SCOPE
This report presents our revised geotechnical engineering investigation for
the residence proposed at 138 Bristlecone Drive in Garfield County, Colorado,
We conducted this investigation to evaluate subsurface conditions at the site and
provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for the residence. Our re-
port was prepared from data developed from our field exploration, laboratory test-
ing, engineering analysís, and our experience with similar conditions. This report
includes a description of the subsurface conditions observed in our exploratory
pits and presents geotechnical engineering recommendations for desígn and
construction of foundations, floorsystems, and details influenced bythe subsoils.
Recommendations contained in this report were developed based on the cur-
rently-proposed construction. A summary of our conclusions is presented below.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
Subsoils encountered in our exploratory pits (Tp-1 through Tp-3)
were about 6 inches of clayey gravel topsoil and nil to 2.5 feet of
clayey gravel fill underlain by natural silty gravel, cobbles and boul-
ders to the maximum excavated depth of 7 feet. Groundwater was
measured ín our exploratory pits at depths of 3 to 5 feet during our
field investigation. Footings deeper than 3 feet will be below
ground water during parts of the year.
The residence can be constructed on footing foundations supported
by the undisturbed, natural gravel and cobble soíl or densely-com-
pacted, structural fill. Design and construction criteria for footing
foundations are provided in the report.

3.The main level and garage floors in the residence are planned as
slabs-on-grade. Good floor slab performance can be expected for
slabs supported by the natural gravel and cobble soil or densely-
compacted structuralfill. We recommend that slabs-on-grade be
constructed no deeper than 1 foot below existing grade at the site.

surface drainage should be designed to provide for rapid removar
of surface water away from the building.
SITE CONDITIONS
îhe site is located at 138 Bristlecone Drive in GarfÍeld County, Colorado.
A vicinity map with the location of the site is shown on Figure 1. The lot is a
0.191-acre parcel that has not been built upon. An aerial photograph of the site
is included as Figure 2. The lots to the northwest and southeast are occupied by
single-family residences. An irrigation ditch trends across southwest part of the
lot. Ground surface on the subject lot is gently sloping to the south at grades vis-
ually estimated at less than 5 percent. Vegetation consists predominantly of
grass. Cottonwood trees are on the north part of the lot. A large ponderosa pine
tree is at the south side.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
We were provided with conceptual plans for the residence (dated May 1,
2019) by Zag Built. The proposed building footprint is shown on Figure 3. The
residence will be a two-story, wood-frame building with an attached garage.
Floors in the main level and garage are currently planned as slabs-on-grade.
Maximum foundation excavation depths will be about 3 feet. Foundation loads
along perimeter walls are likely to be between 1,000 and 3,000 pounds per linear
feet. Maximum interior column loads of about 30 kips are anticipated.
CTl/Thompson, lnc. can provide a proposalfor structura! engíneering services to
develop foundation and framing plans, if requested.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface conditions at the site were investigated by directing the exca-
vation of three exploratory pits (TP-1 through TP-3) at the approximate locatíons
shown on Figures 2 and 3. Pits were excavated with a backhoe. Subsurface
conditions observed in the pits were logged by our engineer who obtained sam-
ples of the soils. A photograph taken during our subsurface ínvestigation is be-
low.
Looking north from TP-1 location
Subsoils encountered in our exploratory pits were about 6 inches of clayey
gravel topsoil and nil to 2.5 feet of clayey gravel fill underlain by natural silty
gravel, cobbles and boulders to the maximum excavated depth of 7 feet.
Groundwater was measured in our pits at depths of 3 to 5 feet during our field in-
vestigation. Pits were backfilled after completíon of our field investigation.
Graphic logs of the soils observed in exploratory pits are shown on Figure 4.

Samples of the soils obtained from our exploratory pits were returned to
our laboratory for testing. Three samples of the gravel soil selected for gradation
analyses contained 71 to 82 percent gravel, 17 to 2T percent sand, and 1 to 2
percent silt and clay size particles (passing the No. 200 Sieve). A large fraction of
the soils at this site are comprised of cobbles and boulders. Gradation test re-
sults are not inclusive of rocks larger than 3 inches, which are present in the in-
situ soils. Gradation test results run on the soils (with rocks larger than 3-inches
screened) are shown on Figures 5 and 6. Laboratory testing is summarized on
Table l.
SITE EARTHWORK
Excavations.
We anticipate maximum excavation depths of about 3 feet to construct
footing foundations. Our subsurface information indicates excavations will be
predominantly in natural gravel and cobbles with occasional boulders. Excava-
tions can be made with a trackhoe and conventional methods. Sides of excava-
tions need to be sloped to meet local, State, and federalsafety regulations. The
on-site soils will likely classify as Type C soils based on OSHA criteria. Excava-
tion sides in Type C soils should be sloped no steeper than 1.5 to t horizontal to
vertical. Flatter slopes are required below ground water.
Free groundwater in our exploratory pits was measured at depths of ap-
proximately 3 to 5 feet below the existing ground. We expect groundwater levels
rise to within about 3 feet of ground surface across the entire síte in spring and
early summer. Excavations above ground water should be sloped to a gravity

