The site currently sheet flows to on -site inlets and the runoff is conveyed to Rosebay via underground storm drain system. The runoff is to be collected at the existing inlets and then conveyed to the public storm drain system to the east of the project. The proposed development will consist of an addition to the existing building. The runoff will be directed towards various inlets which will then be conveyed to the existing storm drain system on -site. All runoff will be discharged into an existing storm drain system. ' Scope of Work: This drainage report has been prepared to document the design and calculation for the drainage system associated with the site development of the Pacbell facility at Rosebay Drive in Encinitas, California. See Location Map on Page 4. 1 � 1 ' Hydrology /Hydraulics Methodology: This drainage system has been designed in general conformance with the County of Sail Diego Drainage Design Manual. Drainage basins are less than one square mile; therefore, the Rational and Modified Rational Methods were utilized to calculate storm runoff. The 100 -yr frequency storm has been used for runoff calculations. 1 • The following are the runoff coefficient used, see Appendix 1, Runoff Coefficients - Undeveloped /Developed Area. - Industrial Sites 0.95 ' • Time of Concentration was calculated using Urban Areas Overland Time of Flow Curves, See Appendix 2. A minimum time of concentration used was five minutes. ' • 1 determined by Isopuvials Charts for 100 -yr 24 & 6 hour Precipitation, Sec Appendix 3 and 4. • Intensity was calculated using the Rainfall Intensity - Duration Frequency Curves for County of San Diego, see Appendix 5. • Pipe sizing and flow routing was calculated by using Manning's equation for channel flow. Calculations for pipes flowing partially full Tables 7 -4 and 7 -14 from I andbook of Hydraulics, by Ernest F. Brater and Horace Williams King was used, ' see Appendix 6. 1 1 � 2 ' RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS ' The underground storm system is designed to convey the 100 -yr storm event with in the curb and gutter onsite and the underground pipes have been designed to convey the 100 -yr storm event. The pre- developed and post - developed basins are of the basic same area and there is no diversion of flow from one basin to another. No riprap will be required for the modification of the on -site system because it connects directly to the public system in place. � 3 I ' z t L[DCADIA BL VD n \ n z CD C) T \ f � c11 ' 5 SNAPDRAGO o z sr s TCARCRRY ' = ST E NCINI T A S ^ o — - S9 BL VO n z ' F site.

The locations of the proposed addition and our explorations are shown in Figure 1, Plot Plan. The purpose of our geotechnical investigation was to identify the geotechnical conditions and geologic hazards at the site and to provide recommendations for the design of foundations, for floor slab support, and for earthwork. Our geotechnical investigation consisted of the following tasks: - A limited geologic- seismic hazards evaluation to identify the geologic conditions beneath the site and geologic hazards that may affect the project. - A foundation investigation to determine the physical properties of the soils beneath the site and to provide recommendations for the design of foundations, for floor slab support, and for earthwork. Studies to assess environmental hazards that may affect the site were beyond the scope of this investigation. Our recommendations are based on the results of our field explorations and laboratory tests, geologic studies, and appropriate engineering analyses. The results of the field explorations and laboratory tests are presented in the Appendix. Our professional services have been performed using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable geotechnical consultants practicing in this or similar localities. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the professional advice included in this report. This report has been prepared for Allied Design Group - JWDA and their design consultants to be used solely in the design of the proposed development. The report has not been prepared for use by other parties, and may not contain sufficient information for purposes of other parties or other uses. 1 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCRANDALL Project 1 - 0311 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 2.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION the proposed addition will consist of constructing a one-story building We understand that p p S ry g addition over a subterranean basement level adjacent to the eastside to the existing Pacific Bell building. The building addition will approximately 8,700 square feet in plan and will be constructed of reinforced concrete and masonry units. Design loading information was not provided but is anticipated to be light to moderate, maximum column loads of less than 120 kips and maximum wall loads of less than 3.5 kips per linear foot. The finish floor elevation of the basement level will be established at approximately Elevation 90 feet above Mean Sea Level (msl). The earthwork will primarily consist of excavations for the basement level, minor site grading, and excavation and backfilling of utility trenches. 