Gentlemen:
This letter has been written in order to confirm that we have
observed and tested the earthwork performed to da te at the
proposed Atiya residence located at 1589 San Elijo Drive in
Encinitas, California. In addition, we have observed the
subdrains behind the retaining walls which have been constructed
at the site. The work which has been performed to date has been
done basically in conformance with our recommendations.
Additions to the subdrain system and relatively minor backfills
remain to be made. A comprehensive report pertaining to the
services we have provided is currently being prepared and will be
submitted upon completion. This report will include the results
of in-place density tests performed ôt the site and a summary of
our observations.
If you should have any questions after reviewing this report,
please do not hesitate to contact this office. This opportunity
to be of professional service is sincerely appreciated.

This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for a
proposed residence to be located 1589 San Elijo Drive in the City of
Encinitas, California. The site location is illustrated on the following
Figure Number 1.
~
,
It is our W1derstanding that the site will be developed to receive a one and
two-story, split-level residence. The structure will be of ~-fraIœ and
nasonry construction. Shallow foundations and a conventional slab-on-grade
floor syst€!1T5 are anticipated. Grading will consist of cuts and fills up to
approximately l3 feet and three feet in depth. Cut slopes up to
approximately five feet in height at a 2:1 (horizontal to vertical)
inclination are also proposed.
To assist in the preparation of this report, we were provided with a site
plan prepared by Greg Watts, dated O::tober lO, 1989. The site configuration,
topography, and approx.im3.te location of our subsurface explorations are
shown on Plate Nuni:>er 1 of this report.

The property is located approxim3.tely 111 feet east of San Elijo Avenue with
access via a concrete paved road easerrent which enters the northvæst corner
of the site. The property is bounded on the north, east, and south by
residential and apartment structures and on the west by an apartment
structure under construction.
The property slopes gently to mxierately to the w:!st with elevations ranging
from lOG feet KSL to 118 MSL. Stockpiled fill soils have been placed near
the center of the lot. A temporary, steep fill slope a naxim..un of five feet

GEX1UJGIC ~t;l.l.llG AND son. DESCRIPTIœ5: The project site is located in the
Coastal Plains Physiographic Province of San Diego County and is underlain
by Tertiary-age and Quaternary-age sed.i.rœnts , assoc iated topsoils, and
artificial fill.
The site is overlain with approxim3.tely two to three feet of topsoils which
consist of dark brown, loose, silty sands. The topsoils are underlain by
terrace deposits, consisting of dark red. brown, rœclium dense to dense, silty
sands. The terrace deposits are underlain by Tertiary-age Delrrar Formation.
The Delmar Fonnation was encountered. in Trenches Number 1 and 2 at a depth
of approxinately eight feet and nine feet below the existing ground surface,
respectively.

, .
.
Groundwater was encountered in Tr'f:!nch Number 1 at the terrace/fonnational
contact. Saturated soil was observed in Trench Number 2 at the contact.
Uncompacted fill has been placed along the ~stern edge of the property. In
addition, a relatively large stockpile of fill is located near the center of
the lot. The fills appear to be cooprised of the typical on-site topsoils
and terrace materials.
GRŒJNI::MATER: Groundwater and saturated soil conditions ~re observed in
Trenches Nunber 1 and 2 at a depth of approximately eight feet below the
existing grade. This is an area where cut slopes up to 13 feet in height are
proposed. Due to the presence of the groundwater and the p:x:>r cohesion of
the terrace materials, caving may present a problem during construction of
these slopes. RecOl11œndations to deal with these conditions are presented in
the Conclusions and Recomrendations section of this report.

"In:luŒC :sr;!.r.u(;: It should be noted that much of Southern California,
including the San Diego County area, is characterized by a series of
Quaternary-age fault zones which typical! y consist of several individual, en
echelon faults that generally strike in a northerly to northwesterly
direction. SoIœ of these fault zones (and the individual faults within the
zones) are classified as active while others are classified as only
potentially active according to the criteria of the California Division of
Mines and Geology. Active fault zones are those which have shown conclusive
evidence of faul ting during the Holocene Epoch (the TIDst recent 11,000
years) while potential! y active faul t zones have derronstrated rroverœnt
during the Pleistocene Epoch (1l,000 to 2 million years before the present)
but no troV'E!J'œnt during Holocene TiIœ.

