Terracon Project No. 20985216
Terracon has completed a geotechnical engineering exploration for the proposed shopping
center to be located at the southwest corner of Harmony and Timberline Roads, Fort
Collins, Colorado. This study was performed in general accordance with our proposal
number D2098268 dated November 13, 1998.
The results of our engineering study, including the boring location diagram, laboratory test
results, test boring records, and the geotechnical recommendations needed to aid in the
design and construction of foundations and other earth connected phases of this project
are attached.
The subsurface soils at the site consisted of lean clay with sand and sandy lean clay
underlain by silty and/or clayey sand with gravel. Field and laboratory test results indicate
the clay soils exhibit low to moderate swell potential and moderate bearing characteristics.
Based on the type of construction proposed, it is recommended the proposed structures be
supported by conventional-type spread footing and/or grade beam foundation systems.
Slab-on-grade construction may be utilized provided care is taken in the placement and
compaction of the subgrade soil and if the recommendations set forth in the report are
followed.
Other design and construction recommendations, based upon geotechnical conditions, are
presented in the report.

TERRACON PROJECT NO. 20985216
DECEMBER 29, 1998
INTRODUCTION
This report contains the results of our geotechnical engineering exploration for the proposed
shopping center to be located on Timberline and Horsetooth Roads, Fort Collins, Colorado.
The site is located in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 6, Township 6 North, Range 68 West of
the 6th Principal Meridian.
The purpose of these services is to provide information and geotechnical engineering
recommendations relative to:
subsurface soil conditions
groundwater conditions
foundation design and construction
lateral earth pressures
floor slab design and construction
pavement design and construction
earthwork
drainage
The recommendations contained in this report are based upon the results of field and
laboratory testing, engineering analyses, and experience with similar soil conditions,
structures and our understanding of the proposed project.
A Report of a Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation was prepared that included the site
area by Terracon in May of 1993.
Geotechnical Engineering Report

Terracon Project No. 20985216
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
Based on information provided by JR Engineering Ltd., the proposed structures are to be
one- and two-story buildings with slab-on-grade construction. A theater and neighborhood
services building are located along the west portion of the site. Restaurants, banks and
office pads are located along the east and north portions of the site.
Grading plans prepared by JR Engineering Ltd., indicate minor cuts of 1 to 2 feet and fills of
between 1 and 4 feet over the majority of the site. Parking areas are planned adjacent to
the buildings with a major parking area located in the central portion of the site.
SITE EXPLORATION
The scope of the services performed for this project included a site reconnaissance by a
geotechnical engineer, a subsurface exploration program, laboratory testing and engineering
analyses.
Field Exploration
A total of 24 test borings were drilled on December 9 and 11, 1998. The borings were drilled
to approximate depths of 10 to 15 feet at the locations shown on the Site Plan, Figure 1.
The borings were advanced with a truck-mounted drilling rig, utilizing 4-inch diameter solid
stem augers.
The borings were located in the field by pacing from existing street intersections and site
features. Ground surface elevations at each boring location were interpolated from a
topographic map prepared by JR Engineering Ltd. dated November 6, 1998. The accuracy
of boring locations and elevations should only be assumed to the level implied by the
methods used.
Continuous lithologic logs of each boring were recorded by the engineering geologist during
the drilling operations. At selected intervals, samples of the subsurface materials were taken
by means of pushing thin-walled Shelby tubes, or by driving split-spoon samplers. Bulk
samples of subsurface materials were obtained from borings in pavement areas.
Penetration resistance measurements were obtained by driving the split-spoon into the
subsurface materials with a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The penetration

