FOUNDATION S'JBGRADE REVIEW
LOT 120 — ARLINGTON HEIGHTS NO.3 1/145 -1--C G 5'
12613 SW CANYONRIDGE COURT
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
GeoPacific Engineering Inc, visited the site today to review the single family home foundation layout
on Lot 120. In our opinion, the observed subgrade is generally adequate for support to an allowable
bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. The expected maximum anticipated total and differential footing
movements (generally from soil expansion and /or settlement) are 1 inch and 3/ inch, respectively,
ove.. a span of 20 feet.
At the time of our first site visit, the excavation was nearly complete and exposed medium stiff to stiff
native soil. These materials are considered adequate to support the planned foundation loads.
Footing to slope setbacks are adequate, footing -to -wall setbacks are not an issue, and footing to
sewer setbacks are less than a 1 H:1 V slope.
Due to relatively impervious soils encountered throughout the site, all foundations should incorporate
appropriate drainage measures in accordance with the International Residential Code. Adequate
crawlspace drainage is not something that geotechnical consultants can verify, the purpose of our
visit is for observations of foundation bearing conditions only
Care should be taken to avoid saturation or disturbance of footing subgrade soils during and after
excavation. We observed some placement of crushed aggregate to protect the subgrade from wet
weather. If footing bearing soils become saturated or disturbed, any softened soil or slough should
be removed and replaced with crushed aggregate or additional concrete. In general, footing
excavations should be cleaned such that no more than about'/ inch of loose soils is present prior to
pouring concrete