The Rose Canyon Fault Zone is located approximate! y four miles west of the
site. Other fault zones in the region that could possibly affect the site
include the Coronado Banks and San Clerœnte Fault Zones to the west and the
Elsinore and San Jacinto Fault Zones to the northeast.

GroI1X;I C HAZARœ
GENERAL: The site is located in area which is relatively free of [X)tential
geologic hazards. Hazards such as tsunami, seiches, liquefaction or
landsliding should be considered negligible or nonexistent.
~: One of the ITDst likely geologic hazards to affect the site is
groundshaking as a result of JTOVeIœnt along one of the najor, active fault
zones rrentioned al:xJve. The naxi.mum bedrock accelerations that could be
attributed to a maximum probable earthquake occurring along the nearest
[X)rtion of selected fault zones that could affect the site are sunmarized in
the following Table I.
TABŒ I
Maximum Probable Bedroc k Design
¡: Fault Zone Distance Earthquake Acceleration Acceleration
Rose Canyon 4 miles 6.5 nagnitude 0.52 g 0.35 g
. ' Coronado Banks 15 miles 7.0 nagnitude 0.25 g 0.17 g
Elsinore 30 miles 7.3 nagnitude 0.17 g 0.12 g
San Cle.rœnte 50 miles 7.8 nagnitude 0.l2 g 0.08 g
Earthquakes on the Rose Canyon Fault Zone are expected to be relatively
minor. Major seismic events are likely to be the result of ITDVem:mt along
the Coronado Banks, Elsinore, or San Jacinto Fault Zones.
In addition, we have analyzed the fault zones which could affect the San
Diego County area in order to determine the probability of groundshaking of
any given level. The individual faults and different fault zones have slip
rates which have been calculated to range frcm very low to very high rates
of acti vi ty .

Probability of occurrence is defined as the probability of any given event
occurring during the assUITEd life of the proposed structure (50 years) which
W)uld occur in accelerations of that level.
¡;
Experience has shown that structures that are constructed in accordance with
the Uniform Building Code are fairly resistant to seismic related hazards.
It is, therefore, our opinion that structural danage is unlikely if such
buildings are designed and constructed in accordance with the minimum
standards of the m:::>st recent edition of the Uniform Building Code.
CCN:LUSIOOS AND RFXD1MENDATIOOS
<»ŒRAL
In general, no geotechnical conditions were encountered which YoDUld preclude
the development of the site as presently proposed provided the
recornœndations presented herein are foll~.
The site is underlain by a relatively thin layer of conpressible topsoils
extending to a maxinum depth of three feet. In addition, loose fill and a
fill stockpile exist at the western and central portion of the site. These
I.

