Quadrant 6-917-10260 <br />12 April 1996 Pepe 6 <br />preload fill material equal to at least 120 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) and taking into account <br />the settlement of the preload fill, this intensity of preload would correspond to a preload fill <br />height of B feat above finished floor elevation. The preload may induce settlements of about <br />2 to 4 inches while it is in place. The height of preload should be measured from final finished <br />floor elevation. <br />Laterally, the top of the preload fill should extend 5 feet beyond the foundation limits and <br />should be sloped down at an angle of_ 1 HA V. The western edge of the preload should be <br />located 230 feet from the eastern building line (5 feet beyond the west end of the mezzanine <br />portion of the structure). From this western edge, the preload should slope down at 51-1:1 V to <br />provide a transition. <br />We estimate that the preload settlement should be 90 percent complete after a period of about <br />30 days following completion of fill placement. The recommended preload time duration should <br />be re-evalua,•su based on settlement survey data obtained during monitoring. We recommend <br />installation of a srides of settlement plate monuments. At least 5 settlement plates should be <br />Iinstalled in the preloaded area as shown on Figure 3. In addition, we recommend at least six <br />settlement plates witicin the parking lot and fueling and washing building pads. The settlement <br />I plates should be installed immediately prior to site filling. Initial settlement plate readings <br />should be obtained immediately after placement of the plates and prior to placement of any <br />structural and/or preload fill. Readings of settlement plates should be taken by standard <br />' differential leveling to the nearest 0.01 foot, and should be taken at regular intervals during the <br />entire filling and preloading period of at least two readings every week. As the elapsed time <br />increases, the interval could be extended at the discretion of the project geotechnical engineer. <br />' 4.5 Slab -On -Grade Floors <br />The slab -on -grade floor subgrade should be prepared in accordance with the previous site <br />' preparation recommendations. The slab -on -grade should be founded on prarolled or compacted . <br />native ground or structural fill compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the modified Proctor <br />maximum dry density (ASTM:D 1557). Slab thickness should be equivalent to the concrete <br />pavement thickness described subsequently in this report. We recommend that the interior <br />floor slabs be underlain by a minimum 6-inch thickness of washed rock containing less than 3 <br />percent fines passing the U.S. No. 200 Sieve, based on the soil fraction passing the U.S. No. <br />4 Sieve, with at least 30 percent retained on the U.S. No. 4 Sieve. This granular fill is intended <br />to serve as a capillary break and working surface. An impervious moisture barrier should also <br />be placed between the capillary break and the floor slab in any areas with a moisture sensitive <br />tfloor covering. <br />4.6 Service Pits/Retaining Walls <br />The lateral soil pressures acting on retaining walls will primarily depend on the degree of <br />compaction and the amount of lateral movement permitted at the top of the wall during and <br />' after backfilling operations. If the wall is free to yield at the top an amount equal to at least <br />A <br />
