1.0.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Thesite is located between 5Ist Avenue South and 53rd Avenue South
and South of 154th Street, King County, Washington.
The site presently has a house, garage and patio slab which will have
to be removed. The site slopes to the Southeast and is presently under
cultivation. The alluvium is Wisconsian in Age. There is glacial
drift material with some sections sorted.
2.0.0 METHODS OF INVESTIGATION
The following methods were used to study the subsurface conditions:
Wash borings, core borings and sounding rods. Disturbed samples
were taken with the washed borings and undisturbed samples were
taken with the core borings.
UNDISTURBED SAMPLING
The materials were carefully removed from the sampler in order to
keep the soil as near to natural conditions as possible.
A shelby tube, which is 3" in diameter and 18" long, was used to
take undisturbed samples for testing. The percent of water, shear
and compaction of material and the size and gradation of the material
was measured.
DISTURBED SAMPLING
Disturbed samples were taken from the cuttings of the drilling opera-
tion and by use of an auger.
Standard penetration tests were taken by blow count method to deter-
mine the bearing ability. (This method is described by Peck, Thorn -
berg and Hansen "Foundation Engineers" as the basis for computing
bearing ability).

5.0.0 WATER TABLE LOCATION AND FLUCTUATION
The water table for Bore Holes #I and #2 are listed as follows:
Bore Hole 1/I
Bore Hole #2
SUMMARY:
The sediments saturated with duri-
crusting present on sediments, show-
ing wide fluctuation of the water
table.
The soil saturated. The sediments
showing duricrusting which indicates
a wide fluctuation of the water table.
The sediments in the bore holes indicate that there are numerous layers
which conduct water during certain periods of the wet cycle. The cycle
has repeated itself many times as indicated by extensive duricrusting
and mineralization on many of the grain surfaces. The water present
has a calcium carbonate content. Many of the sediments have develop-
ed annular type rings around the original grain.
6.0.0 DESCRIPTION AND RESULTS OF TESTS
The following tests were run in accordance with AASHO and ASTM
Specifications:
I. Gradation analysis.
2. Soil samples were taken for sieve analysis and oven -
dried at a constant temperature of 110° C (230°F).
3. Moisture Density AASHO T -99.
4. Field Moisture AASHO T -93.
5. Dry Density.
6. Soil Density which includes the following:
A. Shrinkage ratio, shrinkage limits and volumetric
change AASHO T -92.
7. Gradation curve.
8. Direct shear (test on soil 3 points at 0.05 inches per
min.)
9. Standard Penetrometer test every other 2nd foot.
The results of the tests show that we have considered the consolida-
tion and expansion characteristics and have found expansion to be no
problem, but consolidation to be significant in the design of the foot-
ings. The top six inches of soil and vegetation should be removed, and
can be used to fill -in around the finished building.
7.0.0 FOUNDATION LOAD REQUIREMENTS
SPECIAL PROBLEMS, RECOMMENDA-
TIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
FOUNDATION LOAD REQUIREMENTS
Our investigation shows that spread footings will be adequate for the
site. We recommend a bearing pressure of 2500 lbs. per square foot
and this shall be considered the net pressure.
SPECIAL PROBLEMS
The site has thin sand lenticular sections which showed characteristics
of liquefaction, but testing was not performed. In the event of an
earthquake, tectonic adjustments can be anticipated.
The remaining sections of my proposal dated October ,31, 1977, were
not performed at owner's request.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The foundation Toad requirements on the Foster's Unusual Furniture
Store show that spread footings will be adequate based on available
information obtained from the two bore holes, and the soil loading
characteristics show that 2 1/2 kips shall be a total of all live, dead
and overturning loads.
It is also recommended that a drain be placed around the foundation
to remove any water due to rain or ground water.
