1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Presented below is a brief summary of the conclusions and recommendations of this
investigation. Since this summary is not all inclusive, it should be read in complete
context with the entire report.
Site Preparation
• The existing sparse to moderate vegetation at the ground surface should be
stripped and removed from the site. No significant topsoil was encountered at the
boring locations.
• The near surface soils at this site consist of very dry, loose sands. These soils
possess a potential for moderate collapse when exposed to moisture infiltration.
• The soils within the proposed building area should be overexcavated to a depth of 2
feet below existing grade and at least 2 feet below proposed pad grade.
• The overexcavation subgrade soils should be evaluated by the geotechnical
engineer to verify their suitability for new fill placement. The resulting subgrade soils
should be scarified, thoroughly moisture conditioned (flooded) and surface
compacted with a heavy vibratory roller to further densify the underlying soils in-
place.
Building Foundations
• Conventional Shallow Foundations supported in newly placed compacted fill.
• 2,500 psf maximum allowable soil bearing pressure.
• Reinforcement consisting of at least two (2) No. 5 rebars (1 top and 1 bottom) in
strip footings; additional reinforcement may be necessary for structural
considerations.
Building Floor Slab
• Conventional Slab -on -Grade, 4 -inch minimum thickness.
• Standard Jack in the Box floor slab, incorporating Fibermesh® reinforcement is
considered suitable, subject to the design of the structural engineer.
Pavements
• Asphaltic Concrete:
• Auto Parking Stalls: 3 inches asphaltic concrete over 2 inches aggregate base.
• Auto Drive Lanes: 3 inches asphaltic concrete over 4 inches aggregate base.
• Portland Cement Concrete (PCC):
• Autos Only: 5 inches PCC over compacted subgrade.
• Truck Lanes: 6 inches PCC over compacted subgrade.

2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of services performed for this project was in accordance with our Proposal
No. 99P230, dated September 14, 1999. The scope of services included a visual site
reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, laboratory testing and geotechnical
engineering analysis. These data were used to provide criteria for the design of the
building foundations, building floor slabs, and parking lot pavements. Also included in
this report are site preparation recommendations and construction considerations for
the proposed development. The evaluation of environmental aspects of this site was
beyond the scope of services for this geotechnical investigation.

3.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Site Conditions
The subject site is located at the northwest corner of Highway 111 and Depot Drive.
The subject site is an outlot of a larger shopping center located at the northwest corner
of Highway 111 and Jefferson Street. This shopping center is anchored by a Home
Depot store. The site is bounded to the north and west by vacant properties, to the
east by Depot Drive and to the south by Highway 111. The general location of the site
is illustrated on the Site Location Map, included as Plate 1 in Appendix A.
The subject site is a generally rectangular parcel with overall dimensions of 230± feet
by 146± feet. The site is presently vacant with no signs of previous development.
Ground surface cover generally consists of exposed soil with very sparse native grass
and weed growth. However, moderate vegetation is present along Highway 111
including several trees as well as smaller shrubs, bushes and grass. The surficial soils
throughout most of the site are in a very dry and very loose condition.
' Detailed topographic information was not available at the time of this report. Visually,
site topography consists of relatively level terrain. The eastern two-thirds of the site
dips slightly downward to the east, towards Depot Drive, whereas the western one-third
of the site is 1 to 3 feet lower than the east, and drains to the west. The south or front
portion of the site is slightly elevated above the remaining portion of the site, and may
' have been previously filled.
3.2 Proposed Development
Information regarding the proposed development has been obtained from a preliminary
' site plan provided by the client. This plan indicates that the proposed development will
consist of a new single -story restaurant identified as the MK -813F68 prototype, which is
2,868 ft2 in size. This rectangular building will have overall dimensions of 37 by 79±
' feet. The proposed structure will be of wood -frame or masonry block construction, and
is typically supported on a shallow foundation system.
' Detailed grading plans are not currently available. We have assumed that the finished
floor elevation of the new structure will be within 3± feet of existing site grades. Based
on this assumption, cuts and fills of less than 3± feet will be required to achieve the new
site grades. However, these estimates are exclusive of site preparation and
overexcavation requirements. We should be notified if the proposed site grades are
' modified significantly. from those stated above, since revision to the geotechnical
recommendations may be appropriate.

