Subject: FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION
LEE OFFICE BUILDING
CITY OF TIGARD,OREGON
Dear Mr.Lee:
• At your request,GeoPacific Engineering, Inc.(GeoPacific)performed a foundation investigation for the
proposed Lee Office Building located on SW 68th Parkway in the City of Tigard,Washington County,
Oregon(see Vicinity Map, Figure 1). The general site layout and locations of our explorations are
shown on the Site and Exploration Plan,Figure 2. The purpose of the geotechnical study was to explore
and evaluate the surface and subsurface conditions at the site,and based on the conditions observed,
provide geotechnical recommendations for foundation design and construction.

SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is a 5-acre parcel on the west side of SW 68th Parkway(see Figure 2). The central
portion of the property includes a creek and several groundwater seepage areas.Preliminary plans are to
site the building on the northeastern quadrant of the property adjacent to SW 68th Parkway (see Figure 2).
Slopes in the vicinity of the building site incline at about 10% grade.
The proposed development is a three-to four-story commercial building with a partial basement for
parking and an approximate footprint area of 15,000 ft2. Building construction will incorporate steel
framing, composite concrete/steel decking,slab-on-grade floors,concrete retaining walls, isolated
footings for columns, and continuous spread footings for load bearing walls. The project structural
engineer indicates that approximate column loads will range between 300 and 600 kips with column
spacing of 20 to 35 feet. The structure is planned with the lower floor partially below grade,
"daylighting"at the southern end of the building at approximately Elevation 85 feet.
Paved parking and driveways are planned around the perimeter of the building.
SCOPE OF WORK AND AUTHORIZATION
The scope of work for this foundation investigation was presented in our March 13,2001 proposal, and
consisted of a field exploration program of site reconnaissance,exploratory drilling,a cone penetrometer
test(CPT)sounding,geotechnical analyses,and preparation of this report. This scope of services and our
General Conditions for Geotechnical Services were authorized by Ken Lee on March 25,2001.
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Subsurface conditions were explored on March 29,2001 by drilling three exploratory solid-stem auger
borings(designated B-1 through B-3)to depths of 21.5 to 31.5 feet below the ground surface using a
trailer-mounted drill rig, and advancing one CPT sounding to a depth of 28.5 feet using a 20-ton, truck-
mounted cone penetrometer. Logs of the explorations are attached to this report. The exploration
locations are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. The explorations were located in the field by pacing or
taping distances from property corners and other site features. As such, the locations of the explorations
should be considered approximate.
During drilling of the auger borings,a GeoPacific engineering geologist observed and recorded pertinent
soil information such as color, stratigraphy, strength,and soil moisture. Samples were evaluated,
described,and classified in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System, and the
Oregon Department of Transportation Soil and Rock Classification Manual. Logs of our explorations are
attached to this report.
Laboratory testing for the project consisted of consolidation testing in general accordance with ASTM
D2435 and soil moisture content testing in general accordance with ASTM D2216. Consolidation testing
was performed on a relatively undisturbed Shelby Tube sample recovered from a depth of 12 feet in
boring B-2. Results of the consolidation testing are attached. Natural moisture samples were collected
in plastic bags. Moisture content is expressed as a percentage of the mass of water lost during oven
drying to the dry weight of soil. The moisture content test results are presented on the exploration logs at
the appropriate sample depth intervals.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The following discussion is a summary of subsurface conditions encountered in our explorations. For
more detailed information regarding subsurface conditions at specific exploration locations, refer to the
attached CPT sounding and boring logs. Also,please note that subsurface conditions can vary between
exploration locations, as discussed in the Uncertainty and Limitations section below.
Our exploration program indicates that the site is underlain by fill, native clayey silt belonging to the
Willamette Formation, and residual soil and weathered rock belonging to the Boring Lava. The observed
conditions and soil properties are summarized below.
Fill: Fill consisting of clayey SILT(ML)with gravel and localized areas of concrete rubble is present
within 2 to 4 feet of the ground surface. This fill appears to be associated with the prior development of
the site and construction of SW 68th Parkway.
Willamette Formation: Underlying the fill is clayey SILT(ML)belonging to the Willamette Formation.