-
dep:>sits are considered unsuitable, in their present condition, for the
supp:>rt of settlenent sensitive iIrproverœnts and will require rerroval and
replacenent as compacted fill. It is anticipated that the loose surficial
soil throughout approxim3.tely half of the site will be rerroved as part of
proposed grading operations.
An additional consideration is the perched groundwater and saturated soil
existing at the contact between the terrace deposits and the less peIJTEable
Delnar Formation deposits. This condition will primarily affect the proposed
underground portion of the site and will require the installation' of
subdrains behind the proposed retaining walls. Additional subdrains rray be
required after grading is perfonœd and actual conditions are exposed. This
condition will also affect proposed temporary cut slope construction.
.
It is anticipated that the proposed structure will be founded on terrace
deposits and Delnar Fonration deposits. Terrace deposits are often highly
heterogeneous and, although not encountered in our trenches, often contain
pockets of material highly collapsible upon saturation. This condition will
require special foundation consideration as described herein. It is our
understanding that difficult trenching conditions were encountered at the
site ÌI11TEdiately to the south due to the low cenentation of existing terrace
deposits. This condition nay be encountered at the site and will affect not
onI y trenching for the portion of the structure to be supported on terrace
deposits but also proposed temporary cut slope construction. Consideration
may be given to undercutting the portion of the structure to be founded on
terrace deposits and replacing the undercut soil as compacted fill. This
will facilitate future trenching. Flatter than usual ternporary cut slopes
also will be recornrended due to this condition and the saturated condition
of SOIœ of the terrace deposits. In addition, the presence of an existing
sewer line along the northern property line will require shoring as
described herein.
œAD n:G
.
\
SITE PREPARM"IŒ: Site preparation should begin with the renuval of any
existing vegetation and deleterious matter detrÌlTental to the proposed
SCS&T 902l024
March 27, 1990
Page 8
developœnt from the areas of the site to be developed. Existing fill and
topsoils underlying the proposed settle¡œnt-sensitive btprove¡œnts (exterior
slabs and driveway included) should be rerroved to firm natural ground. This
is defined as soil having an in-place density of at least 85 percent.
Minimum horizontal limits of raroval are five feet from the periIreter of the
improvements or property line, whichever is less. The bottom of the
excavation should be scarified to a depth of 12 inches, watered heavily and
recanpacted to at least 90 percent as detennined in accordance with ASTM
0 1557-78, Method A or C. The stockpiled soils should then be placed in thin
canpacted layers until desired elevations are reached.
LOT UNDERCUT: In order to facilitate future trenching, it is suggested that
the portion of the proposed structure to be founded on terrace deposits
(above elevation 107 MSL) be undercut to a depth of two feet below finish
grade. The bottom of the excavation should be treated as described in the
previous paragraph.
¡:
EXISTIN; TRErCH BACKFILL: Trench backfill in areas to receive settle¡œnt-
sensitive irrproverœnts resulting from our subsurface explorations should be
rerroved and replaced as conpacted fill.
SATURA'IED OOIL: Groundwater and saturated soils were encountered in Trench
Number 1 and 2. This condition IT'dy affect the proposed grading of the site.
If needed appropriate recomrendations will be provided during grading when
the extent of this condition is detennined.
¡
l
I
SURFlCE 0RAlNÞJGE: It is recomrended that all surface drainage be directed
away from the structures and the top of slopes. Pending of water should not
be allowed adjacent to the foundations. Due to the cohesionless
characteristics of sOIœ of the existing terrace deposits, drainage control
over the face of slopes and prompt and proper slope planting are essential.
F..AR1JHJRK: All earthwork and grading conterrplated for site preparation
should be acconplished in accordance with the attached Recomœnded Grading
SCS&T 9021024
March 27, 1990
Page 9
Specifications and Special Provisions. All special site preparation
recormendations presented. in the sections above will supersede those in the
Standard Recomœnded. Grading Specifications. All embankJænts, structural
fill and fill should be compacted. to at least 90% relative compaction at or
slightly over optimum ITOisture content. Utility trench backfill within five
feet of the proposed. structures and beneath asphal t paveœnts should be
corrpacted. to mini.rnJm of 90% of its maxim.un dry density. The upper six inches
of subgrade beneath paved areas should be c~cted to 95% of its naximurn
dry density. This c~ction should be obtained. by the paving contractor
just prior to placing the aggregate base material and should not be part of
the mass grading requirerœnts. The naxirnum dry density of each soil type
should be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1557-78, Method A or C.
SIDPE STABILITY
I-
t
PERMANENr SUPES: Although no significant slopes are anticipated, it is our
opinion that cut and/or fill slopes constructed at a 2: 1 (horizontal to
vertical) inclination will possess an adequate factor of safety with respect
to deep seated. rotational failure to a height of at least ten feet.
l
!
I
l
TEMPORARY CUT SLOPES: Due to the cohesionless nature of some of the
anticipated terrace deposits it is recomœnded that temporary cut slopes be
constructed. at a continuous l:l (horizontal to vertical) inclination. It is
anticipated that naximum slope height will be approxinatel y 15 feet. Seepage
is anticipated. at the contact bet'M3en the terrace and r:elITar Forrration
deposits. This condition may require special consideration during
construction such as temporary dewatering. It is recommended that no
surcharge loads be allrn-a:i within ten feet from the face of temporary cut
slopes.
SIIJRIJ.(; REXXHmNDATI (JI1S
GENERAL: Due to the presence of an existing s~r line along the western
property line shoring is anticipated for prop::>sed cuts. A shoring system
SCS&T 9021024
March 27, 1990
Page lO
consisting of H-piles and \o.DOden lagging Jt\3.y be utilized for the support of
vertical tenp:>rary cut slopes. The shoring system will be built by drilling
24-inch diaJœter borings extending at least five feet below the bottom of
the proposed excavation. H-piles are placed in the holes which are then
backfilled with concrete to the bottom of the proposed excavation. The
remaining of the boring is backfilled with a lean cerœnt mix.
PASSIVE RESIS'rAtCE: All allowable passive resistance of 500 pounds per
square foot per foot of depth nay be used for design pur¡x>ses. This value
should be limited to a rnaxim.un value of 6000 pounds per square foot. The
upper foot should be neglected. A pressure diagram is provided in the

