JP Morgan Chase April 29, 2010 <br /> Geofechnical Investiga tion <br /> Proposed Chase Bank Evereft, WA PSI Report No. 0704186 <br /> TABLE 2: LATERAL RESISTANCE FACTORS <br /> Soil Type ��owable Frlction <br /> CcefFlcient <br /> On-Site SILTY SAND 0.40 <br /> Granular FILL 0.45 <br /> 4.8 SLAB-UN-GRADE FLOORS <br /> Satisfactory subgrade sup�ort for lightly loddetl building floor slabs can be obtained on the <br /> undisturbed native sandy gravel, or on engineered structural fili. An 8-inch-thick layer of <br /> imported granular material should be placed and compacted over the prepared subgrade to <br /> assist as a caoillary break. A subgrade modulus of 150 pounds per cubic inch may be used to <br /> design the floor slab. <br /> Imported granular material should be crushed rock or crushed gravel and sand that is fairly well- <br /> graded between coarse and fine, contain no deleYerious materials, have a maximum particle <br /> size of 1%z inches, and have less than 5 percent by weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 <br /> Sieve. The imported granular marerial should be placed in one lift ana compacted to not less <br /> than 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D69�. <br /> Bank vault floor slabs should extend monolilhically beyond any vault doors. <br /> Vapor retarding membranes are often required by ilooring manufacturers to protect flooring and <br /> flooring adhesives. Many flooring manufacturers will warrant their product only if a vapor <br /> retarding membrane is inslalled acc ording to thP'� �ecommendations. However, vapor retarding <br /> membranes can trap and hold excess moisture when installed in rainy weather. Selection and <br /> design of an appropriate vapor barrier, if needed, should be based on discussions among <br /> members of the design ieam. We can provide additional information to assist you with your <br /> decision. <br /> 4.9 DRAINAGE <br /> We recommend footing drains be placed around the exterior of the building foundation to reduce <br /> the potential for lateral migration ef moisture into the building envelope. We recommend thai <br /> roof drains be connected to a tightline leading to storm drain facilities. Pavement surfaces an+ <br /> open space areas should be sloped such that surface water runoff is collected and routec' to <br /> suitable discharge points. We also recommend that ground surfaces adjacent to buiidings be <br /> sloped to facilitate positive drainage away from !he buildings. <br /> N=�1 7 <br />
