Geotechnical Engineering Report- Revised l��rracon <br /> Proposed CFT Retail Everett,Washington <br /> February 1, 2018 Terracon Project No. 81185002 <br /> The use of a vapor retarder or barrier should be considered beneath concrete slab-on-grade floors <br /> that will be covered with wood, tile, carpet or other moisture-sensitive or impervious coverings, or <br /> when the slab will support equipment sensitive to moisture. When conditions warrant the use of <br /> a vapor retarder, the slab designer and slab contractor should refer to ACI 302 and ACI 360 for <br /> procedures and cautions regarding the use and placement of a vapor retarder/barrier. <br /> 4.4.2 Construction Considerations <br /> On most project sites, the site grading is generally accomplished early in the construction phase. <br /> However, as construction proceeds, the subgrade may be disturbed due to utility excavations, <br /> construction traffic, desiccation, rainfall,etc.As a result,the floor slab subgrade may not be suitable <br /> for placement of the base course and concrete slab, and corrective action may be required. <br /> All floor slab subgrade areas should be moisture conditioned and properly compacted to the <br /> recommendations in this report and then thoroughly proofrolled with a loaded tandem-axle dump <br /> truck prior to final grading and placement of the base course. If subgrades are not accessible to a <br /> dump truck, a Terracon representative should evaluate subgrade condition by visual observation <br /> and the use of a footing probe. Particular attention should be paid to high traffic areas that were <br /> rutted and disturbed earlier and to areas where backfilled trenches are located. Areas where <br /> unsuitable conditions are located should be repaired by removing and replacing the affected <br /> material with properly compacted structural fill. <br /> 4.5 Seismic Considerations <br /> Code Used Site Classification <br /> 2015 International Building Code(IBC)' D <br /> Site Latitude 47.92061°N <br /> Site Longitude -122.22849°W <br /> Ss—Short Period Spectral Acceleration for Site <br /> Class B 1.420 g <br /> Si — 1-Second Period Spectral Acceleration for 0.545 g <br /> Site Class B <br /> Fa—Short Period Site Coefficient 1.000 <br /> F„— 1-Second Period Site Coefficient 1.500 <br /> 1. The 2015 International Building Code indicates that the seismic site classification is based on the <br /> average soil and bedrock properties in the top 100 feet. The current scope does not include a 100- <br /> foot soil profile determination. This seismic site class definition considers that soils encountered at <br /> depth in our boring continue below the termination depth. Additional exploration to deeper depths <br /> would be required to confirm the conditions below the current depth of exploration. <br /> Responsive Resourceful Reliable 13 <br />