Standard penetration tests indicate that the clayey SILT(ML)is generally stiff with N=values ranging
between 7 and 24.
Residual Soil and Weathered Boring Lava: Residual soils are the result of in-place(in-situ)
decomposition of bedrock. Residual soil consisting of clayey SILT(ML)with sand, fragments of
weathered basalt, weathered tuff(welded volcanic ash)and clay seams was encountered underlying the
Willamette Formation.. In borings, the thickness of residual soil ranged from 5 to 15 feet. Underlying
t the residual soil is weathered BASALT and TUFF belonging to the Boring Lava geologic unit. Practical
drill rig refusal was encountered on medium hard(R3)to hard(R4)rock at depths of 21.5 to 32 feet.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered in each of the auger borings at the site. On March 29,2001, static water
levels ranged between 5 and 11.3 feet below the ground surface. A pore pressure dissipation test
conducted in the CPT sounding indicated static groundwater level of about 111 feet below ground
surface. Groundwater conditions observed in borehole explorations can be very erratic because if often
takes hours or even days for the groundwater seepage to reach equilibrium; explorations are typically
only open a short time. The localized water table may actually be higher than that indicated during the
exploration program. The groundwater conditions reported above are for the specific date and locations
indicated,and therefore may not necessarily be indicative of other times and/or locations. Furthermore,
it is anticipated that groundwater conditions will vary depending on the season,local subsurface
conditions,changes in land use and other factors.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Our investigation indicates that the proposed development is geotechnically feasible,provided that the
recommendations of this report are incorporated into the design and construction phases of the project.

SITE PREPARATION
All proposed structure,parking and driveway areas to receive fill should first be cleared of vegetation
and any loose debris or undocumented fill, and all debris from clearing should be removed from the site.
Organic-rich topsoil should then be stripped. The final depth of stripping removal will be determined on
the basis of a site inspection after the initial stripping has been performed. Stripped topsoil should be
stockpiled only in designated areas and stripping operations should be observed and documented by the
geotechnical engineer or his representative. Any existing subsurface structures(tile drains,old utility
lines,septic leach fields,etc)beneath structures and pavements should be removed and the excavations
backfilled with engineered fill.
In construction areas,once stripping is approved,the area should be ripped or tilled to a depth of 12
inches,moisture conditioned, and compacted in-place prior to the placement of engineered fill or crushed
aggregate base for pavement. Exposed subgrade soils should be evaluated by the geotechnical engineer.
For large areas,this evaluation is normally performed by proof-rolling the exposed subgrade with a fully
loaded scraper or dump truck. For smaller areas where access is restricted, the subgrade should be
evaluated by probing the soil with a steel probe. Soft/loose soils identified during subgrade preparation
should be compacted to a firm and unyielding condition or over-excavated and replaced with engineered
fill,as described below. The depth of overexcavation, if required,should be evaluated by GeoPacific at
the time of construction.
• ROUGH GRADING
Grading for the proposed development should be performed as engineered grading in accordance with
Appendix 33 of the 1997 Uniform Building Code(UBC)unless specifically superseded herein. In
general,we anticipate that soils from the planned cuts will be suitable for use as engineered fill provided
it is adequately moisture conditioned prior to compacting. Imported fill material must be approved by
the geotechnical engineer prior to being imported to the site. Oversize material greater than 6 inches in
size should not be used within 3 feet of foundation footings,and material greater than 12 inches in
diameter should not be used in engineered fill.
Engineered fill should be compacted in horizontal lifts not exceeding 8 inches using standard compaction
equipment. We recommend that engineered fill be compacted to at least 95%of the maximum dry
density determined by ASTM D698 or equivalent. On-site soils may be wet of optimum,therefore, we
anticipate that aeration of native soil will be necessary for compaction operations performed during late
Spring to early Summer.
Proper test frequency and earthwork documentation usually requires daily observation and testing during
stripping, rough grading,and placement of engineered fill. Field density testing should conform to
ASTM D2922 and D3017,or D1556. All engineered fill should be observed and tested by the project
geotechnical engineer or his representative. Typically,one density test is performed for at least every 2
vertical feet of fill placed or every 500 yd3,whichever requires more testing. Because testing is
performed on an on-call basis,we recommend that the earthwork contractor be held contractually
responsible for test scheduling and frequency.
