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). 1' 17, 7' C.- 0 .- 0 v) T3 0 • - `6) PROJECT Foster's Unusual Furniture DATE November, 19/1 REMARKS --Tore 171-6-1-e--#T VISUAL CLASSIFiCATION Top Soil Clay Gravelly sil t Clayey silt with gravel and sand and silt layez&_ 3.0.0 SOH P R nri r: I- M LL1 I— LLJ ta_ LL LLJ CJ 12 ' D 14 15 15 -7.3- , r L._ -7 0- -..- ,..)

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.
