1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of GeoDesign's geotechnical engineering evaluation of the
proposed grocery store improvements located in the Greenway Town Center in Tigard, Oregon.
The project site is located within an overall 7.64-acre retail development constructed in 1979.
The portion of the site considered for this project is the existing Lamb's Thriftway in the south-
central portion of the site. The existing store is noted as the Unified Western Grocers building in
site plans included in the information provided to us by Regency Centers. The project includes
upgrades to the existing store shell.
This report presents the results of our on-site subsurface explorations and surface pavement
observations and our evaluation and recommendations related to proposed store development
and suitability of the existing building and parking areas relative to proposed design
requirements.
The site is located at 12220 SW Scholls Ferry Road in Tigard, Oregon. The overall site is bound
on the north by SW Scholls Ferry Road, on the east by SW 12155 Avenue, and on the south by
Springwood Drive. Access drives to the shopping center are located off of all three boundary
roads. Based on the site development information provided by Regency Centers, store
development will be located within the former Lamb's Thriftway store. Figure 1 shows the site
location relative to surrounding physical features. Figure 2 shows the approximate site
boundaries, store location and parking layout, and approximate exploration locations. For your
reference, definitions of acronyms used herein are defined at the end of this document.
2.0 RELIANCE INFORMATION
In preparing this report, we have relied on information provided to us by Regency Centers,
including a property condition assessment report prepared by EMG of Hunt Valley, Maryland; our
experience in the local vicinity; as well as published geologic information. In addition, Mr. Mokry
provided verbal and email information regarding proposed site development.
3.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of our services was to consider subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the
site to provide the basis for geotechnical opinion regarding the suitability of the site for the
proposed re-development and to provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for use in
additional design and construction of the proposed development. Specifically, our suitability
study is to consider subsurface conditions and geotechnical issues for evaluation of the existing
building and proposed improvements. We completed the following scope of services in
accordance with our April 1 7, 2013 proposal for services:

4.0 SITE CONDITIONS
4.1 GEOLOGIC SETTING
The site is located in the Tualatin Basin of the Puget Sound-Willamette Valley physiographic
province, a tectonically active lowland located along the convergent Cascadia. The lowland is
generally an elongated alluvial plain bordered on the west by the Coast Ranges and on the east
by the Cascade Mountains. The Tualatin Basin is formed by a gentle syncline between the
uplifted Coast Ranges to the west and the uplifted Tualatin Mountains to the northeast. The
Tualatin Mountains have been uplifted along northwestern-oriented faults, including the steeply
dipping Portland Hills Fault, located along the eastern flank of the mountains.
Basement rocks of the Tualatin Basin are exposed in the highlands surrounding the valley, which
primarily consist of volcanic and sedimentary rocks several millions of years old, including the
CRBs. The CRBs consist of thick flows of basalt erupted from fissures in eastern Oregon,
Washington, and western Idaho that traveled down the ancient Columbia River Gorge to fill areas
of the lowland around Portland and the surrounding vicinity. These were later folded and faulted
from the compressional tectonics of the region. Following the structural disruption of the CRBs,
alluvial mudstones accumulated in the Portland and Tualatin basins in a large delta where the
ancient Columbia River and Willamette River converged. Around the Tualatin Mountains, the
mudstones have been referred to as the Sandy River Mudstone equivalent or Neogene
mudstones by different sources.
The most recent major geologic events to shape the region were tremendous floods down the
Columbia River, caused by the collapse of glacial dams and drainage of large lakes in western
Montana. Many dozens of these Missoula Floods occurred between approximately 1 5,500 and
12,500 years ago (and perhaps during earlier glaciations). Flood waters several hundred feet
deep swept out of the Columbia Gorge and over the lowlands of the Portland area, reshaping the
surfaces and depositing fresh sediments over the terraces.
CIDESIGN= 2 RegencyCen-1 5-01:050613
In most of the Tualatin Basin, fine-grained sand, silt, and clay were deposited by the flood waters
in temporary lakes formed in the valley. Prior to and along with the flooding events, wind-blown
silt and clay derived from glaciers to the north, referred to as loess, were deposited on the hills
surrounding the Portland area. Where flood waters did not scour the hillsides in the Portland and
Tualatin basins, generally higher than approximately 400 feet above MSL, loess deposits are still
preserved. In the periods between and following the Missoula Floods, the Columbia, Willamette,
and Tualatin rivers and their tributaries eroded down through the loose sediment to re-establish
their channels.
