CASCADE GEOTECHNICAL <br />July 6, 1987 <br />Job No. 877-3G <br />Shari Barlow and Greg Gabrio <br />Page 3 <br />Garaqe Floor <br />r <br />If the garage floor slab is placed on the uncontrolled fill found <br />at the site, long term settlement and crackinq of the slab may be <br />anticipated. If this is not aceptable, the fill should be removed <br />and replaced with a select sand and gravel material which is com- <br />pacted in twelve (12) inch lifts to 95% of the ASTM D-1557 maximum <br />dry density. <br />Foundation Wall Backfil.l <br />Where the backfill height exceeds three (3) feet, the wall backfill <br />should consist of free -draining material up to within two (2) feet <br />of the top of the wall, in order to limit lateral forces on the <br />walls. P perforated pipe drain which is bedded and backfilled with <br />pea gravel should be placed at the base of all,walls. The wall and <br />footing drain lines should be kept separate from any downspout <br />lines and all drain lines should be run to the bottom of the slope <br />with solid pipe. <br />General <br />We recommend that the soils engineer be asked to confirm bearing <br />soil when the foundation excavation is complete. <br />We expect the on -site soil conditions to reflect our findings; how- <br />ever, some variations may occur. Should soil conditions be encoun- <br />tered that cause concern and/or are not discussed herein, the soils <br />engineer should be contacted immediately to determ,.ne if additional <br />or alternate recommendations are required. <br />This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Shari Barlow <br />