WET WEATHER EARTHWORK
The on-site soils are moisture sensitive and may be difficult to handle or traverse with construction
equipment during periods of wet weather. Earthwork is typically most economical when performed
under dry weather conditions. Earthwork performed during the wet-weather season will probably require
expensive measures such as cement treatment or imported granular material to compact fill to the
01.7231-tee Office 4 GEOPACIFIC ENGINEERING, INC.
July 3, 2001
GeoPacific Project No. 01-7231
recommended engineering specifications. If earthwork is to be performed or fill is to be placed in wet
weather or under wet conditions when soil moisture content is difficult to control,the following
recommendations should be incorporated into the contract specifications.
• Earthwork should be performed in small areas to minimize exposure to wet weather.
Excavation or the removal of unsuitable soils should be followed promptly by the placement
and compaction of clean engineered fill. The size and type of construction equipment used
may have to be limited to prevent soil disturbance. Under some circumstances, it may be
necessary to excavate soils with a backhoe to minimize subgrade disturbance caused by
equipment traffic.
• The ground surface within the construction area should be graded to promote run-off of
surface water and to prevent the ponding of water.
• Material used as engineered fill should consist of clean,granular soil containing less than 5
percent fines. The fines should be non-plastic. Alternatively,cement treatment of on-site
soils may be performed to facilitate wet weather placement.
• The ground surface within the construction area should be sealed by a smooth drum
vibratory roller,or equivalent,and under no circumstances should be left uncompacted and
exposed to moisture. Soils that become too wet for compaction should be removed and
replaced with clean granular materials.
• Excavation and placement of fill should be observed by the geotechnical engineer to verify
that all unsuitable materials are removed and suitable compaction and site drainage is
achieved.
• Bales of straw and/or geotextile silt fences should be strategically located to control erosion.
Under wet weather,the construction area will unavoidably become wet and the condition of fill or native
soils exposed will degrade. To limit the impacts of wet weather on the finished building pad surface,
consideration may be given to placement of a crushed aggregate pad. Where used,we recommend the
working pad be constructed using 11/2"-0 crushed aggregate,and should have minimum thickness of at
least 12 inches. This thickness is considered adequate to support light construction traffic, but will not
be sufficient to support heavy traffic such as loaded dump trucks or other heavy rubber-tired equipment.
SPREAD FOUNDATIONS
Based on our understanding of the proposed project and the results of our exploration program, and
assuming our recommendations for site preparation are followed,spread foundations may be a feasible
alternative for support of the planned building. The foundation system selected will depend on the final
design configuration, including lower finish floor elevation,total building height and loads,column
spacing,etc. Due to the compressibility of the native silt materials beneath the site, spread footing
bearing pressures will be limited by allowable settlement. In addition, maintaining settlements within
tolerable levels can be accomplished by overexcavation of soils beneath the footings,as discussed below.
If structural considerations dictate, a deep foundation pile alternative (auger-cast piles) is presented in a
subsequent section.

Design Considerations
Shallow,conventional isolated or continuous spread footings may be used to support the proposed
structures,provided they are founded on competent native soils,or compacted engineered fill placed
directly upon the competent native soils. We recommend a maximum allowable bearing pressure of
3,000 pounds per square foot(psf)for designing the footings. For a 600-kip column load, the estimated
primary settlement is 2' inches. The amount of settlement can be reduced by overexcavating subgrade
soils below the footing bottoms and backfilling the overexcavations with 1/z"-0 crushed rock. Table 1
shows our estimates of settlement under column loads of 300 and 600 kips, for overexcavation depths of
0,2 and 4 feet below bottom of footing.
