INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This report presents the results of a Geotechnical Engineering Study for the proposed site in Coppell,
Texas. This report has been prepared and submitted in general accordance with our Proposal No. DA-
07 -0362, dated December 13, 2007.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
It is understood that this project will consist of a new City owned cemetery. The site is generally open
ground with some tree cover. The Phase I area is generally flat but the overall site slopes to the east
and the north end of the site slopes to the north. It is anticipated that generally shallow cuts and fills
will be required during site development. The Phase I development will consist of a single pavilion, a
columbarium, entry gates, a fence system, flag poles, a city feature area and related parking, access
driveways, and walkways. Phase II will consist of a Mortuary and related parking. It is understood that
structure loads will be light, with wood and light metal frames.
A site layout plan was provided to CTL, which provided the proposed layout of the facility. Our field
exploration was completed based on the site plan provided by the client.
SCOPE OF SERVICE
The scope of this study consisted of field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and
report preparation. The engineering evaluations conducted and recommendations developed for this
study include the following:
. General site subsurface stratigraphy conditions;
· On-site subsurface material characteristics and their effects on design and construction;
. Groundwater conditions;
. Suitable foundation type and foundation design criteria;
. Recommended pavement sections;
· General geotechnical construction requirements; and
1r
· Other geotechnical design and construction considerations related to the proposed
construction.
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
GENERAL
A field exploration and laboratory testing program was completed as a part of this study. The following
sections provide a detailed description of our field and laboratory testing programs.
FIELD PROGRAM
Eighteen (18) borings were drilled for this project. The borings (B-1 through B-18) were drilled in the
proposed building areas, fence areas and pavement areas. The borings were completed with a Mobile
B-57 drilling rig. The approximate locations of the borings are shown on the Boring Location Plan,
Figure 1.
Sampling of the cohesive soils was performed using seamless tube samplers hydraulically advanced
into the subsurface materials. The undisturbed tube soil samples were evaluated for consistency in
the field with a pocket penetrometer. All undisturbed tube samples were extruded in the field,
classified, wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic bags and placed in wax coated core boxes.
Soil samples were also obtained in the test borings by driving a split-spoon sampler 18 inches into the
subsurface materials using a 140 pound hammer free falling 30 inches. The number of blows for each
6 inches of penetration was recorded and the total number of blows required to drive the second and
third 6 inch intervals constitutes the standard penetration resistance in blows per foot, referred to as
the N value. A maximum of 50 blows without penetrating 6 inches is considered refusal. This value
was used to evaluate the engineering properties of the soil layer.
Logs of all ofthe test borings, presenting visual descriptions ofthe subsurface materials encountered
are included as Figures 2 through 19. Sampling information and pertinent field data are also included.
A Soil Classification Chart identifying the different symbols used on the Logs of Borings is included on
Figure 20.

SITE CONDITIONS
GENERAL SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions at the site generally consist of a dark grayish brown sandy clay at the
ground surface over much of the site. Moving north across the Phase I area, the soils become sandy
with very sandy soils encountered on the north side of the site. The soils generally become yellow
brown and sandy with depth. Sand was encountered below the site at depths ranging from 10 to 15
feet on the south side ofthe side to near the ground surface on the north end ofthe site. The sand was
typically medium dense. Some shallow sandy clay fill soils were also encountered in several of the
borings.

Review of the available geologic mapping indicates that the site is underlain by the Woodbine
Formation. Geological descriptions indicate the residual soils consist of clay, sandy clay, and sand.
Soils are typically grayish brown to dark grayish brown becoming yellowish brown with depth. Based
on the results of the field and laboratory tests conducted for this investigation, the generalized
subsurface stratigraphy at the site can be grouped into four strata and are summarized in the following
table. Note that depth on test borings refers to the depth from the existing grade or ground surface
present at the time of the investigation. Boundaries between the various soil types are approximate.

GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Groundwater was not encountered in the borings during the field exploration. Groundwater levels
should be anticipated to fluctuate with seasonal variations in precipitation and groundwater levels
should be verified on this site prior to any underground construction. Particularly groundwater
movement in sandy intervals on this site should be expected during and after periods of heavy rainfall.
POTENTIAL VERTICAL MOVEMENT
Atterberg Limits test results indicate that the fat and lean clay soils at the site have Plasticity Indices
(PI's) which generally range from 10 to 37. These soils can be classified as moderately to highly plastic
soil which will classify as CL and CH by the Unified Soil Classification System. Some of the deeper
sandy soils had plasticity indices of 19 to 22. These soils will generally classify as clayey sands.
These sandy soils can also be potentially active from a dry in situ moisture condition. The PI of a soil
is an indication of the soil's potential to shrink or swell with changes in moisture content. The general
relationship between PI and the volume change potential of a soil is shown in the following table.

It is known that shrink/swell potential is greater where expansive soils occur in significant thickness
from the ground surface and in a climatic condition which allows wetting and drying of the soils.
Based on the swell test results, the near surface clays, clayey sands, indicated swells of none to 4.5
percent. Swells of the deeper clays below 5 feet ranged from 1.5 to 3.3 percent. PVMs on the order of
2.5 to 3 inches are estimated for this site based on the dry moisture conditions of the soils. Clay soils
should be prevented from drying once exposed during the construction. This could help limit potential
movement of structures or pavements supported near the surface ofthe site. Potential movement may
be reduced further by subgrade treatment of the dry clays and clayey sands. This will involve
undercutting the dry soils, moisture treatment and replacement ofthe soils below the future structures
and other areas which will be sensitive to movement. An alternate procedure consists of pressure
injecting the soils.
ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
STRUCTURES
Subsurface conditions at this site consist of highly to moderately plastic fat clay and sandy clay soils
with a low to moderately high swell potential. The sandy clays, and clayey sands which have moderate
to low plasticity indices, can be expansive when they exist in a dry and dense in situ moisture
condition. The active soils remain stable with constant moisture contents; however, a change in the
moisture content will cause the soil to swell or shrink thereby potentially causing movement and
possible damage to overlying structures. Based on the subsurface conditions observed in the borings
at the site, the most positive method of controlling the effects of vertical movements due to soil heave
or shrinkage over time would be to structurally support any structures which are sensitive to
movement on drilled shafts extending to near the top of the sand. Where some potential movement

can be tolerated, the building structures can be supported on more shallow soil supported foundations
where the active soils have been moisture conditioned to reduce their swell potential. The lightly
loaded building structures can be supported on shallow foundations which could experience some
movement; therefore, a ribbed mat type foundation, typical for light residential construction is
recommended. Design and construction recommendations for the foundation systems are presented
in the following sections.
The various structures planned at this site can generally be supported on several different types of
foundation systems depending on loading and sensitivity to movement. The following table provides
the various options:

DRILLED SHAFT FOUNDATION SUPPORT
General Design Considerations - Straight Drilled Shafts -
Straight drilled reinforced concrete shafts situated in the medium dense sand may be used to support
the proposed fence and entrance gate and the various building foundations. Straight Drilled Shaft
Foundations should extend to a depth of at least 15 feet below the bottom of the fence or building
grade beams, assuming the bottom of the fence or the structures will be constructed near existing
grades. An allowable end bearing pressure of 7,000 psf is recommended for shafts bearing in the sand
after a penetration of 15 feet below grade (F.S. 2.5+). An allowable side resistance of 375 psf may be
considered to support axial loads after penetrating 8 feet below the final ground surface (F.S. 2+) The
side resistance may be increased by 30 psf per foot of depth below the top of the sand. An allowable
side resistance of 375 psf may be considered to resist uplift loads after penetrating 8 feet below the
S:\DAOB072.000\ 125\reports\DA08072.rpt.doc

"
final ground surface (F.S. 2+), and this side resistance may be increased by 30 psf per foot of depth
below the top of the sand.
Settlement of drilled shafts is estimated to be one inch, or less. Differential settlement between shafts
is estimated to be less than one inch. The settlements of shafts will be primarily elastic with some of
the settlement occurring during loading. The settlement response ofthe shafts will be impacted more
by the quality of construction than by the response ofthe bearing stratum to the final structure loads.
The drilled shafts should be spaced at a minimum spacing of 2.5 shaft diameters apart in order to
utilize the maximum allowable bearing pressure and side resistance recommended. Closer spacing
will require reduction in side resistance and possibly end bearing. A passive soil pressure may be
considered to act on the shafts to resist lateral loads. A maximum allowable lateral resistance value of
1,000 psf is recommended in clay soils and 1,200 psf is recommended in sand below 10 feet from
existing grade. Neglect the top 6 feet below the ground surface when considering lateral shaft
resistance on straight drilled shafts.
Due to the presence of highly plastic active clay soils at the site, we recommend that shafts be
designed for a potential average uplift pressure of 1 ,000 psf to act on the top 8 feet of the drilled shafts.
Structure dead load and side resistance in the deeper clays and medium dense to dense sands will
provide uplift resistance.
Construction Considerations - Straight Drilled Shafts
Excavations for the shafts should be maintained in the dry. Groundwater was not encountered during
the field exploration. Groundwater could be encountered at this site during and after periods of
seasonal rainfall.
The concrete should have a Slump in the range of 6 inches, plus or minus one inch. The concrete must
be placed in a manner to avoid striking the reinforcing steel during placement. Higher slump ranges
are typically required if the concrete will be placed by pumping. Compete installation of individual
shafts should be accomplished within an 8 hour period in dry excavations and preferably as rapidly as
possible in order to reduce deterioration of bearing surfaces and to reduce the chance of water
accumulation at the bottom of the shaft excavation.

General Design Considerations - Drilled and Underreamed Shafts
As an option to the deeper straight drilled shafts, consideration may be given to use of drilled and
underreamed shafts to support building structures and the fence and gate structures. These shafts
could be subject to possible caving in some areas of the site due to sandy soils which can be
encountered above the sands. The following recommendations are provided for drilled and
underreamed shaft foundation design:
Design Parameters Design Value
Depth to Bottom of Underreams (1) 10 feet
Bearing Stratum CLAY (CL-CH)
(Stratum III)
Minimum Underreamed to Shaft Diameter Ratio 2:1
Maximum Underreamed to Shaft Diameter Ratio 2.5:1
Maximum Allowable Bearing Capacity (F.S. = 2.5+) 4,000 psf
. 11/
NOTE. Based on less than 2 feet of cut or fill to achieve final grades.
The maximum allowable bearing capacity is based on a factor of safety of 2.5. Where the structure is
subject to very temporary loads such as wind loads, the allowable bearing pressure may be increased
by 15%. Where drilled and underreamed shafts are used, we recommend that the site grading plan be
provided so that the shaft bottom elevation can be set below the bottom elevation of the planned
building finish floor elevations. It is assumed that the fences will be constructed near existing grades.
Where cuts or fills more that about 1.5 feet are required, CTL should be advised to determine ifthis will
affect the recommended shaft depths. Foundation settlements will be primarily elastic with some of
the settlement occurring during construction. Shaft settlement is estimated to be on the order of 1
inch, or less, with differential settlement of about75 percent of total settlement. In order to prevent the
settlement effects of adjacent shafts, underreamed shafts should be spaced at least one underream
diameter apart. The settlement response of the underreamed shafts will be impacted more by the
quality of construction than by the response of the bearing stratum to the final structure loads.
Vertical shaft reinforcing is recommended to be computed based on an average upward side pressure
due to swelling of the expansive clay soils of 1,000 pounds per square foot (pst). This uplift pressure