4.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
4.1 Scope of Exploration/Sampling Methods
The subsurface exploration conducted for this project consisted of five (5) borings
advanced to depths of 5 to 15± feet below currently existing site grades.
The borings were logged during drilling by a member of our staff. The borings were
' advanced with hollow -stem augers. Due to the very loose consistency of the surficial
soils, a track mounted limited access rig was required to gain access to the boring
locations.
Representative bulk and in-situ soil samples were taken during drilling. Relatively
undisturbed in-situ samples were taken with a split barrel "California Sampler"
containing a series of one inch long, 2.416± inch diameter brass rings. This sampling
method is described in ASTM Test Method D-3550. In-situ samples were also taken
using a 1.4± inch inside diameter split spoon sampler, in general accordance with
ASTM D-1586. Both of these samplers are driven into the ground with successive
blows of a 140 -pound weight falling 30 inches. The blow counts obtained during driving
are recorded for further analysis. Bulk samples were collected in plastic bags to retain
' their original moisture content. The relatively undisturbed ring samples were placed in
molded plastic sleeves that were then sealed and transported to our laboratory.
' The approximate locations of the borings are indicated on the Boring Location Plan,
included as Plate 2 in Appendix A of this report. The Boring Logs, which illustrate the
conditions encountered at the boring locations, as well as the results of some of the
' laboratory testing, are included in Appendix B.
' 4.2 Geotechnical Conditions
A layer of possible fill soil was encountered at boring B-5, drilled near the southeastern
' corner of the property. This layer of possible fill consists of loose light gray fine sand
extending to a depth of 2± feet. The remainder of the boring locations encountered
' native soils, comprised of light gray fine sands with trace silt extending to depths of 15±
feet. Samples of the sands encountered at depths of 10 to 15 feet possess slightly
higher silt contents. Nearly all of the recovered samples are in a dry to very dry
condition.
The soil samples recovered during the performance of the geotechnical investigation
' were classified in the field by a staff engineer, and again in the laboratory by a principal
engineer. During these two procedures, we did not detect any odors or discolorations

that were considered indicative of the presence of VOCs or other hazardous materials
within the samples.
Free water was not encountered during the drilling of any of the five borings. In
addition, delayed readings did not measure any water within the open boreholes.
Based on the lack of free water within the borings and the moisture contents of the
recovered soil samples, the static groundwater table is considered to have existed at a
depth in excess of 15± feet.

5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
The soil samples recovered from the subsurface exploration were returned to our
laboratory for further testing to determine selected physical and engineering properties
of the soils. The tests are briefly discussed below. It should be noted that the test
results are specific to the actual samples tested, and variations could be expected at
other locations and depths.
Classification
All recovered soil samples were classified using the
(USCS), in accordance with ASTM D-2488.
supplemented with additional visual classifications
USCS classifications are shown graphically on the
referenced throughout this report.
In-situ Density and Moisture Content

Boring Logs and are periodically
The density has been determined for selected relatively undisturbed ring samples.
These densities were determined in general accordance with the method presented in
ASTM D-2937. The results are recorded as dry unit weight in pounds per cubic foot.
The moisture contents are determined in accordance with ASTM D-2216, and are
expressed as a percentage of the dry weight. These test results are presented on the
Boring Logs.
' Consolidation
Selected soil samples have been tested to determine their consolidation potential, in
' accordance with ASTM D-2435. The testing apparatus is designed to accept either
natural or remolded samples in a one -inch high ring, approximately 2.416 inches in
diameter. Each sample is then loaded incrementally in a geometric progression and the
' resulting deflection is recorded at selected time intervals. Porous stones are in contact
with the top and bottom of the sample to permit the addition or release of pore water.
The samples are typically inundated with water at an intermediate load to determine
their potential for collapse or heave. The results of the consolidation testing are plotted
on Plates C-1 through C-4 in Appendix C of this report.

Soluble Sulfates
Representative samples of the 'near -surface soils have been submitted to a
subcontracted analytical laboratory for determination of soluble sulfate content. Soluble
sulfates are naturally present in soils, and if the concentration is high enough, can result
in degradation of concrete which comes into contact with these soils. The results of the
soluble sulfate testing are not yet available. These test results, an recommendations
for any sulfate -resistant concrete mix designs that may be necessary, will be presented
in an addendum report.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of our field exploration, laboratory testing and geotechnical
analysis, the proposed development is considered feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. The recommendations contained in this report should be taken into the
design, construction, and grading considerations. The recommendations are
contingent upon all grading and foundation construction activities being monitored by
the geotechnical engineer of record. The Grading Guide Specifications, included as
Appendix D, should be considered part of this report, and should be incorporated into
the project specifications. The contractor and/or owner of the development should
bring to the attention of the geotechnical engineer any conditions that differ from those
stated in this report, or which may be detrimental for the development.
6.1 Seismic Design Considerations
Faulting and Seismicity
Research of available maps indicates that the subject site is not located within an
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Therefore, the possibility of significant fault
rupture on the site is considered to be low.
' Seismic Design Parameters
The proposed development must be designed in accordance with the requirements of
the latest edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). The 1997 UBC Design
Parameters have been generated using UBCSEIS, a computer program published by
' Thomas F. Blake (January 1998). A copy of the output generated from this program is
included in Appendix E of this report. Based on this output, the following parameters
may be utilized for the subject site:

Liquefaction is the loss of strength in generally cohesionless, saturated soils when the
pore -water pressure induced in the soil by a seismic event becomes equal to or
exceeds the overburden pressure. The primary factors which influence the potential for
liquefaction include groundwater table elevation, soil type and grain size characteristics,
relative density of the soil, initial confining pressure, and intensity and duration of
ground shaking. The depth within which the occurrence of liquefaction may impact
surface improvements is generally identified as the upper 40 feet below the existing
ground surface. Liquefaction potential is greater in saturated, loose, poorly graded fine
sands with a mean (d50) grain size in the range of 0.075 to 0.2 mm (Seed and Idriss,
1971). Clayey (cohesive) soils or soils which possess .clay particles (d<0.005mm) in
excess of 20 percent (Seed and Idriss, 1982) are generally not considered to be
susceptible to liquefaction, nor are those soils which are above the historic static
groundwater table.
The subsurface conditions encountered at the subject site are not conducive to
liquefaction. The static water table in this area is considered to exist at a depth in
excess of 50± feet. Furthermore, the site is not located within a Liquefaction Hazard
Zone, as determined by the County of Riverside. Therefore, liquefaction is not
considered to be a significant design concern for this project.
6.2 Geotechnical Design Considerations
I
General
1
The subject site is generally underlain by very loose to medium dense native sands
within the upper 10± feet. The relative density of these soils generally increases with
depth although the moisture contents remain low to a depth of at least 10± feet. The
upper portion of these native sands generally possess unfavorable consolidation
characteristics and therefore remedial grading will be required to provide a building pad
suitable for support of the proposed structure. This remedial grading will also add
moisture to the building 'pad subgrade soils, thereby increasing the stability of
excavations for foundations or utilities.
ISettlement
The results of the consolidation/collapse testing indicate that the near surface native
soils possess a moderate potential for collapse when exposed to moisture infiltration.
The collapse potential of the native soils generally decreases with depth and therefore
complete removal of the dry sands is not considered warranted. However, the
presence of these soils will necessitate remedial grading in the foundation and floor
slab areas of the proposed structure. Following completion of the recommended
grading, the post -construction settlements are expected to be within tolerable limits.

' Expansion
The near -surface on-site soils consist of sands and silty sands. These soils have been
' visually classified, as very low expansive. Therefore, no design considerations relative
to expansive soils are considered necessary for this project.
' 6.3 Site Grading Recommendations
The grading recommendations presented below are based on the subsurface
' conditions encountered at the boring locations and our understanding of the proposed
development. We recommend that all grading activities be completed in accordance
' with the Grading Guide Specifications included as Appendix D of this report, unless
superseded by site specific recommendations presented below.
' Site Stripping and Demolition
Initial site preparation should consist of stripping of surficial vegetation as well as any
surficial organic materials. Based on conditions encountered at the time of the
subsurface exploration, stripping of sparse to moderate native grass and weed growth
is expected to be necessary throughout the site. Additional stripping and removal of
trees, including tree root balls, may be necessary along the southern property line
where landscaping has been installed. It should also be noted that significant growth of
vegetation and/or the development of a topsoil horizon could develop between the time
' of this report and the start of grading operations. The actual extent of site stripping
should be determined in the field by the geotechnical engineer, based on the organic
content and stability of the -materials encountered.
' Treatment of Existinq Soils: Building Pad
' The proposed building area is underlain by dry native sands extending to depths of 10±
feet. The surficial portion of these soils is very loose although the relative density
generally increases with depth. Based on the results of the collapse testing, and to
provide stability for foundation and utility excavations, it is recommended a portion of
' these existing native soils be removed and replaced as compacted fill. It is also
recommended that surface compaction techniques be utilized to further densify the
' remaining soils.
Based on conditions encountered at the boring locations, it is recommended the
' existing soils within the proposed building area be overexcavated to a depth of 2 feet
below existing grade. The depth of overexcavation should also extend to a depth of at
least 2 feet below the proposed building pad subgrade elevation.
Southern California Geotechnical Jack in the Box—La Quinta, CA
Project No. OOG219-1
Page 10
1
t The overexcavation of the building pad should extend at least 5 feet beyond the edge
of the perimeter foundations, and to an extent equal to the depth of fill below foundation
bearing grade. If the proposed structure incorporates any exterior columns (such as for
' a canopy or overhang) the area of overexcavation should also encompass these areas.
After completion of the overexcavation within the proposed building area, it is
recommended that the exposed subgrade soils be thoroughly flooded and
surface compacted using a heavy vibratory roller. It is recommended that vibratory
roller capable of exerting at least 10 to 12 tons of static load be utilized for this process.
' After the subgrade soils have been thoroughly moisture conditioned (flooded), the
vibratory roller should be used to make at least five passes over the entire building pad,
in both perpendicular directions. Due to the very low in-situ moisture content of the
' existing subgrade soils, it is expected that additional moisture conditioning will be
necessary throughout the surface compaction process. The effect of the moisture
conditioning and surface compaction should be verified by a representative of the
' geotechnical engineer. Depending upon the results of this evaluation, additional
moisture conditioning and/or surface compaction may be required. In addition, density
tests should be taken at the completion of compaction to verify that at least 90 percent
' of the ASTM D1557 maximum dry density has been achieved throughout the building
area.
Treatment of Existing Soils: Parking Areas
Based on economic considerations, overexcavation of the low strength, collapsible soils
' in the new parking areas is not considered warranted, with the exception of areas
where lower strength soils are identified by the geotechnical engineer during grading.
Subgrade preparation in the new parking areas should initially consist of removal of all
' soils disturbed during stripping operations. The geotechnical engineer should then
evaluate the subgrade to identify any areas of additional unsuitable soils. The
subgrade soils within the proposed parking area should then be thoroughly
' moisture conditioned and surface compacted in manner similar to that previously
recommended for the proposed building area.
' Fill Placement
• Prior to placement of any new fill, all subgrade soils should be scarified,
' thoroughly moisture conditioned to at least 2 to 4 percent above optimum and
recompacted.
• Fill soils should be placed in thin (6± inches), near -horizontal lifts, moisture
' conditioned to 2 to 4 percent above optimum moisture content, and
compacted.
' . On-site soils may be used for fill provided they are cleaned of any debris to
the satisfaction of the geotechnical engineer.
• All grading and fill placement activities should be completed in accordance
' with the requirements of the Uniform Building Code and the requirements of
the City of La Quinta.
' Southern California Geotechnical Jack in the Box—La Quinta, CA
Project No. OOG219-1
Page 11

