Voth Brothers Construction, Tnc. E-1201-1 <br /> October 20, 1980 Page 2 <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> � nt the time this study was performed, the site and proposed <br /> building location were as shown schematically on the Test Pit <br /> _ and Boring Location Plan, Plate 1. This is based on preliminary <br /> plans by Roderick G. Parr and Associates, P.S., Inc., dated �uly <br /> • 26, 1980. <br /> � It is planned to construct a seven-story hotel and conven- <br /> tion center with a full basement for parking. The building will <br /> be about 100 feet across by 440 feet long including a single- <br /> story banquet room on the north end of the structure. The total <br /> floor area will be about 169,000 square feet. Final designs for <br /> " the facility are not complete, though at the time of our study, . <br /> construction was planned to be of concrete and masonry. Expect- <br /> ed building loads will be on the order of 16 kips per lineal <br /> � foot for perimeter footings, and 750 kips for columns� dead plus <br /> live loads. The basement finish floor elevation will be about <br /> ' " 12 feet below existing grade. An excavation of about 13 feet <br /> will be required to construct the basement level. <br /> , � If any of the above design criteria change, we should be <br /> consulted to review the recommendations contained in this re- <br /> ' port. In any case, it is recommended that Earth Consultants, <br /> Inc. be provided the opportunity for a general review of final <br /> � design. <br /> ,... <br /> FIELD INVESTIGATION AND LABORATORY TESTING <br /> Our field exploration for this study was performed on Sep- <br /> tember 17, 1980. Subsurface conditions at the site were explor- <br /> ed by drilling four borings to a maximum depth of 38 feet below <br /> the existing grade. The borings were drilled by Drilling Unlim- <br /> " ited of Olympia, Washington using a truck-mounted drill rig. <br /> Continuous flight, hollow stem augers were used to advance and <br /> support the boreholes during sampling. The locations of the <br /> ��+ borings were approximately determined by pacing from existing <br /> site features. Elevations of borings were approximately deter- <br /> mined by hand level. The locations and elevations of the bor- <br /> _ ings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by <br /> the method used. These locations are shown on Plate 1. <br /> The field exploration was continuously monitored by a field <br /> - engineer from our firm who classified the soils encountered, <br /> maintained a log of each boring, obtained representative sam- <br /> ples, measured groundwater levels and observed pertinent site <br /> features. Observation wells were installed in Borin9s B-2 and <br /> ` B-4 so that groundwater levels could be monitored. All samples <br /> were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil <br /> _ Classification System which is presented on Plate 2. Legend. <br /> Earth Consultants, Inc. <br /> �- - <br />
