SUMMARY of OBSERVATIONS: Lot 103: GeoDesign noted that the foundation excavation subcontractor had completed the footing and crawl space excavation prior to his arrival on-site.GeoDesign noted that the north,east,and south sides of the perimeter foundation generally consisted of a brown silty SAND(f-m)with gravel (f-c)which could be penetrated from 1 to 3 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe under the full weight of the user; in-place density tests taken on the north,east,and south side indicated that the material had been compacted to greater than 95%of its maximum dry density as determined by a Modified Proctor analysis. GeoDesign had previously noted that the west side of Lot 103 had consisted of a gray-brown silty SAND(f-m)with gravel (f-c)which could be probed approximately 18 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soi probe;GeoDesign recommended that the perimeter footing area along the west side of Lot 103 be over-excavated 1 foot,exposed soil compacted to greater than 95%of its maximum dry density,and backfilled to foundation subgrade with material compacted to greater than 95%of its maximum dry density.The contractor elected to over-excavate the west perimeter footing of Lot 103 approximately 2 feet and replace with a 2-inch clean crushed rock material. In-place density tests taken at the base of the over-excavated area indicated that the exposed material had been compacted to greater than 95%of its maximum dry density as determined by a Modified Proctor analysis.GeoDesign also noted that the over-excavated area was backfilled in approximately 1 foot lifts using the 2-inch clean crushed rock tampled into a firm and unyielding mass using the bucket of an excavator and compacted using a standard walk-behind plate compactor. It is the opinion of GeoDesign that the exposed foundation subgrade is currently suitable for support of the intended load. GeoDesign recommends that any surficially loose and/or saturated material be removed from the base of the footings prior to the placement of concrete. Lot 130: GeoDesign noted that the foundation excavation subcontractor had completed the footing and crawl space excavation prior to his arrival on-site.GeoDesign noted that exposed foundation subgrade generally consisted of a brown silty SAND (f-m)with gravel (f-c)which could be penetrated generally less than 1 inch using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe under the full weight of the user; in-place density tests taken on the four sides of the foundation area indicated that the material had been compacted to greater than 95%of its maximum dry density as determined by a Modified Proctor analysis.GeoDesign noted an approximately 15 feet long section on the west end of the south side and 15 feet long section along the south end of the west side which could be probed approximately 18 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe; GeoDesign recommended that the material be over-excavated 2 feet and replaced with material compacted to greater than 95%of its maximum dry density as determined by a Modified Proctor analysis;the contractor elected to backfill the over-excavated areas with a 2-inch clean crushed rock material tamped into a firm and unyielding mass using an excavator and a standard sled compactor.
