GeoPacific Engineering Inc. visited the site on yesterday to review the single family home foundation subgrade on Lot 12. We understand that the proposed building is a two-story home. In our opinion, the observed subgrade is generally adequate for support to an allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. The expected maximum anticipated total and differential footing movements (generally from soil expansion and/or settlement)are 1 inch and 3/4 inch, respectively, over a span of 20 feet. At the time of our site visit, the excavation was nearly complete. The excavation consisted of predominantly stiff native, residual clayey silt soil that could be probed less than 1 to 4 inches with heavy pressure using a steel `T"bar probe. These soils are considered adequate to support the planned foundation loads. Footing-to-slope setbacks were not an issue. Due to rocky and silty soils encountered throughout the site, all foundations should incorporate appropriate drainage measures. Crawlspaces should be provided with a low-point drain and pass through pipes should be installed through footings which would otherwise restrict water flow to the low-point drain. Care should be taken to avoid saturation or disturbance of footing subgrade soils during and after excavation. If footing bearing soils become saturated or disturbed, any softened soil or slough should be removed and replaced with crushed aggregate or additional concrete. 14835 SW 72nd Avenue Tel (503)598-8445 Portland,Oregon 97224 Fax (503)941-9281 414, Project No. 12-2704 South View Lot 12 Our work scope pertains to a geotechnical engineer's foundation excavation conditions existingand exposed review only and the at the time of our site visit.