Table 1. Estimated Primary Settlement of Footings at 3,000 psf Allowable Bearing Pressure

Rock Beneath Footing(feet) 300-kip Column Load 600-kip Column Load
0 13/4 21
4 11/4 1 1/2
High groundwater levels beneath the,structure result in the potential for fluctuating groundwater to soften
subgrade soils and/or result in additional settlements due to changes in stress conditions beneath
footings. As a result, it is our opinion that at least 2 feet of crushed rock should be provided beneath
footings to protect against the effects of fluctuating groundwater levels. Where used,the crushed rock
should be compacted to engineered fill standards as recommended in the Rough Grading section. The
crushed rock should extend beyond the footing edges,with the base of the crushed rock layer at least as
wide as a 1H:1V projection downward from the footing edges.
The maximum allowable bearing pressure may be increased by 1/3 the recommended value,for short-
term transient conditions such as wind and seismic loading. All footings should be founded at least 24
inches below the lowest adjacent finished grade or below top of slab(interior footings). We recommend
minimum footing widths of 18 and 24 inches for continuous strip and isolated column footings,
respectively.
Assuming construction is accomplished as recommended herein, and for the foundation loads
• anticipated,we estimate total settlement of spread foundations as indicated in Table 1, and differential
settlement between two adjacent load-bearing components of about one-half the total estimated. We
anticipate that the majority of the estimated settlement will occur during construction, as loads are
applied. It should be noted that settlements indicated in Table 1 are for the maximum thickness of native
silt materials anticipated, at the southern end of the building. In the northern portion of the building,
portions of the compressible silt unit will be removed during excavations for the partial below-grade
floor, resulting in a decrease in estimated settlement toward the north.
Wind,earthquakes, and unbalanced earth loads will subject the proposed structure to lateral forces.
Lateral forces on a structure will be resisted by a combination of sliding resistance of its base or footing
on the underlying soil and passive earth pressure against the buried portions of the structure. For use in
design, a coefficient of friction of 0.5 may be assumed along the interface between the base of the
footing and subgrade soils. Passive earth pressure for buried portions of structures may be calculated
a using an equivalent fluid weight of 400 pounds per cubic foot(pcf),assuming footings are cast against
competent native soils or engineered fill. The recommended coefficient of friction and passive earth
a

pressure values do not include a safety factor. The upper 12 inches of soil should be neglected in passive
pressure computations unless it is protected by pavement or slabs on grade.
Construction Considerations
All footing excavations should be trimmed neat and the bottom of the excavation should be carefully
prepared. All loose or softened soil should be removed from the footing excavation prior to placing
reinforcing steel bars. We recommend that footing excavations be observed by the geotechnical engineer
prior to placing steel and concrete,to verify that the recommendations of this report have been followed,
and that an appropriate bearing stratum has been exposed.
If footing excavations are open during the winter season or periods of wet weather, it may be helpful to
provide a lean concrete mat or a layer of crushed aggregate to help preserve the subgrade until the
footings are cast. If lean concrete is used,a 2-sack mix is recommended. If crushed aggregate is used to
protect the footing subgrade, it should consist of 11/2"-0 crushed a::regate per the Oregon Department of
Transportation(ODOT)Standard Specifications.
Footing Drains
The outside edge of all perimeter footings should be provided with a drainage system consisting of
4-inch diameter,perforated,rigid plastic pipe embedded in a minimum of 1 ft3 per lineal foot of clean,
free-draining sand and gravel or 2"-1/2"drain rock. The use of flexible, thin-walled,corrugated plastic
pipe should be avoided. The drain pipe and surrounding drain rock should be wrapped in non-woven
geotextile(Mirafi 140N,or approved equivalent)to rnininme. the potential for clogging and/or ground
loss due to piping. Water collected from the footing drains should be directed into the local storm drain
system or other suitable outlet. A minimum 0.5 percent fall should be maintained throughout the drain
and non-perforated pipe outlet. Down spouts and roof drains should not be connected to the foundation
drains in order to reduce the potential for clogging and/or introduction of roof drain water into the
subsurface. The footing drains should include clean-outs to allow periodic maintenance and inspection.
Grades around the proposed structure should be sloped such that surface water drains away from the
building.
AUGER-CAST PILE ALTERNATIVE
I
Design Considerations
In our opinion,auger-cast piles are a suitable foundation alternative for the structures. This may be the
most viable foundation support alternative if the structure is planned to be 4 stories with 600-kip column
loads. Auger-cast piles should be embedded a minimum of 5 feet into hard weathered basalt,anticipated
at depths ranging from about 12 to 23 feet below the planned lower finish floor elevation of 85 feet.