T
should be uniformly applied over the perimeter of the drilled and underreamed shafts for a maximum
depth of 8 feet from the top of the shaft. Permanent structure dead load forces may be considered to
resist soil uplift pressures. Uplift pressure may also be resisted by soil pressure on top of the
underream. A maximum allowable bearing pressure of 5,000 psf is recommended to resist uplift
pressure on the top of the underream. The pressure has a factor of safety of two or more.
A passive soil pressure may be considered to act on the shafts to resist lateral loads. A passive
pressure of 1,000 psf may be considered to act on the sides of the drilled shafts below a depth of 6
feet. The pressures have a factor of safety of two or more.
Underreamed shafts should be spaced at least one underream diameter apart in order to prevent the
settlement effects of closer spacing.
Construction Considerations - Drilled and Underreamed Shafts
Excavations for the shafts must be maintained in the dry. Groundwater was not encountered in the
borings at the time they were drilled. Groundwater is not anticipated to affect the construction of
underream shafts founded at a depth of about 10 feet below the existing grades. However, seepage
could be encountered at different depths if construction proceeds during a wet period of the year. In
some cases, rapid placement of steel and concrete may permit underreamed shaft installation to
proceed; however, if seepage rates reach a magnitude that does not facilitate the cutting of a clean
underream with a proper bearing surface, or there is accumulation of water in the bottom of the shaft
excavation, then some adjustment in the shaft depths may be required for proper installation. Test
shafts can be drilled to verify the groundwater conditions before drilling on the site.
Sandy soils could be encountered on this site near a depth of 10 feet. These soils could be subject to
some sloughing and caving during drilling. Deeper shafts will encounter more sandy soils; therefore
where cuts are required during site development, shafts to about 10 feet could encounter the deeper
sands. Where caving is a problem during the installation ofthe underreams, the shafts will need to be
extended as straight drilled shafts to depths recommended previously in Straight Drilled Shafts.
The concrete should have slump of 6 inches, plus or minus 1 inch and must be placed in a manner to
avoid striking the reinforcing steel during placement. Complete installation of individual underreamed

shafts should be accomplished within an 8 hour period in dry excavations and preferably as rapidly as
possible in order to reduce deterioration of bearing surfaces.
Allowable bearing capacity recommendations provided in this report are based on proper construction
procedures, including maintaining a dry shaft excavation and proper cleaning of bearing surfaces prior
to placing reinforcing steel and concrete. All underreamed shaft installations should be carefully
observed by geotechnical personnel to help verify the bearing stratum, the total depth, the
groundwater conditions, proper underreaming (belling) techniques, and to perform related duties.
In addition to the above guidelines, the specifications from the Association of Drilled Shaft Contractors
Inc., "Standards and Specifications for the Foundation Drilling Industry" or other recognized
specifications for proper installation of underreamed shaft foundation systems should be followed.
Drilled Shaft Supported Wall Footings or Wall Grade Beams
The site exhibits potential vertical movements (PVM) on the order of several inches based on a dry
moisture condition. All wall or gate grade beams, wall footings, cast-in-place walls or pier caps
supported by drilled shafts should have a minimum void space of 6 inches below the member. This
void will serve to reduce distress resulting from the swelling ofthe active soils. Structural cardboard
void forms are an acceptable means of providing this void beneath cast-in-place structural members.
Void forms must be maintained dry. Care must be exercised during concrete placement to avoid
collapsing ofthe cardboard void boxes. A retainer is recommended on the sides ofthe voids to help
reduce the possibility of the soil caving into the void spaces. It is recommended that wall or gate
footings, pier caps, or grade beams be formed and not cast directly against the soil. Fill placed along
the outside of structural members in landscaped or grassy areas should be on-site clays compacted in
the moisture range of +1 to +4 percent to a minimum density of 94 percent of the maximum density
determined by ASTM D 698.
SPREAD FOOTING FOUNDATIONS
Reinforced concrete spread footings can be considered as an alternate for support of the fence in
areas where shallow sand is encountered during drilling the shafts. This condition was encountered in
the area of Boring B-18 and could be encountered in other areas ofthe site. Shallow footing support

1r
on clays or clayey sands is not recommended due to the possibility that the footings could experience
excessive movement due to expansion of these soils.
Footings supported on the sands could be subject some movement due to settlement. It is
recommended that the footings not be supported on fill material. Any soft or loose layers existing at
the bottom of the footing excavations should be undercut and replaced with lean concrete. It is
recommended that footings be formed rather than be placed against the wall of the footing
excavations. Design criteria for footings are recommended in the following table:
FOOTING BEARING PRESSURES
Material Type Recommended Maximum Allowable Estimated
Footing Depth Net Bearing Footing
(ft.) Pressure (pst) Movement
(inches)
SAND, (SP) - Stratum IV 3 (1) 3,700 (2) <1
(1) Depth below existing grades
(2) Factor of Safety 2
Expected footing movement due to settlement is estimated to be on the order of one inch or less. This
is based on a square footing size of about 2 to 3 feet with the maximum allowable bearing pressure.
Higher loads resulting in larger footings could experience larger settlements.
Footings can develop lateral resistance by friction along the bottom of the footing and also passive
pressure against footing keys below the bottom of the footings. Passive pressure against the sides of
shallow footings is not recommended. A passive pressure of 625 psf (F.S. =2) may be considered for
footing keys below the footing. A friction factor of 0.35 may be considered between the bottom of the
footing and the underlying sand to resist sliding along the bottom of the footings.
All foundation excavations should be observed for proper size and bearing material before placing
reinforcing steel or placing concrete. Bearing surfaces should be maintained dry and free of any loose
matarial prior to plaeament of eonerete. Foundation conerete should be placed as soon as practical
after completion of the footing excavations, placement of reinforcing steel and after observations to
verify condition of the bearing surface and proper steel placement. Exposed footing bearing surfaces
consisting of sand should be protected with a 3 to 4 inch thick seal slab to preserve the exposed
bearing surface and also to prevent additional drying of the bearing soils unless this requirement is

