Geotechnical Engineering Report-Revised lrerracon <br /> Kaiser Everett Medical Center Everett,Washington -- s--- y� <br /> December 18, 2019 Terracon Project No. 81195071 GeoReport <br /> Fill Type Recommended Materials Acceptable Location for <br /> Placement <br /> WSDOT Standard Specifications <br /> Structural and common fill should consist of approved materials free of organic matter and debris. Frozen <br /> material should not be used, and fill should not be placed on a frozen subgrade.A sample of each material <br /> type should be submitted to the Geotechnical Engineer for evaluation prior to use on this site. <br /> Material contains a high fines content that could makes this material moisture sensitive. Particles with a <br /> nominal diameter greater than about 3 in. should be removed. <br /> Fill Compaction Requirements <br /> Structural and general fill should meet the following compaction requirements. <br /> Item Structural Fill General Fill <br /> 8 inches or less in loose thickness when heavy, <br /> Maximum Lift self-propelled compaction equipment is used <br /> Thickness 4 to 6 inches in loose thickness when hand- Same as Structural fill <br /> guided equipment (i.e.jumping jack or plate <br /> compactor) is used <br /> 95% of max. below foundations and within 1 <br /> Minimum foot of finished pavement subgrade <br /> Compaction 92% of max. above foundations, below floor 92% of max. <br /> Requirements ' slabs, and more than 1 foot below finished <br /> pavement subgrade <br /> Water Content Typically within 2/o o of optimum <br /> As required to achieve min. <br /> Range compaction requirements <br /> Maximum density and optimum water content as determined by the modified Proctor test(ASTM D 1557). <br /> Utility Trench Backfill <br /> Placement and compaction of recommended materials for utility trench backfill should be in <br /> accordance with the recommendations presented herein for Earthwork. All trenches should be <br /> wide enough to allow for compaction around the haunches of the pipe. If water is encountered in <br /> the excavations, it should be removed prior to fill placement. <br /> In our opinion, the initial lift thickness should not exceed one foot unless recommended by the <br /> manufacturer to protect utilities from damage by compacting equipment. Light, hand-operated <br /> compaction equipment in conjunction with thinner fill lift thicknesses may be utilized on backfill <br /> placed above utilities if damage resulting from heavier compaction equipment is of concern. <br /> Flexible connections for utilities that pass through building foundations are recommended to <br /> reduce potential stress associated with differential settlement that may occur between the building <br /> foundation and the improvements located outside of the building footprint. <br /> Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable <br />
