A fuctur of � <br /> safety of 2.0 has been applied to thc passive pressure to account for reyuired movements to generate ihese <br /> � pressures. The friction coefficient docs not include a factor of safety. <br /> All�vall backfill should be�vcll compacted. Care should be taken to prevent the buildup of excess lateral <br /> � soil pressures due to overcompaction of the wall Lackfill. This can be accomplished by placing wall I <br /> backfill in 8-inch loose lifts and compacting widi small, hand-operated compactors. <br /> � Slahs-On-Grade <br /> � Slab-on-grade areas should be prcpared as recommcndcd in dic Site Preparntion and Grading <br /> subsection. Slabs should Ue supportcd on medium dense to very dense native soils, or on structural fill <br /> � extending to thece soils. \Vhere moisture contro] is a con�em,wc recommend that slabs be underlain by G <br /> inches of frec-draining coarse sand or pea �mavcl for use as a capillary break. A suitable ��apor barzrer, <br /> � such as heavy plastic shecting, should be placed over the capillary break. If slabs are poured ovzr fill or <br /> eQ�cr loose soils, we recommcnd using transitional slabs. Transitional slabs usually applicd to dm�eways <br /> or outduor slabs, and are attachcd to Uic Uuildings foundation ���ith rebar, «hile the opposite end is Gee to <br /> � move with any scldement that may occur.

Surface watcr should be collected by permanent catch basins and drain <br /> lines, and be discharged into a storm drain system.

It is good practice ro use footing drains installed at least 1 foot bclo�v the pianned finished <br /> Iloor slab or crawl space elevatiun to provide drainage for the crawl space. At a minimum, the crawl <br /> � space should be sloped to drain to an outlet tied to the drain2ge system.
