Topography of the site was relatively flat, consisting of three (3) parcels split into two levels, vacant of any man-made structures. The adjacent filii cut slopes contain vegetation such as small trees, grass and weeds. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK 3.1 Time of Gradinq: Grading operations were conducted from October 14 through November 21, 1996. 3.2 Equipment: The grading operations for the building pad and parking lot were performed by American Contracting, Inc. through the use of one (1) Caterpillar D9H track mounted dozer, one (1) Caterpillar D6H track-mounted dozer, two (2) Terex TS-24 scrapers, (1) 2000 gallon water truck and one (1) Caterpillar 12G motorgrader. 3.3 GradinQOperations: Grading within the commercial pad consisted of a cuV fill operation. Clearing of grasses and weeds was performed prior to scarifying to a depth of 12-inches, moisture conditioning to within 2.0 percent of optimum moisture, processing, and compacting to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Fill material was generated from cuts in the westem portion of the lot to bring the eastem and north em portions of the site to finish grade elevation. Fill was placed in lens thicknesses of 4 to 6-inches, thoroughly moisture conditioned to near optimum moisture content then compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. Moisture conditioning of the on-site soils EnGEN Corporation 1--- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Wests Ide City I Associates, LLC Project No. T11 07-C November 96 Page 3 was performed during the compaction process through the use of a water truck. The pad area was generally graded to the elevations noted on the Grading Plan. However, the actual pad location, dimensions, elevations, slope locations and inclinations, etc. were surveyed by others and should be verified by the Project Civil Engineer 3.3.1 Parcel 86 Erosion Repair: A previously excavated and subsequently eroded drainage channel was backfilled and compacted to original pad grade elevation. Approximate dimensions of the drainage were 350 feet x 12 feet to depths ranging from 4-feet to 16-feet below adjacent finish pad grade. The exposed bottom was excavated to remove loose material, slopewash, etc. and was observed as being found in bedrock. Fill was placed in the same manner as stated in Section 3.3 of this report and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction. 3.4 Cut/Fill Transition: Overexcavation was performed to a depth of 3.0 feet beneath finish pad elevation and to a distance of five 5.0 feet outside of the proposed structure perimeter within the cut portion of the pad. Fill was placed in the same manner as stated in Section 3.3 of this report and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. The approximate limits of overexcavation performed are delineated on the attached plan. 4.0 TESTING 4.1 Field Testin~: Field observations and in-place density testing were performed on a part-time as- needed basis during the grading operations. Where tests indicate failing results, the soils were reprocessed until at least 90 percent relative compaction was achieved in the fill areas, except in the erosion repair area where 95 percent relative compaction was required. Test locations were randomly selected in the areas receiving fill and were recorded using approximate locations and elevations as could be determined in the field. Field in-place density and moisture content testing EnGEN Corporation ':? I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I , I Wests ide City I Associates, LLC Project No. T1107-C November 96 Page 4 were performed during the placement of the fill materials during the rough grading operations in general accordance with the following ASTM test procedures: Test Method for Density of Soil and Soil-Aggregate in Place by Nuclear Methods (Shallow Depths) - ASTM D2922-81 (1990). Test Method for Water Content of Soil and Rock in Place by Nuclear Methods (Shallow Depth) - ASTM 03017-88. The test results indicate that soils were compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction. At least 95 percent relative compaction was verified in the erosion repair area on Lot 86. Test results are presented in Exhibit I in Appendix I. The locations of the in-place density tests are presented on the Rough Grading Report Site Plan in the Appendix. 4.2 Laboratory TestinQ: The following laboratory tests were performed as part of our services during the rough grading of the subject site. The test results are presented in the Appendix. 4.2.1 Moisture-Density Relationship Test: Maximum dry density - optimum moisture content relationship tests were conducted on samples of the materials used as fill. The tests were performed in general accordance with ASTM D1557-91 procedures. The test results are presented in the Summary of Optimum Moisture Content I Maximum Dry Density Relationship Test Results. 4.2.2 Expansion Index Testinq: A soil sample was obtained for expansion potential testing from the building pad area upon completion of rough grading of the subject lot. The expansion test procedure utilized was the Uniform Building Code Test Designation Standard 29-2. The material tested consisted of silty fine to coarse sand w/minor amounts of clay, which had an Expansion Index of 26 and a low expansion potential in accordance with Table 29-C of the Uniform Building Code. As a result, no special construction is required for expansive soils purposes. The results are presented in the Summary of Expansion Index Results in the Appendix. EnGEN Corporation ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I il ! I I I I I Wests ide City I Associates, LLC Project No. T1107-C November 96 Page 5 5.0 EARTH MATERIALS The natural earth materials encountered on-site generally consisted of slightly clayey silty sands. No imported soils were used on the site during the grading process. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Foundation Desion Recommendations: 6.1.1 General: Foundations for the proposed structure may consist of conventional column footings and continuous wall footings founded upon properly compacted fill. The recommendations presented in the subsequent paragraphs for foundation design and construction are based on geotechnical characteristics and a low expansion potential for the supporting soils and should not preclude more restrictive structural requirements. The Structural Engineer for the project should detennine the actual footing width and depth to resist design vertical, horizontal, and uplift forces. 6.1.2 Foundation Size: Continuous footings should have a minimum width of 12-inches. Continuous footings should be continuously reinforced with a minimum of two (2) NO.4 steel reinforcing bars located near the top and two (2) No.4 steel reinforcing bars located near the bottom of the footings to minimize the effects of slight differential movements which may occur due to minor variations in the engineering characteristics or seasonal moisture change in the supporting soils. Column footings should have a minimum width of 18-inches by 18-inches and be suitably reinforced, based on structural requirements. A grade beam, founded at the same depths and reinforced the same as the adjacent footings, should be provided across doorway entrances. 