a <br /> October 15. 19� <br /> Pro�ect No. 8010-1 <br /> ai-w� xomee <br /> �ee a <br /> 5. All downapoute, catch baeine� or other devicea ueed <br /> to collect runoff ehould be directed into the local <br /> drainage by tight line. <br /> 6. Under no conditione ehould etructural footinga be <br /> placed to bear upon the exieting fill eoils. <br /> �, The geotechnical conaultant should inspect the ez- <br /> cavation areas for confirmation of the desired bearing <br /> soils prior to placement oY footing concrete. <br /> In the event that the depth to bearing soils should be ex- <br /> cessive� the use of a trench work system filled with leatt mix <br /> concrete may prove to be the moet feasible and economic a� <br /> proach to foundation support. The trench should be at least <br /> equal to the width of the footing and ahould be brought to an <br /> elevation 18 inches below finished ad�acent grade. The foot- <br /> inge would then be formed on the lean mix body. <br /> The wall separating the living area from the upper garage <br /> area may be influenced by horizontal soil pressures. For <br /> thia reason we suggest that the wall be nominally rei:.�:.�ced <br /> so as to resist such forces. For design purpoaes an equiv- <br /> alent fluid presaure acting upon the basement wall may be <br /> asaumed at 30 p.c.f. for a yielding wall configuration. This <br /> value presumee the uae of an effective drain system along the <br /> back aide of the wall, and does not take ir.to account hydro- <br /> static pressures. We auggest the use of a free draining sand <br /> backfill along the back side of the wall. The sand backfill <br /> should extend to within two (2) £eet of the top of the wall, <br /> and have a thicknesa of at least 12 inchea. The sand mater- <br /> ial should be underlain by a perforated tile along the base <br /> of the wall. The tile ehould be set such that a poaitive <br />
