Geotechnical Report <br /> Proposed Development: 11229 - 1 9th Avenue SE, Everett, WA <br /> September 16, 2016 <br /> As it is not possible to observe the completed pile below the ground, judgment and experience <br /> must be used as the basis for determining the acceptability of a pile. Therefore, all piles should be <br /> installed under the full-time observation of a representative of PanGEO. This will allow us to fully <br /> evaluate the contractor's operation, collect and interpret the installation data, and verify bearing <br /> stratum elevations. <br /> Furthermore, we will also understand the implications of variations from normal procedures with <br /> respect to the design criteria. The contractor's equipment and procedures should be reviewed by <br /> PanGEO before the start of construction. <br /> 5.3 FLOORS SLABS <br /> The floor slabs for the proposed buildings may be constructed using conventional concrete slab- <br /> on-grade floor construction. The floor slab should be supported on competent native soil or on <br /> structural fill. If conventional footing option is used for Building E,the concrete slabs for Building <br /> E should be supported on a minimum of 12 inches of structural fill. <br /> Interior concrete slab-on-grade floors should be underlain by a capillary break consisting of at least <br /> of 4 inches of pea gravel or compacted 3/4-inch, clean crushed rock(less than 3 percent fines). The <br /> capillary break material should meet the gradational requirements provided in Table 3, below. <br /> Table 3 —Capillary Break Gradation <br /> Sieve Size Percent Passing <br /> 3/4-inch 100 <br /> No. 4 0— 10 _ <br /> No. 100 0—5 <br /> No. 200 0—3 <br /> The capillary break should be placed on the subgrade that has been compacted to a dense and <br /> unyielding condition. <br /> A 10-mil polyethylene vapor barrier should also be placed directly below the slab. Construction <br /> joints should be incorporated into the floor slab to control cracking. <br /> 16-210 11229 19th Ave SE Rpt Page 10 PanGEO, Inc. <br />
