The recommendations conreined below for undeipinning <br />the house and protecting the slopes from infiltraGon from surface waters should ptotect the safety <br />of the home occupants until more permanent corzections can be made. In addition, founding the <br />deck atructuro on pin piles placed inro bearing soil will help prouct the deck alainst uWement. <br />'fie slope appears to be highly susceptible W fu�ther slumping durin¢ earthquakes or extended <br />perioda of wet weather. The proposed pin pile underpinning will not provide adequate latecal <br />support W insure against siiding of the soll. We recommend that we be eneaged to compleu a <br />slope nability analysis and to provide recommendations for the slabilizadon of this stope. No <br />addi4onal fill should be imported onto this siu. Underpinning should protect the sttuctuce for <br />pt�ttrophic failure while the ovaall corrxHon is being planned and carria! out. This overall <br />conecdon should be undertaken immediately. Please contact us if you have any quesdon� <br />[eeardin� ihe stability of the slope. <br />The followIng recommendations are preliminary and may be altered or augmented upon review <br />of the final plans. <br />� �,. .� • u <br />We rocommend that the vertical building loads from the wooden deck additions as well as <br />vertical loads from the underpinning of the existing house be supported on two (2) inch diameter <br />steel pipe piles. The steel pipe piles should be driven W refusal with a ninety (90) pound tir <br />hammer. Pile refusal is defined as less than one (1) inch of peneuation into beatinY suii PGT one <br />(1) minute of continuous driving. Each pipe pile driven to refusal would develop two (2) tons <br />of maximum safe bearing capacity. Mficipated pile lengths wili probably range betwan four <br />
