Geologic Hazard, and <br /> ISho-lsle SA1�ls Center Addition Preliminary Geotechnicd Engi:�atring Repon <br /> Everett Washingron PreGminary Design Recpmmendations <br /> IDepending on construction staging and desired performance, the crushed base cowse material <br /> may be substituted with asphalt treated base (ATB) beneath t6e final asphalt surfacing. The <br /> , substitution of ATB should be as follows: 6 inches of crushed rock can be substituted with <br /> 4 inches of ATB. ATB should be placed over a properiy compacted, native or structural fill <br /> subgrade compacted to minimum 95 percent relative densiry, and a 1'h- to 2-inch thickness of <br /> I crushed rock to act as a working surface. If ATB is used for construction access a� staging <br /> azeas, some rutting and disturbance of the ATB surface should be expected. The general <br /> I convactor should remove affected azeas and replace t6em with properly compacted ATB prior <br /> to final surfacing. <br /> � 14.0 DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS <br /> � Traffic across the on-site soils when they aze damp or wet will result in disturbance of tt►e <br /> otherwise firm stratum. Therefore, during site work and construction, the concractor should <br /> provide surface drainage and subgrade protection, as necessary. <br /> 1 Any retaining walls and all perimeter footing walls taller than 3 feet should be provided with a <br /> drain at the footing elevation. Drains should consist of rigid, perforated, polyvinyl chloride <br /> i (PVC) pipe sunounded by washed pea gravel. The level of the perforadons in che pipe should <br /> be set at the bottom of the footing, and the drains should be constructed with sufficient gradient <br /> to allow gravity dischazge away from the buildings. The perforations should be located on the <br /> � lower portion of the pipe. In addition, any retaining or basement walls should be lined with a <br /> minimum, 12-inch-Urick, washed gravel blanket, or backfilled completely with free�raining <br /> material and lined with a drainage mat, such as Mira-Drain 6000, over the full height of the <br /> ' wall (excluding the first 1 foot below the surface). The drainage mat cannot be substituted for <br /> the washed gravel blanket drain unless the entire wall backfill is free-draining. Drainage <br /> ' material should tie into the footing drains. Roof and surfacc runoff should not dischazge into <br /> I the footing drain system, but shouid be handled by a sepazate, rigid, tightline drain. <br /> � In planning, exterior grades adjacent to walls should be sloped downwazd away from the <br /> structure to achieve surface drainage. Runoff water from impervious surfaces should be <br /> � collected by a storm drain system that discharges into the site storm water system. <br /> I15.0 LA'I'ERAL WALL PRESSURES <br /> All backfill behind walls or azound foundation units should be placod as per our <br /> I recommendations for structural fill and as described in this section of the report. Horizontally <br /> backfilled walls, which aze free to yield laterally at least 0.1 percent of their height, may be <br /> designed asing an equivalent fluid equal to 35 pounds per cubic foot (pc�.