2.2 SITE CONDITION The site of the proposed building addition is adjacent to the existing Pacific Bell facility at 137 Rosebay Drive in Encinitas, California. The site is relatively flat and currently used for surface parking. Existing grades range between approximate Elevation 99 msl to Elevation 103 msl and slope toward the existing structure. 2 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA L.4WCR.4ND.4LL Project 70341 -0 -0060 ' Report of Geotechnical Investigation 3.0 FIELD EXPLORATIONS AND LABORATORY TESTS 3.1 FIELD EXPLORATIONS and groundwater conditions beneath the site of the proposed building The soil g P P g addition were explored by drilling three borings to depths of 21 feet below the existing grade using 8 -inch diameter hollow -stem auger drilling equipment at the locations shown on Figure 1. Details of the explorations and the logs of the borings are presented in the Appendix. 3.2 LABORATORY TESTS Laboratory tests were performed on selected samples obtained from the borings to aid in the classification of the soils and to determine the pertinent engineering properties of the foundation soils. The following tests were performed: Moisture content and dry density determinations. Direct shear tests. All testing was done in general accordance with applicable ASTM specifications. Details of the laboratory testing program and test results are also presented in the Appendix. 3 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCPUNDALL Project "0341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 4.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS Topsoil up to 1.5 feet thick were encountered in one of our three borings. The topsoil consists of loose, very fine to fine sand. Alluvial /colluvial soils were encountered in all three of our borings. The alluvial /colluvial soils consist of medium dense to dense, fine to medium sand. Beneath the alluvial /colluvial soils, the site is underlain by bedrock of the Tertiary age Torrey Sandstone. Where encountered in our exploratory borings, the Torrey Sandstone consists of fine- to coarse - grained sandstone with trace amounts of fine gravel. The bedrock was moderately to highly weathered and typically weakly cemented. Groundwater or water seepage was not encountered in our exploratory borings. w 4 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWC29NDALL Project 70341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 5.0 LIMITED GEOLOGIC - SEISMIC EVALUATION 5.1 GEOLOGIC SETTING The site is located within the Coastal Plain of the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province in western San Diego County. The dominant structural trend of the Peninsular Range is defined by faults associated with the Rose Canyon and Elsinore fault zones, along with other similar northerly and northwesterly- trending fault zones in southern and Baja California. The coastal plain is a narrow strip, 5 to 10 miles wide, consisting of Pleistocene age marine terrace deposits. These were developed and preserved as a result of seaward regression and regional uplift since early Pleistocene time (Eisenberg, 1985). Subsequent erosion has created a mesa -like topography exposing the older Tertiary age units in the vicinity of the site. The eastern margin of the coastal plain is the contact between the Tertiary sedimentary rocks and the underlying Southern California Batholith, which is exposed to the east. The areal geology in the vicinity of the site is depicted on Figure 2, Local Geology. The site is shown in relation to major fault zones and earthquake epicenters on Figure 3, Regional Faults and Seismicity. 5.2 GEOLOGIC HAZARDS Faults The numerous faults in Southern California include active, potentially active, and inactive faults. The definition of fault terms used in this report are based on those developed for the Alquist - Priolo Special Studies Zones Act of 1972, by the California Division of Mines and Geology (Hart, 1994). Active faults are defined as those that have had surface displacement within Holocene time (approximately the last 11,000 years) and /or have been included within an Alquist- Priolo Special Studies Zone. Faults are considered potentially active if they show evidence of surface displacement since the beginning of Quaternary time (about two million years ago) but not since the beginning of Holocene time. Inactive faults are those that have not had surface movement since the beginning of Quaternary time. 5 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCRMDAtl Project %0341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation The site is not within a current Alquist- Priolo Special Studies Zone for fault surface rupture hazard. No active or potentially active faults are known to pass directly beneath or project towards the site. Therefore, the potential for surface rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the site ' during the design life of the proposed structure is considered low. Active Faults The closest known active faults to the site are within the Rose Canyon Fault Zone (RCFZ). This fault zone comes onshore in La Jolla Bay and extends south - southeast through Rose Canyon along the inland edge of Mission Bay to downtown San Diego. The closest mapped trace of the fault zone is offshore located