�� <br /> DAVID L. NELSON AND ASSOCIAT[5, INC. <br /> Cunsulling liry;inccring(�rnlugy <br /> September 28, 1984 <br /> Project No. 7884 <br /> Page six <br /> Alternate foundation support within this area could consist oS I <br /> drilled piers which penetrate the dense glacial soils . We <br /> would expect penetr,ation of approximately 12' to 17' below � <br /> existing grade to a�hieve pier loads of 12 to 1$ tons per pier. I <br /> Due to the existance of ground water within this area, poured <br /> in place piers may :not be acceptable unless performed in the I <br /> normally drier periods of the yearo Auger cast-in-place piles <br /> ma,y 'oe necessary to maintain an adequate pile diameter. The <br /> minimum pier/pile diameter recommended is 12 .inches. Interior <br /> slabs-on-grade would be required to be either piled with the <br /> structure or allowed to '£loat' independantly of the pier/pile <br /> supported structure . Long term settlement of fl•oa¢ing slab <br /> areas is expected. <br /> Adequate drainaga should be performed around the structure areas. <br /> We suggest the use of foundation and roof drain systems, indepen- <br /> dantly directed into the main storm dx•ain system. We suggest . <br /> the foundation drain scheme shown on the enclosed Subdrain and <br /> Backfill Scheme be utilized for all structures plaoed on shallow <br /> foundations with interior slabs-on-�rade . � <br /> Pavement Sections <br /> Site area development for the parking and access driveway areas � <br /> should anticipate adequate pavement sections due to the fine I <br /> grained nature of the on-site soils. � <br /> I <br /> During the noi�cnally drier periods of the year, we suggest that ' <br /> the pavement areas be cleared of all sur�icial organic material � <br /> and proofrollecl to determine if any soft spots occur. These <br /> should be removed a.nd replaced with suitable granular struc+.ural <br /> fill. Subsequent t;o proofrolling, a minimum 6" thick �ubbase <br /> of granular structural fill should be placed and compacted. F� <br /> minimum 4" 1;hick base of crushed rock should then be placed priar <br /> to placement of a minimum 2" thick asphaltic concrete surfacing. <br /> . ' I. <br /> i ' <br /> I <br /> I <br />
