(SDA) for Lot 24 of Parcel Map 21382, located within the Johnson + Johnson Business Park in Temecula, California. The approximate location of the subject site is shown on the Location Map, Figure 1. 1.2 Purpose/Scope of Work The purpose of this investigation was to provide site-specific geotechnical recommendations with respect to the proposed development. Our main objectives included exploring subsurface soil conditions, assessing pertinent geotechnical properties of on-site soils with respect to known information obtained during grading, and providing geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed project. Specific concerns to be addressed include differential settlement, the expansion of in-place soils, and adequate bearing capacity for the proposed structure. To accomplish these objectives, this investigation consisted of the following scope of work: 1. Investigate and log subsurface soils using two borings at depths of about 30 ft; 2. Perform Standard Penetration Tests in borings, obtain samples, and perform laboratory tests to classify and determine pertinent geotechnical properties of on-site soils; 3. Present findings, results, conclusions, and geotechnical recommendations (herein). 1.3 Background The subject site was recently graded as part of the Johnson + Johnson Business Park (Core 2), with grading control provided by SDA. Results of compaction tests are presented in Section 6.2 and Appendix C. A geotechnical investigation for the general area, including the subject site, was previously performed and reported by SDA (June 7, 1989). 2.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The proposed development consists of a commercial structure with associated paved parking and driveway areas. Based on the map provided by the Client, an irregular-shaped structure is, planned along the northeasterly portion of Lot 24, with parking provided westerly and northerly of the building. The westerly portion of Lot 24 consists of a 17:t ft high slope, and a 13:t ft high slope exists on Lot 25 adjacent to the easterly boundary of Lot 24. -5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Associates Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 lR228A 3.0 INVESTIGATION AND TESTING 3.1 Field Exploration Subsurface exploration of the subject site was performed on December 14, 1990. A total of two test borings were drilled to depths of 29 ft using truck mounted hollow stem auger drilling equipment. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on the Plot Plan, Figure 2. Logs of soil conditions encountered in the test borings were recorded at the time of e~ploration. Samples of the materials encountered were obtained at selected intervals during drilling for laboratory testing. A description of the exploration program and the Boring Logs are presented in Appendix A. 3;2 Laboratory Testing Selected samples obtained during field exploration were tested in the laboratory for soil classification and the determination of pertinent soil properties. A summary of laboratory test procedures and results is presented in Appendix B. 4.0 GEOLOGY/SEISMICITY 4.1 General The subject lot as graded is underlain by Pauba Formation sediments and artificial fill. For additional discussion of the regional and site geology and seismicity, please refer to the report by SDA dated June 7, 1989. For convenience, the site seismicity portion of that report is included herein. Please note that the subject Parcel 21382, as defined by the referenced report, is not located within any liquefaction zone nor any Alquist-Priolo Special Studies zone for fault rupture hazards as identified by the California Division of Mines and Geology. Further, although additional fault information was obtained by SDA during the grading of Parcel 21382, no known faults traverse the subject lot. 4;2 Site Seismicity (Estimated l00-year Probable Earthquake) Earthquakes that might occur during an average 100-year time period at the site have been estimated and are summarized in Table 1. The corresponding probabilities of exceedance for the magnitudes listed are approximately 63 percent during an average 100-year period (or 39 percent during 50 years). -2- ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Associates Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 1R228A TABLE 1 ESTIMATED loo.YEAR PROBABLE EARTHQUAKES AND GROUND MOTION PARAMETERS Distance 100.Year Horizontal From Site Peak Probable Ground Fault Zone (miles) Magnitude1 Acceleration2 San Andreas 34 7.3 0.09g San Jacinto 19 7.0 O.13g Whittier-Elsinore <1 6.3 0.41g 1 Wesnousky (1986), Carson and Matti (1986), and Slemmons (1982). 2 Joyner and Boore (1981), mean values. Table 1 indicates that the Whittier-Elsinore fault zone is considered capable of the highest ground motions at the site. The resultant design ground motions recommended for the site are based on 6.3 magnitude events occurring on this fault zone near the site, generating peak horizontal ground accelerations of about 0.41g. The ground accelerations were estimated based on the 50 percent exceedance curves from Joyner and Boore (1981). 