resistance value is a useful index in estimating the consistency, relative density or hardness
of the materials encountered.
Groundwater conditions were evaluated in each boring at the time of site exploration, and 1
to 5 days after drilling.
Laboratory Testing
All samples retrieved during the field exploration were returned to the laboratory for
observation by the project geotechnical engineer and were classified in accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System described in Appendix C. At that time, the field
descriptions were confirmed or modified as necessary and an applicable laboratory testing
program was formulated to determine engineering properties of the subsurface materials.
Boring logs were prepared and are presented in Appendix A.
Laboratory tests were conducted on selected soil samples and are presented in Appendix B.
The test results were used for the geotechnical engineering analyses, and the development
of foundation and earthwork recommendations. All laboratory tests were performed in
general accordance with the applicable ASTM, local or other accepted standards.
Selected soil samples were tested for the following engineering properties:
Water Content Grain size
Dry Density Permeability
Consolidation R-Value
Compressive Strength Plasticity Index
Expansion Resistivity
Shear Strength Water Soluble Sulfate Content
SITE CONDITIONS
The site consists of an irrigated farm field vegetated with cut grain. The area is relatively flat
and has minor drainage to the south and east. The property is bordered to the west by an
existing warehouse, to the south by an existing residence, to the north by Harmony Road,
3

Terracon Project No. 20985216
and to the east by Timberline Road. Evidence of a previous farmstead is located at the
northeast corner of the property. Future City streets consisting of Wilmington Drive,
Rockport Court, and Delaney Drive are to be constructed in the south and east portions of
the site. A geotechnical engineering report for these streets will be done at a later date after
the street subgrade has been completed in accordance with City of Fort Collins
requirements.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Geology
The proposed area is located within the Colorado Piedmont section of the Great Plains
physiographic province. The Colorado Piedmont, formed during Late Tertiary and Early
quaternary time (approximately 2,000,000 years ago), is a broad, erosional trench which
separates the Southern Rocky Mountains from the High Plains. Structurally, the site lies
along the western flank of the Denver Basin. During the Late Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic
Periods (approximately 70,000,000 years ago), intense tectonic activity occurred, causing
the uplifting of the Front Range and associated downwarping of the Denver Basin to the
east. Relatively flat uplands and broad valleys characterize the present-day topography of
the Colorado Piedmont in this region. The site is underlain by the Cretaceous Pierre
Formation, and it is anticipated the Pierre shale underlies the site at approximate depths of
20 to 25 feet below the surface. The bedrock is overlain by alluvials sands and clays of
Pleistocene and/or Recent Age.
Mapping completed by the Colorado Geological Survey ('Hart, 1972), indicates the site in an
area of "Moderate Swell Potential". Potentially expansive materials mapped in this area
include bedrock, weathered bedrock and colluvium (surficial units).
Soil and Bedrock Conditions
The majority of the site is overlain by a 6-inch layer of silty topsoil which has been.
penetrated by root growth and organic matter. A 6-inch layer of fill material was
encountered at the surface of Boring 12. The fill consists of sandy lean clay which is moist
and stiff. The topsoil and fill are underlain by lean clay with sand and sandy lean clay which

extends to the depths explored and/or to the silty sand with gravel stratum below. A lower
clay stratum was encountered below the sand in Boring 18 at a depth of 14% feet. The
clays are generally moist to wet and soft to hard in consistency. Silty sand with gravel that
varies to a silty clayey sand was encountered in the majority of the borings at depths of 7 to
14 feet and extends beyond the depths explored. The silty sand is moist to wet and very
loose to medium dense.
Field and Laboratory Test Results
Field and laboratory test results indicate that the clay soils exhibit low to moderate swell
potential and moderate bearing characteristics. The granular soils are nonexpansive and
exhibit moderate bearing characteristics.
Groundwater Conditions
Groundwater was encountered in the majority of the borings at approximate depths of 10 to
13% feet at the time of field exploration. Borings 3, 12, 13, 14 and 19 through 24 were dry
at the time of drilling. When checked 3 to 5 days after drilling, groundwater was measured
at approximate depths of 9 to 14 feet in all test borings. These observations represent
groundwater conditions at the time of the field exploration, and may not be indicative of other
times, or at other locations. Groundwater levels can be expected to fluctuate with varying
seasonal and weather conditions.
Based upon review of U.S. Geological Survey maps (2Hillier, et al, 1983), regional
groundwater is expected to be encountered in unconsolidated alluvial deposits on the site, at
depths ranging from 10 to 20 feet below the existing ground surface at the project site.
The possibility of groundwater fluctuations should be considered when developing design
and construction plans for the project. Fluctuations in groundwater levels can best be
determined by implementation of a groundwater monitoring plan. Such a plan would include
installation of groundwater monitoring wells, and periodic measurement of groundwater
levels over a sufficient period of time.