Results of the field investigation indicate that no groundwater is anticipated at the recommended
footing depths. However, if seepage is encountered during footing construction, then it can probably
be controlled by ditching, sumps, and pumping around the perimeter ofthe excavation. Berms around
the perimeter of excavations may be used to divert surface runoff away from the sides of the
excavations until completion of the footings.
BUILDING STRUCTURE FOUNDATIONS
The surficial soils present at this site consist of moderately plastic clay soil and dry clayey sands with
low to moderately high swell potential. These soils can experience volume changes with fluctuations
in their moisture contents. It is understood that the pavilion and columbarium will be light construction
with either a wood frame or a light steel frame. Details of the mortuary construction are not known;
however, it is anticipated that this will also be a lightly loaded structure similar to residential
construction. Lightly loaded ground supported foundations on this site will be subject to post
construction movement as a result of moisture induced volume changes in the near surface clays.
Based on the stratigraphy encountered in the borings, the potential movement of ground supported
foundations or floor slabs are estimated to be on the order of 2.5 to 3 inches without any type of
building pad preparation. Recommendations for the building foundation systems are provided in the
following sections.
Structurally Supported Foundation and Floor System
A structurally supported floor system is considered the most positive method to reduce floor slab
movement due to expansion or contraction of the underlying soils. Typically this type of foundation
would be used in areas which are very sensitive to movement. The foundation grade beams should be
supported on drilled shafts, either straight drilled or drilled and underreamed, as recommended
previously. Where the foundation is structurally supported, the grade beams should be supported
above a minimum 6 inch void as discussed previously. A minimum void space of 12 inches should be
provided between the final bottom of the floor system and the underlying subgrade. The ground
surface beneath the floor system should be graded such that any water which infiltrates into the void
space will flow to a common collection area and be removed from underneath the proposed structure.

In no instance should any water be allowed to collect or pond below or around the perimeter of the
structure. Where the building crawl space is below the exterior grades, this condition increases the
possibility that water can infiltrate below the floor system. In order to reduce the possible infiltration of
exterior surface water into voids, it is preferable that the finish floor and void areas below the floor be
above the exterior grades. Areas below structurally supported floor systems should be ventilated to
reduce humidity in the crawl space area.
Conventionally Reinforced Monolithic Slab-on-Grade Foundations
This type of foundation will be suitable for the pavilion and the columbarium. This type of system can
also be considered for the mortuary, assuming the features ofthis building will not be very sensitive to
movement. This type offoundation is typically used for light construction. This type offoundation can
be conventionally reinforced or a post-tensioned monolithic slab-on-grade. The foundation should be
designed by a structural engineer to withstand the estimated vertical soil movements outlined in this
report.
Settlement of the monolithic slab-on-grade foundation system supported on the site's natural soils
should not be a concern due to generally low bearing pressure exerted by the foundation. Where fill is
placed or the soils below the building will be moisture conditioned, settlement of compacted fill is
estimated to be less than one inch assuming a compacted fill depth of less than about 5 feet. The
building pad should be prepared in accordance with the recommendations contained in this report.
Settlement response of the foundation system will be influenced more by the quality of construction
and any fill placement than by soil-structure interaction. Some settlement is expected to occur as the
foundation is loaded during the construction.
In order for shallow foundations to perform properly on these sites, they must be designed to resist
and tolerate the estimated potential movements. The slab-on-grade foundation system must be
designed with sufficient stiffness to reduce potential differential movements to structurally acceptable
levels. Where fill is required above grade to support the building foundations, it is recommended that
this fill be a select fill. Based on the conditions encountered in the borings and the pad preparation
guidelines provided in this report, foundation design criteria are provided in the following table.

Grade Beam Support
The grade beams bearing on the natural undisturbed soils or on properly compacted fill should be
designed for a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot. Grade beams
should extend at least 6 inches into natural, undisturbed soils or into properly compacted fill soils. The
beams should also extend a minimum of 15 inches below the final exterior grades. The exterior of
grade beams around the perimeter of the structure should be carefully backfilled with on-site soils.
The backfill soils should be placed at moisture contents between optimum and 4 percent above the
soil's optimum moisture content. The exterior fill around the outside of the grade beams should be
compacted to at least 93 percent ofthe maximum dry density as determined in accordance with ASTM
D 698. The use of a free draining sand or gravel material as fill around the outside perimeter of the
grade beams is not recommended.
Consideration can also be given to supporting building structure grade beams on drilled shafts, either
straight drilled or drilled and underreamed. Generally, the monolithic slab-on-grade foundation grade
beams supported on drilled shafts do not have voids below the grade beams. The drilled shafts serve
primarily to prevent downward movement due to settlement or shrinkage of soils around the perimeter
ofthe foundation. Drilled shafts should be designed and constructed as recommended previously in
this report.
Monolithic Slab-on-Grade Construction Considerations
The clay soils encountered at the site can be excavated using normal construction equipment.
Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer or his representative to
determine if the slab and grade beams will bear on satisfactory materials. Loose material should be
removed from the bottoms of all foundation grade beam excavations. Soil exposed in the bottoms of
all satisfactory fou ndation excavations should be protected against detrimental changes in conditions,
such as disturbance, rain or excessive drying. Surface runoff should be drained away from
excavations and not allowed to pond in structural excavations. Concrete for grade beams should be
placed as soon after completion of the excavations as possible.
It is recommended that all vegetation be stripped from the building pad areas. Where moisture
conditioning is performed, the soils should be undercut the required depth. The subgrade soils should
then be scarified to a depth of 8 inches and be re-compacted and the undercut soils replaced as
recommended in the section MOISTURE CONDITIONED BUILDING PAD. Select fill should then be