about 5.0 miles (8.0 kilometers) west- southwest of the site. Known major active faults (some within the RCFZ) or fault zones that could cause significant ground shaking at the site include the: Newport- Inglewood Fault Zone located 9.0 miles (14.4 kilometers) northwest; Coronado Bank fault located 19.2 miles (31 kilometers) southwest; Spanish Bight fault located 21.6 miles (35 kilometers) south - southeast; Coronado fault located 24 miles (39 kilometers) south - southeast; Silver Strand fault located 25.2 miles (41 kilometers) south - southeast; Elsinore fault located 26.4 miles (43 kilometers) northeast of the site; San Diego Trough fault located 29.4 miles (47 kilometers) southwest; San Miguel - Vallecitos fault located 37.8 miles (61 kilometers) south - southeast; San Jacinto Fault Zone located 51 miles (82 kilometers) northeast; and Imperial fault located 101 miles (163 kilometers) east - southeast of the site. The active San Andreas Fault, which is generally considered the most significant fault in California, is located 76 miles (97 kilometers) northeast of the site. Potentially Active Faults The closest major potentially active fault to the site is an unnamed fault that crosses Encinitas Boulevard at Rosebay Drive and is projected to run along the western edge of the existing Pacific ' Bell facility (Eisenberg, 1985). This fault cuts through and displaces Tertiary age Torrey Sandstone, and may offset Pleistocene age marine terrace deposits as well, but is not known to displace younger sediments. Other, nearby, potentially active faults include the La Costa Ave fault located 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) north - northwest, Christianitos fault located 27.6 miles (44.5 kilometers) north - northwest, Carmel Valley fault located 10.8 miles (17.4 kilometers) south, Point Loma fault located 20.4 miles (33 kilometers) south, Florida Canyon fault located 21.0 miles (34 kilometers) south - southeast, Texas Street fault located 21.2 miles (34.2 kilometers) south - 6 ' Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 1000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA L.4wCRAND.4LL Project 70341 -0 -0060 ' Report of Geotechnical Investigation southeast, La Nacion fault zone located approximately 21.8 miles (35 kilometers) south - southeast, and Fort Rosecrans fault located 21.0 miles (34 kilometers) south - southeast of the site. Seismicity The site is located in northwestern San Diego County, an area of low seismicity compared to the general Southern California area, which has high seismic activity considered as a whole. Historically (approximately the last 200 years), only one large- magnitude earthquake has occurred in the immediate metropolitan San Diego area. However, the San Diego area has been subject to ground shaking on many other occasions as a result of earthquakes in the surrounding, more highly seismic Southern California/Northern Baja California and offshore regions. Locations of significant faults, and epicenters of major earthquakes (magnitude greater than 6.0) in the surrounding area, are shown on Figure 3, Regional Faults and Seismicity. The site could be subjected to strong ground motion in the event of an earthquake. However, this hazard is common in Southern California and the effects of ground shaking can be mitigated if the proposed development is designed and constructed in conformance with current building codes and engineering practices. Liquefaction and Seismically- Induced Settlement Liquefaction potential is greatest where the ground water level is shallow, and loose, fine sands occur within a depth of about 50 feet or less. Groundwater was not encountered in our exploratory borings to a depth of 20 feet below the ground surface. Furthermore, dense sands of the Torrey Sandstone lie at approximately 10 feet below the ground surface. Due to the shallow proximity of consolidated bedrock and lack of ground water, the potential for liquefaction and associated ground deformation occurring beneath the site is considered remote and will not be an issue for the planned project. Subsidence The site is not within an area of known subsidence associated with fluid withdrawal (groundwater or petroleum), peat oxidation, or hydrocompaction. 7 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAti CRAxuAtc Project 703.11 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation Landsliding and Lurching The relatively flat -lying topography at the site precludes both slope stability problems and the potential for lurching (earth movement at right angles to a cliff or steep slope during ground shaking). There are no known landslides near the site, nor is the site in the path of any known or potential landslides. Tsunamis, Seiches, and Flooding The site is located about 1.5 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean at an elevation of approximately 100 feet above sea level. Therefore, no risk of damage from seismic sea waves (tsunamis) is anticipated. The site is not located downslope or near large bodies of water that could adversely affect the site in the event of earthquake- induced failures or seiches (wave oscillations in an enclosed or semi - enclosed body of water). 