Geotechnical Engineering Report- Revised l�i�rracon <br /> Proposed CFT Retail Everett,Washington <br /> February 1, 2018 Terracon Project No. 81185002 <br /> Based on our review of the Washington Interactive Geologic Map available online <br /> (https://fortress.wa.qov/dnr/protectiongis/geology/?Theme=wigm), the nearest fault to the project <br /> site is the Southern Whidbey Island fault zone approximately 21A miles west of the project site. <br /> According to the USGS, the fault age is less than 15,000 years and has been mapped as an <br /> inferred fault trace. Based on the information described above, we estimate that the risk <br /> associated with surface rupture at the site is low. <br /> The risk of liquefaction was evaluated and based on our understanding of groundwater and <br /> geology at the site, it is our opinion that the risk of liquefaction is low. <br /> 4.6 Lateral Earth Pressures <br /> The proposed site development does not indicate for a retaining wall to be built. However,temporary <br /> shoring may be necessary as construction continues. The lateral earth pressure recommendations <br /> herein are applicable to the design of rigid retaining walls subject to slight rotation, such as cantilever, <br /> or gravity type concrete walls. These recommendations are not applicable to the design of modular <br /> block, geogrid-reinforced backfill walls or rockeries. If these types of walls are preferred, Terracon is <br /> available to provide additional recommendations or design services. <br /> For active pressure movement <br /> S = Surcharge --►r 4 (0.002 H to 0.004 H) <br /> S For at-rest pressure <br /> - No Movement Assumed <br /> Horizontal • <br /> Finished <br /> Grade <br /> H <br /> Horizontal <br /> Finished Grade <br /> —p2 -p,-+I Retaining Wall <br /> EARTH EARTH PRESSURE EQUIVALENT SURCHARGE EARTH <br /> PRESSURE FLUID DENSITY PRESSURE, pi PRESSURE, p2 <br /> CONDITIONS ONDITIONS (pcf) (psf) (psf) <br /> Active (Ka) 0.28 36 (0.28)S (36)H <br /> At-Rest(Ko) 0.44 57 (0.44)S (57)H <br /> Passive(Kp) 3.5 450 --- --- <br /> Responsive Resourceful Reliable 14 <br />