The thickness of alluvial deposits in the area generally varies but can be expected to be 30 feet
thick or more in larger flood plains. Geologic maps indicate an alluvial thickness of up to 90 feet
in the area of the site. This unit typically is susceptible to erosion, especially when exposed on
steep slopes. Perched and relatively shallow groundwater may also be present. In addition,
based on topographic maps of the region, the site is located in a relatively low-lying area near the
foothills of the west hills of Portland where outwash accumulations could form. Basement
contour maps indicate an approximate depth of 650 feet to contact with bedrock.
4.2 SEISMIC SETTING
Oblique subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the North American Plate is occurring
along the margin and represents a variety of earthquake hazards to the Pacific Northwest. The
Portland metropolitan area has not experienced an earthquake greater than magnitude M 6 in
historic time, but six magnitude M 5+ earthquakes have occurred during the last 150 years. In
1993, a magnitude M 5.3 earthquake occurred near the town of Scotts Mills, approximately
35 miles south of the site.
The Tualatin Basin and surrounding area have several northwest-striking faults that have been
identified below sedimentary cover and mapped in exposed bedrock, including within the CRBs
of the Tualatin Mountains. The faults are related to the northwest-trending, right-lateral fault
system that dominates the region. One of these faults, the Portland Hills Fault, runs along the
eastern flank of the Tualatin Mountains and is located approximately 5 miles northeast of the
site. The fault is generally considered to be a steeply dipping fault with components of both
strike-slip motion and vertical motion. The Portland Hills Fault is considered to have a relatively
high probability of activity based on differences in subsurface sediment thickness, the sharp
topographic expression of the northeastern face of the Tualatin Mountains, and recent evidence
of sediment offset and fault activity near the inferred trace of the fault.
4.3 SURFACE CONDITIONS
At the time of our explorations, the site was occupied by an active shopping center. The
structures consist of a concrete and masonry block buildings with generally at-grade walls. The
primary entrance is located at the north side of the store building with receiving doors on the
south wall. The interior of the store is slab on grade concrete slab. The exterior area consists of
concrete apron and sidewalk areas adjacent to AC-paved parking.
4.4 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
We explored subsurface conditions in the project area by drilling four exploratory borings (B-1
through B-4). We did not conduct core explorations on the building interior or floor slab. The
[ •DESIGN=- 3 RegencyCen-1 5-01:05061 3
details of the exploration program, exploration logs, and a summary of laboratory testing are
provided in the Appendix. The approximate locations of the explorations are shown on Figure 2.
Soil underlying the exterior of the building generally consists of medium stiff to stiff silt with
varying amounts of sand. The silt soil generally grades with more fine sand and increasing
stiffness with depth
The pavement section generally consists of 2 Y2 inches of AC over 6 inches of compacted crushed
base rock. Some thicker sections of AC were observed as noted on the boring logs but are likely
isolated to the areas where fine grading was limited by site restrictions during original
construction. The existing pavement section is likely on the order of 2 %z inches of AC over
6 inches of base rock as noted. The base rock is generally underlain by medium stiff silt.
Groundwater, interpreted to represent a regional groundwater table, was typically encountered at
a depth of 11 to 16 feet BGS in the borings. Water levels can be expected to vary at the site,
depending on seasonal and regional changes, but are anticipated to be as shallow as 5 to 8 feet
BGS following peak periods of rainfall. Other factors not evident during our subsurface
exploration may also influence groundwater levels.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
We evaluated geotechnical elements of the existing development based on our observations, as
well as our experience with similar projects in the site area. The following sections present our
conclusions for geotechnical-specific design elements. Depending on the structural engineer's
evaluation and application of current seismic design parameters, additional work may be
required to evaluate structural elements. Reports indicate that there is no obvious cracking or
structural distress.
The existing pavement section is in generally serviceable condition but has areas of cracking and
surface spalling and breakup damage. The general existing pavement section thickness is
generally suitable for support of standard-duty traffic but may be inadequate to support heavy-
duty traffic, depending on the required use and traffic loading patterns.
The existing structural components of the building should be evaluated by a structural engineer.