placed to the grade required for support of the foundation. The select fill should be placed and
compacted as recommended in the section SELECT FILL MATERIAL. Soft surface areas identified
during compaction will need to be undercut and re-compacted as recommended. Pressure injection of
the building pad soils should follow recommendations provided in the section PRESSURE INJECTION.
MOISTURE RETARDER
A properly designed moisture retarder is recommended below on-grade building floor slabs where
floor coverings or painted floor surfaces will be applied with products which are sensitive to moisture
or if products stored on the building floors are sensitive to moisture. The use of polyethylene sheeting
placed directly below the slab will serve as a moisture retarder, but may increase the possibility of
cracking of the slab during curing. Procedures for installation of vapor retarders are recommended in
AC1302, Section 3.2.3.
CITY FEATURE AREA
It is understood that an area will be constructed west of the pavilion which will consist of flatwork,
planters, flag poles and possibly other landscape features which could be sensitive to movements.
Based on the conditions encountered in Boring 8-11 and other borings in the area, some moisture
conditioning of the soils which will be below this area is recommended in order to reduce the
movement to more acceptable levels. The following table provides guidelines for moisture
conditioning the soils to reduce future movement potential of the active soils below this area of the
site.

Recommendations for the moisture treatment are included in the section MOSITURE CONDITIONED
BUILDING PAD or the section PRESSURE INJECTION. Moisture conditioning should extend about 3
feet outside the limits of the paved area. Select fill should meet the requirements provided in the
section SELECT FILL.
It is recommended that the areas around f1atwork should slope such that water will not pond next to
the flatwork or other ground supported structures. Above grade planters should have sealed bottoms
and drains to discharge excess water. Vertical moisture barriers can be considered if any areas next to
flatwork will be heavily watered. These moisture barriers can consist of heavy polyethylene sheeting
or other impervious materials which will prevent flow of moisture from very wet areas outside the
f1atwork to below the structure. A depth of at least 4 feet below grade is recommended. Flatwork
should have some slope to reduce the possibility of future ponding on the pavement surface due to
soil movements.
SELECT FILL
The material used as select fill should be a sandy clay or clayey sand with a liquid limit of less than 40
and a plasticity index between 4 and 15. A minimum of 25 percent of the soil should pass the No. 200
sieve. The material should be spread in loose horizontal lifts, less than 9 inches thick, and be
uniformly compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum Standard Proctor Density between
minus one (1) and plus three (3) percentage points above its optimum moisture content as determined
by ASTM 0-698. Prior to placing the select fill, the clays below the select fill should be moisture
conditioned by undercutting, moisture conditioning, and re-compacting to the recommended depth, or
pressure injection of the soils. It is recommended that the select fill placement begin immediately after
the subgrade has been prepared by undercutting and moisture conditioning or pressure injection.
Positive drainage must be provided away from the structure to reduce the ponding of water in the
select fill. Care must be taken to make sure that backfill against the exterior face of grade beams
consists of properly compacted on-site clay. The select fill should not extend outside the limits ofthe
structure except under sidewalks or f1atwork constructed around the perimeter of the structure.

MOISTURE CONDITIONING ON-SITE SOILS
The existing clay subsoils, below the recommended select fill section, can be excavated to the
recommended depth, moisture conditioned and placed back into the excavation in 8 inch loose lifts
and re-compacted. The excavated soils should be moistened to between 2 and 5 percent above the
optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of maximum density determined
by ASTM D 698. The exposed subgrade should be scarified to a depth of 8 inches and re-compacted in
a similar manner prior to replacing the moisture conditioned soils. Any unstable areas identified
during compaction of the subgrade should be undercut to firm material and backfilled with properly
compacted fill material placed as indicated in this section.
PRESSURE INJECTION
A set of General Specifications for this process are included in the Appendix of this report.
Compliance with these specifications is essential if maximum benefits are to be gained. We
recommend the injection process be observed on a full time basis by qualified personnel.
Even with the best of techniques, average moisture increases of more than 2 to 3 percent are difficult
to achieve with a single injection. Depending on the moisture levels existing prior to injection, multiple
additional injections are often necessary to obtain or approach the desired moisture levels.
Based on the soil conditions encountered at the time of drilling and sampling, the soils were hard and
these soils may be difficult to be effectively injected. Based on the dry soil conditions encountered, a
minimum of 3 injection passes over the injected area should be made prior to taking samples for
moisture evaluations. When the active soils are dry and dense, multiple injections may be necessary
and the desired moisture levels may not be achieved. Some of the soils on this site are dense and dry.
Some re-hydration of these dry soils may occur after periods of significant rainfall; however, it is
doubtful a significant depth of soil will be affected. The cost of the additional injections and testing
and the impact on the construction schedule should be considered when using this technique to
increase the soil moisture contents. Injections should extend at least 5 feet outside the perimeter of
the buildings and to the outside limits of sidewalks around the perimeter of the buildings.
It should be noted that the injected soils typically swell and the ground surface can heave some during
and after pressure injections. The geotechnical engineer's representative should observe the injection

operations and a post-treatment evaluation should be performed to determine ifthe pressure injection
operations have achieved the required results. Ifthe required results have not been achieved by initial
passes, additional injections should be performed and the results evaluated again by the geotechnical
engineer. The pressure injection operation and subsequent evaluation should be conducted in
accordance with the General Specifications for Water Pressure Injection presented in Appendix A.
SIDEWALKS AND FLATWORK
Sidewalks and f1atwork around the structure can be subject to movement due to expansion of the dry
shallow clay soils encountered during this investigation. Where sidewalks and f1atwork are
constructed around the structures, they can be subject to unacceptable soil related movements.
Where the near surface clays have become desiccated, they can be undercut a minimum of 3 feet,
moisture conditioned and replaced with controlled compaction to reduce movement potential. Deeper
undercuts may be necessary in any areas which will be very sensitive to movement. Procedures for
undercutting and re-compaction of the clays have been discussed in this report for reducing soil
expansive movements below a ground supported floor slab. Consideration can be given to placing
about 8 inches of select fill above the clays after they are moisture conditioned and re-compacted. A
sand cushion is not recommended below the sidewalks. Recommendations for f1atwork and side
walks have been included in the section CITY FEATURE AREA.
PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Subgrade Preparation
On site surficial soil will generally consist of moderately plastic clays and sandy clay soils. Shallow
cuts will generally extend into these soils. Clay soils will provide relatively poor subgrade support for
pavements. Lime stabilization of clays and sandy clay soils will generally improve the support
characteristics of the subgrade, in addition to enhancing the workability of the clays and reducing
water infiltration into the underlying subgrade and potential movements under the pavements. The
recommended subgrade support for the various pavement options is indicted in the section Pavement
Thickness.
After rough grading in planned pavement areas has been performed, it is recommended that all final
soil subgrades be observed and sampled, to verify the most appropriate percent of hydrated lime for
S:\DA08072.000\ 125\reports\DA08072.rpt.doc

