summary is presented for introductory purposes only and should be used in conjunction with the complete <br /> recommendations presented in this report. <br /> ■ The site is underlain by saturated loose sand that would be considered liquefiable under a design <br /> level earthquake. Earthquake induced soil liquefaction could result in 6 to 14 inches of settlement <br /> and many feet of lateral spreading.These conditions should be considered in the design of critical <br /> site structures. <br /> Is Consolidation settlement on the order of 3 to 6 inches will also result from the placement of the <br /> heavy loads associated with the soil and asphalt stockpiles.The stockpiles will induce up to 1/2-inch <br /> of settlement extending about 15 feet away from the edges of the 25-foot high stockpile locations. <br /> We recommend a 15-foot minimum setback from the toe of a stockpile to any settlement-sensitive <br /> structures or adjacent property. Site grades should also be established to accommodate this <br /> anticipated settlement, if needed. <br /> ■ The footprint if the planned soil remediation sheds and asphalt building should be preloaded and <br /> surcharged to induce as much primary consolidation settlement as possible before constructing the <br /> buildings.The preloads should be at least 25 feet high,and an additional 5-foot minimum surcharge <br /> (30 feet total)should be added to help accelerate the time rate of settlement.The surcharge should <br /> be left in place for at least 3 months or until settlement plates indicate that the desired settlement <br /> has been achieved. The existing recycled asphalt materials may be used as the preload and <br /> surcharge fill for each building footprint. <br /> Is Once the surcharge fill is removed, the lightly loaded shed structures can be supported on shallow <br /> foundations. We recommend an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 pounds per square foot <br /> (psf)for foundations bearing on a minimum 2-foot thickness of properly compacted structural fill. <br /> ■ Imported structural fill consisting of sand and gravel should eb used below the building foundations. <br /> ■ The near-surface soils consist primarily of granular fill. Portions of the fill may be suitable for reuse <br /> as structural fill on the site,however,care should be taken to separate out any layers with high fines <br /> content or fill with unsuitable organic content or construction debris. <br /> Earthquake Engineering <br /> 2015 IBC Seismic Design Information <br /> For the Delta site soil remediation facility, we recommend the following 2015 International Building Code <br /> (IBC) parameters for the maximum-considered earthquake geometric mean (MCEG) and risk-targeted <br /> maximum-considered earthquake (MCER).