GENERAL: Shallow foundations may be utilized for the supp::>rt of the proposed
structure. The footings should have a minimum depth of 18 inches below
ICJl.o.Bst adjacent finish grade. A minimum width of 12 inches is recOITlœnded
for continuous footings. A bearing capacity of 2000 psf may be assuned for
said footings. This bearing capacity may be increased by one-third when
considering wind and/or seismic forces. Footings located adjacent to or
within slopes should be extended to a depth such that a minimum horizontal
distance of seven feet exists bet~n the bottom of the footing and the face
of the slope. Retaining wall footings in similar conditions should be
evaluated on an individual basis.

REINFCR:EMENl': Both exterior and interior continuous footings should be
reinforced with one No. 5 bar {X)sitioned near the oottorn of the footing and
one No. 5 bar {X)sitioned near the top of the footing. This reinforceITEnt is
based on soil characteristics and is not intended to be in lieu of
reinforcement necessary to satisfy structural considerations.
I;

I
<Xk.:Ht;J.']:; SLABS~: Concrete slabs-on-grade should have a thickness of
four inches and be underlain by a four-inch blanket of clean, poorly graded,
course sand or crushed rock. This blanket should consist of lOO percent
rraterial passing the one-half inch screen and no ITDre than ten percent and
five percent passing sieves #100 and #200, respectively. The slab should be
reinforced with at least No. 3 reinforcing bars placed at 24 inches on
center each way. A 6"x6"-W2.9xW2.9 ~lded wire rresh rray be used in lieu of
the rebars. Slab reinforceIœnt should be placed near the center of the slab
where ITDisture sensitive floor coverings are planned, a visqueen barrier
should be placed on top of the rock or sand layer, and a b~)-inch-thick
layer of clean sand should be placed over the visqueen to allow proper
concrete curing.
I
l
I
EXTERIffi SLABS-œ-œAIE: Exterior slabs should have a minimum thickness of
four inches. Walks or slabs five feet in width should be reinforced with
6"x6"-W1.4xW1.4 (6"x6"-10jl0) ~lded wire Iœsh and provided with ~akened
plane joints. Any slabs between five and ten feet should be provided with
longitudinal ~akened plane joints at the center lines. Slabs exceeding ten
feet in width should be provided with a ~akened plane joint located three
feet inside the exterior periIreter as indicated on attached Plate Number 11.
Both traverse and longitudinal ~akened plane joints should be constructed
as detailed in Plate Number 11. Exterior slabs adjacent to doors and garage
openings should be connected to the footings by dowels consisting of No. 3
reinforcing bars placed at 24-inch intervals extending 18 inches into the
footing and the slab.

PASSIVE PRESSURE: The passive pressure for the prevailing soil conditions
nay be considered to be 350 pounds per square foot per foot of depth. This
pressure nay be increased one-third for seismic loading. The coefficient of
friction for concrete to soil may be assmœd to be 0.35 for the resistance
to lateral nuverœnt. When combining frictional and passive resistance, the
friction should be reduced by one-thirci. The upper 12 inches of exterior
retaining wall footings should not be included in passive pressure
calculations.
F
i
1Cl'IVE PRESSURE: The active soil pressure for the design of unrestrained
earth retaining structures with level backfills may be assumed to be
equivalent to the pressure of a fluid weighing 32 pef. An additional l4 pef
should be added to said values for 2: 1 (horizontal to vertical) sloping
backfill. These pressures do not consider any other surcharge. If any are
anticipated, this office should be contacted for the necessary increase in
soil pressure. These values assume a drained backfill condition.
Waterproofing details should be provided by the project architect. A wall
drainage detail is provided on the attached Plate Number 12.
'.
.
BACKFILL: All backfill soils should be compacted to at least 90% relative
compaction. Expansive or clayey soils should not be used for backfill
naterial. The wall should not be backfilled until the nasonry has reached an
adequate strength.
FACIUR OF SAFETY: The abJve values, with the exception of the allowable soil
friction coefficient, do not include a factor of safety. Appropriate factors
of safety should be incorporated into the design to prevent the walls from
overturning and sliding.

