• Y <br /> designed it assuming support only from the CDSM elements and no support from the native soils between <br /> (e.g.,the slab must span between CDSM support locations). <br /> 3.4 Static and Seismic Settlement <br /> A static settlement calculation was performed using the finite element computer program Plaxis V2017 as <br /> shown in Appendix A.4. Two analyses were conducted: one axisymmetric model for the individual <br /> columns and one plane strain analysis for the rows of columns. The Young's modulus of the DSM was <br /> estimated based on Edm =300•UCS(Bruce et al. 2013). For the case of the rows,we used the effective <br /> column width of 2.64 feet. A working load of 150 kips was applied in the axisymmetric model and a <br /> working load of 56 kips/foot was used for the column row. The calculated settlement was 0.6 inches for <br /> the individual column which is less than the allowable settlement of 1 inch. For the row an applied load <br /> of 56 kips/foot was used,which is larger than the expected working loads,which generated a settlement <br /> of 1.4 inches. Scaling the load down to correspond to 1 inch of settlement(linear scaling is applicable <br /> since the model is elastoplastic and in the elastic region)results in an allowable load of 40 kips per linear <br /> foot. <br /> The building mat will be fully supported by CDSM columns and panels which fully penetrate the <br /> liquefiable soils and are embedded into very dense Glacially Consolidated Soils. Therefore settlement of <br /> the native soil will not impact the building foundation support and seismic settlements under the design <br /> earthquake are expected to be negligible. <br /> 3.5 CDSM Design Summary <br /> Our CDSM design plans and specifications are presented in Appendix B. The plan consists of a <br /> combination of shear panels and individual columns. The shear panels provide shear resistance to the <br /> building foundations. Shear panel frequency is increased where it is needed for lateral spreading <br /> resistance: in the east-west direction for the south building and in the southwest-northeast direction in <br /> southwest-facing part of the north building. <br /> At the request of DCI engineers,our plan denotes locations where dowels will be installed into the CDSM <br /> to provide shear connections between the mat slab and the CDMS. We understand this connection is <br /> needed because of reduced frictional resistance between the slab and CDSM which is caused by the <br /> inclusion of a membrane that is part of a sub-slab vapor extractions system. The dowels and their <br /> connections are designed by others and will be detailed on another plan sheet. <br /> 4.0 VERIFICATION AND TESTING <br /> Verification testing will include: <br /> 1. Monitoring of the DSM equipment and installation using a data acquisition system that will record <br /> time, depth,rig torque, crowd pressure,mixing tool rotation and grout specific gravity; <br /> 2. Collection of wet grab samples and cored samples; and <br /> 3. Uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)testing on wet grab and cored samples. <br /> The details of this program are laid out on the notes sheet in the plans in Appendix B. <br /> 5.0 REFERENCES <br /> Bruce,M.E.,Bert,R.R.,Collin,J.G.,Filz,G.M.,Terashi,M.and Yang,D.S.
