SCOPE
This report presents the results of our soils and foundation investigation
for the proposed addition to the administrative building at The Farm at Lee
Martinez Park in Fort Collins, Colorado. We were retained to investigate the
subsurface conditions at the addition site and to recommend geotechnical design
criteria for design and construction of the addition.
Included in this report are descriptions of the subsurface conditions found
in our borings, our characterization of the engineering properties of the subsoils,
a recommended foundation type(s) for the addition, and other design and
construction details influenced by the subsoils. Our opinions are summarized in
the following paragraphs. More complete descriptions of the subsurface
conditions, results of our field and laboratory investigations and our opinions,
conclusions and recommendations are included in the subsequent sections of
this report.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1. We drilled two borings for the proposed addition. One boring (TH-1)
penetrated 4.5 feet of loose to medium dense, clayey sands over 6
feet of dense, gravelly sands underlain by hard to very hard,
claystone bedrock at 10.5 feet. The second boring (TH-2) penetrated
3 feet of medium dense, clayey sands over 4 feet of stiff, sandy clays
over 2.5 feet of dense, gravelly sands over 2.5 feet of firm, claystone
bedrock underlain by very hard claystone bedrock at 12 feet. The
bedrock was harder at depth. Ground water was not encountered
when the borings were drilled.
2. In our opinion, the addition to the administration building can be
founded on spread footings bearing on the undisturbed natural soils
below frost depth. Design criteria are included in this report.
3. The natural soils or non -swelling structural fill can be the subgrade
for a slab -on -grade floor.

SITE CONDITIONS
The Farm is an agricultural learning center operated by the City of Fort
Collins with various outbuildings and animal pens designed to simulate an
operational farm. It is located in the southwest corner of Lee Martinez Park in the
northern part of Fort Collins, Colorado. The park is bordered on the north and
east by the Poudre River and much of the park is located in the flood plain of the
river. The Farm is located at a higher elevation than the rest of the park.
The proposed addition will be added to the north side of the existing
administration building at the northwest corner of the parking lot. The existing
building is a single story wood framed structure with exterior wood siding.
Currently the location of the proposed addition is a grassy area with assorted
shrubs and trees. The surrounding area has been developed with sidewalks,
grassy areas and other buildings.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed office addition will be a one story, wood -frame structure with
exterior wood siding. It will be added to the north side of the existing building and
will include a small ticket office on the east side. At this time the proposed
addition is not expected to have a basement. We have assumed for our analysis
the ground floor of the building will be constructed at the same elevation as the
ground floor of the existing building. We understand that the maximum wall loads
are expected to be 800 pounds per linear foot of wall and the maximum column
loads will be 7 kips. The building may have either a slab -on -grade floor or a
structural floor over a crawl space.
INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation was drilling two borings, TH-1 and TH-2, to 20 feet
and 35 feet deep respectively, in the area of the proposed addition. Locations of
our exploratory borings are shown on Figure 1, attached. The borings were
advanced using 4-inch diameter continuous flight power auger and a truck -

mounted rig. Drive samples were taken at intervals as the borings were advanced
with a California drive sampler. Summary logs of our borings are on Figure 2,
attached.
The samples were returned to our laboratory for testing. The samples were
classified by a geotechnicai engineer. Samples were selected and tested for
moisture content, dry density, swell/consolidation and water-soluble sulfates.
Laboratory test results are shown on Figure 3 and are summarized in Table I,
attached.
SUBSURFACE
We drilled two borings for the proposed addition. One boring (TH-1)
penetrated 4.5 feet of loose to medium dense, clayey sands over 6 feet of dense,
gravelly sands underlain by hard to very hard, claystone bedrock at 10.5 feet. The
second boring (TH-2) penetrated 3 feet of medium dense, clayey sands over 4 feet
of stiff, sandy clays over 2.5 feet of dense, gravelly sands over 2.5 feet of firm,
claystone bedrock underlain by very hard, claystone bedrock at 12 feet. The
bedrock was harder at depth. Ground water was not encountered when the
borings were drilled.
FOUNDATIONS
We have considered several type foundations for founding the office
addition, including footings bearing on the natural ground and straight -shaft
drilled piers into the claystone bedrock. In our opinion, spread footings are a
feasible foundation alternative and considerably less costly than piers. For this
reason we have not discussed straight -shaft drilled piers further in this report.