of final plans and specifications. Such plans and specifications should be
nade available to the geotechnical engineer and engineering geologist so
that they nay review and verify their coopliance with this report and with
Chapter 70 of the Unifor:m Building Code.
It is recomœnded that Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc. be retained
to provide continuous soil engineering services during the earthwork
operations. This is to verify compliance with the design concepts,
specifications or recomœndations and to allow design changes in the event
that subsurface conditions differ fram those anticipated prior to start of
construction.

The recomœndations and opinions expressed. in this report reflect our best
estimate of the project requirements based on an evaluation of the
subsurface soil conditions encountered at the subsurface exploration
locations and on the assumption that the soil conditions do not deviate
appreciably from those encountered. It should be recognized that the
perfonnance of the foundations and/or cut and fill slopes nay be influenced
by undisclosed. or unforeseen variations in the soil conditions that nay
occur in the intenœdiate and unexplored areas. Any unusual conditions not
covered in this report that nay be encountered during site developœnt
should be brought to the attention of the geotechnical engineer so that he
nay nake m:xlifications if necessary.
amN3E IN saJPE
This office should be advised of any changes in the project scope or
proposed site grading so that we may determine if the recommendations
contained. herein are appropriate. This should be verified. in writing or
m:xlified. by a written addendum.

The findings of this re¡::ort are valid as of this date. Changes in the
condition of a property can, however, occur with the passage of time,
whether they be due to natural processes or the \<.Drk of nan on this or
adjacent properties. In addition, changes in the Standards-of-Practice
and/or Goverruœnt Codes nay occur. Due to such changes, the findings of
this report may be invalidated wholly or in part by changes beyond our
control. Therefore, this report should not be relied upon after a period of
two years without a review by us verifying the suitability of the
conclusions and recornœndations.

In the performance of our professional services, we comply with that level
of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of our profession
currently practicing under similar conditions and in the sane locality. The
client recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from those encountered
at the locations where our trenches, surveys, and explorations are made, and
that our data, interpretations, and recornœndations are based. solely on the
information obtained by us. We will be responsible for those data,
interpretations, and recornœndations, but shall not be responsible for the
interpretations by others of the information developed. Our services
consist of professional consultation and observation only, and no warranty
of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, is made or intended in
connection with the \<.Drk perforræd or to be perforræd by us, or by our

his responsibility to take the necessary measures to insure that the
contractor and his subcontractors can:y out such reconrœndations during
construction.
FIEill EXPIDRATICNS
Four subsurface explorations were nade at the locations indicated on the
attached Plate Number 1 on February 12, 1990. These explorations consisted
of trenches excavated by a backhoe. The field w:Jrk was conducted under
the observation of our engineering geology pe.rsonnel.
.
.
The explorations were carefully logged when nade. These logs are presented
on the following Plates Number 3 through 6. The soils are described in
accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System as illustrated on
the attached sinplified chart on Plate 2. In addition, a verbal textural
description, the wet color, the apparent moisture, and the density or
consistency are provided. The density of granular soils is given as either
very loose, loose, ITEdium dense, dense, or very dense. The consistency of
silts or clays is given as either very soft, soft, ITEdium stiff, stiff, very
stiff, or hard.
Disturbed. and undisturbed. sanples of typical and representative soils were
obtained and returned to the laJ:::oratory for testing.
LAOORAroRY TES'I'llG
Laboratory tests were pe.rfonœd in accordance with the general! y accepted
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods or suggested
procedures. A brief description of the tests perfonœd is presented below:
a)
Cl.AC)SIFlCATIOO:
Field classifications were verified
in the
laboratory by visual examination. The final soil classifications
are in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.