Total pile lengths would therefore be in the range of 17 to 28 feet below planned finish floor grade.
Variable pile lengths should be anticipated due to the irregular depth to basalt rock beneath the site,
variable depth of excavation for the structure,etc. Recommended allowable vertical, uplift, and lateral
loads for 16- and 20-inch diameter auger-cast piles embedded at least 5 feet into hard weathered basalt
materials are presented in Table 2.

The recommended vertical and uplift capacities include safety factors of approximately 3 and 2
respectively. Lateral capacities were estimated assuming a limiting lateral deflection of 1/2 inch at the
pile top,free head conditions,vertical loads equal to the allowable vertical capacity for each pile,and
pile length of 25 feet. The lateral pile capacities listed above do not include a factor of safety. If needed
for design, GeoPacific can perform additional lateral pile capacity analysis using the LPILE computer
model,to determine pile deflections,maximum pile moment and depth to zero shear.
We recommend a minimum pile spacing of 2.5 pile diameters. For this spacing, the concrete grout
should be allowed to cure at least 24 hours prior to installing adjacent piles. No reduction in vertical pile
capacity for group action is necessary for piles installed on spacings of at least 2.5 pile diameters.
Construction Considerations
Auger-cast piles are installed by drilling with a continuous flight hollow stem auger to the required
depth,and pumping grout through the hollow stem as the auger is withdrawn. Once the auger is
completely removed,steel reinforcement can be placed in the grout-filled bore hole. The rate at which
the auger is withdrawn must be consistent with grout supply. If the auger is withdrawn too quickly, the
pile will be under-grouted,resulting in"necking"of the pile,or contamination of grout materials from
caving soil.
The quality of auger-cast concrete piles is primarily dependent on the procedures and workmanship of
the contractor who installs them. A properly functioning pressure gage and pump stroke counter or flow
meter should be provided on the grout pump to assist in monitoring auger cast pile installation. The
• counter is used to determine the approximate volume of grout pumped by counting the number of strokes
of a displacement-type pump. The pump should,therefore,be calibrated prior to its use. Use of a flow
meter on the grout hose allows direct measurement of grout volume. The pressure gage is used to
monitor the pressure of the grout to evaluate the rate at which the auger should be retracted, and if the
auger or hoses are plu-:ed. The auger should be withdrawn with slow positive rotation at a slow steady
pull and should not be pulled until the grout has been pumped a few feet above the tip.
Because of the inherent operator-sensitive nature of auger cast pile quality, installation should be
subcontracted to an experienced contractor. Furthermore,all pile installation operations should be
monitored by the geotechnical engineer.
PERMANENT BELOW-GRADE WALLS
• Lateral earth pressures against below-grade retaining walls depend upon the inclination of the back-
slope,degree of wall restraint, type of backfill,method of backfill placement,degree of backfill
compaction,drainage provisions,and magnitude and location of any surcharge loads. At-rest soil
pressure is exerted on a subsurface wall when the wall is restrained against rotation. Such restraint may
be the result of an inherently stiff wall or if the wall is braced by rigid structural elements,such as a floor
A

GeoPacific Project No.01-7231
system. In contrast,active soil pressure will be exerted on a subsurface wall if the top of the wall is
allowed to rotate or yield.
For this project, it is anticipated that subsurface walls will be restrained by structural floors. As such,an
at-rest earth pressure equivalent to that generated by a fluid weighing 50 pounds per cubic foot(pcf)is
recommended for use in design. If yielding walls are required, they should be designed for an active
earth pressure of 32 pcf. The above recommendations assume no adjacent surcharge loading. If the
walls will be subjected to the influence of surcharge loading within a horizontal distance less than the
height of the wall,the walls should be designed for the surcharge loading,using a suitable method.
The recommendations assume that drainage provisions,as described below,will be included in the
design of the walls. Accordingly,the recommended lateral earth pressures do not include hydrostatic
pressure.