7
the subgrade stabilization. For establishing project budgets, it is estimated that the subgrades can be
stabilized to a depth of 6 inches with 8 percent (38 Ibs/sq.yd.) hydrated lime.
It is emphasized that some sandy soils will be encountered either as natural sands or as fill soils. The
limits ofthese sandy areas should be identified and they may need to be undercut and replaced with
soils which can be lime stabilized. Optionally, reduced percentages of hydrated lime may be
appropriate or light duty pavements can be placed on compacted sands with out stabilization. A final
evaluation of areas which are not clays can be made after rough grading is completed. If borrow
material from other areas of the site or off site are required to elevate pavement areas above the
existing grades, the properties of these materials could vary from the near surface soils in the area of
the exploration and should be evaluated. It is our recommendation that the subgrade be observed once
rough grading is complete in order to provide more accurate recommendations for the subgrade
stabilization.
The stabilized soils should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum density in a
moisture content range of +2 to +5 percent of the soilllime mixture's optimum moisture content as
determined by ASTM 0698. Minimum stabilized subgrade depths of6 inches are recommended below
the bottom of the proposed pavement. Stabilization of the subgrades should extend at least one foot
outside the perimeter of the pavement. Project specifications should allow for a 48 hour mellowing
period between initial and final mixing of the soils stabilized with hydrated lime. After initial mixing, the
subgrade should be lightly rolled and maintained at a moisture content range at least 2 percent above
its optimum moisture content until final mixing and compaction. The pH ofthe lime treated soil should
be at least 12.4 at the time of final compaction. The following gradation requirements are
recommended for the stabilized materials prior to final compaction:

T
All non-slaking aggregates retained on the No.4 sieve should be removed prior to testing. The
prepared subgrade should be protected and moist cured or sealed with a bituminous material until the
pavement materials are placed. Finished pavement subgrade areas should be graded at all times to
minimize ponding and infiltration of excessive moisture on or adjacent to the pavement subgrade
surface.
Flexible Base
As an option to lime stabilization for pavement subgrades where small isolated areas will be paved on
this site, consideration can be given to use of a crushed limestone flexible base material. This base
material should be placed on a compacted subgrade. Prior to placing the flexible base, the subgrades
should be proof rolled and then scarified to a depth of 8 inches. Clay subgrades, which will support
the flexible base, should be compacted to a minimum density of 95 percent ofthe maximum dry density
and in the range of plus 1 to plus 5 percent above the soil's optimum moisture content as determined
by ASTM D 698. A minimum 5 inch flexible base thickness is recommended above the compacted
subgrade in Light Duty pavement areas and a minimum 6 inches of flexible base is recommended in
Heavy Duty pavement areas.
The aggregate flexible base material should comply with the Texas Department Of Transportation,
Standard Specifications For Construction Of Highways Streets And Bridges (TxDOT) Item 247, Grade 1
Type A guidelines. Aggregate base satisfying the requirements should be placed on the compacted
subgrade. The flexible base should be moistened to within 2 percent of its optimum moisture content
and compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM D 698 (Standard
Proctor).
The soil subgrade prior to paving should be uniform as practical in both moisture content and
density. In all areas to be paved, subgrade earthwork operations should be performed under the
supervision of qualified contractor personnel working in conjunction with the project geotechnical
or materials testing engineer. Adequate field density tests should be performed on the final
compacted subgrade throughout all areas to be paved.

recommended for light duty pavement. Concrete for heavy duty pavement areas should have
a 28 day compressive strength of 4,000 psi. The concrete should be placed with a slump and
air entrainment consistent with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines for this region
and climate. Adequate reinforcement should be used to maintain the pavement as an integral

spaced greater than 15 feet on center each way.
· Pavement Reinforcina Steel: It is recommended that pavement reinforcement comply with the
requirements of ASTM designation A615, Grade 60.
SOLUBLE SULFATES
Concrete that comes into contact with soils can be subject to sulfate attack. We measured water-
soluble sulfate concentrations in four samples from this site. The soluble sulfate test results are
presented on Figure 24. Concentrations were measured between 0.014 and 0.016 percent. Test results
indicate that the near surface soils have generally low sulfate concentrations. Sulfate concentrations
less than 0.1 percent indicate Class 0 exposure to sulfate attack for concrete that comes into contact
with the subsoils, according to the American Concrete Institute (ACI). For this level of sulfate
concentration, ACI indicates any type of cement can be used for concrete that comes into contact with
the subsoils. Sulfate concentrations on the near surface soils were low enough that sulfate induced
heave due to reactions with hydrated lime should not be a concern during or after pavement subgrade
stabilization.
EARTHWORK
Site Preparation
Before construction, care should be taken to see that any deleterious materials present are removed
from the site. Excavations into the overburden soils could be made using conventional methods,
consisting of varying sizes of backhoes, dozers or front end loaders depending on the depth of
excavations.
Care should be exercised during the grading operations at the site. The traffic of heavy equipment,
including heavy compaction equipment, may create a general deterioration of the surficial clay soils.
Therefore, it should be anticipated that some construction difficulties could be encountered during
periods when these soils are saturated and that it may be necessary to improve, dry, remove or avoid
the saturated soils.

