The mat foundation is 16 inches <br /> thick with thickened edge sections that are 2 feet thick. The structural design of the mat has been <br /> performed by DCI assuming support is provided solely by the CDSM ground improvement. <br /> 2.3 Geotechnical Conditions <br /> The subsurface geotechnical conditions are described in the Geotechnical Report and BOD Memo <br /> referenced above. GeoEngineers performed 21 cone penetration tests(CPTs)to depths ranging from 23 to <br /> 65.5 feet below ground surface and four borings to depths of up to 56.5 feet. The borings indicate the site <br /> is covered with an approximately 3-inch thick layer of crushed rock base course. Under the base course, <br /> the soil conditions include: <br /> FILL consisting predominantly of poorly graded sand with silt (SP-SM) and silty sand (SM) with <br /> occasional interbeds of sandy silt and elastic silt(ML to MH). The SP-SM and SM materials are generally <br /> very loose to loose.The ML/MH materials are generally soft. The boring logs show occasional wood debris <br /> within the fill. In the building areas the fill extends to depths ranging from 25 to 29 feet below ground <br /> surface. <br /> 1 The BOD Memo also mentions an option for 6 inches maximum lateral spreading displacement. However,we <br /> understand based on discussions with the design team that 2-inch criterion has been adopted for the project. <br /> 2 The BOD Memo indicates an allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 psf. However,we understand that this would <br /> have been applicable to shallow spread footings that were under consideration at the time. With the current mat <br /> foundation design,we understand based on the 4 June 2018 email from DCI Engineers that the required axial <br /> capacity is 150 kips for individual columns(isolated columns are not interlocked in panels with others). <br /> 2IPage <br />