The lateral load resistance of retaining wall footings will be a combination of sliding resistance of the
footings on the underlying soil and passive earth pressure against the sides of the footings. The lateral
load resistance of retaining wall footings may be evaluated using the parameters recommended in the
Spread Foundations section.
During a seismic event, lateral earth pressures acting on below-grade structural walls will increase by an
incremental amount that corresponds to the earthquake loading. A concomitant decrease in passive earth
pressure also occurs. However, if at-rest earth pressures are used in design,a conservative structural
design that can readily accommodate the temporary seismic overloading conditions generally results.
Therefore,it is our opinion that the dynamic incremental pressures from earthquake loading may be
neglected if the below-grade structures are designed based on at-rest earth pressures.
Adequate drainage of below-grade walls is critical to long-term performance. For embedded structural
walls,we recommend prefabricated geosynthetic drain panels be placed behind the wall,extending the
full height of the wall. The drain panels should be Miradrain G100N or an approved equivalent. These
drainage panels should be at least 12 inches wide and placed on 5-foot centers.
Drainage at the base of the wall should consist of a minimum 4-inch diameter perforated pipe,
surrounded in pea gravel. The prefabricated vertical drain sheets should be wrapped around the
perforated pipe. All water collected by the toe drains should be directed under control to a positive and
permanent discharge system such as the storm sewer.
CONCRETE SLABS-ON-GRADE
Preparation of areas beneath concrete slab-on-grade floors should be performed as recommended in the
Site Preparation section. A minimum of 12 inches of compacted granular structural fill should be
provided below the floor slab and capillary break materials. Prior to constructing concrete slabs-on-
grade,if subgrade soils have been adversely impacted by wet weather or otherwise disturbed,the
surficial soils should be scarified to a minimum depth of 8 inches, moisture conditioned to within about 3
percent of optimum moisture content,and compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density,
determined using ASTM 0698(Standard Proctor). Scarification and compaction will not be required if
floor slabs are placed directly on recently placed engineered fill.
Concrete slab-on-grade floors should have a minimum thickness of 4 inches. This recommendation is
based on geotechnical conditions only;structural considerations such as heavy, concentrated loads may
dictate thicker floor slabs. Where concrete slabs are designed as beams on an elastic foundation, the
01-7231-Lee Office 9 GEOPACIFIC ENGINEERING, INC.
July 3, 2001
GeoPacific Project No. 01-7231
compacted subgrade may be assumed to have a modulus of subgrade reaction of 75 pounds per cubic
inch.
Interior slab-on-grade floors should be provided with an adequate moisture break. The capillary break
material should consist of free-draining,crushed rock or well-graded sand and gravel,with a maximum
particle size of 3/4 inch,with no more than 80 percent passing the No. 4 sieve and less than 5 percent fines
(material passing the U.S.Standard No. 200 sieve). For dry-weather construction,the minimum
recommended thickness of capillary break materials on re-compacted soil subgrade is 6 inches. The total
thickness of crushed aggregate will be dependent on the subgrade conditions at the time of construction,
and should be verified visually by proof-rolling. Under-slab aggregate should be compacted to at least
95%of its maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557 or equivalent.
Due to the shallow groundwater conditions on site,we recommend an underslab drainage system to
reduce the potential for groundwater intrusion to create a wet slab condition. The underslab drain system
should consist of a series of 4-inch diameter perforated PVC pipes,placed 20 feet on center. The
perforated pipe should be surrounded by a minimum of 0.7 ft per lineal foot of drain rock,and the pipe
and drain rock wrapped in filter fabric(Mirafi 140N or equivalent). Drain pipe invert elevation should
range from about 12 to 18 inches below the bottom of the slab. The pipes should be connected and
provided with minimal slope to drain into the storm drain system or other approved outlet. A sump and
pump system should be provided for permanent dewatering of the below-grade floor level.
In areas where moisture will be detrimental to floor coverings or equipment inside the proposed
structures,a 10-mil polyethylene vapor barrier should be placed directly over the capillary break. An
approximately 2-inch thick layer of sand should be placed over the vapor barrier to protect it from
damage, to aid in curing of the concrete,and also to help prevent cement from bleeding down into the
underlying capillary break materials. Consideration may be given to providing additional protection to
reduce the potential for damp floors and damage to moisture-sensitive flooring, including the following:
1) Maintain a slab water cement ratio of 0.42 or less utilizing mid-range plasticizers.
