Our proposal which follows is based on <br />a site visit aad on drawings, reports and comments by others. It <br />conditi ns may note ba asrassumedrforathe purpose of t h s rePortil <br />It is our understanding that the buildings at 2818 and 2822 ?ioYt <br />Avenue are to be reduced in size by removal of portioas along their <br />back ( westerly ) side. The building at 2818 Hoyt. is to become 30' <br />by 60' and the building at 2822 Hoyt, 46' X 60' with their front <br />and back side walls aligned. <br />Due to the settlemert of soil at the westerly portion of the lots <br />and the uncertain structural integrity of t'ze railroad tunnel <br />directly beneath the pcoperty a grid system of beams and piers is <br />proposed to reduce the loading on this area of the tunnel. <br />In our preliminary study of the proposed work cae have assumed the <br />longitudinal centerline of the tunnel is approximately directl.� <br />below the common wall of the two buildings described. It is very <br />important that the actual location of the tunnel in relation to the <br />buildings be verified. We propose this be done by a surveyor using <br />existing plans and by taking field measurements or by whatever <br />other feasible meLhod that accurately locates the tunnel. <br />We propose a concrete grade beam be installed beneath the common <br />wa11 of the two buiidings along with two other adjacent and <br />parallel grade beams. These beams, approximately 16" X 4II" and 12" <br />X 36" in cross section respectively, would be supported within the <br />interior of the buildings on spread footings. At the building west <br />wall the grade baams would be supported by a concrete girder <br />approximately 18" X 60" in cross section that distribute�' the load <br />to its reactions consisting of drilled auger cast piles oc• pie!'s as <br />recommended bf a Geotechnical Engineer. We anticipate the piies to <br />be battered approximately 1:10 and of sufficient lenght, <br />approxiamtely 60' to deliver their axial load of aoproximately 100 <br />kips to the soil below the tunnel base. <br />6628 212TH S.W. • LYNNWOOD, WASHINGTON 98036 •(200) 771-6666 <br />FACSIMILE (206) 771-u558 <br />
