The site is bordered to the west by an alley, 33 d Street to the north, Broadway to the east, and <br /> future development of the remaining block to the south. <br /> Existing grade at the site ranges from approximately elevation 101 to 86 feet, sloping from west to east. <br /> Bottom of excavation varies to accommodate the proposed structure. <br /> Subsurface Conditions <br /> The geotechnical report indicates that the site soils consist of 9 to 10 feet of loose fill along the western <br /> side of the site overlaying dense to very dense glacial till. The depth of the fill layer decreases from west <br /> to east. Groundwater was not observed, but may be found in pockets within the glacial till. <br /> Along the western side of the site, including the western portion of the shoring wall location,the <br /> basement portion of the existing building is to be abandoned in place and will be filled with CDF backfill. <br /> Shoring System <br /> Cantilevered soldier piles will be utilized to temporarily shore the excavation. After pile installation, <br /> sequential lagging and excavation will be completed until the bottom of excavation is reached. <br /> Design Parameters <br /> Design earth pressures corresponding to the self-weight of soil are recommended in the geotechnical <br /> report. The design earth pressure distribution for temporary cantilevered soldier pile shoring is specified <br /> as triangular with equivalent fluid density of 30-pcf. An allowable passive resistance of 400-pcf was <br /> used, which provides a safety factor of 1.5 on the geotechnical report recommendation for ultimate <br /> passive resistance on soldier piles of 600-pcf. To account for traffic and construction surcharge, a 100- <br /> psf uniform horizontal pressure was applied, which is equivalent to approximately 350-psf vertical <br /> surcharge behind the wall. We have been notified that there will be no need to support concentrated <br /> material or equipment loading (such as a crane) that would exceed the included value. <br />
