TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM

TO: Andrew Tiemann - D R Horton
FROM: Brad L. Hupy, PE, GE - Principal Engineer
RE: Segmental Retaining Wall Design 27,A'
Alpine View Subdivision ••
Summary of Design Details
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.