We can provide geotechnicai design criteria for straight -shaft drilled piers, if
requested. We recommend the following criteria for the design of spread
footings.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS OPERATION SERVICES
ADDITION TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 3
THE FARM AT LEE MARTINEZ PARK
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03527-125
IF
1. Footings bearing on undisturbed natural soils. Where soil is
loosened during excavation it should be removed and replaced with
engineered fill constructed of on -site soils or similar off -site soils,
that have a maximum size of 4 inches and that is placed in 8-inch
maximum loose lifts at 2 percent below to 2 percent above optimum
moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard
maximum dry density (ASTM D 698).
2. Footings bearing on the natural soils and/or engineered fill can be
designed for a maximum soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf.
3. Footings should have a minimum width of at least 16 inches.
Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum dimensions
of 20 inches by 20 inches. Larger sizes may be required depending
on load and the structural system used.
4. Exterior footings should be protected from frost action. We believe
30 inches of frost cover is appropriate for this site.
5. Foundation walls for continuous footings should be well reinforced
both top and bottom. We recommend the amount of steel equivalent
to that required for a simply supported span of 10 feet. The soil
bearing pressure can be increased 30 percent for short duration live
loads such as wind loads.
6. Completed footing excavations should be inspected by a
representative of our firm to confirm that the soils are as we
anticipated from our borings. Occasional loose soils may be found
in foundation excavations. If this occurs, we recommend the loose
soils be treated as discussed in Item 1 above.
SLAB -ON -GRADE FLOOR
We have assumed that the finished ground floor elevation will be the same
as the ground floor elevation of the existing building. If a slab -on -grade floor is
selected, it will likely be necessary to place engineered fill inside the foundation
walls to achieve the desired subgrade elevation.
In our opinion, the on -site soils or similar non -expansive off -site soils free
of organic matter or other deleterious materials can be used to construct the
engineered fill under the floor. Engineered fill under the addition floor
constructed of the on -site soils or similar off -site soils should have a maximum

Ir
size of 4 inches and should be placed in 8-inch maximum loose lifts at 2 percent
below to 2 percent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95
percent of standard maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). Prior to placing fill, all
vegetation should be cleared from the surface of the natural ground. We suggest
the following recommendations for slab -on -grade, ground floor construction:
1. Slabs should be separated from exterior walls and interior bearing
members with a slip joint that allows free vertical movement of the
slab. Utilities, which pass through the slab, should be isolated from
the slab. Interior partitions should be designed to prevent the
transmission of slab movement to the building frame and interior
walls.
2. A vapor retarder can be placed under the slab -on -grade floor. If the
floor slab is placed directly on the ground, we recommend a plastic
sheet on the ground and the vapor retarder on the plastic sheet with
the concrete placed on top of the vapor retarder. If a capillary rise
"break" is desired we recommend a plastic sheet on the ground, 4-
inch thick free -draining, reasonably well -graded sand or sand and
gravel on the plastic sheet, the vapor retarder on the sand or sand
and gravel with the concrete placed on top of the vapor retarder.
3. Exterior concrete flatwork should be separated from the building.
This concrete should be reinforced to function independent of the
building. Movement of exterior slabs should not be transmitted to
the foundations. Frequent control joints should be provided in the
slab to reduce problems associated with shrinkage. The American
Concrete Institute (ACI) recommendations should be followed.
STRUCTURAL FLOOR
If a structural floor is used over a crawl space, there are design and
construction issues, such as ventilation and lateral loads, that must be
considered.
Crawl space walls should be designed for lateral earth pressures. Many
factors affect the value of the design lateral earth pressure. These factors include,
but are not limited to, the type, compaction, slope and drainage of the backfill, and
the rigidity of the wall against rotation and deflection. For a very rigid wall where
negligible or very little deflection will occur, an "at -rest" lateral earth pressure
CITY OF FORT COLLINS OPERATION SERVICES
ADDITION TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 5
THE FARM AT LEE MARTINEZ PARK
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03527-125
Ir
should be used in design. For walls that can deflect or rotate 0.5 to 1 percent of
the wall height (depending upon the backfill types), lower "active" lateral earth
pressures are appropriate. Our experience indicates basement walls can deflect
or rotate slightly under normal design loads, and that this deflection results in
satisfactory wall performance. Thus, the earth pressure on the walls will likely be
between the "active" and "at -rest" conditions.