' • All fill soils should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM D-1557
maximum dry density. Fill soils should be well mixed.
• Compaction tests should be performed periodically by the geotechnical
engineer as random verification of compaction and moisture content. These
tests are intended to aid the contractor. Since the tests are taken at discrete
locations and depths, they may not be indicative of the entire fill and therefore
should not relieve the contractor of his responsibility to meet the job
specifications.
Imported Structural Fill
All imported structural fill should consist of very low to non -expansive, well graded soils.
Additional specifications for structural fill are presented in the Grading Guide
Specifications, included as Appendix D.
1
Utility Trench Backfill
In general, all utility trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
ASTM D-1557 maximum dry density. As an alternative, a clean sand (minimum Sand
Equivalent of 30) may be placed within trenches and flooded in place. Compacted
trench backfill should conform to the requirements of the local grading code, and more
restrictive requirements may be indicated by the City of La Quinta. All utility trench
backfills should be witnessed by the geotechnical engineer. The trench backfill soils
should be compaction tested where possible; probed and visually evaluated elsewhere.
Utility trenches which parallel a footing,
from the outside edge of the footing
compacted to at least 90 percent of the
should not be used for these trenches.
6.4 Construction Considerations
Excavation Considerations
and extending below a 1h:1v plane projected
should be backfilled with structural fill soils,
ASTM D-1557 standard. Pea gravel backfill
All excavation activities on this site should be conducted in accordance with Cal -OSHA
regulations. Based on the presence of loose, predominantly granular soils throughout
the site, moderate caving of shallow excavations is expected to occur. Flattened
excavation slopes may be sufficient to mitigate caving of shallow excavations. Deeper
excavations may require some form of external stabilization such as shoring or bracing.
Frequent moisture conditioning of the on-site soils will also improve excavation
stability characteristics.

' Groundwater
Based on the water levels measured in the borings and the moisture contents of the
recovered soil samples, the water table is considered to exist at a depth in excess of 15
feet below grade. Therefore, groundwater is not expected to impact the proposed
grading activities.
6.5 Foundation Design and Construction
Based on the preceding grading recommendations, it is assumed that the new building
pad area will be underlain by newly placed structural fill soils used to replace the
existing variable strength, collapsible soils. These new fill soils are expected to extend
to a depth of at least 2 feet below proposed building pad grade, underlain by additional
soils that have been surface compacted in-place, as verified by the geotechnical
engineer. Based on this subsurface profile, the proposed structure may be supported
on a conventional shallow foundation system.
Foundation Design Parameters
New shallow spread footings may be designed as follows:
•- Maximum, net allowable soil bearing pressure: 2,500 Ibs/ft2
• Minimum wall/column footing width: 14 inches/24 inches
• , Minimum longitudinal steel reinforcement within strip footings: Two (2) No. 5
rebars (1 top and 1 bottom).
Minimum foundation embedment: 1.2 inches into suitable structural fill soils,
and at least 18 inches below adjacent exterior grade. Interior column footings
may be placed immediately beneath the floor slab.
The allowable bearing pressures presented above may be increased by 1/3 when
considering short duration wind or seismic loads. The minimum steel reinforcement
recommended above is based on geotechnical considerations; additional reinforcement
may be necessary -for structural considerations. The actual design of the foundations
should be determined by the structural engineer.