The recommendations given in the following sections are intended for evaluating specific
elements of the existing structure, as well as for subsequent design or retrofit design relative to
specific geotechnical issues.
5.2 SITE PREPARATION
Site development that includes rehabilitation or reconstruction of the existing paved areas will
require demolition and removal of existing improvements. Existing utilities may be present
across the site. Existing utilities that will interfere with earthwork or will be located beneath any
proposed structural addition should be removed and/or relocated prior to construction.
Abandoned utilities will need to be removed or grouted full if left in place. Also, previous
development may include undocumented fill or abandoned subsurface structural elements that
[OIRDESIG N= 4 RegencyCen-1 5-01:05061 3
may not have been encountered during our explorations. If encountered during construction,
these structural elements or undocumented fill should be excavated and removed or backfilled in
accordance with project specifications.
Depending on the extent of development, demolition of existing improvements may include
complete removal of hardscape structural features and floor slabs, asphalt pavement,
landscaping and landscape features, abandoned utilities, and previous construction debris. The
base course for the existing pavement and likely under the floor slab can be separated from
underlying material and stockpiled for use as fill if it meets the requirements but may not be
suitable to be used as base course for new pavement or concrete slabs if it contains excessive
amounts of fines or deleterious material. Demolished concrete and AC materials may be used in
structural fill provided it meets the requirement outlined in the "Structural Fill" section of this
report.
Demolished material that has not been processed for use as structural fill should be transported
off site for disposal. Excavations from demolition of existing development should be backfilled
with compacted structural fill as recommended in this report. The bottoms of the excavation
should be excavated to expose firm subgrade. The sides of the excavations should be cut into
firm material and sloped a minimum of 1 H:1 V. Excavations should not undermine adjacent
foundations, walkways, streets, or other hardscapes unless special shoring or underpinning is
provided. Excavations should not be conducted within an outward and downward projection of a
1 H:1 V line starting at least 2 feet outside the edge of an adjacent structural feature.
After stripping, demolition, and required site preparation have been completed, we recommend
the subgrade be evaluated by a qualified geotechnical engineer or their representative. If
unsuitable areas are identified, the material should be excavated and replaced with compacted
material recommended for structural fill. Areas that appear to be too wet and soft to support
construction equipment should be prepared in accordance with the recommendations presented
in the following section of this report.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
The fine-grained, near-surface soil on site is easily disturbed and difficult to compact when wet.
If not carefully executed, site preparation in exposed excavation can create extensive soft areas
and significant repair costs can result. Earthwork planning and construction should include
considerations for minimizing subgrade disturbance.
Proofrolling of subgrade should not be performed during wet weather or if wet ground
conditions exist. Instead, the subgrade should be evaluated by probing. Soil that has been
disturbed during site preparation activities, or soft or loose zones identified during probing,
should be removed and replaced with structural fill.
Site grading and fill placement for reconstruction can proceed during wet conditions provided
the following recommendations are applied. Generally, stripping and site preparation should be
accomplished using track-mounted equipment and modified construction methods. For
example, a track-mounted excavator equipped with a smooth-edged bucket could be used
working from the existing paved surface or underlying base course surface or a granular pad and
MEIDESIGW 5 RegencyCen-15-01:050613
loading into trucks supported on granular haul roads or similar surface. While the exposed
subgrade is wet, the subgrade should be evaluated by probing with a steel rod, rather than by
proofrolling. Soil that is disturbed during site preparation activities during wet conditions, as
well as soft or loose zones identified during probing, should be removed and replaced with
compacted structural fill.
Existing pavement sections may not be adequate to support repeated heavy construction traffic
in all areas. Careful planning is required by the site contractor to vary site construction traffic
patterns and to protect the existing AC section from damage by construction vehicles.
5.4 EXCAVATION CONSIDERATIONS
5.4.1 Temporary Slopes
Based on soil conditions encountered during our explorations, temporary slopes for excavation
of 1.5H:1 V may be used to vertical depths of 8 feet or less, provided groundwater seepage is not
encountered and groundwater remains below the base of the excavation. At this inclination,
unprotected slopes may slough at the surface and require some on-going repair. If seepage is
encountered, it will be necessary to flatten the slopes to protect the surface from sloughing or
provide dewatering. All cut slopes should be protected from erosion by covering them with
plastic sheeting or other stabilizing cover during the rainy season. If sloughing or instability is
observed, the slope may need to be flattened or the cut supported by shoring.
