TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM ON
DATE: May 29, 2012
TO: Andrew Tiemann - D R Horton
FROM: Brad L. Hupy, PE, GE - Principal Engineer
RE: Segmental Retaining Wall Design -127,
•
Alpine View Subdivisio
Summary of Design Details 1
��•��' �.. o;, 30,, ".
A segmental retaining wall will be constructed at Alpine View on Lot 28. Precise grading plans
show the wall layout, site elevations, and planned wall heights. The wall varies in exposed height
up to about 5 feet. We used the project geotechnical report that was prepared by NGC in March
2012 to model the retained soil properties.
In addition to Lot 28, this design is applicable to any other lots of the Alpine View. The
design assumes the slope behind the wall is inclined at an inclination of 2H:1V (Horizontal
to Vertical) except for exposed wall height greater than 4.2 feet. In locations where the
exposed wall height is greater than 4.2 feet, the 2H:1V slope behind the wall is limited to a
maximum slope height of 1 foot and a slope distance of 2 feet. For distances greater than 2
feet the design assumes the slope becomes nearly flat to a maximum inclination of 8H:1V.
The following summarizes our design assumptions and construction recommendations. Table -1
provides details for installation of the geogrid reinforcement.
Retaining Wall Design Analysis
The forces imposed on the wall were analyzed using the program AB Walls 10. Parameters used
as input for the walls are listed below:
Segmental Unit: AB Classic
Wall Batter. 6 degrees
Backslope Above Walls: To Exposed Wall Height 4.2 Feet - 2H:1V (Horizontal to Vertical)
More Than Exposed Wall Height 4.2 Feet 2H:1V For 1 Foot V
Surcharge: None
Minimum Embedment: 3/4 block - 6 inches

Excavation
The stability of temporary excavation slopes is a function of many factors, including soil type, soil
density, slope inclination, slope height, the presence of groundwater, and the duration of
exposure. Generally, the likelihood of slope failure increases as the cut is deepened and as the
duration of exposure increases. For this reason, we recommend that the contractor maintain
adequate slopes and /or setbacks. Temporary slope safety is the responsibility of the contractor,
who is continually present at the site to monitor the excavation and modify construction activity if
conditions change. In all cases, cut -slope inclinations should conform to applicable governmental
safety guidelines.
Wall Drainage
Segmental retaining walls are intended to provide drainage for the slopes supported. The backfill
material chosen for the walls and protection of the backfill from silt contamination using a non
woven filter fabric are the important factors of the design and construction. Refer to Figurel for
construction details with regard to drainage. Refer to Table 1 below for wall reinforcement

details.
Drainage details shown in the attached design stability analysis are not correct for this
design and should be disregarded.
Additional drainage could be required if springs or seeps are encountered. Stop work and notify
NGC if springs or seeps are encountered during construction.

Allan Block provides this software as a service for its clients. The sole purpose of this software Is to assist
engineers in the design of mechanically stabilized retaining walls. The software uses evaluation techniques and
engineering principles found in the Allan Block Engineering Manual. (Refer to R0904 and supporting references.)
It the responsibility of the engineer of record to determine the propriety and accuracy of Input parameters and
to review and verify the correctness of the results. ALLAN BLOC< CORPORATION, ITS LICENSEES OR AGENTS
DO NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OR
MISUSE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
This software only considers internal, external and internal compound stability of the reinforced composite mass.
The internal compound stability calculations are limited to an evaluation zone above the base material and back
no further than 2 ' H or He + L, whichever is greater. This program DOES NOT address global stability donned
as soil stabild below the base material and beyond the limits for Internal compound stability. Global Stability
should be evaluated to determine if the overall site Is stable. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the
global stability Is analyzed. The engineer of record must evaluate the project site for proper water management
and all potential modes of failure within the segmental retaining wall evaluation zone. The geotechnical
engineering firm contrasted by the owner should provide a full global stability opinion of the site Including the
effects on the segmental retaining wall.
AB Walls 10 contains DEFAULT values for all data inputs that the user MUST change or verify as appropriate for
the project conditions being analyzed. These DEFAULT values do NOT ensure a conservative design for any site
condition. The final design must provide for pm per well drainage to prevent the buildup of hydrostatic pressures
over the service life of the structure. In the event additional water Is introduced into the general wall area,
either above or below rade, any designs from this software would be invalid unless otherwise noted by the
engineer of record. It Is also recommended that an Independent assessment of the foundation soil for settlement
potential and wall deflections for the proposed structure be performed. Changes In the subsoil conditions are not
ncluded in this software. These additional potential (allure modes should be evaluated by the engineer of record
to initiating wall construction and may require site Inspection by the on -site soils engineer. All
must conform to the Allan Block Spec Book. (Refer to R0901).
MathCAD files for hand calculations to support the software's consideration of internal, external and Internal
compound stability of the reinforced composite mass are provided on the software disc. These files are to be
configured so tnat the engineer of record can evaluate the output of the software. Individual equations may be
altered at the discretion of the engineer of record.

engineers In the g design of mechanically stabilized retaining walls. The software uses evaluation ac techniques and and It Is the responsib ty y of th e engineer of rrecorrd deterrmine the p Manual. (Refer to y of inp pu r aAGENTS rs nd
to revie and verify the correctness of the results. ALLAN BLOCK CORPORATION,
DO NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES WHIOl MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OR
MISUSE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
This software only considers internal, external and internal compound stability of the reinforced composite mass.
The internal compound stability calculations are limited to an evaluation zone above the base material and back
no further than 2 ' H or He + L, whichever is greeter. This program DOES NOT address global stability, defined
as soil stability below the base material and beyond the limits for internal compound stability. Global Stability
should be evaluated to determine if the overall site Is stable. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the
global stability Is analyzed. The engineer of record must evaluate the project site for proper water management
and all potential modes of failure within the so mental retaining wall evaluation zone. The geotechnlcal
engineering firm contracted by the owner should provide a full global stability opinion of the site including the
effects on the segmental retaining wall.
AB Walls 10 contains DEFAULT values for all data inputs that the user MUST Change or verify as appropriate for
the project conditions being analyzed. These DEFAULT values do NOT ensure a conservative design for any site
con condition. The final design must provide for proper wall drainage to prevent the buildup of hydrostatic pressures
over the service life of the structure. In the event additional water Is introduced into the general wall area,
either above or below grade, any designs from this software would be invalid unless otherwise noted by the
engineer of record. It Is also recommended that an Independent assessment of the foundation soil for settlement
potential and wall deflections for the proposed structure be performed. Changes in the subsoil conditions are not
included in this software. These additional potential failure modes should be evaluated by the engineer of record
prior to initiating wall construction and may require site inspection by the on -site soils engineer. All installations
must conform to the Allan Block Spec Book. (Refer to R0901).
MathCAD files for hand calculations to support the software's consideration of internal, external and Internal
compound stability of the reinforced composite mass are provided on the software disc. These Ries are to be
configured so that the engineer of record can evaluate the output of the software. Individual equations may be
altered at the discretion of the engineer of record.
