Passi��c resistance may be modeled as an equivalent fluid pressure equal to <br />200 pounds per cubic foot (pc�. This is an allowable value that includes a factor oF safety of <br />at least 3. <br />9.6 Pile/Pier inspections <br />The actual total length of each pile/pier may be adjusted in the field based on required capacity <br />and conditions encountered during drilling. Since completion of the pile/pier takes place below <br />ground, the judgmen[ and experience of the geotechnical engineer or his field representative <br />must be uscd as a basis for determining the required penetration and acceptability of each <br />pile/pier. Consequendy, use of the presenred pile/pier capacities in the design requires that all <br />piles/piers be inspected by a qualified geotechnical engineer or engineeting geolugist from our <br />firm who can interpret and collect the installation data anG examine the contractors operations. <br />AESI, acting as the owner's fi^Id representative, would determine the required lengths of tt�e <br />piles/piers and keep records of pertinent installation data. A final summary report would then <br />be distributed, following cumpletion of pile/pier installation. <br />10.0 DRAINAGE CONSIDERAT[ONS <br />It is recommended that the buildings be provided widi a perimeter footing or grade beam drain <br />system. Footing/grade beam drains, with clean outs, should consisc of at least 4-inch-diameter, <br />perforated, rigid PVC pipe. If the rock trenches are not contaminated with fines, are free <br />draining, and are hydraulically connected to each other, drainage may be provided by stubbing <br />an outlet pipe into a low collection point within the rock. If the trenches are not free draining <br />or if CDF is uscd for backfill, conventional perimeter footing drains should be used. In this <br />case, the PVC pipe should be fully envclopeJ in pea gravel or washed rock and be placed <br />approximately 2 inches below tlie f�oling subgrade elevation. All drainage systems should be <br />sluped to drain by gravity to a storm water conveyance system or other suitable discharge <br />location. <br />Water from downspouts and surface runoff should be collected independendy and routed ro an <br />appropriate storm warer wmeyance sysrem. This water must not be allowed to enrer thc <br />footing drain system. <br />Alnrch 19, 200! ASSOClATED EARTH SGENCES <br />sei�.�n ne�rzv,e�� . n n�r �+o� -«:n Page l2 <br />� <br />�ti/w <br />