ENGINEERING ANALYSES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Geotechnical Considerations
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction from a geotechnical engineering
point of view. Potentially expansive soils will require particular attention in the design and
construction.
The following foundation systems were evaluated for use on the site:
o spread footings and/or grade beams bearing on undisturbed soils; and,
spread footings and/or grade beams bearing on engineered fill.
Conventional slab-on-grade construction is considered acceptable at the site provided the
recommendations set forth in this report are followed.
Foundation Systems
Due to the presence of low- to moderate-swelling soils on the site, spread footing
foundations bearing upon undisturbed subsoils and/or engineered fill are recommended for
support for the proposed structures. The footings may be designed for a maximum bearing
pressure of 1,500 psf. In addition, the footings should be sized to maintain a minimum
dead-load pressure of 500 psf. The design bearing pressure applies to dead loads plus
design live load conditions. The design bearing pressure may be increased by one-third
when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions.
Existing fill on the site should not be used for support of foundations without removal and
recompaction.
Exterior footings should be placed a minimum of 30 inches below finished grade for frost
protection and to provide confinement for the bearing soils. Finished grade is the lowest
adjacent grade for perimeter footings.
Footings should be proportioned to reduce differential foundation movement. Proportioning
on the basis of equal total settlement is recommended; however, proportioning to relative
constant dead-load pressure will also reduce differential settlement between adjacent
footings. Total settlement resulting from the assumed structural loads is estimated to be on
6
h
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
the order of 3/4 inch or less. Differential settlement should be on the order of 1/2 to 3/4 of
the estimated total settlement. Additional foundation movements could occur if water from
any source infiltrates the foundation soils; therefore, proper drainage should be provided in
the final design and during construction.
Reinforced concrete foundations, cast-in excavations against undisturbed subsoils or
properly backfilled are recommended for resistance to uplift. The equation for determining
the ultimate uplift capacity as a function of footing foundation dimension, foundation depth,
and soil weight is presented below:
T"=.9xy xD2x(B +L) + W
Where: T"= Ultimate uplift capacity (Ibs)
y = Unit weight of soil (lbs/ft3)*
D= Depth to base of footing foundation below final grade (ft)
B= Width of footing foundation (ft)
L = Length of footing foundation (ft)
W= Weight of footing +weight of soil directly over the top of the
footing/block(lbs)
A unit weight (y) of 120 pcf is recommended for soil (either
undisturbed or compacted backfill) at this site.
The design uplift resistance should be calculated by dividing the ultimate resistance obtained
from the equation above by an appropriate factor of safety. A factor of safety of at least 2 is
recommended for live uplift loads in the analysis.
Foundations and masonry walls should be reinforced as necessary to reduce the potential
for distress caused by differential foundation movement. The use of joints at openings or
other discontinuities in masonry walls is recommended.
Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer. If the soil
conditions encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report supplemental
recommendations will be required.

Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
Lateral Earth Pressures
For soils above any free water surface, recommended equivalent fluid pressures for
unrestrained foundation elements are:
Active:
Cohesive soil backfill (on-site clay) 45 psf/ft
Passive:
Cohesive soil backfill (on-site clay) .,.. ...... ......... ............300 psf/ft
Adhesion at base of footing 500 psf
Where the design includes restrained elements, the following equivalent fluid pressures are
recommended:
At rest:
Cohesive soil backfill (on-site clay) 60 psf/ft
The lateral earth pressures herein do not include any factor of safety and are not applicable
for submerged soils/hydrostatic loading. Additional recommendations may be necessary if
submerged conditions are to be included in the design.
Fill against grade beams and retaining walls should be compacted to densities specified in
Earthwork. High plasticity clay soils should not be used as backfill against retaining walls.
Compaction of each lift adjacent to walls should be accomplished with hand-operated
tampers or other lightweight compactors. Overcompaction may cause excessive lateral
earth pressures which could result in wall movement.
Retaining Wall Drainage
To reduce hydrostatic loading on retaining walls, a subsurface drain system should be
placed behind the wall. The drain system should consist of free-draining granular soils
containing less than five percent fines (by weight) passing a No. 200 sieve placed adjacent
to the wall. The free-draining granular material should be graded to prevent the intrusion of
fines or encapsulated in a suitable filter fabric. A drainage system consisting of either weep
holes or perforated drain lines (placed near the base of the wall) should be used to intercept
8
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
and discharge water which would tend to saturate the backfill. Where used, drain lines
should be embedded in a uniformly graded filter material and provided with adequate clean-
outs for periodic maintenance. An impervious soil should be used in the upper layer of
backfill to reduce the potential for water 'infiltration. As an alternative, a prefabricated
drainage structure, such as geocomposite, may be used as a substitute for the granular
backfill adjacent to the wall.
Seismic Considerations
The project site is located in Seismic Risk Zone I of the Seismic Zone Map of the United
States as indicated by the 1997 Uniform Building Code. Based upon the nature of the
subsurface materials, a soil profile type Sc should be used for the design of structures for the
proposed project (1997 Uniform Building Code, Table No. 16-J).
Floor Slab Design and Construction
Some differential movement of a slab-on-grade floor system is possible should the subgrade
soils become elevated in moisture content. To reduce potential slab movements, the
subgrade soils should be prepared as outlined in the earthwork section of this report.
For structural design of concrete slabs-on-grade, a modulus of subgrade reaction of 100
pounds per cubic inch (pci) may be used for floors supported on existing or engineered fill
consisting of on-site soils. A modulus of 200 pci may be used for floors supported on non-
expansive imported fill meeting the specifications outlined below.
Additional floor slab design and construction recommendations are as follows:
Positive separations and/or isolation joints should be provided between slabs
and all foundations, columns or utility lines to allow independent movement.
Control joints should be provided in slabs to control the location and extent of
cracking.
Interior trench backfill placed beneath slabs should be compacted in
accordance with recommended specifications outlined below.
9
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
In areas subjected to normal loading, a minimum 4-inch layer of clean-graded
gravel or aggregate base course should be placed beneath interior slabs. For
heavy loading, 6 inches of aggregate base course should be used.
If moisture sensitive floor coverings are used on interior slabs, consideration
should be given to the use of barriers to minimize potential vapor rise through
the slab.
Floor slabs should not be constructed on frozen subgrade.
Other design and construction considerations, as outlined in the ACI Design
Manual, Section 302.1 R are recommended.
Pavement Design and Construction
The required total thickness for the pavement structure is dependent primarily upon the
foundation soil or subgrade and upon traffic conditions. Based on the soil conditions
encountered at the site, the anticipated type and volume of traffic and using a group index of
13 as the criterion for pavement design, the following minimum pavement thicknesses are
recommended:
Recommended Pavement Thicknesses(Inches)
Traffic Area ;: Alternative.;: Asphalt Aggregate Plant Mixed Portland
Concrete Base Bituminous Cement
Surface Course Base Concrete Total
Automobile A 3 5 8
Parking
B 2 3 5
C 5 5
Main Traffic A 3 10 13
Corridors
B 2 4% 6%
C 6 6
10
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
Each alternative should be investigated with respect to current material availability and
economic conditions. Rigid concrete pavement, a minimum of 6 inches in thickness, is
recommended at the location of dumpsters where trash trucks park and load.
Aggregate base course (if used on the site) should consist of a blend of sand and gravel
which meets strict specifications for quality and gradation. Use of materials meeting
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Class 5 or 6 specifications is recommended
for base course. Aggregate base course should be placed in lifts not exceeding six inches
and should be compacted to a minimum of 95% Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698).
Asphalt concrete and/or plant-mixed bituminous base course should be composed of a
mixture of aggregate, filler and additives, if required, and approved bituminous material. The
bituminous base and/or asphalt concrete should conform to approved mix designs stating
the Hveem properties, optimum asphalt content, job mix formula and recommended mixing
and placing temperatures. Aggregate used in plant-mixed bituminous base course and/or
asphalt concrete should meet particular gradations. Material meeting Colorado Department.
of Transportation Grading C or CX specification is recommended for asphalt concrete.
Aggregate meeting Colorado Department of Transportation Grading G or C specifications is