' Foundation Construction
The foundation subgrade soils should be evaluated at the time of overexcavation, as
' discussed in Section 6.3 of this report. It is further recommended that the foundation
subgrade soils be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer immediately prior to steel or
concrete placement. Soils suitable for direct foundation support should consist of newly
' placed structural fill, compacted to at least 90 percent of the ASTM D-1557 maximum
dry density. Any unsuitable materials should be removed to a depth of suitable bearing
native soils/compacted structural fill, with the resulting excavations backfilled with
compacted fill soils. As an alternative, lean concrete slurry (500 to 1,500 psi) may be
used to backfill such isolated overexcavations.
The foundation subgrade soils should also be properly moisture conditioned to 2 to 4
percent above the Modified Proctor optimum, to a depth of at least 12 inches below
bearing grade. Since it is typically not feasible to moisture condition foundation
subgrade soils that have become excessively dried during construction, the
foundation and floor slab subgrade soils should be kept moist throughout the
grading process.
Estimated Foundation Settlements
Post -construction total and differential settlements of a conventional shallow foundation
system designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations of this
report are estimated to be less than 1.0 and 0.5 inches, respectively. The differential
movements are assumed to occur over a 20 -foot span, resulting in an angular distortion
on the order of 0.002 inches per inch. This deflection is considered within tolerable
limits for the proposed structure, subject to the determination of the structural engineer.
Lateral Load Resistance
Lateral load resistance will be developed by a combination of friction acting at the base
of foundations and slabs and the passive earth pressure developed by footings below
grade. The following friction and passive pressure may be used to resist lateral forces:
• Passive Earth Pressure: 300 lbs/ft'
• Friction Coefficient: 0.35
A one-third increase in these values may be used for short duration wind or seismic
loads. When combining friction and passive resistance, the passive pressure
component should be reduced by one-third. These values assume that footings will be
poured directly against suitable compacted structural fill. The maximum allowable
passive pressure is 2500 Ibs/ftz.

6.6 Floor Slab Design and Construction
Subgrades which will support new floor slabs should be prepared in accordance with
the recommendations contained in the Site Grading Recommendations section of this
report. Based on the anticipated grading which will occur at this site, the floor of the
new structure may be constructed as a conventional slab -on -grade supported on newly
placed structural fill, used to replace the existing loose, potentially collapsible soils that
were encountered in the building area. These new fill soils are expected to extend to a
depth of at least 3 feet below finished pad grade. Based on geotechnical
considerations, the floor slab may be designed as follows:
• Minimum slab thickness: 4 inches
•
Minimum slab reinforcement: Not required for geotechnical considerations;
the standard Jack in the Box floor slab design using Fibermesh®
reinforcement is considered suitable. The actual floor slab reinforcement
should be determined by_ the structural engineer, based on the imposed
loading.
• Slab underlayment: 10 -mil vapor barrier, overlain by 2 inches of clean sand.
Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are not anticipated, the vapor
barrier and 2 -inch layer of sand may be eliminated.
' . Moisture condition the floor slab subgrade soils to 2 to 4 percent above
optimum moisture content, to a depth of 12 inches.
' • Proper concrete curing techniques should be utilized to reduce the potential
for slab curling or the formation of excessive shrinkage cracks.
' The actual design of the floor slabs should be completed by the structural engineer to
verify adequate thickness and reinforcement.
' 6.7 Pavement'Design Parameters
+ Site preparation in the pavement area should be completed as previously
recommended in the Site Grading Recommendations section of this report. The
subsequent pavement recommendations assume proper drainage and construction
' monitoring, and are based on either PCA or CALTRANS design parameters for a
twenty (20) year design period. However, these designs also assume a routine
pavement maintenance program to obtain the anticipated 20 -year pavement service
' life.

Pavement Subgrades
It is anticipated that the new pavements will be supported on the existing possible fill
and native soils that consist of fine to medium sand, or similar imported materials.
These soils are considered to possess good pavement support characteristics, with
estimated R -values of 50 to 70. Since R -value testing was not included in the scope of
services for this project, the subsequent pavement design is based upon an assumed
R -value of 50. Any fill material imported to the site should have support characteristics
equal to or greater than that of the on-site soils and be placed and compacted under
engineering controlled conditions. It may be desirable to perform R -value testing after
the completion of rough grading to verify the R -value of the as -graded parking
subgrade. If the subgrade soils possess higher R -values, a thinner pavement section
could be utilized.
Asphaltic Concrete
Presented below are the recommended thicknesses for new flexible pavement
structures consisting of asphaltic concrete over a granular base. An alternate
pavement section has been provided for use in parking stall areas due to the
anticipated lower traffic intensity in these areas. However, truck traffic must be
excluded from areas where the thinner pavement section is used; otherwise premature
pavement distress may occur. The pavement designs are based on the traffic indices
(TI's) indicated. The client and/or civil engineer should verify that these TI's are
representative of the anticipated traffic volumes.