~
Proper drainage should be established so that ponding of surface runoff does not occur and cause
construction delays. Where seepage is encountered during construction, sloping excavation bottoms
to a sump or a low point and use of conventional de-watering equipment may be necessary. Control of
site surface drainage should be maintained at all times during construction so that drainage is directed
away from open excavated areas.
Proof Roiling
It is recommended that all subgrade areas which are not undercut and moisture conditioned be proof
rolled after rough grading is complete in order to verify the subgrade stability. Areas requiring fill
should be proof rolled and then re-compacted prior to placing any fill. Proof rolling is generally
accomplished using a heavy pneumatic tired roller. Other types of equipment may be used in limited
access areas. Any soft areas identified should be undercut to firm material and replaced with
compacted soils. Soft areas identified by proof rolling should be undercut to firm material. The
resulting voids may be brought back to the required grades by either placing clean undercut clay soils
or placing borrow soils exhibiting similar classifications to the removed soils. These soils should be
compacted to the density and moisture content ranges recommended for clay fill soils. After proof
rolling is complete, the subgrades should be prepared as recommended in the following sub-sections.
Site Grading
The on-site sandy clay soil may be used for establishing pavement grades in the area of any new
pavement or flatwork and in open areas, if required. The on-site sandy clay soils will not meet
requirements for select fill and are not recommended to be used in the building pad areas for above
grade fill. The building pads should be prepared as recommended previously. Care should be taken
that the fill materials and areas to receive fill are free of any vegetation, roots, debris, large rocks or
other objectionable material. Areas requiring placement of fill should be stripped of any surface
vegetation and organics.
Prior to placing any fill, the sandy clay subgrades should be proof rolled and then scarified to a depth
of 8 inches. Subgrades which will receive any fill material, should be compacted in the range of plus 1
to plus 5 percent above the soil's optimum moisture content to a minimum density of 95 percent of the
maximum dry density determined by ASTM 0 698. Sandy clay fill material should be placed and
compacted to the same moisture and density requirements as indicated for the subgrades. These

relatively high moisture levels are intended to reduce post construction heave of the re-compacted
clays.
Each lift of fill material should be uniform as to material, density and moisture content before beginning
compaction. Clods or lumps of material should be broken down and the material mixed by blading,
harrowing, discing or similar methods so that a uniform material of uniform density is secured in each
lift. Water required to bring the material to the proper moisture content for compaction should be
evenly applied through each lift by such methods as may be necessary.
Any soft or spongy area or any areas of suspected unstable soils or existing fill material encountered
during construction which will support new fill material should be proof rolled. Unstable areas
identified by proof rolling should be undercut to a firm subgrade and backfilled with properly
compacted fill material placed as indicated above.
Earthwork operations should be performed under the supervision of qualified personnel working in
conjunction with the project geotechnical engineer. Field density tests should be performed on the
compacted subgrades and each lift of embankment fill.
Care should be exercised during the grading operations at the site. The traffic of heavy equipment,
including heavy compaction equipment, may create a general deterioration ofthe surficial fill material.
Therefore, it should be anticipated that some construction difficulties could be encountered during
periods when these soils are saturated and that it may be necessary to improve, remove or avoid the
saturated soils.
Utility Trenches
Open cut trench excavations will be made during site utility installations. The subsurface conditions
encountered were clay fill, sandy clay and deep sand. Utility trenches, excavations, and surface
irregularities should be backfilled with properly compacted on-site materials or select fill. Compaction
criteria should follow guidelines provided previously for clay fill or select fill. Current OSHA Code of
Federal Regulations, stipulates than any excavation deeper than 5 feet in which workmen will enter,
shall be shored, laid back to a stable slope, or be provided with some other means of protection. Prior
to excavation, the contractor should provide a trench safety plan approved by a qualified professional

engineer for excavations deeper than 5 feet. The minimum OSHA requirements for trench bracing
regarding size and spacing of members are presented in 29 CFR 126, Subpart P, Appendices C thru F.
Care should be taken to keep equipment and stockpiled materials a minimum distance equal to the
depth of the excavation from the outside edge of any excavations to minimize possible slope failure
caused by these surcharge loads.
Erodibility
In general, the site's natural soils, when exposed, will be subjected to surface erosion during
construction. To reduce the effects of erosion, proper utilization and placement of hay bales, erosion
filter fences, certain ground covers and construction grading should be considered.
GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
All grades must be adjusted to provide positive drainage away from the structure, pavements or
flatwork. Water permitted to pond in planters, open areas, or areas with unsealed joints next to the
structures can result in on-grade slab or pavement movements which exceed those indicated in this
report. It is emphasized that predictions of moisture related differential movements indicated in this
report are based on empirical calculations and previous experience. In some cases movements can
exceed those predicted, particularly when unusual sources of water become available to any
underlying clays.
Exterior sidewalks and pavements supported above the on-site clays are subject to possible post
construction movement. This movement typically occurs due to expansion of shallow clays which
support sidewalks, flatwork and pavements, particularly in areas which are subject to irrigation water
or surface runoff. Flat grades should be avoided to prevent possible ponding, particularly next to the
buildings due to soil movement. Positive grades away from the buildings should be used for sidewalks
and flatwork around the perimeter of the building in order to reduce the possibility of lifting of this
flatwork, resulting in ponding next to the structures. Where movement ofthe flatwork is objectionable,
procedures recommended in the section sidewalk and flatwork should be considered to reduce soil
expansive movements. The potential for movement of the flatwork will be greatly increased if the
surficial clays have become desiccated due to seasonal drying prior to construction. These soils were
in a generally dry condition at the time of this investigation.