2) Thicken the rock subgrade to a minimum of 12 inches and utilize clean rock with no more
than 2%fines.
3) Slope the subgrade soil away from the center of the slab at an approximate gradient of 1%.
4) Apply a moisture intrusion barrier on the slab(Preseal, Creteseal or approved equivalent) to
the surface of the concrete while curing.
Moisture barrier products should be installed in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. The
building should be complete and the HVAC system operating for a period of time during wet-weather
before moisture-sensitive flooring is applied. This time period should be long enough to allow the vapor
gradient within and below the building to stabilize and obtain acceptable slab moisture content.
SEISMIC DESIGN
The project site lies within Seismic Zone 3,as defined in Chapter 16, Division IV of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code(UBC). Seismic Zone 3 includes the western portion of Oregon,and represents an area of
relatively high seismic risk. For comparison, much of California and southern Alaska are defined as
Seismic Zone 4,which is an area of highest seismic risk. Consequently, moderate levels of earthquake
01-7231-Lee Office 10 GEOPACIFIC ENGINEERING, INC.
July 3, 2001
GeoPacific Project No. 01-7231
shaking should be anticipated during the design life of the proposed improvements,and the structures
should be designed to resist earthquake loading in accordance with the methodology described in the
1997 UBC. Based on the subsurface conditions we observed during our exploration program, UBC Soil
Type SD may be assumed for the site. The corresponding seismic factors may be used in developing
normalized response spectra for the assumed UBC Soil Type.
Potential seismic impacts also include secondary effects such as soil liquefaction,fault rupture potential,
and other hazards as discussed below:
• Soil Liquefaction Potential—Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein saturated soil
deposits temporarily lose strength and behave as a liquid in response to earthquake shaking.
Soil liquefaction is generally limited to loose,granular soils located below the water table.
On-site soils consist of generally medium stiff to very stiff fine-grained soils that are not
considered susceptible to liquefaction. Therefore, it is our opinion that special design or
construction measures are not required to mitigate the effects of liquefaction.
• Fault Rupture Potential—Based on our review of available geologic literature,we are not
aware of any mapped active(demonstrating movement in the last 10,000 years) faults on the
site. During our field investigation,we did not observe any evidence of surface rupture or
recent faulting. Therefore,we conclude that the potential for fault rupture on site is very
low.
• Seismic Induced Landslide Site grades are gentle to moderate,with total relief across the
site of about 65 feet,and slope inclinations of about 10 percent in the vicinity of the
proposed building. The potential for slope instability and seismic induced landslide on site
is considered low to very low.
• Effects of Local Geology and Topography—In our opinion,no additional seismic hazard
will occur due to local geology or topography. The site is expected to have no greater
seismic hazard than surrounding properties and the Tigard area in general.

EXCAVATING CONDITIONS AND U I1LITY TRENCHES
We anticipate that on-site soils can be excavated using conventional heavy equipment such as scrapers
and trackhoes. Based on results of our exploration program,it appears that a medium to large excavator
will be capable of reaching excavation depths of 8 to 10 feet over most of the site with moderate effort.
Deeper excavations into the medium hard to hard basalt rock would require heavy ripping, use of
pneumatic rock breakers,or other rock removal methods.
Maintenance of safe working conditions,including temporary excavation stability, is the responsibility
of the contractor. Actual slope inclinations at the time of construction should be determined based on
safety requirements and actual soil and groundwater conditions. All temporary cuts in excess of 4 feet in
height should be sloped in accordance with U.S. Occupational Safety and Heath Administration (OSHA)
regulations(29 CFR Part 1926),or be shored. The existing native soils classify as Type B Soil and
temporary excavation side slope inclinations as steep as 1H:1V may be assumed for planning purposes.
This cut slope inclination is applicable to excavations above the water table only.
Vibrations created by traffic and construction equipment may cause some caving and raveling of
excavation walls. In such an event,lateral support for the excavation walls should be provided by the

contractor to prevent loss of ground support and possible distress to existing or previously constructed
structural improvements.