The aggregate base course should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the ASTM D-

percent of the Marshall maximum density, as determined by ASTM D-2726.

IPortland. Cement Concrete
' The preparation of the subgrade soils within Portland cement concrete pavement areas
should be performed as previously described for proposed asphalt pavement areas.
The minimum recommended thicknesses for the Portland Cement Concrete pavement
sections are as follows:
• Automobile Parking and Drive Areas
' 5 inches Portland Cement Concrete over
12 inches compacted subgrade (95% minimum compaction)
• Truck Traffic Areas (TI = 6.0)
6 inches Portland Cement Concrete over
12 inches compacted subgrade (95% minimum compaction)
The concrete should have a 28 -day compressive strength of at least 3,000 psi.
Reinforcing within all pavements should be designed by the structural engineer. The
maximum joint spacing within all of the PCC pavements is recommended to be equal to
or less than 30 times the pavement thickness. The actual joint spacing and reinforcing
of the Portland cement concrete pavements should be determined by the structural
engineer.

GRADING GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS
Grading Guide Specifications Page 1
1 GRADING GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS
These grading guide specifications are intended to provide typical procedures for grading
operations. They are intended to supplement the recommendations contained in the
geotechnical investigation report for this project. Should the recommendations in the
geotechnical investigation report conflict with the grading guide specifications, the more site
specific recommendations in the geotechnical investigation report will govern.
General
• The Earthwork Contractor is responsible for the satisfactory completion of all earthwork in
accordance with the plans and geotechnical reports, and in accordance with city, county,
and Uniform Building Codes.
The Geotechnical Engineer is the representative of the Owner/Builder for the purpose of
implementing the report recommendations and guidelines. These duties are not intended to
relieve the Earthwork Contractor of any responsibility to perform in a workman -like manner,
nor is the Geotechnical Engineer to direct the grading equipment or personnel employed by
the Contractor.
' The Earthwork Contractor is required to notify the Geotechnical Engineer of the anticipated
work and schedule so that testing and inspections can be provided. If necessary, work may
be stopped and redone if personnel have not been scheduled in advance.
• The Earthwork Contractor is required to have suitable and sufficient equipment on the job -
site to process, moisture condition, mix and compact the amount of fill being placed to the
1 specified compaction. In addition, suitable support equipment should be available to
conform with recommendations and guidelines in this report.
• Canyon cleanouts, overexcavation areas, processed ground to receive fill, key excavations,
' subdrains and benches should be observed by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to
placement of any fill. Itis the Earthwork Contractor's responsibility to notify the Geotechnical
Engineer of areas that are ready for inspection.
• Excavation, filling, and subgrade preparation should be performed in a manner and
sequence that will provide drainage at all times and proper control of erosion. Precipitation,
springs, and seepage water encountered shall be pumped or drained to provide a suitable
working surface. The Geotechnical Engineer must be informed of springs or water seepage
encountered during grading or foundation construction for possible revision to the
recommended construction procedures and/or installation of subdrains.
' Site Preparation
• The Earthwork Contractor is responsible for all clearing, grubbing, stripping and site
preparation for the project in accordance with the recommendations of the Geotechnical
Engineer.
• If any materials or areas are encountered by the Earthwork Contractor which are suspected
of having toxic or environmentally sensitive contamination, the Geotechnical Engineer and
Owner/Builder should be notified immediately.
' • Major vegetation should be stripped and disposed of off-site. This includes trees, brush,
heavy grasses and any materials considered unsuitable by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Grading Guide Specifications
Page 2
• Underground structures such as basements, cesspools or septic disposal systems, mining
shafts, tunnels, wells and pipelines should be removed under the inspection of the
' Geotechnical Engineer and recommendations provided by the Geotechnical Engineer and/or