Excavations should not undermine adjacent utilities, foundations, walkways, streets, or other
hardscapes unless special shoring or underpinned support is provided. Unsupported
excavations should not be conducted within a downward and outward projection of a 1 H:1 V line
from 2 feet outside the edge of an adjacent structural feature.
5.4.2 Trench Cuts and Shoring
Trench cuts should stand vertical to a depth of approximately 4 feet, provided groundwater
seepage is not observed in the trench walls. Open excavation techniques may be used to
excavate trenches with depths between 4 and 8 feet, provided the walls of the excavation are cut
at a slope of 1 .5H:1 V and groundwater seepage is not present. Sloughing conditions will likely
occur if the excavation extends below the groundwater table or during extended periods of wet
weather. The walls of the trench should be flattened or braced for stability and a dewatering
system installed if seepage is encountered.
Use of a trench box or other approved temporary shoring is recommended for cuts below where
groundwater seepage is observed. If shoring is used, we recommend that the type and design of
the shoring system be the responsibility of the contractor, who is in the best position to choose a
system that fits the construction plan.
5.4.3 Dewatering
We did not observe groundwater near the surface in our explorations. During extended periods
of wet weather, or if perched groundwater seepage is encountered, dewatering may be necessary
in foundation and utility trench excavations. We recommend that if dewatering becomes
necessary, that it be accomplished by pumping from sumps on an as-needed basis. Based on
the proposed development, observed groundwater conditions, and the nature of the near-surface
[DESIGN= 6 RegencyCen-15-01:05061 3
soil, it is our opinion that wide-scale dewatering from wells or well points should not be required.
A more intensive use of sumps may be required in excavations during wet weather, or
excavations that cut into perched groundwater locations. Dewatering water should be pumped
to a suitable disposal point. Because of varying site topography that typically occurs during
construction, uncontrolled dewatering effluent may return to the excavation or lead to
inappropriate disposal points if not effectively disposed.
If excessive groundwater is present in the base of trench excavations and stabilization becomes
necessary, we recommend over excavating the trench by 6 inches and placing trench
stabilization material in the base. Trench stabilization material should consist of well-graded
gravel, crushed gravel, or crushed rock meeting the requirements outlined in the "Structural Fill"
section of this report. Trench stabilization material should be placed in one lift and compacted
until well keyed.
5.4.4 Safety
All excavations should be made in accordance with applicable OSHA and state regulations. While
we have described certain approaches to the utility vault and trench excavations in the foregoing
discussions, the contractor is responsible for selecting the excavation and dewatering methods,
monitoring the trench excavations for safety, and providing shoring as required to protect
personnel and adjacent improvements.
5.5 STRUCTURAL FILL
5.5.1 General
Fill should only be placed over a subgrade that has been prepared in conformance with the "Site
Preparation" section of this report. All material used as structural fill should be free of organic
matter or other unsuitable material. The material should meet the specifications provided in
OSSC 00330 (Earthwork), depending on the application. All structural fill should have a
maximum particle size of 3 inches. A brief characterization of some of the acceptable materials
and our recommendations for their use as structural fill is provided below.
5.5.2 Recycled Material
Demolished concrete, AC, and base rock material may be used as structural fill, provided it can
be processed or crushed to a maximum particle size of 3 inches; is well graded; is free of metal,
debris, or other deleterious material; and is placed no shallower than 1 foot below final subgrade
elevation. The material should be placed in lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of
12 inches and compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum dry density, as
determined by ASTM D 1557.
5.5.3 On-Site Upper Silt
If use of the on-site material as structural fill is attempted, the fill material should meet the
requirements set forth in OSSC 00330.12 (Borrow Material). However, the moisture content of
the on-site material is significantly higher than that required for compaction and considerable
drying will be required to process this material for use as structural fill. Based on the limited
space available to spread and dry the on-site material, it is unlikely that the on-site soil can be
DESIGN:, 7 RegencyCen-1 5-01:050613
adequately processed for use as structural fill, and we recommend a contingency be in place to
export cut material from the site and import structural fill to raise site grades and for proposed
site fills.
When used as structural fill, the on-site soil should be placed in lifts with a maximum
uncompacted thickness of 8 inches and compacted to not less than 92 percent of the maximum
dry density, as determined by ASTM D 1 557.
