Soil exploration logs contain material descriptions based on visual observation and field tests using a system <br /> modified from the Uniform Soil Classification System(USCS).Where necessary laboratory tests have been Rock core <br /> conducted(as noted in the"Other Tests"column),unit descriptions may include a classification.Please refer to the <br /> discussions in the report text for a more complete description of the subsurface conditions. <br /> 2. The graphic symbols given above are not inclusive of all symbols that may appear on the borehole logs. v-'-' Vane Shear <br /> Other symbols may be used where field observations indicated mixed soil constituents or dual constituent materials. <br /> DESCRIPTIONS OF SOIL STRUCTURES <br /> Layered: Units of material distinguished by color and/or Fissured: Breaks along defined planes MONITORING WELL <br /> composition from material units above and below Slickensided: Fracture planes that are polished or glossy a Groundwater Level at <br /> Laminated: Layers of soil typically 0.05 to 1mm thick,max.1 cm Block),; Angular soil lumps that resist breakdown time of drilling(ATD) <br /> Lens: Layer of soil that pinches out laterally 1 Static Groundwater Level <br /> Disrupted: Soil that is broken and mixed Cement/Concrete Seal <br /> Interlayered: Alternating layers of differing soil material Scattered: Less than one per foot <br /> Pocket: Erratic,discontinuous deposit of limited extent Numerous: More than one per foot Bentonite grout!seal <br /> Homogeneous: Soil with uniform color and composition throughout BCN: Angle between bedding plane and a plane Silica sand backfill <br /> normal to core axis <br /> COMPONENT DEFINITIONS Slotted tip <br /> COMPONENT SIZE/SIEVE RANGE COMPONENT SIZE/SIEVE RANGE Slough <br /> F- Boulder: >12 inches Sand Bottom of Boring <br /> O MOISTURE CONTENT <br /> d Cobbles: 3 to 12 inches Coarse Sand: #4 to#10 sieve(4.5 to 2.0 mm) <br /> 0 Gravel Medium Sand: #10 to#40 sieve(2.0 to 0.42 mm) Dry Dusty,dry to the touch <br /> z <br /> a Coarse Gravel: 3 to 3/4 inches Fine Sand: #40 to#200 sieve(0.42 to 0.074 mm) Moist Damp but no visible water <br /> 0_ Fine Gravel: 3/4 inches to#4 sieve Silt 0.074 to 0.002 mm Wet Visible free water <br /> 0 <br /> Clay <0.002 mm <br /> 0 <br /> J <br /> W <br /> 1riIEE Terms and Symbols for <br /> • I N C O R P O R A T E D Boring and Test Pit Logs Figure A-1 <br /> 2 Phone: 206.262.0370 <br />