March 27, 1990
b)
K>IS'IURE-DENSITY: In-place rroisture contents and. dry densities
were determined for representative soil samples. This information
was an aid to classification and permitted recognition of
variations in II\3.terial consistency with depth. The dry unit
weight is determined in pounds per cubic foot, and the in-place
rroisture content is determined as a percentage of the soil's dry
weight. The results are sUITITarized in the trench logs.
c)
æAIN SIZE DIS'ßUBUITœ: The grain size distribution was
determined for representative samples of the native soils in
accordance with ASTM 0422. The results of these tests are
presented on Plate Number 7.
d)
CDœACTIOO TEST: The II\3.Xim..un dry density and optimum rroisture
content of typical soils were determined in the laboratory in
accordance with ASTM Standard Test 0-1557-78, MethOO A. The
results of these tests are presented on the attached Plate Nunber
8.
e)
EXPANSIOO INDEX TEST: An expansion index test on rerrolded sanples
was performed on representative samples of soils likely to be
present at finish grade. The test was perforrœd on the portion of
the sample passing the #4 standard sieve. The sample was brought
to optimum moisture content then dried back to a constant
rroisture content for 12 hours at 230 +/- 9 degrees Fahrenheit.
The speci1œn was then cœpacted in a 4-inch-dianeter rrold in t\\U
equal layers by neans of a tanper, then tr.imœd to a final height
of 1 inch, and. brought to a saturation of approxinately 50%. The
speciIœn was placed in a consolidOlTEter with porous stones at the
top and bottom, a total normal load of 12.63 pounds was placed
(144.7 psf), and the sample was all~ to consolidate for a
period of 10 minutes. The sample was allowed to become
saturated, and the change in vertical ~nt was recorded 'until
the rate of expansion becane nominal. The expansion index is

f)
DIRFX:T SHEAR TESTS: Direct shear tests \VE!re perforrred to
determine the failure envelope based on yield shear strength.
The shear box was designed to accommodate a sample having a
diaIreter of 2.375 inches or 2.50 inches and a height of 1. 0 inch.
Sanples \VE!re tested at different vertical loads and a saturated
ITDisture content. The shear stress was applied at a constant
rate of strain of approximately 0.05 inches per minute. 'I11e
results of these tests are presented on attached Plate Number
9.
g)
~OO TEST: Single point consolidation tests \VE!re
perforrred on selected "undisturbed" sarrples. The consolidation
apparatus was designed to acconm:x:iate a I-inch high by 2.375-inch
or 2.500-inch diameter soil sample laterally confined by a brass
ring. Porous stones \VE!re placed in contact with the top and
bottom of the sanple to permit the addition or release of pore
fluid during testing. Selected loads \VE!re applied to the sanples
and the resulting deformations were recorded. The percent
consolidation is reported as the ratio of the amount of vertical
conpression to the original sanple height. 'I11e test sanples
were inundated to determine their behavior under the anticipated
loads as soil JIDisture increases. The results of these tests are
presented on Plate Number 10.

The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures for clearing,
compacting natural ground, preparing areas to be filled, and placing and
compacting fill soils to the lines and grades shown on the accepted plans.
The recornrendations contained in the preliminary geotechnical investigation
report and/or the attached Special Provisions are a part of the Recornrended
Grading Specifications and shall supersede the provisions contained
hereinafter in the case of conflict. These specifications shall only be
used in conjunction with the geotechnical report for which they are a part.
No deviation from these specifications will be allowed, except where
specified in the geotechnical report or in other written conmunication
signed by the Geotechnical Engineer.
i
<ÐSERVATIŒ AIÐ '.œb"l'llG
Southern California Soil and Testing, Inc., shall be retained as the
Geotechnical Engineer to observe and test the earthWJrk in accordance with
these specifications. It will be necessary that the Geotechnical Engineer
or his representative provide adequate observation so that he nay provide
his opinion as to whether or not the WJrk was accomplished as specified. It
shall be the responsibility of the contractor to assist the Geotechnical
Engineer and to keep him appraised of work schedules, changes and new
infO1:mation and data so that he nay provide these opinions. In the event
that any unusual conditions not covered by the special provisions or
preliminary geotechnical report are encountered during the grading
operations, the Geotechnical Engineer shall be contacted for further
recornrendations .