5.5.4 Imported Granular Material
Imported granular material used for structural fill should be pit- or quarry-run rock, crushed rock,
or crushed gravel and sand and should meet the requirements set forth in OSSC 00330.14
(Selected Granular Backfill) and OSSC 00330.1 5 (Selected Stone Backfill). Imported granular
material should be fairly well graded between coarse and fine material, have less than 5 percent
by dry weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve, and have at least two mechanically
fractured faces.
When used as structural fill, imported granular material should be placed in lifts with a maximum
uncompacted thickness of 12 inches and compacted to not less than 95 percent of the
maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM D 1 557.
5.5.5 Floor Slab Base Rock
Imported granular material placed beneath building floor slabs should be clean crushed rock or
crushed gravel and sand that is fairly well graded between coarse and fine. The granular
material should have a maximum particle size of 1 Y2 inches, less than 5 percent by dry weight
passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve, have at least two mechanically fractured faces, and
should meet OSSC 00641 (Aggregate Subbase, Base, and Shoulders). The imported granular
material should be placed in one lift and compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum
dry density, as determined by ASTM D 1 557.
5.5.6 Pavement Base Rock
If improvements or expansions are considered for paved areas, imported granular material used
as base rock for pavements should consist of 3/4- or 1%z-inch-minus material meeting the
requirements in OSSC 00641 (Aggregate Subbase, Base, and Shoulders), with the exception that
the aggregate has less than 5 percent by dry weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve and
at least two mechanically fractured faces. The imported granular material should be placed in
lifts with a maximum uncompacted thickness of 12 inches and compacted to not less than
95 percent of the maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM D 1557.
5.5.7 Trench Backfill
Trench backfill for the utility pipe base and pipe zone should consist of well-graded granular
material with a maximum particle size of 1 inch and less than 5 percent by dry weight passing
the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve and should meet OSSC 00405.14 (Trench Backfill, Class B). The
material should be free of roots, organic matter, and other unsuitable material. Backfill for the
pipe base and pipe zone should be compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum dry
density, as determined by ASTM D 1557, or as recommended by the pipe manufacturer.
[OIRDESIGNP 8 RegencyCen-1 5-01:050613
Within building, pavement, and other structural areas, trench backfill placed above the pipe zone
should consist of imported granular material as specified above. The backfill should be
compacted to at least 92 percent of ASTM D 1 557 at depths greater than 2 feet below the
finished subgrade and 95 percent of ASTM D 1557 within 2 feet of finished subgrade. In all
other areas, trench backfill above the pipe zone should be compacted to at least 92 percent of
the maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM D 1 557.
5.5.8 Trench Stabilization Material
Trench stabilization material should consist of pit- or quarry-run rock, crushed rock, or crushed
gravel and sand and should meet the requirements set forth in OSSC 00330.14 (Selected
Granular Backfill) and OSSC 00330.1 5 (Selected Stone Backfill), with a minimum particle size of
6 inches and less than 5 percent by dry weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 4 Sieve. The
material should be free of organic matter and other deleterious material. Trench stabilization
material should be placed in one lift and compacted to a firm condition.
5.5.9 Drain Rock
Drain rock should consist of angular, granular material with a maximum particle size of 2 inches
and should meet OSSC 00430.11 (Granular Drain Backfill Material). The material should be free
of roots, organic matter, and other unsuitable material and have less than 2 percent by dry
weight passing the U.S. Standard No. 200 Sieve (washed analysis).
5.6 SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
We have not been provided information relative to initial site preparation or as-built footing sizes
or locations of the existing structure. However, based on local construction practice, the existing
building is most likely supported on continuous wall or isolated column footings. Subsurface
explorations indicate that the soil in the shallow foundation zone is competent native silt soil
that appears to be adequately prepared. In addition,we did not observe excessive floor slab
cracking that would indicate excessive foundation settlement.
The existing foundations should be reviewed for adequate bearing, settlement, and lateral
resistance using the recommended values presented in the following paragraphs. These design
values are based on limited information regarding the existing structure and a limited number of
explorations and are considered conservative. For instance, it may be possible to increase the
allowable bearing capacity based on further study of the preloading effect of the existing
foundations. For more critical elements, we can consult with the structural engineer to discuss
the sensitivity and range of values for specific design recommendations.