5.0 CONCLUSIONS 5.1 Subsurface Conditions Based on information obtained during this investigation, the site contains both cut and fill areas. The greatest fill depth is about 15 ft in the southeasterly corner of the lot. Fill material is derived from cuts in the surrounding Pauba Formation, which are generally comprised of dense clayey sands with some gravels. The near-surface soils exhibit moderate strength characteristics when used as compacted fill, and are expected to be low to medium in el'pansion potential. 5;2 Results of Previous Grading The grading of Lot 24 essentially occurred in April and May of 1990. Field density testing was performed during this time using the Sand Cone Method (ASTM D 1556) or the Nuclear Density Method (California Test 231). The maximum dry densities/optimum moisture contents of the various fill soils were determined using the Five-Layer Method (Modified Proctor, ASTM D 1557). Compaction test locations, and field and laboratory test results are included in Appendix C. -3- "I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Associates Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 lR228A 6.0 GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 General Based on the results of our investigations, we consider the proposed development to be geotechnically compatible with existing site conditions, provided the recommendations of this report are incorporated into the project design plans and specifications. 6;2 Cut/Fill Transition Mitigation It is generally known that structures constructed over cut/fill interfaces can experience detrimental differential settlement in and around the cut/fill transitions. Since the proposed structure straddles a cut/fill interface, we recommend that the cut portion of Lot 24 be overexcavated approximately 3 ft and replaced with approved compacted fill. Overexcavation should include the entire area below the proposed structure and should extend a minimum of 5 ft beyond the outer edge of proposed footings. The intent is to provide at least 1.5 ft of reworked soil below the bottom of proposed footings. Those areas exposed during overexcavation should be scarified and conditioned per Section 6.3 below. However, it was noted during grading that some ripping in cut areas was necessary, which may again be needed during the recommended overexcavation. If this is indeed the case, it may be necessary to place a thin (about 4 in) layer of soil over scarified rock, and then provide moisture and compaction as recommended above. 6;3 Placement of Compacted Fill Prior to the placement of fill, exposed soils should be scarified to a depth of 6 to 8 in, brought to a moisture content near or slightly above optimum, and then compacted to a minimum 90 percent of the maximum dry density (as determined by ASTM D 1557). All fill placed at the site should be compacted to a minimum 90 percent of the maximum dry density, based on ASTM D 1557. Fill should be placed in loose uniform horizontal lifts of 6 to 8 in and compacted by mechanical means. Placement of fill should be observed by the Geotechnical Consultant and tested for compliance with the recommended relative compaction and moisture conditions. Field density testing should conform to ASTM D 1556, D 2922 and/or D 2937. Tests should be taken at about every 2 vertical ft and/or for every 1,000+ yd3 offill placed, or at a frequency as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. Actual test intervals may vary as field conditions dictate. Fill found not to be in conformance with the grading recommendations should be removed or otherwise handled as recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant. -4- ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Associates Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 lR228A 6,4 Shrinkage/Bulking Shrinkage or bulking due to removal and replacement of Pauba bedrock in the cut areas is e1'pected to be negligible. The above estimate is considered preliminary and may vary with depth of removal and field conditions at the time of grading. Shrinkage and bulking figures are considered to be rough estimates based on available geotechnical information, and should be confirmed in the field during grading. 6,5 Drainage Pad drainage should be designed to collect and direct surface water away from structures to approved drainage facilities. A minimum gradient of 2 percent should be maintained, and drainage should be directed toward approved swales or protected drainage facilities. Drainage patterns approved at the time of grading should be maintained throughout the life of the structures. 