2. GeoPacific Engineering, Inc., Summary Report Of Geotechnical Observation and Testing,
Annand Hill Subdivision, Tigard, Oregon, dated June 26, 2017.
GeoPacific Engineering Inc. visited the site today to review the single-family home foundation
subgrade on Lot 5. We understand that the proposed building is a single-story home. In our opinion,
the observed subgrade is adequate for support to an allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf.
At the time of our site visit, the excavation was nearly complete, and, after removal of about 2 to 3
feet of soft fill soils in areas, soils exposed in foundation excavation consisted of predominantly stiff
compacted fill soils that could be probed about 'i to 3 inches with moderate pressure using a steel
"T" bar probe. The expected maximum anticipated total and differential footing movements
(generally from soil expansion and/or settlement) are 1 inch and % inch, respectively, over a span of
20 feet. It should be noted that the on-site soils are very moisture sensitive,and will soften
significantly in wet weather conditions if not adequately protected.
Due to relatively impervious silty and clayey 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.
conditions existing and exposed at the time of our site visit. Within the limitations of scope, schedule
and budget, GeoPacific attempted to execute these services in accordahce with generally accepted
professional principles and practices in the fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering
geology at the time the report was prepared. No warranty, express or implied, is made. If you have
any questions, please call.