When evaluating loads from the existing structure or evaluating loads from a renovated
structure, continuous wall and spread footings for the existing footing loads should be
proportioned for an allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 psf and should be at least 18 and
24 inches wide, respectively. The bottom of exterior footings should be at least 18 inches below
the lowest adjacent final grade. The bottom of interior footings should be placed 12 inches
below the bottom of the floor slab.
CDESIGN' 9 RegencyCen-1 5-01:050613
The recommended allowable bearing pressure applies to the total of dead plus long-term live
loads. The allowable bearing pressure may be increased by up to one-half for short-term loads,
such as those resulting from wind or seismic forces.
Total settlement of footings founded as recommended is anticipated to be less than 1 inch.
Differential settlement is estimated at one-half of the total settlement.
5.7 RESISTANCE TO SLIDING
Lateral loads on footings can be resisted by passive earth pressure on the sides of footings and
by friction on the base of the footings. Our analysis indicates that the available passive earth
pressure for footings confined by structural fill or for footings constructed in direct contact with
the native soil is 300 pcf. Typically, the movement required to develop the available passive
resistance can be relatively large. Therefore, we recommend using a reduced passive pressure of
250 pcf. This value is based on the assumptions that the adjacent confining structural fill or
native material is level and that static groundwater remains below the base of the footing
throughout the year. Adjacent floor slabs, pavements, or the upper 12-inch depth of adjacent
unpaved areas should not be considered when calculating passive resistance.
We recommend a friction coefficient of 0.30 for footings. The passive earth pressure and friction
components may be combined provided that the passive component does not exceed two-thirds
of the total. The top foot of soil should be neglected when calculating passive lateral earth
pressures, unless the foundation area is covered with pavement or is inside the building.
The lateral resistance values do not include safety factors. We recommend a safety factor of 2
when designing for dead loads plus frequently applied live loads and a safety factor of 1.5 when
considering transitory loads such as wind and seismic forces.
5.8 FLOOR SLABS
We do not have information with respect to the existing floor section thicknesses. Based on our
explorations and on site observations, the underlying subgrade should provide adequate support
for design floor loads typical for this type of development, provided the overlying floor section is
structurally capable. A qualified structural engineer should conduct appropriate structural
evaluation of the existing slab.
If the existing floor slab thickness does not meet structural design requirements, remedial
options include the following:
• Demolish the existing slab and construct a floor section to meet the structural design
requirements. If this option is employed, we recommend replacing and compacting a
minimum 6-inch-thick crushed rock base section under the new slab. The crushed rock
should meet the requirements for floor slab base rock, as provided in the "Structural Fill"
section of this report.
• Construct a new floor slab over the existing slab if it is deemed viable by a structural
engineer.
• A modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pci can be used for the compacted crushed rock base
to evaluate the existing floor slab and for design of new slabs.
C DESIGN: 10 RegencyCen-15-01:050613
Settlement for newly constructed floor slabs is estimated to be less than %Z inch for a distributed
floor load of 200 psf or less.
5.9 SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that the development be evaluated in accordance with the current version of the
IBC. The parameters provided in the table below are appropriate for code-level seismic design
and should be used to evaluate the seismic capacity of the existing structure.
IBC Seismic Design Parameters
Parameter Short Period 1 Second
Maximum Considered Earthquake Spectral
Acceleration SS= 0.93 g S, = 0.34 g
Site Class D
Site Coefficient F = 1.13 F = 1.73
Adjusted Spectral Acceleration SMS= 1.05 g SM, = 0.59 g
Design Spectral Response Acceleration Parameters 0.70 g 0.39 g
Design Spectral PGA 0.28 g
Liquefaction settlement is the result of seismically induced densification and subsequent ground
deformation. Based on our analysis for this investigation,the site soil is not expected to liquefy

6.0 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The information presented in this report is intended for an evaluation of the geotechnical
suitability of an existing facility. Where the evaluation shows that geotechnical elements of the
existing structure are not adequate or the adequacy is unclear, additional studies may be
warranted. We can be contacted to discuss an approach to further studies if required. The
following list is intended to provide example studies that may provide additional information for
evaluating the building and site:
• Detailed survey information. Detailed survey information can be used to supplement
structural observations. At this site, no observable building distress has been reported;
therefore, additional survey may not be required.
