m The concrete mixture for the rigid inclusions should have a minimum compressive strength (to) at <br />28 days of 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Refer to ground improvement specifications that are <br />Included In a separate design drawing submittal for Parcel A17 for additional detalls. <br />m Rigid inclusions should be overlain by a 2-foot-Nick layer of crushed surfacing base course (CSBC) to <br />act as a load transfer pad (LTP) between the foundation elements and the rigid inclusions (compacted <br />in accordance with the geotechnical engineers recommendations). <br />m The CSBC should comply with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Standard <br />Speed cation Section 9-03.9(3), Base Course, and restrict fines to maximum 5 percent passing Number <br />200sieve. <br />52.2. Pest-Impmeemeirt RecommeMMkms <br />The rigid inclusion design layouts for Parcel A17 were developed using the same approach that was used <br />for Parcels AS, Al2, and A7, that both using diameter of rigid inclusion column of 2 feet, a required area <br />replacement ratio of 8 percent, and a minimum compressive strength of 4,000 psi. And based on our review <br />of the structural loads and the proximity of the proposed buildings to the existing bulkhead, we believe that <br />the ground improvement design calculations completed for Parcels AS, AU, and A7 will be also valid for <br />Parcel A17. Therefore, without additional ground improvement calculations, the same recommendations <br />for Parcels A8, Al2, and A7 regarding the post -improvement design bearing capacity, static and seismic <br />settlements were also proposed for Parcel A37. <br />G221. paslgn Rearing p awl y <br />We recommend an allowable bearing rapacity of 3,000 Psf with a FOS of at least 2.0 and a modulus of <br />subgrode reaction of 200 pounds per cubic inch (poll be used for the foundations bearing on the improved <br />ground. <br />G222. Stetic eM aNamlc Geltlemerrb <br />We anticipated that the static settlement will be less than 1 Inch with the implementation of rigid Inclusion <br />ground improvement, and the differential static settlements between building foundations should be less <br />than °/s Inch over a horizontal distance of 50 feet. <br />Similar to Parcels AS, Al2, and A7, we anticipate that the post -improved seismic settlements of A17 will be <br />less than about 3 inches and the differential settlement should be less than about %inch over a horizontal <br />distance of 50 feet. <br />a.223. Btllrquakslnduced lateral around pabrmatlan <br />The post -improvement earthquake -induced lateral ground deformation was estimated by pedormingglobal <br />slope stability and Newmark analyses that include the improved area with an increased overall strength. <br />With a design area replacement ratio of 8 percent and a compressive strength of 4,000 psi, the increased <br />composite strength of the improved ground was estimated as 23 ksf for the improved area for use in the <br />post -improvement global slope stability analyses. <br />As shown in Figure 8, the FOS corresponding to the slip surfaces going underneath the potential building <br />footprint is higher than 2.8, which indicates a stable post -earthquake condition after ground improvement. <br />With a stable post -earthquake condition, the post -improvement earthquake -induced lateral spreading is <br />mainly due to the deformations happening during earthquakes. <br />GEGENGINEEaS 67 Dadter21) 20m o1 Pgemm <br />