6.6 Foundation Recommendations The proposed structure may be supported on conventional spread footings founded on compacted fill. Based on laboratory tests and our grading in the area, the soils for Lot 24 are expected to be low to medium in expansion potential. With this in mind, we provide the following foundation recommendations: a. The net allowable soil bearing pressure is 2600 Ib/ft2; b. The minimum footing width is 15 in; c. The minimum footing depth is 18 in, measured from the lowest adjacent grade; d. An increase of 350 Ib/ft2 per additional ft of width is allowed; e. An increase of 800 Ib/ft2 per additional ft of depth is allowed; f. The maximum bearing pressure is 4000 Ib/ft2; g. Minimum reinforcement should be #4 bars, two at top and two at bottom of the footing; h. The friction coefficient (between bottom of footings and supporting soils) is 0.40; i. In lieu of using the friction coefficient (h), the allowable lateral bearing pressure is 400 Ib/ft2 per ft of depth (to a maximum of 4000 Ib/ft2); -5- <\ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Associates Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 1R228A j. A combination of friction (h) and lateral bearing pressure (i) may by used in designing lateral load resistance for short-term loads, provided the latter (i) is.reduced by 1/3; k. Foundations should be set back a minimum distance of5 ft from the top of slope easterly of the proposed structure. 6;7 Concrete Slabs Concrete floor slabs should be supported on a properly compacted subgrade as recommended in Section 6.3, Placement of Compacted Fill. The subgrade should be proof-rolled prior to slab construction if the surface has been loosened by the passage of construction traffic. The subgrade should be presoaked to 5 percentage points above optimum, or to 125 percent of optimum, whichever is greater, to a depth of 1.5 ft. If proposed floor coverings would be critically affected by moisture, a lO-mil plastic vapor barrier below the slab is recommended. This sheeting should be covered with a minimum 2 in of sand. It is recommended that slabs be at least 4 in thick (nominal), and contain minimum reinforcement of 6 x 6-W 1.4 x W 1.4 W W F. 6,8 Lateral Earth Pressures Based on laboratory test results and our experience with soils in the area, we recommend lateral (static) earth pressures as shown in Figure 3. Determination of appropriate design conditions (active or at-rest) depends on flexibility. If a rotation of more than 0.001 radian (0.06 degrees) at the base is allowed, active pressure conditions apply; otherwise, at-rest conditions govern. Walls subject to surcharge loads should be designed for an additional uniform lateral pressure equal to 1/3 or 1/2 the anticipated surcharge pressure for unrestrained or restrained walls, respectively. 6.9 Pavement Design Our recommended preliminary pavement design is based on laboratory testing, such as particle size and sand equivalent analyses, of the soils expected to exist at finished subgrade in areas to be paved. Based on these results, we estimate that subgrade soils will have a design R-Value of about 15. The Traffic Index is assumed in accordance with typical engineering practice, and is based on the presumption that traffic will consist only of automobiles, delivery trucks (2 axles) and a garbage truck (once a week). -6- \0 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Associates Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 lR228A Accordingly, we recommend the following preliminary pavement design, subject to further evaluation and/or testing: Parking and Driveway Areas 11.1. = 5.0 4 in Asphaltic Concrete 6 in Aggregate Base The top 12 in of subgrade in areas to be paved should attain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D 1557). This may necessitate the removal and proper recompaction (per Section 6.3, herein) of this top 12 in for paved areas. Crushed Aggregate Base (or equivalent) should be placed to achieve a minimum relative compaction of 95 percent (per ASTM D 1557). 6.10 Utility Trench Backfill Backfill material should be placed to attain a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent (per ASTM D 1557). Compaction by mechanical means is preferred, and care should be exercised to not damage utility lines. As an alternative, backfill may also be jetted provided the backfill consists of sandy material with a Sand Equivalent greater than 30. Jetting in trenches adjacent to footings, slabs, or slopes should be performed only under the specific approval of the Geotechnical Engineer. The walls of temporary construction trenches are expected to be stable when excavated nearly vertical, with only minor sloughing, provided the total vertical depth does not exceed about 5 ft. Shoring of excavation walls or flattening of slopes may be required, if greater depths are necessary. Trenches should be located so as not to impair the bearing capacity nor cause settlement under foundations. As a guide, trenches subparallel to foundations should be clear of a45-degree plane extending outward and downward from the edge ofthe foundations. All work associated with trench shoring must conform to the State of California Safety Code. 6.11 Construction Monitoring Geotechnical observations and testing should be provided on a continuous basis during any grading recommended for the subject site to verify design assumptions and to confirm conformance with the intent of our recommendations. -7- \\.