5.3 CONCLUSIONS Based on the available geologic data, no known active or potentially active faults with the potential for surface fault rupture are known to exist directly beneath the site. Accordingly, the potential for surface rupture at the site due to faulting is considered low during the design life of the proposed building. Although the site could be subjected to strong ground shaking in the event of an earthquake, this hazard is common in Southern California and the effects of ground shaking can be mitigated if the building is designed and constructed in conformance with current building codes and engineering practices. The site is relatively level and the absence of nearby slopes precludes slope stability hazards. The potential for other geologic hazards such as liquefaction, seismic settlement, subsidence, flooding, tsunamis, inundation, and seiches affecting the site is considered low to remote. 8 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCWDAU Project 70331 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 FOUNDATIONS The proposed basement level of the building addition will extend into to the bedrock materials encountered in our borings within the building plan. The building addition may be supported on spread footings established in undisturbed bedrock materials. Bearing Value established in the undisturbed bedrock materials may be designed to impose a ootings y dead-plus g p p live load pressure of 5,000 pounds per square foot. All footings should be established at a depth of at least 2 feet below the lowest adjacent grade or floor level, whichever is lower. Footing excavations should be deepened as necessary to extend into satisfactory bearing materials. A one -third increase in the bearing value can be used for wind or seismic loads. The recommended bearing value is a net value, and the weight of concrete in the footings can be taken as 50 pounds per cubic foot; the weight of soil backfill can be neglected when determining the downward loads. Settlement Structural loads are not known at the time of this investigation. However, structural loads are anticipated to be light to moderate and settlement of the proposed building addition supported on spread footings as recommended, should be less than '/2 inch. Differential settlement should be less than ' / 4 inch. Lateral Loads Lateral loads may be resisted by friction and by the passive resistance of the soils. A coefficient of friction of 0.4 may be used between footings or the slab -on -grade floors for the underlying materials. The passive resistance may be assumed to be equal to the pressure developed by a fluid with a density of 300 pounds per cubic foot. A one -third increase in the passive value may be used 9 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCRANDILL Project 7 0341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation for wind or seismic loads. The passive resistance of the materials may be combined with the frictional resistance without reduction in determining the total lateral resistance. Footing Observation To verify the presence of satisfactory materials at design elevations, all footing excavations should be observed by personnel of our firm. Footing excavations should be cleaned of any loosened soil and debris before placing steel or concrete. Footing excavations should be observed and probed for soft areas. Any soft, loose, or unsatisfactory materials should be removed and replaced with lean concrete. All applicable requirements of the California Construction and General Industry Safety Orders, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and the Construction Safety Act should be met. Inspection of footing excavations may be required by the appropriate reviewing governmental agencies. The contractor should be familiar with the inspection requirements of the reviewing agencies. 6.2 SITE COEFFICIENT AND SEISMIC ZONATION The site coefficient, S, can be determined as established in the Earthquake Regulations under Section 1629 of the UBC, 1997 edition, for seismic design of the proposed building addition. Based on a review of the local soil and geologic conditions, the site may be classified as Soil Profile Type Sg, as specified in the 1997 code. The site is located within UBC Seismic Zone 4. The site is near the Rose Canyon Fault Zone (RCFZ), which has been determined to be a Type B seismic source by the California Division of Mines and Geology. According to Map 0 -36 in the 1998 publication from the International Conference of Building Officials entitled "Maps of Known Active Fault Near - Source Zones in California and Adjacent Portions of Nevada," the proposed building addition is located at a distance of 8.0 kilometers from the RCFZ. At this distance for a seismic source type B, the near source factors, N and N,,, are to be taken as 1.00 and 1.08 respectively, based on Tables 16 -S and 16 -T of the 1997 UBC. 10 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCR4NDALL Project 7 341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation WALLS BELOW GRADE Walls below grade should be designed to resist a trapezoidal distribution of lateral earth pressure plus any lateral surcharge from adjacent loads. The recommended pressure distribution for the case where the grade is level behind the wall is illustrated below, with the maximum