• The building addition can be supported on conventional spread footings bearing on: (1) suitable <br /> undisturbed dense to very dense glacial till deposits, (2)structural fill extending to the dense glacial till <br /> deposits, or(3)at least 2 feet of structural fill. Footings supported on undisturbed dense to very dense <br /> glacial till deposits may be designed using a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 5,000 per square <br /> foot(psf). Footings supported on structural fill that extends down to undisturbed dense glacial deposits <br /> or is supported on at least 2 feet of compacted structural fill may be designed using a maximum <br /> allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf. The allowable bearing pressures may be increased by <br /> one-third for short duration loads such as wind or seismic events. <br /> • Imported gravel borrow should be used as structural fill under all building addition elements. <br /> • We recommend that perimeter footing drains be installed arolihi( ri re exterior of the building addition. <br /> The perimeter drains should be installed at the base of the l:;peter footings. <br /> • The building addition floor slab and at-grade paverm.rr areas lr, v be supported on existing soils <br /> provided that the upper 12 inches of exposed sub^r;irie is evaluate: )nd recompacted (if needed) to <br /> at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density (P;ii)D) per ASTM Inten, (ASTM) D 1557. <br /> • Earthwork should be performed in the typical dry 'ason (June through Septern';Ter)to reduce earthwork <br /> costs and to provide the best opportunity to reuse <)rrsite soils jai ring construe <br /> Our specific geotechnical recommendations are presented if i !i tollowing sections of this report. <br /> 4.1.