"
Joints next to the building should be thoroughly sealed to minimize the infiltration of surface water.
Where concrete pavement is used, joints should also be sealed to prevent the infiltration of water.
Since some post construction movement of pavement and flatwork may occur, joints around the
building should be periodically observed and resealed where necessary.
Roof drains should be discharged well away from the structures, by closed pipe systems. It is
recommended that roof drains not be allowed to discharge on concrete flatwork or pavement areas
next to structures. Gutters and down spouts should carry runoff water a minimum of 5 feet from the
completed buildings. Care should be taken to insure that joints around the structures are sealed to
prevent the infiltration of water. landscaping should be planned to avoid the application of significant
irrigation water adjacent to the structures. Care should be taken to maintain the moisture conditions
constant around the perimeters of pavements, flatwork and foundations. Plumbing and water lines
which pass through slabs should be pressure tested prior to placement of concrete.
DESIGN REVIEW AND CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
In order to evaluate design consistency it is recommend that CTl be provided the opportunity for a
general review ofthe final foundation and site preparation plans and specifications, to determine that
the recommendations presented in this geotechnical report have been properly interpreted. To
minimize potential schedule changes this review should be provided before the documents are in the
final review stage.
Construction observation by a geotechnical engineer or experienced geotechnical technician, in CTL's
opinion, is essential to help verify that the construction is in accordance with the intent of the
recommendations provided in this report and the project plans and specifications. Observations
during construction should include:
. Verification of bearing strata for installation of foundations;
. Observation of clean-out of drilled shaft excavations;
. Observation of reinforcement placement;
. Observation of concrete placement;
. Observation and testing of subgrades for pavements and buildings

. Observation and testing of fill materials in structural areas, and
. Evaluation of site groundwater conditions.
QUALIFICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATIONS
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are based on the assumption that
subsurface conditions do not vary appreciably from those encountered at the borings. The subsurface
information presented in this report does not constitute a direct or implied warranty that the
subsurface conditions at the boring locations can be directly interpolated or extrapolated. Subsurface
conditions which are different from those disclosed by the borings may be found during construction.
This report was prepared by CTL to aid in the evaluation of the site and to assist in site preparation and
design ofthis project. We have developed our conclusions and recommendations in accordance with
generally accepted professional geotechnical engineering principles and practices. We make no other
warranty either express or implied. Our conclusions are based on the results ofthe field exploration,
laboratory tests, and our interpretation of subsurface conditions. If conditions prior to or during
construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so that we may
review and verify or modify our recommendations.
The reproduction of this report, or any part thereof, supplied to persons or agencies other than the
client should indicate that this study was made for design purposes only and that verification of the
subsurface conditions for purposes of construction activities (i.e., excavation, groundwater conditions,
access, etc.) are the responsibilities of others.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR
WATER-PRESSURE IN~ECTION
STRAIGHT PIPE ARRANGEMENT
1.
Injection process shall be observed on a full time basis by a qualified inspector under the
direction of the owner's designated geotechnical engineer.
2.
A surfactant (wetting agent) shall be added to the water. The amount of surfactant used should
be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
3.
The lower portion of the injection nozzle shall consist of a hole pattern that will uniformly
disperse the mixture throughout the entire depth.
4. Injection pressures should be adjusted to disperse as large a volume of water as possible
within a pressure range of 50 to 200 pounds per square inch.
5.
Injection pipe shall be forced downward (not jetted or washed) in 12 to 18 inch intervals,
injecting to refusal at each interval for a total depth of at least 7 feet in the building area. Refusal
will be determined on site by the inspector.
6.
Spacing for the injections not to exceed 5 feet on center each way, and injections shall be
carried at least 5 feet or the limits of any sidewalks outside building lines. Subsequent
injections should be offset from initial locations in a pattern that maximizes distribution of the
mixture.
Post-treatment evaluation shall be based on in-situ moisture contents, hand penetrometer
values and one-dimension laboratory swell tests conducted by the owner's Geotechnical
Engineer. Soil samples used for laboratory swell tests shall be undisturbed samples retrieved
by using a thin-walled seamless tube sampler to a depth equal to the specified injection depth.
Sampling shall be at a rate of one sample boring per 2,500 square feet of treated area or a
minimum of 3 per building pad area. Sample borings shall be taken at an equal distance from
injection points. Continuous tube samples shall be obtained from the entire treated depth.
Samples shall be extruded from the tube and sealed to prevent moisture loss, and be protected
from disturbance.
One-dimensional swell tests shall be performed from each sample boring. A swell test should
be performed on soil samples generally from the following intervals: 0 to 2 feet, 2 to 4 feet, 4 to 7
feet, and 7 to 10 feet. The swell tests shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM 0 4546-85
Method A without the swell pressure determined. Test results shall be reported for a swell
under a single surcharge load simulating overburden pressure after construction of the
building. Moisture and hand penetrometer determinations will be made on one foot intervals in
all borings.
10. The average swell from each boring where swell tests are performed shall not exceed 1.0
percent; and no swell test from the boring shall have a swell of more than 2.0 percent.
-
11. Where swell criteria is not met in anyone of the borings, determination of the building pad area
to be reinjected will be made by the project geotechnical engineer. Retreatment and acceptance
testing will be performed over the entire injection depth of the area reinjected.

STRAIGHT PIPE ARRANGEMENT
(Continued)
12.
Final acceptance, by the owner, shall be based on an evaluation of the test data by the Owner
and the project geotechnical engineer.
13. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to make the injected area accessible for sampling
by pumping standing water off the pad and providing equipment to pull the drill through wet,
soft areas, if required.
,-.
14.
The surface of the injected area should be sealed or otherwise protected against moisture loss
and deterioration, particularly during periods when rapid surface drying will occur. Sealing of
the pad surface should proceed immediately by placing select fill above the injected soils. Prior
to placing the select fill, the surface of the injected soils should be scarified to a depth of 6
inches and recompacted to a minimum density of 95 percent of the maximum density
determined by ASTM D 698 in a moisture range of +1 to +5 percent of the soils optimum
moisture content.