Associates c ae er Dixon BalJatore Construction January 10, 1991 lR228A 6.12 Sulfate Content Water soluble sulfate content of on-site soils are anticipated to be less than 0.2 percent. For initial planning purposes, the use of Type II Portland cement is recommended. Sulfate tests should be carried out on representative near-surface soils just prior to construction of foundations. Final recommendations for cement type should be provided at that time. 6.13 Seismicity The proposed structure should be designed to resist seismic forces in accordance with the UBC Section 2312, for Zone 4. 6.14 Plan Review As final grading and foundation plans are completed, they should be forwarded to the Geotechnical Engineer for review for conformance with the recommendations herein. 7.0 LIMITATIONS This investigation was performed by SDA using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar circumstances, by reputable engineers and geologists practicing in this or similar localities.

The materials encountered were continuously logged by a staff engineer and visually classified in accordance with standard methods (ASTM D 2487 & 2488). The Key to Logs and Boring Logs are presented on Figures A-O through A-2. Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed in borings at selected depths in accordance with ASTM D 1586. SPT samplers were driven 18 in, with the bottom 12 in of blow counts shown in the Blow Count/Ft column. This procedure was also followed for driving a 2-1/2 in (O.D.) ring sampler to obtain relatively undisturbed samples. The rings were placed in canisters and sealed to prevent moisture loss. Bulk samples of auger cuttings were obtained from approximated depth intervals and placed if1 polyethylene containers for laboratory testing. The locations of the borings are approximated by pacing using existing features. Boring locations are accurate only to the degree implied by the method used. \~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Logged By: location: ~ "" o o 11. , m 3 o ....

Schaefer Dixon Ballatore Construction January 10, 1991 1R228A APPENDIX 8 LA80RATORY TESTING General Soils were classified visually according to the Unified Soil Classification System. Classification was supplemented by index tests, such as Particle Size Analyses, Atterberg Limits, and Sand Equivalent determinations. Moisture content and densities were determined for selected relatively undisturbed samples. These results are shown on the Boring Logs, Appendix A. Particle Size Analyses Particle size analyses, consisting of mechanical analyses using sieves, were performed on representative samples, in general accordance with ASTM D 422. Test results are shown on Figure B-1. Atterberg Limits Atterberg Limits consisting of Liquid and Plastic Limits were determined on a selected sample to supplement mechanical analyses. The laboratory standard used was ASTM D 4318. This result is shown on Figure B-2. Expansion An expansion test was performed on a sample representative of the upper 10 ft of on-site soils. The sample was remolded and tested under a surcharge of 144 Ib/ft2 in accordance with UBC 29-2. This test result is presented below: Location Expansion Index Expansion Potential B-1 @ 3-6 ft 50 Low to Medium Sand Equivalent A sand equivalent test was performed on a representative sample to supplement visual classifications and mechanical analyses. The laboratory standard used was ASTM D 2419.

The laboratory standard used was ASTM D 1557 (Five-Layer Method). This test result is presented below: Location Optimum Moisture (percent) Maximum Dry Density (lb 1ft 3) 10.0 B-1 @ 3-5 ft 131.2 Direct Shear Direct shear strength tests were performed on samples considered representative of on-site soils. The specimens were remolded to approximately 90 percent of the maximum dry density, then saturated and tested in accordance with ASTM D 3080. These test results are presented on Figure B-3. Consolidation Consolidation tests were performed on undisturbed samples to determine compressibility characteristics of on-site soils. The sample was saturated near the beginning of the test to simulate possible adverse field conditions. These results are shown on Figures B-4 and B-5. ~ I I I I I I I I I I I~ H (/) (/) <I D. ....