pressure equal to 24H in pounds per square foot, where H is the height of the wall in feet. 0.2H H= HEIGHT OF 0.6H WALL IN FT. 0.2H (P.S.F.) The recommended earth pressure assumes that a drainage system will be installed the behind the base of the basement walls, so that external water pressure will not develop against the basement walls. Drainage behind the basement walls may be provided by vertical strips of a geosynthetic drainage composite. The strips may be placed at a depth starting at about 4 feet below the existing grade. The strips should be at least 4 feet wide and placed 8 feet on centers. The drain should be ' continuous within the lower 4 feet of the wall. The drain should be connected to a 6- inch - diameter perforated pipe surrounded by 6 inches of /4 -inch gravel or crushed rock surrounded by a filter fabric. The perforated pipe should be connected to a drainage system through a solid pipe. In addition to the recommended earth pressures, the upper 10 feet of walls adjacent to vehicular traffic areas should be designed to resist a uniform lateral pressure of 100 pounds per square foot, acting as a result of an assumed 300 pounds per square foot surcharge behind the walls due to normal traffic. If the traffic is kept back at least 10 feet from the walls, the traffic surcharge may be neglected. 11 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCPUNDALL Project 10341 -0 -0060 ' Report of Geotechnical Investigation 6.4 FLOOR SLAB SUPPORT If the grading recommendations presented in this report are followed, the floor slabs of the ' proposed buildings may be supported on grade. ' Construction activities and exposure to the environment can cause deterioration of the prepared subgrade. Therefore, we recommend that our field representative observe the condition of the ' final subgrade soils immediately prior to slab -on -grade construction, and, if necessary, perform further density and moisture content tests to determine the suitability of the final prepared ' subgrade. If vinyl or other moisture - sensitive floor covering is planned, we recommend that the floor slab in ' such areas be underlain by a capillary break consisting of a vapor- retarding membrane over a 4- inch -thick layer of gravel. A 2- inch -thick layer of sand should be placed between the gravel and ' the membrane to decrease the possibility of damage to the membrane. We suggest the following gradation for the gravel: Sieve Size Percent Passing ' 3 /<" 90- 100 No.4 0-10 ' No. 100 0- 3 ' Low - slump. concrete should be used to minimize possible curling of the slab. A 2- inch -thick layer of coarse sand can be placed over the vapor retarding membrane to reduce slab curling. If this sand bedding is used, care should be taken during the placement of the concrete to prevent displacement of the sand. The concrete slab should be allowed to cure properly before placing vinyl or other moisture - sensitive floor covering. ' 12 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCPUNDALL Project '0341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 6.5 EARTHWORK General The earthwork will primarily consist of excavations for the basement level, minor site grading, and the excavation and backfilling of utility trenches. All fill and backfill soils should be compacted and as recommended in this report. Excavation The alluvial /colluvial and weathered formational soils, which extend to 10 feet below the existing grade, are not expected to pose unusual excavation difficulties and conventional earthmoving equipment may be used. Where there is not sufficient space for sloped embankments, shoring will be required. Recommendations for shoring are presented in Section 6.7. Temporary unsurcharged excavations may generally be made at 1:1 (horizontal to vertical). Some sloughing of the surface soils should be anticipated. The excavations should be observed by our firm so that any necessary modifications in slopes can be made based on variations in the soil conditions encountered in the field. The bottom of any unshored excavation should be restricted so as not to extend below a plane inclined at 1' /z:l downward from the footings of adjacent existing structures unless shoring and/or underpinning are provided. Where sloped excavations are used, the tops of the slopes should be barricaded to prevent vehicles and storage loads within 10 feet of the tops of excavated slopes. If the temporary construction slopes are to be maintained during the rainy season, berms are recommended along the tops of the slopes, to prevent runoff water from entering the excavation and eroding the slope faces. All applicable requirements of the California Construction and General Industry Safety Orders, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and the Construction Safety Act should be met. Subgrade Preparation and Moisture Conditioning After the site is cleared and the excavations to the desired depth are performed, the exposed soils should be carefully observed for the removal of all unsuitable deposits. Next, the exposed soils 13 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWC&4NDALL Project 70341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation should be rolled with heavy compaction equipment. No scarification and compaction