If on -site soils are used as backfill and the backfill is not saturated, we
recommend design of basement walls for the primary care building using an
equivalent fluid density of at least 45 pcf. These values assume deflection; some
minor cracking of walls may occur. If very little wall deflection is desired, higher
design density may be appropriate. Recent experience indicates for similar
subsoils, most basement walls designed with 45 pcf to 50 pcf equivalent fluid
density have performed satisfactorily. We understand recent designs and some
local building code changes have resulted in enhancements including two-way
reinforcement (a mat of steel) in basement walls or other measures, such as
thicker walls. We believe the recent enhancements will improve foundation wall
performance compared to historical practice. The structural engineer should also
consider site -specific grade restrictions and the effects of large openings on the
behavior of the walls.
The required air space depends on the materials used to construct the
floor. Building codes require a clear space of 18 inches above exposed earth if
untreated wood floor components are used. Where other floor support materials
are used, a minimum clear space of 6 inches should be maintained. This
minimum clear space should be maintained between any point on the underside
of the floor system (including beams and floor drain traps) and the surface of the
exposed earth. Utility connections, including water, gas, air duct and exhaust
stack connections to floor supported appliances, should be capable of absorbing
some deflection of the floor. Plumbing that passes through the floor should
ideally be hung from the underside of the structural floor and not laid on the
bottom of the excavation. This configuration may not be achievable for some
CITY OF FORT COLLINS OPERATION SERVICES
ADDITION TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 6
THE FARM AT LEE MARTINEZ PARK
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03527-125
parts of the installation. It is prudent to maintain the minimum clear space below
all plumbing lines
Control of humidity in crawl spaces is Important for indoor air quality and
performance of wood floor systems. Our scope for this project did not include
providing recommendations to control humidity. Nevertheless, since we are
involved in this type of work we feel we should comment. We believe the best
current practices to control humidity involve the use of a vapor retarder (10 mil
minimum), placed on the exposed soils below accessible sub -floor areas. The
vapor retarder should be sealed at joints and attached to concrete foundation
elements. If desired, we can provide designs for ventilation systems that can be
installed in association with a vapor retarder, to improve control of humidity in
crawl space areas.
WATER SOLUBLE SULFATES
We measured water-soluble sulfate concentrations in a sample of soil from
the building area of 0.02 percent (Table 1). According to the Portland Cement
Association criteria, Type I cement can be used in concrete exposed to the
foundation soils.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Wetting of foundation soils always causes some degree of volume change
in soils and should be prevented during and after construction. The risk of
wetting the foundation soils can be reduced by planned and maintained surface
grading. We recommend the following precautions be observed during
construction, and that they be maintained at all times after completion of the
addition:
1. Prevent surface water from flowing into footing excavations during
construction.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS OPERATION SERVICES
ADDITION TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 7
THE FARM AT LEE MARTINEZ PARK
CTL I T PROJECT NO. PC03527.126
U
2. The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the addition should
be sloped to drain away from the addition in all directions.
3. Backfill around foundation walls should be on -site soils placed in
thin lifts, moisture conditioned to 2 percent below to 2 percent
above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 90
percent of standard maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). All backfili
that supports pavement or sidewalks should be compacted to at
least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D
698).
4. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the
limits of all backfill. We recommend providing splash blocks at all
downspout locations. Concrete swales can be used to convey
concentrated water flows through paved areas to drains and gutters.
LIMITATIONS
Although our borings were spaced to obtain a reasonably accurate picture
of subsurface conditions, variations in the subsoils not indicated in our borings
are always possible. We should inspect footing excavations to confirm soils are
as we anticipated from our borings
This report was prepared from data developed during our field exploration,
laboratory testing, engineering analysis and experience with similar conditions.
The recommendations contained in this report were based upon our
understanding of the planned construction. If plans change or differ from the
assumptions presented herein, we should be contacted to review our
recommendations.
We believe this investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with
that level of skill and care ordinarily used by members of the profession currently
practicing under similar conditions in the locality of this project. No warranty,
express or implied, is made.
