,-. ,•,,� <br /> Temporarv Excavations <br /> Sloped temporary construction excavations may be used where <br /> planned excavation limits will not undermine existing structures <br /> or interfere with other construction. Where there is not enough <br /> room for sloped excavations, shoring should be provided. <br /> Rased on the subsurface conditions encountered in the testpits, <br /> it is our opinion that sloped temporary excavations may be made <br /> at slope ratios no steeper than 3/4 :1 (horizontal:vertical) for <br /> slopes up to 10 feet in height . However it should be noted that <br /> • the contractor is resposible for safety and maintenance of <br /> construction slopes. <br /> Surcharge loads should not be allowed within 5 feet of �he top <br /> of the slope or within a 1 : 1 (horizontal . vertical) plane <br /> extending up from the toe of excavation, whichever is greater. <br /> Stat� Su�nort <br /> Concrete slabs-on-grade should be supported on a minimum 6-inch <br /> thickness of free draining imported sandy gravel fill material <br /> (less than 5 percent fines) . The existing subgrade should be <br /> proof-rolled prior to placing the imported gravel fill and any <br /> soft or disturbed areas should be excavated and replaced with <br /> properly compacted fill. All sub.7rade fill should be compacted <br /> to at least 9� percent of the ASTM D1557 maximum dry density. <br /> The existing fill subgrade should be crowned for drainage as <br /> recommended below. <br /> site Drainaae <br /> A perimeter subdrain system independent of any roof drain system <br /> should be provide at or below the base of all exterior footings . <br /> The subdrain should consist of 4" diameter perforated PVC pipe <br /> embedded in at least one cubic foot of drain rock per lineal <br /> foot of drain. This system may be incorporated with the <br /> recommended basement wall drain system and should discharge to <br /> the stormdrain system or in a non-erosive manner below the site. <br />