recommended for plant-mixed bituminous base course. Mix designs should be submitted
prior to construction to verify their adequacy. Asphalt material should be placed in maximum
3-inch lifts and should be compacted to a minimum of 95% Hveem density (ASTM D1560)
ASTM D1561).
Where rigid pavements are used, the concrete should be obtained from an approved mix
design with the following minimum properties:
Modulus of Rupture @ 28 days 600 psi minimum
Strength Requirements ASTM C94
Minimum Cement Content ....................... 6.5 sacks/cu. yd.
Cement Type Type I Portland
Entrained Air Content 4 to 8%
Concrete Aggregate ASTM C33 and CDOT Section 703
Aggregate Size 1 inch maximum
Maximum Water Content......... ........ 0.49 lb/lb of cement
11
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
Maximum Allowable Slump 4 inches
Concrete should be deposited by truck mixers or agitators and placed a maximum of 90
minutes from the time the water is added to the mix. Other specifications outlined by the
Colorado Department of Transportation should be followed.
Longitudinal and transverse joints should be provided as needed in concrete pavements for
expansion/contraction and isolation. The location and extent of joints should be based upon
the final pavement geometry and should be placed (in feet) at roughly twice the slab
thickness (in inches) on center in either direction. Sawed joints should be cut within 24-
hours of concrete placement, and should be a minimum of 25% of slab thickness plus 1/4
inch. All joints should be sealed to prevent entry of foreign material and dowelled where
necessary for load transfer.
Future performance of pavements constructed on the clay soils at this site will be dependent
upon several factors, including:
maintaining stable moisture content of the subgrade soils; and,
providing for a planned. program of preventative maintenance.
Since the clay soils on the site have shrink/swell characteristics, pavements could crack in
the future primarily because of expansion of the soils when subjected to an increase in
moisture content to the subgrade. The cracking, while not desirable, does not necessarily
constitute structural failure of the pavement.
The performance of all pavements can be enhanced by minimizing excess moisture which
can reach the subgrade soils. The following recommendations should be considered at
minimum:
Site grading at a minimum 2% grade away from the pavements;
Compaction of any utility trenches for landscaped areas to the same criteria
as the pavement subgrade;
Sealing all landscaped areas in, or adjacent to pavements to minimize or
prevent moisture migration to subgrade soils;
12
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
Placing compacted backfill against the exterior side of curb and gutter; and,
Placing curb, gutter and/or sidewalk directly on subgrade soils without the use
of base course materials.
Preventative maintenance should be planned and provided for through an on-going
pavement management program in order to enhance future pavement performance.
Preventative maintenance activities are intended to slow the rate of pavement deterioration,
and to preserve the pavement investment.
Preventative maintenance consists of both localized maintenance (e.g. crack sealing and
patching) and global maintenance (e.g. surface sealing). Preventative maintenance is
usually the first priority when implementing a planned pavement maintenance program and
provides the highest return on investment for pavements.
Recommended preventative maintenance policies for asphalt and jointed concrete
pavements, based upon type and severity of distress, are provided. Prior to implementing
any maintenance, additional engineering observation is recommended to determine the type
and extent of preventative maintenance.
Earthwork
General Considerations
The following presents recommendations for site preparation, excavation, subgrade
preparation and placement of engineered fills on the project.
All earthwork on the project should be observed and evaluated by Terracon. The
evaluation of earthwork should include observation and testing of engineered fill,
subgrade preparation, foundation bearing soils, and other geotechnical conditions
exposed during the construction of the project.
13
1
Geotechnical Engineering Report
Dial Companies
Terracon Project No. 20985216
Site Preparation
Strip and remove existing vegetation, debris, and other deleterious materials from
proposed building and pavement areas. All exposed surfaces should be free of
mounds and depressions which could prevent uniform compaction.
Stripped materials consisting of vegetation and organic materials should be wasted
from the site, or used to revegetate landscaped areas or exposed slopes after
completion of grading operations.
The site should be initially graded to create a relatively level surface to receive fill,
and to provide for a relatively uniform thickness of fill beneath proposed building
structures.
All exposed areas which will receive fill, once properly cleared and benched where
necessary, should be scarified to a minimum depth of eight inches, conditioned to
near optimum moisture content, and compacted.
Although evidence of fills or underground facilities such as septic tanks, cesspools,
basements, and utilities was not observed during the site reconnaissance, such
features could be encountered during construction. If unexpected fills or
underground facilities are encountered, such features should be removed and the
excavation thoroughly cleaned prior to backfill placement and/or construction.
It is anticipated that excavations for the proposed construction can be accomplished
with conventional earthmoving equipment.
Depending upon depth of excavation and seasonal conditions, groundwater may be
encountered in excavations on the site. Pumping from sumps may be utilized to
control water within excavations.
Based upon the subsurface conditions determined from the geotechnical exploration,
subgrade soils exposed during construction are anticipated to be relatively stable.
However, the stability of the subgrade may be affected by precipitation, repetitive
construction traffic or other factors. If unstable conditions develop, workability may
be improved by scarifying and drying. Overexcavation of wet zones and replacement
with granular materials may be necessary. Use of lime, fly ash, kiln dust, cement or
14

