e <br />Junc 28, 20G <br />Dssvid and Judy King <br />LX�A ]ob No. GA07G <br />Pagc 15 <br />Ticback anchors may consist of hclical anchors. f Iclical anchors :ve composcd of a Icad scction <br />and scctions of extcnsion ba�s that c:ui bc added on to the Icad section. The Icad scction is made <br />of singlc or multiple stecl hclical flights wclded onto a square steel bar. The hclical anchors can <br />be scrcwed into lhc gmund at a slanted angle with a drill hcad to seat into a firm suil strata t� <br />develop rcquircd pullout tesistance. Ilclical anchors are ce�mmcrcittlly nvailable fmm A. E3. <br />Chance Comp;u�y or All�.s Company. <br />llclical :uuhors, if uscd, should bc scatcd into the undcrlying dcnsc Gsperancc Sand or harJ <br />Whidbey fonnation deposi�s. The pullout capacity of hclical anchers is direc►ly related to the <br />torquc rcquired !o advance the anchor assemblics and the typc of soils into which the anchors are <br />installcd. Whcn seatcd into thc densc Gsperance Sand or hard Whidbcy formation deroaits, we <br />cstimatc a hclical anchor with a Icad scction uf an 8-inch und a 10-inch hr,liccs cmi dc��clop an <br />ullimatc pullout capa�iry of about 10 ton, nnd our rccommendation for thc allowablc pullout <br />capacity of such hclical picrs should not cxcccd 5 tons �xr �ach bascd on a factor of safcry of at <br />Icast 2.0. <br />13ASN:MEN'i' ANU RF,TAINING WALLS <br />l3uilding bascment ���alls restraincd at the top from lateral movement are considercd unyiclding <br />and should be Jcsigned for lalcral soil pressurc under the nt-rest condition. Retaining walls, if <br />any, unrestraincd at thc lop Gom latcral movcment, may be designcd for active soi� pressura We <br />rccommend an at-rest pressuro of 45 pef equivalent tluid density (GPD) nnd an activc soil <br />rressure of 35 pcf GPD bc uscd for thc dcsign of building basemcnt walls and reta;ning walls <br />respcctively, with Ievcl or descending backslope. For walls wilh an ascending backslope, an <br />:,dditional pressurc of 0.75 pcf per Jegrce of ir,clining nngle of backsloae should be added to the <br />aibovc design soil pressures. To countcr the above nctivc or at-rest pressar^, a passive latcrnl soil <br />pressure of 350 pcf EFD may bc uscJ. 1'his passive pressure valuc is applicable only to walls <br />with a Ievel or asccnding backslope for a horizonlal dis�ance nl i�st l.` times the w�ll height. <br />LIU & �►SSOCIATES, INC. <br />
