PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed residence to be located
on Lot 152, Wild Rose Drive, Ironbridge Development, Garfield County, Colorado. The
project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop
recommendations for the foundation design. The study was conducted as a supplement to
our agreement_£orgeotechnical engineering services to L.B. Rose Ranch, LLC dated July
24, 2003. We previously conducted subsurface exploration to evaluate the collapse
potential on the non -irrigated debris fan areas within the development and presented the
findings in a report dated September 10, 1998, Job No. 197 327.
An exploratory boring was drilled on the lot to obtain information on the subsurface
conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were tested in
the laboratory to determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other
engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing
were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable
pressures for the proposed building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained
during this study and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other
geotechnical engineering considerations based on the proposed construction and the
subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The specific building on the lot had not been determined at the time of this study. The
proposed residence will generally be a 1 or 2 story, wood frame structure between about
2,500 and 3,000 square -feet in size. Ground floor will be slab -on -grade and/or structural
over a crawlspace. A basement level may be provided. Grading for the structure is
assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths between about 3 to 8 feet. We assume
relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type of construction.
Job No. WI 196-1
-2 -
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described
above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The lot is located in the western, uphill part of the development and was vacant at the
time of our field exploration. Wild Rose Drive borders the lot to the southeast as shown
on Figure -1. The roadway and- underground utility construction to the lot are complete.
Minor overlot grading during subdivision development consists of shallow cuts and fills
across most of the lot. The ground surface is relatively flat and slopes gently down to the
northeast. Up to 1 foot of snow covered the lot at the time of our field exploration.
GEOLOGY
The geologic conditions were described in our previous report conducted for planning and
preliminary design of the subdivision development, dated October 29, 1997, Job No. 197
327. The surficial soils on the lot mainly consist of sandy silt and clay debris fan deposits
overlying terrace gravel alluvium of the Roaring Fork River. The alluvium is
predominantly a clast-supported deposit of rounded gravel, cobbles and boulders up to 3
feet in size in sand and silty sand matrix.
The underlying bedrock consists of the Eagle Valley Evaporite which contains gypsum
and is generally associated with scattered sinkhole development in the Roaring Fork
River valley. The potential for subsidence due to dissolution of the evaporite throughout
the service life of the residence, in our opinion, is low. If further evaluation of the
sinkhole potential on the lot is desired, we should be contacted.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on December 10, 2004. An
exploratory boring was drilled at the location shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the
Job No. 101 196-1
-3 -
subsurface conditions. The boring was advanced with 4 -inch diameter continuous flight
augers powered by a truck -mounted CME -45B drill rig. The boring was logged by a
representative of Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with a 2 inch I.D. spoon sampler. The sampler was
driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140 pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method
D-1586. The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or
consistency of the subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration
resistance values are shown on the Log of Exploratory Boring, Figure 2. The samples
were returned to our Iaboratory for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
A graphic log of the subsoil profile encountered in the boring is shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils, below about '/z foot of topsoil, consist of stiff to very stiff, slightly sandy to
sandy silt and clay with occasional gravel lenses down to the drilled depth of 26 feet.
Based on other nearby borings, we expect dense gravel alluvium to be below the silt and
clay soils at a depth of about 30 to 35 feet.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the boring included natural
moisture content, density and percent finer than No. 200 sieve (silt and clay fraction)
gradation analyses. Results of swell -consolidation testing performed on a relatively
undisturbed drive sample, presented on Figure 4, indicate low compressibility under
existing low moisture conditions and a minor collapse potential (settlement under a
constant load) when wetted. The sample showed moderate compressibility with increased
loading after wetting. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the boring at the time of drilling and the subsoils were
slightly moist.
Job No. 101 196-1
GtV5oec,,
-4 -
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The potential for the subsoils to collapse is consistent with our previous findings for the
non -irrigated areas of the development. The subsurface conditions and laboratory test
results indicate that the debris fan soils generally have low to moderate collapse potential
that decreased with depth. There is a risk of settlement and distress to the building,
driveway and utilities founded on the relatively dry debris fan deposits if the subsoils
were to become wetted. The magnitude of settlement will depend on the depth and extent
of wetting, and the structure loading. Lightly loaded spread footings placed on the natural
soils should be suitable for support of the residence with a risk of settlement and distress
if the bearing soils become wetted. Precautions to prevent wetting of the bearing soils
need to be taken. These include: 1) proper placement and compaction of backfill; 2)
positive backfill slopes next to foundations; 3) restricted landscape irrigation and/or use
of xeriscape; and 4) gutters to prevent roof runoff near the building.
Extensive wetting such as from water line leaks and heavy irrigation could result in
excessive settlements and distress. The settlement potential and risk of distress can be
reduced by supporting the building on a stiffened slab (mat) foundation, or ground
improvements, such as removal and replacement of the native soils compacted to at least
95% of standard Proctor density at a moisture content at to 2% above optimum. We
expect the ground modifications would be limited to the upper 5 to 10 feet. If other
foundation types and subgrade treatment methods are proposed, we should be contacted.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory boring and the
nature of the proposed construction, we recommend the building be founded with spread
footings bearing on the natural subsoils.
Job No. 101 1 961-1
5
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread
footing foundation system.
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural subsoils should be designed for
an allowable bearing pressure of 1,000 psf. Based on experience, we
expect initial settlement of footings designed and constructed as discussed
in this section will be up to about 1 inch. Additional differential settlement
of about 1 to 2 inches or more could occur if the bearing soils become
wetted.
2) The footings should have a minimum width of20 inches for continuous
walls and 2 feet for isolated pads.
3) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided
with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection.
Placement of foundations at least 36 inches below exterior grade is
typically used in this area.
4) The foundation should be constructed in a "box Tike" configuration rather
than isolated footings. The foundation walls should be heavily reinforced
top and bottom to span local anomalies such as by assuming an
unsupported length of at least 15 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining
structures should also be designed to resist lateral earth pressures as
discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls" section of this report.
5) Any existing fill, topsoil and loose or disturbed soils should be removed
and the footing bearing level extended down to the firm natural soils. The
exposed soils in footing area should then be moistened and compacted.
6) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe alI footing
excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.
FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Foundation walls and retaining structures which are laterally supported and can be
expected to undergo only a slight amount of deflection should be designed for a lateral
earth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 55 pcf

