• ■ 2 inches of differential seismic settlement over a horizontal distance of 50 feet <br /> • Less than 2 inches of lateral spreading <br /> s Allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 pounds per square foot(psf) <br /> The contractor shall provide sufficient documentation and/or analysis to support the mitigation for lateral <br /> spreading for the geotechnical engineer to review. <br /> Design Constraints <br /> We understand that the Port of Everett is in the process of installing civil improvements adjacent to the <br /> project site, as discussed previously. Due to the proximity of the new civil improvements,the lateral extent <br /> of the ground improvement should be constrained to within the property line to minimize impact to civil <br /> improvements. In addition, the ground improvement program should consider means and methods that <br /> will result in no adverse impacts to existing/planned civil improvements. <br /> Preconstruction Survey <br /> A monitoring program should be established to provide early detection of deflections that could potentially <br /> damage nearby improvements. Additionally, we recommend that a preconstruction survey of adjacent <br /> improvements, such as streets, utilities and buildings, be performed prior to commencing ground <br /> improvement construction. The preconstruction survey should include a video or photographic survey of <br /> the condition of existing improvements to establish the preconstruction condition, with special attention to <br /> existing cracks in streets or buildings. <br /> • Optical Survey <br /> An optical survey monitoring program should be established to evaluate whether ground improvement <br /> construction is resulting in deformations in nearby existing improvements.The recommended frequency of <br /> monitoring should vary as a function of the stage of construction as presented in the following table. <br /> TABLE 2. CONSTRUCTION MONITORING FREQUENCY <br /> Construction Stage Monitoring Frequency <br /> During ground improvement construction Twice weekly <br /> During ground improvement construction if deformations exceed 1 inch and until <br /> deformations have stabilized Three times per week <br /> Monitoring should include vertical and horizontal survey measurements accurate to at least 0.01 feet. <br /> A baseline reading of the monitoring points should be completed prior to beginning of ground improvement <br /> installation.The survey data should be provided to GeoEngineers for review within 24 hours. <br /> We recommend that optical survey points be established on existing buildings located within a horizontal <br /> distance of 60 feet of planned ground improvement installation.The survey points located on the existing <br /> buildings should be located at an approximate spacing of 25 feet. <br /> i <br /> GEOENGINEERs May31,2017 Page 7 <br /> File No.22360-003-00 <br />
