stopped to detertninc thc cause of thc movement and to establish thc type and extent of rcmedial measurcs <br /> rcquired. <br /> TEMPORARY DEWATERING <br /> Perched groundw�ater was obscrved between about 12 and 23 feet below the ezisting ground surface. The <br /> static groundwater level is located below the planned base of the excavation, based on the boring data, <br /> site location,and thc naWrc of the soils at the sire. <br /> For planning pu�oses, we mcommend the contractor plan to use sumps and pumps located within the <br /> excavation for iemporary dew�atering. IC nccessary, a 6- to 12-inch-thick granular working pad consisting <br /> of crushed rock, quarry spalls, or the contractor's preferred material can be ased if <br /> groundwater/stortnwater needs to be managcd throughout the interior oC the site. <br /> SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS <br /> We recommend that convcntional sprcad footings be a minimum oC 36 inches wide and that continuous <br /> wall footings bc a minimwn of 18 inchcs widc. Extcrior footings should be foundcd a minimum of <br /> I8 inches bclow thc lowcst adjaccnt gradc. Intcrior footings should be founded a minimum of 12 inches <br /> bclow top otslab. <br /> Shallow sprcad footings may be foundcd on structural fill, glacially consolidated soils, or on a layer af <br /> crushed rock overlying thesc soils. A higher bearing pressurc can be achieved whcrc footings are <br /> founded on densc to vcry dcnsc outwash, glacial till, or on crushed rock ovttlyins these soils. <br /> Recommcnded bcaring pressures (or varying sitc conditions arc presented bclow. <br /> We expect that a portion of thc footings will necd to extcnd through exis[ing fill ro comperent glacial soils <br /> or be founded on slructural fill (particularly in thc central site arca whcrc the approximate 20-foot deep <br /> sewer pipe is located). Irootings bcaring on swcwral fill soils (fill placed or compacted in place to the <br /> minimwn standard) may bc proportioncd using an allowablc bcaring valuc of 4,000 psf. Whcre foundcd <br /> on undisturbcd mcdium dense to dense outwash dcposits (typically cncountered at Elevation 107 fect), <br /> sprcad footings may be proportioned using an allowable bcaring valuc of 6,000 psf. Deep (ootings <br /> founded mi undisturbcd glacial till (anticipatcd below Elcvation 100 to 103 fcet) may be proportioned <br /> using an allowable bearing �•aluc of 10,(N10 psC All existing fill must bc rcmoved from bclow planned <br /> foundalions. <br /> EsBmaMd Settlement <br /> Wc cstimare that thc sctticmcnt of continuous strip and isolatcd coiumn footings will be on thc ordcr of <br /> '/s to '/. inchcs. Thc scldements should occur rapidly after applying load to the footings due to the <br /> granular nature of the bearing soils. Wc estimate differcntial scnlcmcnt between comparably <br /> loadcd footings foundcd on similar soil will bc on thc ordcr of onc-half thc lotal scnlemcnt. Additional <br /> ditTercntial settlement may occur betwecn footings supporiing diffcrcnt loads or between footings <br /> undcrlain by dilTcrcnt subgradc soils. <br /> Thc allowablc bcaring valucs prescntcd above apply to the total of dcad and long-tcrtn live loads <br /> cxclusi��c of Ihc wcight of the footing and any ovedying backfill. An increase in thcse values of one-third <br /> may bc uscd whcn coiuidcring�aind or scismic loading. <br /> Flk�n. l?u:-nnl-on Pogc 10 G[OENc�N[El�s� <br /> lunr/._'00.1' <br /> �y <br />