6.1.3 Depth of Embedment: Exterior and interior footings founded in properly compacted fill should extend to a minimum depth of 18-inches below lowest adjacent finish grade for the one (1) story structure. The foundations should be founded in properly compacted fill. EnGEN Corporation '5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Westside City I Associates, LLC Project No. T1107-C November 96 Page 6 6.1.4 BearinQ Capacity: Provided the recommendations for site earthwork, minimum footing width, and minimum depth of embedment for footings are incorporated into the project design and construction, the allowable bearing value for design of continuous and column footings for the total dead plus frequently-applied live loads is 2000 psf for continuous footings and 2000 psf for column footings in properly compacted fill material. The allowable bearing value has a factor of safety of at least 3.0 and may be increased by 33.3 percent for short durations of live and/or dynamic loading such as wind or seismic forces. 6.1.5 Settlement: Footings designed according to the recommended bearing values for continuous and column footings, respectively, and the maximum assumed wall and column loads are not expected to exceed a maximum settlement of 0.5-inch or a differential settlement of 0.25-inch in properly compacted fill. 6.1.6 Lateral Capacity: Additional foundation design parameters based on compacted fill for resistance to static lateral forces, are as follows: Allowable Lateral Pressure (Equivalent Fluid Pressure), Passive Case: Compacted Fill - 200 pcf Allowable Coefficient of Friction: Compacted FiII- 0.35 Lateral load resistance may be developed by a combination of friction acting on the base of foundations and slabs and passive earth pressure developed on the sides of the footings and stem walls below grade when in contact with undisturbed, properly, compacted fill material. The above values are allowable design values and have safety factors of at least 2.0 incorporated into them and may be used in combination without reduction in evaluating the resistance to lateral loads. The allowable values may be increased by 33.3 percent for short durations of live and/or dynamic loading, EnGEN Corporation (p I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Westside City I Associates, LLC Project No. T1107-C November 96 Page 7 such as wind or seismic forces. For the calculation of passive earth resistance, the upper 1.0 foot of material should be neglected unless confined by a concrete slab or pavement. The maximum recommended allowable passive pressure is 5.0 times the recommended design value. 6.2 Slab-on-Grade Recommendations: The recommendations for concrete slabs, both interior and exterior, excluding PCC pavement, are based upon the anticipated building usage and upon a low expansion potential for the supporting material as determined by Table 29-C of the Uniform Building Code. Concrete slabs should be designed to minimize cracking as a result of shrinkage. Joints (isolation, contraction, and construction) should be placed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines. Special precautions should be taken during placement and curing of all concrete slabs. Excessive slump (high water / cement ratio) of the concrete and/or improper curing procedures used during either hot or cold weather conditions could result in excessive shrinkage, cracking, or curling in the slabs. It is recommended that all concrete proportioning, placement, and curing be performed in accordance with ACI recommendations and procedures. 6.2.1 Interior Slabs: Interior concrete slabs-on-grade should be a minimum of 5.0-inches in thickness and be underlain by a minimum of 2.0 inch of clean coarse sand or other approved granular material placed on properly prepared subgrade.. Minimum slab reinforcement should consist of #3 reinforcing bars placed 24-inches on center in both directions, or a suitable equivalent. The reinforcing should be placed at mid-depth in the slab. The concrete section and/or reinforcing steel should be increased appropriately for anticipated excessive or concentrated floor loads. In areas where moisture sensitive floor coverings are anticipated over the slab, we recommend the use of a polyethylene vapor barrier with a minimum of 6.0 mil in thickness be placed beneath the slab. The moisture barrier should be overlapped or sealed at splices and covered by a 2.0-inch minimum layer of clean, moist (not saturated) sand to aid in concrete curing and to minimize potential punctures. 1 EnGEN Corporation I II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Westside City I Associates, LLC Project No. T11 07-C November 96 Page 8 6.2.2 Exterior Slabs: All exterior concrete slabs cast on finish subgrade (patios, sidewalks, etc., with the exception of PCC pavement) should be a minimum of 4.0-inches in thickness and be underlain by a minimum of 12.0-inches of soil that has been properly prepared. Reinforcing in the slabs and the use of a compacted sand or gravel base beneath the slabs should be according to the current local standards.. Subgrade soils should be moisture conditioned to at least optimum moisture content to a depth of 6.0-inches and proof compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction based on ASTM D1557-91 procedures immediately before placing aggregate base material or placing the concrete. 6.3 General: Based on the observations and tests performed during grading, the subject site in the areas noted has been completed in accordance with the project plans and specifications, the Grading Code of the City of Temecula. The graded site in the areas noted as rough graded is determined to be adequate for the support of a typical commercial structure and appurtenant facilities. Any subsequent grading for development of the subject property should be performed under engineering observation and testing performed by EnGEN Corporation. Subsequent grading includes, but is not limited to, overexcavation of the cut portion of the transition area, and any additional fill placement and excavation of temporary and permanent cut and fill slopes. In addition, EnGEN Corporation should observe all foundation excavations. Observations should be made prior to installation of concrete forms and/or reinforcing steel so as to verify and/or modify, if necessary, the conclusions and recommendations in this report. Observations of overexcavation cuts, fill placement, finish grading, utility or other trench backfill, pavement subgrade and base course, retaining wall backfill, slab presaturation, or other earthwork completed for the development of subject site should be performed by EnGEN Corporation If any of the observations and testing to verify site geotechnical conditions are not performed by EnGEN Corporation, liability for the safety and EnGEN Corporation ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ..
