CASCADE GEOTECHNICAL INC. <br />June 2, 1994 <br />Job No. 9405-02G <br />in this report. Use of the uncontrolled fill would require unusually careful construction <br />observation to avoid incorporating unsuitable material. <br />Due to the content of fines in the silty sand and silt adequate compaction may prove difficult if <br />the moisture content cannot be controlled. Under these circumstances, imported structural fill <br />which conforms to the following gradation should be imported for raising grades: <br />4 inch 100 <br />#4 25 - 75 <br />#200 5.0 maximum. Based on <br />the fraction passing the <br />X4 sieve. <br />The fill should be placed in maximum eight (8) inch thick loose life and compacted to at least <br />95 % of the maximum dry density value as determined by ASTM D 1557. <br />8.3 Foundation Placement <br />The on -site medium dense to very dense silty sand (SM) and sand (Sp), very stiff to hard sandy <br />silt (MIL), or properly placed and compacted structural fill, are suitable for the maximum safe <br />support of building loads up to 2,500 psf. Concrete continuous strip and spread footings may <br />be placed directly on these bearing soils. The in -situ uncontrolled fill and loose soils, forest <br />duff, and organic soils found at the site are not suitable for support of structural loads as <br />unacceptable levels of differential settlement would be expected. <br />With building loads up to a maximum of 2,500 psf, we anticipate total settlement under footings <br />to not exceed one (1) inch and differential settlement to not exceed three-quarters (3/4) of an <br />inch. Since the buildings will be placed on relatively coarse -grained soils, most of the <br />settlement will occur immediately upon imposition of the loads (during construction). Abrupt <br />11 <br />