city, county or state agencies. If such structures are known or found, the Geotechnical
Engineer should be notified as soon as possible so that recommendations can be
formulated.
■
Any topsoil, slopewash, colluvium, alluvium and rock materials which are considered
unsuitable by the Geotechnical Engineer should be removed prior to fill placement.
'
Remaining voids created during site clearing caused by removal of trees, foundations
basements, irrigation facilities, etc., should be excavated and filled with compacted fill.
'
• Subsequent to clearing and removals, areas to receive fill should be scarified to a depth of
10 to 12 inches, moisture conditioned and compacted
• The moisture condition of the processed ground should be at or slightly above the optimum
moisture content as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. Depending upon field
conditions, this may require air drying or watering together with mixing and/or discing.
Compacted Fills
• Soil materials imported to or excavated on the property may be utilized in the fill, provided
• Rock fragments or rocks greater than 6 inches should be taken off-site or placed in
accordance with recommendations and in areas designated as suitable by the Geotechnical
Engineer. Acceptable methods typically include windrows. Oversize materials should not be
placed within the range of excavation for foundations, utilities, or pools to facilitate
excavations. Rock placement should be kept away from slopes (minimum distance: 15 feet)
to facilitate compaction near the slope.
• Fill materials approved by the Geotechnical Engineer should be placed in areas previously
1 prepared to receive fill and in evenly placed, near horizontal layers at about 6 to 8 inches in
loose thickness, or as otherwise determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
' • Each layer should be moisture conditioned to optimum moisture content, or slightly above,
as directed by the Geotechnical Engineer. After proper mixing and/or drying, to evenly
distribute the moisture, the layers should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
maximum dry density in compliance with ASTM D-1557 unless otherwise indicated.
• Density and moisture content testing should be performed by the Geotechnical Engineer at
random intervals and locations as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. These tests
are intended as an aid to the Earthwork Contractor, so he can evaluate his workmanship,
each material has been determined to be suitable in the opinion of the Geotechnical
Engineer. Unless otherwise approved by the Geotechnical Engineer, all fill materials shall
be free of deleterious, organic, or frozen matter, shall contain no chemicals that may result in
the material being classified as "contaminated," and shall be low to non -expansive with a
maximum expansion index (EI) of 50. The top 12 inches of the compacted fill should have a
maximum particle size of 3 inches, and all underlying compacted fill material a maximum 6
inch particle size, except as noted below.
• All soils should be evaluated and tested by the Geotechnical Engineer. Materials with high
expansion potential, low strength, poor gradation or containing organic materials may require
removal from the site or selective placement and/or mixing to the satisfaction of the
Geotechnical Engineer.
• Rock fragments or rocks greater than 6 inches should be taken off-site or placed in
accordance with recommendations and in areas designated as suitable by the Geotechnical
Engineer. Acceptable methods typically include windrows. Oversize materials should not be
placed within the range of excavation for foundations, utilities, or pools to facilitate
excavations. Rock placement should be kept away from slopes (minimum distance: 15 feet)
to facilitate compaction near the slope.
• Fill materials approved by the Geotechnical Engineer should be placed in areas previously
1 prepared to receive fill and in evenly placed, near horizontal layers at about 6 to 8 inches in
loose thickness, or as otherwise determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
' • Each layer should be moisture conditioned to optimum moisture content, or slightly above,
as directed by the Geotechnical Engineer. After proper mixing and/or drying, to evenly
distribute the moisture, the layers should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the
maximum dry density in compliance with ASTM D-1557 unless otherwise indicated.
• Density and moisture content testing should be performed by the Geotechnical Engineer at
random intervals and locations as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer. These tests
are intended as an aid to the Earthwork Contractor, so he can evaluate his workmanship,