Terracon Project No. 20985216
geotextiles could also be. considered as a stabilization technique. Laboratory
evaluation is recommended to determine the effect of chemical stabilization on
subgrade soils prior to construction. Lightweight excavation equipment may be
required to reduce subgrade pumping.
The individual contractor(s) is responsible for designing and constructing stable,
temporary excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides
and bottom. All excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety
following local, and federal regulations, including current OSHA excavation and
trench safety standards.
Subgrade Preparation
Subgrade soils beneath interior and exterior slabs, and beneath pavements should
be scarified, moisture conditioned and compacted to a minimum depth of 8 inches.
The moisture content and compaction of subgrade soils should be maintained until
slab or pavement construction.
Fill Materials and Placement
Clean on-site soils or approved imported materials may be used as fill material.
On-site soils are not recommended for use as compacted fill beneath interior or
exterior floor slabs.
Imported soils (if required) should conform to the following:
Percent fines by weight
Gradation ASTM C136)
6.,100
3., 70-100
No. 4 Sieve 50-100
No. 200 Sieve 70 (max)

Engineered fill should be placed and compacted in horizontal lifts, using equipment
and procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities
throughout the lift. Recommended compaction criteria for engineered fill materials are
as follows:
Minimum Percent
Material ASTM D698)
Scarified subgrade soils.... .................. ...............95
On-site and imported fill soils:
Beneath foundations 95
Beneath slabs 95.
Beneath pavements 95
Aggregate base(beneath slabs) 95
Miscellaneous backfill (non-structural areas) .................... 90
On-site or imported clay soils should be compacted within a moisture content range
of 2 percent below, to 2 percent above optimum. Imported granular soils should be
compacted within a moisture range of 3 percent below to 3 percent above optimum
unless modified by the project geotechnical engineer.
Shrinkage
For balancing grading plans, estimated shrink or swell of soils and bedrock when
used as compacted fill following recommendations in this report are as follows:

