated satisfactorily.
• Use the largest maximum size of aggregate that is practical. For example,
concrete made with %-inch maximum size aggregate usually requires about
40-lbs. more (nearly 5-gal.) water per cubic yard than concrete with 1-inch
aggregate.
• Cure the concrete as long as practical.
The amount of slab reinforcement provided for conventional slab-on-grade
construction considers that good quality concrete materials, proportioning,
craftsmanship, and control tests where appropriate and applicable are
provided.
11. A preconstruction meeting between representatives of this office, the
property owner or planner, city inspector as well as the grading
contractor/builder is recommended in order to discuss grading and
construction details associated with site development.
X. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER OF RECORD (GER)
Vinje & Middleton Engineering, Inc. will be the geotechnical engineer of record (GER) for
providing a specific scope of work or professional service under a contractual agreement
unless it is terminated or canceled by either the client or our firm. In the event a new
geotechnical consultant or soils engineering firm is hired to provide added engineering
services, professional consultations, engineering observations and compaction testing,

The conclusions and recommendations provided herein have been based on available
data obtained from the review of pertinent reports and plans, subsurface exploratory
excavations as well as our experience with the soils and formational materials located in
the general area. The materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our
laboratory testing are believed representative of the total area; however, earth materials
may vary in characteristics between excavations.
Of necessity, we must assume a certain degree of continuity between exploratory
excavations and/or natural exposures. It is necessary, therefore, that all observations,
conclusions, and recommendations be verified during the grading operation. In the event
discrepancies are noted, we should be contacted immediately so that an inspection can
be made and additional recommendations issued if required.
The recommendations made in this report are applicable to the site at the time this report
was prepared. It is the responsibility of the owner/developer to ensure that these
recommendations are carried out in the field.
It is almost impossible to predict with certainty the future performance of a property. The
future behavior of the site is also dependent on numerous unpredictable variables, such
as earthquakes, rainfall, and on-site drainage patterns.
The firm of VINJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC., shall not be held responsible for
changes to the physical conditions of the property such as addition of fill soils, added cut
slopes, or changing drainage patterns which occur without our inspection or control.
This report should be considered valid for a period of one year and is subject to review by
our firm following that time. If significant modifications are made to your tentative
reconstruction plan, especially with respect to the height and location of cut and fill slopes,
this report must be presented to us for review and possible revision.
This report is issued with the understanding that the owner or his representative is
responsible to ensure that the information and recommendations are provided to the
project architect/structural engineer so that they can be incorporated into the plans.
Necessary steps shall be taken to ensure that the project general contractor and
subcontractors carry out such recommendations during construction.
The project geotechnical engineer should be provided the opportunity for a general review
of the project final design plans and specifications in order to ensure that the
recommendations provided in this report are properly interpreted and implemented. If the
project geotechnical engineer is not provided the opportunity of making these reviews, he
can assume no responsibility for misinterpretation of his recommendations.

I. Isolation joints around the columns should be either circular as shown in (A) or diamond shaped as shown in (B).
If no isolation joints are used around comlumns, or if comers of the isolation joints do no meet the contraction
joints, radial cracking as shown in (C) may occur (Reference ACI).
2. In order to control cracking at the re-entrant comers (±_270° comers), provide reinforcement as shown in (C).
3. Re-entrant coner reinforcement shown is provided as a general guideline only and is subject to verification and
changes by the project architect or structural engineer based upon slab geometry, location, and other engineering
and construction factors.