is required if the exposed subgrade within a building pad consist entirely of clean undisturbed bedrock materials. Compaction After observing and compacting the exposed subgrade soils, any required fill should be placed in horizontal lifts not more than 8 inches in loose thickness and compacted to at least 90% of the maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM D1557 -91. The moisture content of the fill should be maintained at optimum or about 2% above optimum during compaction. Material for Fill The on -site soils, less any contaminated soil, debris or organic matter may be used in the required site fills. Any rock or other soil fragments greater than 4 inches in size should not be used in the required fills. Any required imported fill should consist of relatively non- expansive soils with an Expansion Index (ASTM D4829 -95) of less than 35. Import material should be approved by our firm prior to arrival at the site and should contain sufficient fines (binder material) so as to provide a compacted fill that will be relatively impermeable and will be stable in shallow trenches. Backfill All required structural and utility trench backfill should be mechanically compacted. Flooding should not be permitted. The exterior grades should be sloped to drain away from the structures to minimize ponding of water adjacent to the basement walls and foundations. Minimum site gradients of at least 5% in the landscaped areas and of 1% in the hardscaped areas are recommended in the areas surrounding buildings. Compaction of the backfill as recommended herein will be necessary to reduce settlement of the backfill and associated settlement of the overlying walks, paving, and utilities. All backfill below structures, slabs and pavements and structural fill should be compacted to at least 90% (ASTM D1557 -91). 14 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCRAND.-iLL Project "0341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 6.6 SHORING General Where there is not sufficient space for sloped embankments, shoring will be required. Because the planned excavations are anticipated to be on the order of 12 feet deep, cantilevered shoring should be feasible. One method of shoring would consist of steel soldier piles placed in drilled holes and backfilled with concrete. The bottom elevations of the footings of the existing Pacific Bell building adjacent to the addition are not known at this time. If the bottom elevations of the footings are within a plane drawn at 1:1 upward from the edge of any shored excavation, we should contacted for additional recommendations. The following information on the design and installation of the shoring is as complete as possible at this time. We can furnish any additional required data as the design progresses. Also, we suggest that our firm review the final shoring plans and specifications prior to bidding or negotiating with a shoring contractor. Lateral Pressures For design of cantilevered shoring, a triangular distribution of lateral earth pressure may be used. It may be assumed that the retained soils with a level surface behind the cantilevered shoring will exert a lateral pressure equal to that developed by a fluid with a density of 30 pounds per cubic foot. The use of cantilevered shoring adjacent to any existing structures should be carefully evaluated since such shorings will be subject to deflection more than a braced or tied -back shoring. In addition to the recommended earth pressure, the upper 10 feet of shoring adjacent to areas with regular vehicular traffic should be designed to resist a uniform lateral pressure of 100 pounds per square foot behind the shoring due to normal street traffic. If the traffic is kept back at least 10 feet from the shoring, the traffic surcharge may be neglected. 15 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAWCRANDAtl Project 7 0341 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation Design of Soldier Piles For the design of soldier piles spaced at least two diameters on centers, the allowable lateral bearing value (passive value) of the soils below the level of excavation may be assumed to be 800 pounds per square foot per foot of depth, up to a maximum of 6000 pounds per square foot. To develop the full lateral value, provisions should be taken to assure firm contact between the soldier piles and the undisturbed soils. The concrete placed in the soldier pile excavations may be a lean - mix concrete. However, the concrete used in that portion of the soldier pile which is below the excavated level should be of sufficient strength to adequately transfer the imposed planned exca g q Y loads p to the surrounding soils. Lagging Continuous lagging will be required between the soldier piles in the fill soils. The lagging should be installed as the excavation proceeds. If the clear spacing between soldier piles does not exceed five feet, the lagging between soldier piles may be omitted within the bedrock. If the lagging is omitted, a wire mesh fabric should be draped over the face of the shoring to reduce chances of falling chunks of rock or soil. The soldier piles should be designed for the full anticipated lateral pressure. However, the pressure on the lagging will be less due to arching in the soils. We recommend that the lagging be designed for the recommended earth pressure but limited to a maximum value of 400 pounds per square foot. Some caving and running of the upper fill soils should be anticipated and it will be necessary to carefully backfill portions of the lagging with on -site clean sand or sand - cement slurry after installation. 