PVC or thermoplastic pipe should be installed in accordance with the procedures specified in ASTM
D2321. We recommend that structural trench backfill be compacted to at least 95 percent of the
maximum dry density obtained by Standard Proctor(ASTM D698)or equivalent. Initial backfill lift
thickness for a 3/i'-0 crushed aggregate base may need to be as great as 4 feet to reduce the risk of
flattening underlying flexible pipe. Subsequent lift thicknesses should not exceed 2 feet. If imported
granular fill material is used,then the lifts for large vibrating plate-compaction equipment(e.g. hoe
compactor attachments)may be up to 2 feet,provided that proper compaction is being achieved and each
lift is tested. Use of large vibrating compaction equipment should be carefully monitored near existing
structures and improvements due to the potential for vibration-induced damage.
Sufficient density testing should be performed during construction to verify the specified relative
compaction is being achieved. Typically,one density test is taken for every 4 vertical feet of backfill on
each 200-lineal-foot section of trench.
DEWATERING
Groundwater seepage will likely be encountered in trench excavations during construction, especially
following an extended period of wet weather. If shallow groundwater is encountered during excavation,
we expect that it can generally be controlled by using ditches,sumps,and pumps,provided excavations
do not extend greater than a few feet below the groundwater level. Regardless of the dewatering system
used, it should be installed and operated such that in-place soils are prevented from being removed along
with the groundwater.
a
If groundwater is encountered within sand deposits during construction,reasonable care should be taken
to prevent groundwater from flowing in from the bottom of the excavation, thereby creating a"quick"
condition. Under quick conditions,the density of the natural soils will be reduced, resulting in increased
pipe settlement during and after construction. To reduce the risk of creating a quick condition,we
recommend the groundwater level be kept at least 2 feet below the bottom of the excavation in areas
where sand is encountered.
Shallow groundwater conditions may impact the planned below-grade lower floor of the building. A
permanent drainage system consisting of a sump and pump,outletting to the storm drain system,is
lr recommended.
PAVEMENT SECTIONS
The scope of our investigation did not include an evaluation of subgrade strength for pavement design.
However,a typical minimum pavement section for dry-weather construction conditions and soil
subgrade similar to that at the project site is presented in Table 3. This typical section is for average
automobile and light truck traffic loading at office building sites.

Subgrade soils should be compacted to a firm and relatively unyielding condition, to provide adequate
support for pavement sections. GeoPacific recommends proof rolling directly on subgrade with a loaded
{ dump truck during dry weather and on top of base course in wet weather in order to verify subgrade
strength during construction. Ripping,tilling,moisture conditioning and recompaction of native soils to
at least 95%of ASTM D698 or equivalent may be necessary to create a stable base for pavement
sections. Soft areas that pump,rut,or weave should be stabilized prior to paving. If pavement areas are
to be constructed during wet weather,GeoPacific should review subgrade conditions at the time of
construction so that specific recommendations can be provided. Wet-weather pavement construction is
likely to require soil amendment,or geotextile fabric and a 6-inch increase in base rock thickness.
During placement of pavement section materials,density testing should be performed to verify
compliance with project specifications. Generally,one subgrade,one base course,and one asphalt
compaction test is performed for every 100 to 200 linear feet of paving.
EROSION CONTROL
During our field exploration program,we did not observe soil types that would be considered highly
susceptible to erosion. In our opinion,the primary concern regarding erosion potential will occur during
construction, in areas that have been stripped of vegetation. Erosion at the site during construction can
be minimized by implementing the project erosion control plan,which should include judicious use of
straw bales and silt fences. If used,these erosion control devices should be in place and remain in place
throughout site preparation and construction.
ti
Erosion and sedimentation of exposed soils can also be minimized by quickly re-vegetating exposed
areas of soil,and by staging construction such that large areas of the project site are not denuded and
exposed at the same time. Areas of exposed soil requiring immediate and/or temporary protection
against exposure should be covered with either mulch or erosion control netting/blankets. Areas of
exposed soil requiring permanent stabilization should be seeded with an approved grass seed mixture,or
hydroseeded with an approved seed-mulch-fertilizer mixture.
