r <br /> � � � � <br /> Logs of Test Pits 8-20-2015 <br /> 2616 Baker Ave <br /> Everett, Washington <br /> FIELD OBSERVATIONS: <br /> Site soil characteristics appeared <br /> fairly consistent throughout site. <br /> The site appears underlain by <br /> dense glacial till at about 42 <br /> inches below existing grade. The <br /> weathered unit appeared loose, <br /> but suitable bearing for spread <br /> footings was evident at about 3 <br /> feet below grade. Soils appeared <br /> looser and with less fines near <br /> downspout discharge. <br /> Existing foundation consists of 6x6 <br /> posts on pier blocks. Pier blocks <br /> were about 3 inches into the soil <br /> in the crawl space. House has <br /> settled unevenly with about 4 <br /> inches of differential settlement <br /> near the NE corner of the house <br /> by the front porch. Chimney was <br /> 10 inches into the soil and had no <br /> concrete foundation under the <br /> brick. Existing downspouts <br /> discharge onto the ground near <br /> the perimeter of the house. <br /> Addition foundations were supported <br /> on spread footings about 12 to 14 <br /> inches below existing grade. <br /> Crawl space has limited <br /> headroom, estimated at about 24 <br /> inches on average. <br /> Suitable bearing soil was visible at 3 <br /> feet below existing grade. <br /> Recommend geotechnical <br /> engineer confirm bearing prior to <br /> forming spread footings. <br /> TheGnlli Groarp- 1841_Log of Explorations � � Figure A-3 <br /> �. <br />