If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical Engineer, substandard conditions are
encountered, such as questionable or unsuitable soil, unacceptable moisture
content, inadequate conpaction, adverse weather, etc.; construction should
be stopped until the conditions are remedied or corrected or he shall
recornrend rejection of this \o.Drk.
Tests used to detennine the degree of conpaction should be perfonred in
accordance with the following AIrerican Society for Testing and Materials
test nethods:
Maximum Density & Optim.Im Moisture Content - ASTM D-1557-78.
Density of Soil In-Place - AS'IM D-1556-64 or ASTM D-2922.
All densities shall be expressed in terms of Relative Compaction as
detennined by the foregoing ASTM testing procedures.
PREPARATICfi OF AREAS 'ID ROCEIVE FIIL
f
All vegetation, brush and debris derived from clearing operations shall
be remJVed, and legally disposed of. All areas disturbed by site grading
should be left in a neat and finished appearance, free from unsightly
debris.
After clearing or benching the natural ground, the areas to be filled shall
be scarified to a depth of 6 inches, brought to the proper moisture content,
compacted and tested for the specified mi.nirnum degree of conpaction. All
lCXJse soils in excess of 6 inches thick should be rem:::wed to firm natural
ground which is defined as natural soils which possesses an in-situ density
of at least 90% of its maximum dry density.

When the slope of the natural ground receiving fill exceeds 20% (5
horizontal units to 1 vertical unit), the original ground shall be stepped
or benched. Benches shall be. cut to a firm conpetent formational soils. The
lower bench shall be at least 10 feet wide or 1-1/2 tilæs the the equipœnt
width whichever is greater and shall be sloped back into the hillside at a
gradient of rot less than t\\D ( 2) percent. All other benches should be at
least 6 feet wide. The horizontal portion of each bench shall be carpacted
prior to receiving fill as specified herein for conpacted natural ground.
Ground slopes flatter than 20% shall be benched when considered necessary by
the Geotechnical Engineer.
.
i
Any abandoned buried structures encountered during grading operations must
be totally rerroved. All underground utilities to be abandoned beneath any
proposed structure should be renuved from within 10 feet of the structure
and properly capped off. The resulting depressions from the above described
procedures should be backfilled with acceptable soil that is conpacted to
the requirements of the Geotechnical Engineer. This includes, but is not
limited to, septic tanks, fuel tanks, s~r lines or leach lines, storm
drains and water lines. Any buried structures or utilities not to be
abandoned should be brought to the attention of the Geotechnical Engineer
so that he nay determine if any special rec:ormendation will be necessary.
\.

All water \oælls which will be abandoned should be backfilled and capped. in
accordance to the requirerœnts set forth by the Geotechnical Engineer. The
top of the cap should be at least 4 feet below finish grade or 3 feet below
the bottom of footing whichever is greater. The type of cap will depend on
the diameter of the well and should be determined by the Geotechnical
Engineer and/or a qualified Structural Engineer.

FilL M1nERIAL
.
Materials to be placed in the fill shall be approved by the Geotechnical
Engineer and shall be free of vegetable matter and other deleterious
substances. Granular soil shall contain sufficient fine naterial to fill
the voids. The definition and disposition of oversized rocks and expansive
or detriIœntal soils are covered in the geotechnical report or Special
Provisions. Expansive soils, soils of poor gradation, or soils with low
strength characteristics nay be thoroughly mixed with other soils to provide
satisfactory fill material, but only with the explicit consent of the
Geotechnical Engineer. Any import material shall be approved by the
Geotechnical Engineer before being brought to the site.
PLl!Cll[; AND exH'ÞCl'IOO OF FILL
j
I
I
Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in
layers not to exceed 6 inches in corrpacted thickness. Each layer shall have
a uniform IIDisture content in the range that will allow the conpaction
effort to be efficiently applied to achieve the specified degree of
compaction. Each layer shall be uniformly compacted to the specified
minimum degree of compaction with equipment, of adequate size to
economically coopact the layer. Conpaction equiprent should either be
specifically designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability. The
minimum degree of compaction to be achieved is specified in either the
Special Provisions or the recornœndations contained in the preliminary
geotechnical investigation report.
'"'

When the structural fill naterial includes rocks, no rocks will be allowed
to nest and all voids nust be carefully filled with soil such that the
minimum degree of compaction recommended in the Special Provisions is
achieved. The maximum size and spacing of rock permitted in structural
fills and in non-structural fills is discussed in the geotechnical report,
when applicable.