6.7 GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATION The subgrade preparation and the compaction of all required fill should be observed and tested during placement by a representative of our firm. This representative should perform at least the following duties: • Observe the clearing and grubbing operations for proper removal of all unsuitable materials including existing on -site fill soils. 16 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA L40'CRANDALL Project 7 -0 -0060 ' Report of Geotechnical Investigation Evaluate the suitability of on -site and import soils for fill placement; collect and submit soil samples for required or recommended laboratory testing where necessary. Observe the fill and backfill for uniformity during placement. ' 0 Test backfill for field density and compaction to determine the percentage of compaction achieved during backfill placement. Observe and probe foundation materials to confirm that suitable bearing materials are present at the design foundation depths. The governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the project should be notified prior to commencement of grading so that the necessary grading permits can be obtained and arrangements can be made for required inspection(s). The contractor should be familiar with the inspection requirements of the reviewing agencies. t ' 17 Allied Design Group - JWDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAN'CIU DALL Project W41 -0 -0060 Report of Geotechnical Investigation 7.0 BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS The recommendations provided in this report are based on our understanding of the described ' project information and on our interpretation of the data collected during the subsurface exploration. We have made our recommendations based on experience with similar subsurface conditions under similar loading conditions. The recommendations apply to the specific project discussed in this report; therefore, the building loads, and any change in building, wall, or site grades, should be provided to us so we may review our conclusions and recommendations and make any necessary modifications. The recommendations provided in this report are also based on the assumption that representatives of our firm will perform the necessary geotechnical observations and testing during construction. The field observation services are considered a continuation of the geotechnical investigation and essential to verify that the actual soil conditions are as anticipated. This also provides for the procedure whereby Pacific Bell and Allied Design Group - JWDA can be advised of unanticipated or changed conditions that would require modifications of our original recommendations. In addition, the presence of our representative at the site provides Pacific Bell and Allied Design Group - JWDA with an independent professional opinion regarding the geotechnical - related construction procedures. If another firm were retained for the geotechnical observation services, our professional responsibility and liability would be limited to the extent that we would not be the geotechnical engineer of record. 18 Allied Design Group - MDA April 28, 2000 Proposed Pacific Bell Building Addition, Encinitas, CA LAwCM.

Groundwater or water seepage was not encountered. Our field geologist logged the soils encountered, and obtained undisturbed and bulk samples for laboratory inspection and testing. The borings were backfilled with the excavated materials. 'I 1, e logs of the borings are presented in Figures A -1.1 through A -1.3; the depths at Nvhi, h relativey undisturbed samples were obtained are indicated to the left of the boring logs. The key to the boring logs is presented in Figure A -2.1. The relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using t a "Crandall" sampler. The Crandall sampler is a brass -ring -lined tube with an inside diameter of 2 inches and an outside diameter of 3 inches. The number of blows required to drive the Crandall sampler 12 inches is indicated on the boring logs. The hammer used for the Crandall I' sampler weighed 140 pounds and a drop height of 30 inches was used. Tile soils are classified in the accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System described in Figure A -2.2. LABORATORY TESTS The field moisture content and dry density of the soils encountered were evaluated by performing tests on the undisturbed samples in accordance with ASTM D2216 -92. The results of the tests are shown to the left of the boring logs. Direct shear tests were performed on eight relatively undisturbed samples to estimate the stren;,th of the soils. The tests were performed at after soaking to near - saturated moisture content and at various surcharge pressures. The yield -point values determined from the direct shear tests are presented in Figure A -3, Direct Shear Test Data. y — F- U 0 cc z o N ° BORING 1 ' j. w.