• Floor slab/pavement cores. Cores in the floor slab and pavement could be used to further
define the section thicknesses and/or check areas that will be subjected to higher loads or
that appear to be only marginally distressed.
• Existing structural elements should be evaluated by a structural engineer relative to the
design information presented in this report.
MINDESIGW 11 RegencyCen-15-01:050613
7.0 OBSERVATION OF CONSTRUCTION
Satisfactory foundation and earthwork performance during construction depends to a large
degree on quality of construction. Sufficient observation of the contractor's activities is a key
part of determining that the work is completed in accordance with the construction drawings and
specifications. Subsurface conditions observed during construction should be compared with
those encountered during the subsurface exploration. Recognition of changed conditions often
requires experience; therefore, qualified personnel should visit the site with sufficient frequency
to detect if subsurface conditions change significantly from those anticipated.
We recommend that GeoDesign be retained to observe earthwork activities, including site
preparation, proofrolling of the subgrade and repair of soft areas, performing laboratory
compaction testing and field moisture-density tests, observing final proofrolling of the pavement
subgrade and base rock, and asphalt placement and compaction.
8.0 LIMITATIONS
We have prepared this report for use by Regency Centers and the design and construction team
for specific application in the design and evaluation of the proposed project. Any use of this
report by others, or for purposes other than intended, is at the user's sole risk. The data and
report can be used for bidding or estimating purposes, but our report, conclusions, and
interpretations should not be construed as warranty of the subsurface conditions and are not
applicable to other sites.
Exploration observations indicate soil conditions only at specific locations and only to the depths
penetrated. They do not necessarily reflect soil strata or water level variations that may exist
between exploration locations. If subsurface conditions differing from those described are noted
during the course of excavation and construction, re-evaluation will be necessary.
The scope of our services does not include services related to structural elements, construction
safety precautions, and our recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's
methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, except as specifically described in our report for
consideration in design.
Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, our services have been executed in
accordance with generally accepted practices in this area at the time the report was
prepared. No warranty, express or implied, should be understood.

APPENDIX
APPENDIX
FIELD EXPLORATIONS
We explored subsurface conditions by drilling four exploratory borings (B-1 through B-4).
Explorations were advanced to depths ranging between 16.5 and 21 .5 feet BGS. Drilling services
were provided by Western States Drilling of Hubbard, Oregon. The borings were drilled using
hollow-stem auger and mud-rotary drilling techniques on April 24, 2013.
The locations of the explorations were determined in the field pacing from existing physical
features and should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the methods used.
A member of our geotechnical staff observed the explorations. We obtained representative
samples of the various soil encountered in the explorations for geotechnical laboratory testing.
Classifications and sampling intervals are shown on the exploration logs included in this
appendix.
SOIL SAMPLING
Soil samples were obtained from the borings using the following methods:
1. SPTs were performed in general conformance with ASTM D 1586. The sampler was
driven with a 140-pound hammer free-falling 30 inches. The number of blows required
to drive the sampler 1 foot, or as otherwise indicated, into the soil is shown adjacent to
the sample symbols on the boring logs. Disturbed samples were obtained from the split
barrel for subsequent classification and index testing.
2. Relatively undisturbed samples were obtained using a standard Shelby tube in general
accordance with ASTM D 1587, the Standard Practice for Thin-walled Tube Sampling of
Soils.
SOIL CLASSIFICATION
The soil samples were classified in accordance with the "Exploration Key" (Table A-1) and "Soil
Classification System" (Table A-2),which are included in this appendix. The exploration logs
indicate the depths at which the soil or its characteristics change, although the change actually
could be gradual. If the change occurred between sample locations, the depth was interpreted.
Classifications and sampling intervals are shown on the exploration logs in this appendix.
LABORATORY TESTING
CLASSIFICATION AND MOISTURE CONTENT
The soil samples were classified in the laboratory to confirm field classifications. The laboratory
classifications are included on the exploration logs if those classifications differed from the field
classifications.
nrIDESIGW A-1 RegencyCen-15-01:050613
We tested the natural moisture content of selected soil samples in general accordance with
ASTM D 2216. The natural moisture content is a ratio of the weight of the water to soil in a test
sample and is expressed as a percentage. The moisture contents are included on the
exploration logs presented in this appendix.
