A minimum of two verification tests (200 percent design load) should be <br /> performed. Verification test anchors can be used as production anchors, provided the anchor is • <br /> successfully tested and is acceptable. The production anchors should be proof tested to one <br /> hundred thirty percent of the design load. The geotechnical engineer should observe the • <br /> anchor testing and provide documentation of the test results. Tieback anchors should be • <br /> locked-off at 90 percent to 100 percent of the design load. ID <br /> Shoring Wall Drainage <br /> • <br /> Temporary shoring walls should be provided with adequate drainage to reduce the potential for • <br /> excess hydrostatic pressure build-up. During construction, drainage occurring between the • <br /> timber lagging is usually sufficient to prevent the development of excessive hydrostatic <br /> pressures. Where permanent building walls will be constructed along the temporary shoring • <br /> walls, a sheet drain material should be installed along the face of the shoring wall. A typical • <br /> detail illustrating a sheet drain and permanent wall drainage system is provided on Plate 6 of • <br /> this study. • <br /> Shoring Monitoring • <br /> Due to the close proximity of adjacent buildings and public right-of-ways, an optical monitoring 4/1program should be implemented for this site. The monitoring program should consist of a video <br /> or photo survey prior to beginning the building excavations to document the current conditions • <br /> of the surrounding features. Initial survey points should be placed at strategic locations along • <br /> adjacent foundations and right-of-way alignments that will allow for periodic measurement • <br /> during and after the shoring installation. This will allow for efficient monitoring of the site to <br /> identify and remediate excessive deflections or excavation related movements, if they occur. • <br /> Prior to the start of construction, the geotechnical engineer, owner, and contractor should • <br /> review the project and develop a monitoring program for the site. • <br /> Following installation of the soldier piles (if utilized), monitoring points are typically established • <br /> on the top of the piles prior to proceeding with the excavation. An initial baseline reading • <br /> should be acquired prior to proceeding with the excavation. Readings should be acquired • <br /> relatively frequently during the excavation phase of the construction. The geotechnical • <br /> engineer should review the data as it becomes available during the course of construction. The <br /> monitoring program should be supplemented with periodic observations by the geotechnical • <br /> engineer during the excavation phase of construction. • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> Earth Solutions NW,LLCMI <br /> • <br /> • <br />