Field observation and carrpaction tests to estÍIMte the degree of corrpaction
of the fill will be taken by the Geotechnical Engineer or his
representative. The location and frequency of the tests shall be at the
Geotechnical Engineer' s discretion. When the coopaction test indicates that
a particular layer is at less than the required degree of conpaction, the
layer shall be reworked to the satisfaction of the Geotechnical Engineer and
until the desired relative carrpaction has been obtained.
! .
~
Fill slopes shall be compacted by rœans of sheepsfoot rollers or other
suitable equipœnt. Compaction by sheepsfoot rollers shall be at vertical
intervals of not greater than four feet. In addition, fill slopes at a
ratio of two horizontal to one vertical or flatter, should be trackrolled.
Steeper fill slopes shall be over-built and cut-back to finish contours
after the slope has been constructed. Slope compaction operations shall
result in all fill J\\3.terial six or nore inches inward from the finished face
of the slope having a relative conpaction of at least 90% of naxirn.Jm dry
density or the degree of conpaction specified in the Special Provisions
section of this specification. The coopaction operation on the slopes shall
be continued until the Geotechnical Engineer is of the opinion that the
slopes will be stable surficially stable.
.
40,
Density tests in the slopes will be J\\3.de by the Geotechnical Engineer during
construction of the slopes to determine if the required carrpaction is being
achieved. Where failing tests occur or other field probleITE arise, the
Contractor will be notified that day of such conditions by written
corrmunication from the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative in the
form of a daily field report.
If the nethcxi of achieving the required slope compaction selected by the
Contractor fails to produce the necessary resul ts , the Contractor shall
rework or rebuild such slopes until the required degree of coopaction is
obtained, at no cost to the Owner or Geotechnical Engineer.

The Engineering Geologist shall inspect cut slop?.s excavated in rock or
lithified formational rraterial during the grading operations at intervals
determined at his discretion. If any conditions not anticipated in the
preliminary report such as perched water, seepage, lenticular or confined
strata of a potentially adverse nature, unfavorably inclined bedding, joints
or fault planes are encountered during grading, these conditions shall be
analyzed by the Engineering Geologist and Soil Engineer to determine if
mitigating measures are necessary.
Unless otherwise specified in the geotechnical report, no cut slopes shall
be excavated higher or steep?.r than that allowed by the ordinances of the
controlling goveTI'D'tEntal agency.

J
I
Field observation by the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative shall
be nade during the filling and conpacting operations so that he can express
his opinion regarding the conformance of the grading with acceptable
standards of practice. Neither the presence of the Geotechnical Engineer or
his representative or the observation and testing shall not release the
Grading Contractor from his duty to compact all fill material to the
specified degree of conpaction.

~ LIHITS
Fill shall not be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. When work
is interrupted by heavy rain, filling operations shall not be resUJœd until
the proper moisture content and density of the fill materials can be
achieved. Dam3.ged site conditions resulting from weather or acts of Gcxi
shall be repaired before acceptance of work.

RElATIVE CXlœN:TIOO: The minimum degree of compaction to be obtained in
coopacted natural ground, conpacted fill, and compacted backfill shall be at
least 90 percent. For street and parking lot subgrade, the upper six inches
should be coopacted to at least 95% relative compaction.
EXPANSIVE SOIlS: DetriIœntally expansive soil is defined as clayey soil
which has an expansion index of 50 or greater when tested in accordance with
the Unifonn Building Code Standard 29-C.
<JVE:Æ;IZED MMERIAL: Oversized fill material is generally defined herein as
rocks or lumps of soil over 6 inches in diameter. Oversize materials should
not be placed in fill unless recomrendations of placement of such material
is provided by the geotechnical engineer. At least 40 percent of the fill
soils shall pass through a No. 4 u.s. Standard Sieve.