for backfill consisting of the on-site fine-grained soils. Cantilevered retaining structures
which are separate from the building and can be expected to deflect sufficiently to
mobilize the full active earth pressure condition should be designed for a lateral earth
pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 50 pcf for
backfill consisting of the on-site fine-grained soils.
All foundation and retaining structures should be designed for appropriate hydrostatic and
surcharge pressures such as adjacent footings, traffic, construction materials and
equipment. The pressures recommended above assume drained conditions behind the
walls and a horizontal backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward
sloping backfill surface will increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or
retaining structure. An underdrain should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure
buildup behind walls.
Backfill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90% of the maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Backfill in pavement and
walkway areas should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor
density. Care should be taken not to overcompact the backfill or use large equipment
near the wall, since this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall. Some
settlement of deep foundation wall backfill should be expected, even if the material is
placed correctly, and could result in distress to facilities constructed on the backfill.
The lateral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the
sliding resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure
against the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be
calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.35. Passive pressure of compacted
backfill against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit
weight of 300 pcf. The coefficient of friction and passive pressure values recommended
above assume ultimate soil strength. Suitable factors of safety should be included in the
design to limit the strain which will occur at the ultimate strength, particularly in the case
of passive resistance. Fill placed against the sides of the footings to resist lateral loads
Job No. 101 196-1

should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a
moisture content near optimum.
FLOOR SLABS
The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly loaded slab -
on -grade construction. The soils are compressible when wetted under load and there
could be some post -construction settlement and distress if the subgrade soils become
wetted. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be
separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow
unrestrained vertical movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce
damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab
reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the intended
slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free -draining gravel should be placed beneath
basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This material should consist of minus 2 inch
aggregate with at least 50% retained on the No. 4 sieve and less than 2% passing the No.
200 sieve,
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of
maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can
consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our
experience in the area that local perched groundwater can develop during times of heavy
precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoff can create a perched
condition. We recommend below -grade construction, such as retaining walls, crawlspace
and basement areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an
Job No. 101 196-1

underdrain system. An underdrain should not be provided around shallow foundations (3
feet deep or less) and garage areas.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill
surrounded above the invert level with free -draining granular material. The drain should
be placed at each level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish
grade and sloped at a minimum 1% to a suitable gravity outlet. Free -draining granular
material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the No. 200
sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of 2 inches. The
drain gravel backfill should be at least 11/2 feet deep. An impervious membrane such as
20 mil PVC should be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough shape and attached to
the foundation wall with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing soils.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Developing and maintaining positive drainage throughout the life of the residence is
critical to limiting potential settlement and distress to the building. The following
drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all times
after the building has been completed:
1) Uncontrolled wetting of the foundation excavations and underslab areas
should be avoided during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and
compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in
pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to dram away from the foundation in all directions. We
recommend a minimum slope of 6 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved
areas and a minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas.
Free -draining wall backfill should be capped with about 2 feet of the on-
site, fine-grained soils to reduce surface water infiltration.
Job No. 10.1 196-1
-9-
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of ail
backfill.
5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at
least 10 feet from foundation walls. Consideration should be given to use
of xeriscape to reduce the potential for wetting of soils below the building
caused -by irrigation.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either
express or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are
based upon the data obtained from the exploratory boring drilled at the location indicated
on Figure 1, the proposed type of construction and our experience in the area. Our
services do not include determining the presence, prevention or possibility of mold or
other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing in the future. If the client is
concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of practice should be
consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the subsurface
conditions identified at the exploratory boring and variations in the subsurface conditions
may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered during
construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We
are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the
project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
verify that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations
presented herein. We recommend on-site observation of excavations and foundation