Terracon Project No. 20985216
Excavation and Trench Construction
Excavations into the on-site soils will encounter a variety of conditions. Excavations
into the clays can be expected to stand on relatively steep temporary slopes during
construction. However, caving soils may also be encountered. The individual
contractor(s) should be made responsible for designing and constructing stable,
temporary excavations as required to maintain stability of both the excavation sides
and bottom. All excavations should be sloped or shored in the interest of safety
following local, and federal regulations, including current OSHA excavation and
trench safety standards.
The soils to be penetrated by the proposed excavations may vary significantly across
the site. The preliminary soil classifications are based solely on the materials
encountered in widely spaced exploratory test borings. The contractor should verify
that similar conditions exist throughout the proposed area of excavation. If different
subsurface conditions are encountered at the time of construction, the actual
conditions should be evaluated to determine any excavation modifications necessary
to maintain safe conditions.
As a safety measure, it is recommended that all vehicles and soil piles be kept to a
minimum lateral distance from the crest of the slope equal to no less than the slope
height. The exposed slope face should be protected against the elements.
Additional Design and Construction Considerations
Exterior Slab Design and Construction
Exterior slabs-on-grade, exterior architectural features, and utilities founded on, or in
backfill may experience some movement due to the volume change of the backfill.
Potential movement could be reduced by:
minimizing moisture increases in the backfill
o controlling moisture-density during placement of backfill
using designs which allow vertical movement between the exterior features
and adjoining structural elements
placing effective control joints on relatively close centers

Terracon Project No. 20985216
Underground Utility Systems
All piping should be adequately bedded for proper load distribution. It is suggested
that clean, graded gravel compacted to 75 percent of Relative Density ASTM D4253
be used as bedding. Where utilities are excavated below groundwater, temporary
dewatering will be required during excavation, pipe placement and backfilling
operations for proper construction. Utility trenches should be excavated on safe and
stable slopes in accordance with OSHA regulations as discussed above. Backfill
should consist of the on-site soils or imported material approved by the geotechnical
engineer. The pipe backfill should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of
Standard Proctor Density ASTM D698.
Corrosion Protection
Results of soluble sulfate testing indicate that ASTM Type I Portland cement is
suitable for all concrete on and below grade. However, if there is no, or minimal cost
differential, use of ASTM Type II Portland cement is recommended for additional
sulfate resistance of construction concrete. Foundation concrete should be designed
in accordance with the provisions of the ACI Design Manual, Section 318, Chapter 4.
Surface Drainage
Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout
the life of the proposed project. Infiltration of water into utility or foundation
excavations must be prevented during construction. Planters and other surface
features which could retain water in areas adjacent to the building or pavements
should be sealed or eliminated. In areas where sidewalks or paving do not
immediately adjoin the structure, we recommend that protective slopes be provided
with a minimum grade of approximately 5 percent for at least 10 feet from perimeter
walls. Backfill against footings, exterior walls, and in utility and sprinkler line trenches
should be well compacted and free of all construction debris to reduce the possibility
of moisture infiltration.
Downspouts, roof drains or scuppers should discharge into splash blocks or
extensions when the ground surface beneath such features is not protected by
exterior slabs or paving. Sprinkler systems should not be installed within 5 feet of

minimized or eliminated.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Terracon should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments
can be made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical
recommendations in the design and specifications. Terracon also should be retained to
provide testing and observation during excavation, grading, foundation and construction
phases of the project.
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data
obtained from the borings performed at the indicated locations and from other information
discussed in this report. This report does not reflect variations which may occur between
borings or across the site. The nature and extent of such variations may not become
evident until construction. If variations appear, it will be necessary to reevaluate the
recommendations of this report.
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication
any environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous
materials or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such
contamination, other studies should be undertaken.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of our client for specific application to
the project discussed and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practices. No warranties, either express or implied, are intended
or made. In the event that changes in the nature, design, or location of the project as
outlined in this report, are planned, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this
report shall not be considered valid unless Terracon reviews the changes, and either verifies
or modifies the conclusions of this report in writing.

Water levels indicated on the boring logs are the levels measured in the borings at the time indicated. In pervious
soils, the indicated levels may reflect the location of groundwater. In low permeability soils, the accurate
determination of groundwater levels is not possible with only short term observations.
DESCRIPTIVE SOIL CLASSIFICATION:
Soil Classification is based on the Unified Soil Classification system and the ASTM Designations D-2487 and D-
2488. Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described
as: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200
sieve; they are described as clays, if they are plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major
constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions
based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse grained soils are defined on the basis of their relative in-place
density and fine grained soils on the basis of their consistency. Example: Lean clay with sand, trace gravel, stiff
CL); silty sand, trace gravel, medium dense (SM).