' equipment effectiveness and site conditions. The Earthwork Contractor is responsible for
compaction as required by the Geotechnical Report(s) and governmental agencies.
After compacted fills have been tested and approved by the geotechnical engineer, the
contractor should moisture condition the soils as necessary to maintain the compacted
moisture content. Compacted fill soils that are allowed to become overly dry or desiccated
may require removal and/or scarification, moisture conditioning and replacement. Soils with
medium to high expansion indices are especially susceptible to desiccation. Sandy soils
that are allowed to dry can also lose density
Foundations
• The foundation influence zone is defined as extending one foot horizontally from the outside
' edge of a footing, and then proceeding downward at a % horizontal to 1 vertical (0.5:1)
inclination.
• Where overexcavation beneath a footing subgrade is necessary, it should be conducted so
as to encompass the entire foundation influence zone, as described above.
• Compacted fill adjacent to exterior footings should extend at least 12 inches above
' foundation bearing grade. Compacted fill within the interior of structures should extend to
the floor subgrade elevation.
Fill Slopes
' • The placement and compaction of fill described above applies to all fill slopes. Slope
compaction should be accomplished by overfilling the slope, adequately compacting the fill
in even layers, including the overfilled zone and cutting the slope back to expose the
compacted core.
• Slope compaction may also be achieved by backrolling the slope adequately every 2 to 4
vertical feet during the filling process as well as requiring the earth moving and compaction
equipment to work close to the top of the slope. Upon completion of slope construction, the
• Fill areas unused for a period of time may require moisture conditioning, processing and
'
recompaction prior to the start of additional filling. The Earthwork Contractor should notify
the Geotechnical Engineer of his intent so that an evaluation can be made.
• Fill placed on ground sloping at a 5 -to -1 inclination (horizontal -to -vertical) or steeper should
be benched into bedrock or other suitable materials, as directed by the Geotechnical
Engineer. Typical details of benching are illustrated on Plates G-2, G-4, and G-5.
• Cut/fill transition lots should have the cut portion overexcavated to a depth of at least 3 feet
and rebuilt with fill (see Plate G-1), as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer.
• All cut lots should be inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer for fracturing and other
bedrock conditions. If necessary, the pads should be overexcavated to a depth of 3 feet and
rebuilt with a uniform, more cohesive soil type to impede moisture penetration.
• Cut portions of pad areas above buttresses or stabilizations should be overexcavated to a
depth of 3 feet and rebuilt with uniform, more cohesive compacted fill to impede moisture
penetration.
• Non-structural fill adjacent to structural fill should typically be placed in unison to provide
lateral support. Backfill along walls must be placed and compacted with care to ensure that
excessive unbalanced lateral pressures do not develop. The type of fill material placed
adjacent to below grade walls must be properly tested and approved by the Geotechnical
Engineer with consideration of the lateral earth pressure used in the design.
Foundations
• The foundation influence zone is defined as extending one foot horizontally from the outside
' edge of a footing, and then proceeding downward at a % horizontal to 1 vertical (0.5:1)
inclination.
• Where overexcavation beneath a footing subgrade is necessary, it should be conducted so
as to encompass the entire foundation influence zone, as described above.
• Compacted fill adjacent to exterior footings should extend at least 12 inches above
' foundation bearing grade. Compacted fill within the interior of structures should extend to
the floor subgrade elevation.
Fill Slopes
' • The placement and compaction of fill described above applies to all fill slopes. Slope
compaction should be accomplished by overfilling the slope, adequately compacting the fill
in even layers, including the overfilled zone and cutting the slope back to expose the
compacted core.
• Slope compaction may also be achieved by backrolling the slope adequately every 2 to 4
vertical feet during the filling process as well as requiring the earth moving and compaction
equipment to work close to the top of the slope. Upon completion of slope construction, the
Grading Guide Specifications
Page 4
slope face should be compacted with a sheepsfoot connected to a sideboom and then grid
rolled. This method of slope compaction should only be used if approved by the
Geotechnical Engineer.
• Sandy soils lacking in adequate cohesion may be unstable for a finished slope condition and
therefore should not be placed within 15 horizontal feet of the slope face.
• All fill slopes should be keyed into bedrock or other suitable material. Fill keys should be at
least 15 feet wide and inclined at 2 percent into the slope. For slopes higher than 30 feet,
the fill key width should be equal to one-half the height of the slope (see Plate G-5).
• • All fill keys should be cleared of loose slough material prior to geotechnical inspection and
should be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer and governmental agencies prior to filling.
• The cut portion of fill over cut slopes should be made first and inspected by the Geotechnical
Engineer for possible stabilization requirements. The fill portion should be adequately keyed
through all surficial soils and into bedrock or suitable material. Soils should be removed
from the transition zone between the cut and fill portions (see Plate G-2).
Cut Slopes
• All cut slopes should be inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer to determine the need for
stabilization. The Earthwork Contractor should notify the Geotechnical Engineer when slope
cutting is in progress at intervals of 10 vertical feet. Failure to notify may result in a delay in
recommendations.
• Cutslopes exposing loose, cohesionless sands should be reported to the Geotechnical
Engineer for possible stabilization recommendations.
• All stabilization excavations should be cleared of loose slough material prior to geotechnical
inspection. Stakes should be provided by the Civil Engineer to verify the location and
dimensions of the key. A typical stabilization fill detail is shown on Plate G-5.
• Stabilization key excavations should be provided with subdrains. Typical subdrain details
are shown on Plates G-6.
Subdrains
• Subdrains may be required in canyons and swales where fill placement is proposed. Typical
subdrain details for canyons are shown on Plate G-3. Subdrains should be installed after
approval of removals and before filling, as determined by the Soils Engineer.
• Plastic pipe may be used for subdrains provided it is Schedule 40 or SDR 35 or equivalent.
Pipe should be protected against breakage, typically by placement in a square -cut (backhoe)
trench or as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Filter material for subdrains should conform to CALTRANS Specification 68-1.025 or as
approved by the Geotechnical Engineer for the specific site conditions.- Clean %-inch
crushed rock may be used provided it is wrapped in an acceptable filter cloth and approved
by the Geotechnical Engineer. Pipe diameters should be 6 inches for runs up to 500 feet
and 8 inches for the downstream continuations of longer runs. Four -inch diameter pipe may
be used in buttress and stabilization fills.