discharge or to a temporary sump where water from precipitation can be re-
moved by pumping. Excavations deeper than 3 feet may require significant de-
watering.
IF¡II
Structural fill may be desired to raise elevations below floor slabs. Areas
which will receive fill should be stripped of vegetation, organic soíls, and debris.
The gravel soils can be reused as structuralfill and backfill, provided they are
screened to remove rocks larger than 3 inches and that they are free of vegeta-
tion and debris. We expect that import soils would be required if the elevation of
the building pad is raised. ln our opinion, import structural fill should consist of
an aggregate base course or pit run material.
Structural fill should be placed in loose lifts of 8 inches thick or tess and
moisture-conditíoned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content. Structural
fill should be compacted to 98 percent of standard Proctor (ASTM D OgS) maxi-
mum dry density. Moisture content and density of structural fill should be
checked by a representative of our firm during placement. Observation of the
compaction procedure is necessary.
Foundation Wall Backfill
Proper placement and compaction of foundation backfill is importartt to re-
duce infiltration of surface water and settlement of backfill. This is especially im-
portant for backfill areas that will support concrete slabs, such as drÍveways and
patios. Backfill should be placed in loose lifts of approxímately 10 inches thick or
less, moisture-conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 95 percent of maxímum standard proctor dry density

(ASTM D 698). Our representative should test moisture content and density of
the backfill during placement.
FOUNDATION
The residence can be constructed on footing foundations supported by the
undisturbed, natural gravel and cobble soil. Our representative should be called
to observe the completed foundation excavation to confirm that conditions are as
anticipated and suitable for support of the foundation as designed. Footings
deeper than 3 feet will likely be below water during parts of the year. The associ,
ated hydrostatic pressure shoufd be considered for design. We expect footings
on the gravel will experience less than 1 inch of total settlement, Most potential
movement will occur during construction as building loads are applied. Design
criteria for footing foundations developed from our analysis of fíeld and laboratory
data and our experience are presented below.
The resídence can be constructed on footing foundations supported
by the undisturbed, natural gravel and cobble soil. soils roosened
during the excavation process should be removed or recompacted
prior to constructing forms.
Footings on the gravel and cobble soilcan be sized using a maxi-
mum allowable net bearing pressure of 5,000 psf.
continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at reast
16 inches. Foundations for isolated columns should have minimum
dimensions of 24 inches by 24 inches. Larger sizes may be re-
quired, depending upon foundation loads.
Footings below depths of about 3 feet below ground surface wiil
likely be below groundwater during parts of the year. The associ-
ated hydrostatic uplift should be considered during design.

5 Grade beams and foundation walls should be werr reinforced, top
and bottom, to span undisclosed loose or soft soir pockets. we iec-
ommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsupported distance
of at least 12 feet.
6 The soils under exterior footings should be protected from freezing.
we recommend the bottom of footings be constructed at a depth ıf
at least 36 inches below finished exterior grades. The Garfield
county building department should be consulted regarding required
depth.
SLABS.ON.GRADE
Slab-on-grade floors are currently-planned for the main level and in the
garage. Exterior slabs, such as driveways and patios, are anticipated. We rec-
ommend that slabs be constructed no lower than 1 foot below existing ground
surface elevation on the lot. Floor slabs below existing grades will require below-
slab drainage systems. lt may be desirable to raise elevations for floor slabs.
Structuralfill below slab-on-grade floors and exterior concrete flatwork should be
placed in accordance with recommendations outlined in the Structural Fillsec-
tíon. We recommend the following precautions for slab-on-grade construction at
thís site.
Floor slabs should be separated from exterior walls and interior
bearing members with slip joints which allow free vertical move-
ment of the slabs.
underslab plumbing should be pressure tested for reaks before the
slabs are constructed. Plumbing and utilities which pass through
slabs should be isolated from the slabs with sleeves and provided
with flexible couplÍngs to slab supported appliances.
3 Exterior concrete flatwork should be isolated from the buirding.
ïhese slabs should be well-reinforced to function as independent
units.

Frequent controljoints should be provided, in accordance with
American concrete lnstitute (Acl) recommendations, to reduce
problems associated with shrinkage and curling.
The lnternational Building code (lBc)'may require a vapor retarder
be placed between the base course or subgrade soirs and the con-
crete slab-on-grade floors. The merits of installation of a vapor re-
tarder below floor slabs depend on the sensitivity of floor coverings
to moisture. A properly installed vapor retarder (10 mil minimuml is
more beneficial below concrete slab-on-grade floors where floor
coverings, painted floor surfaces or products stored on the floor will
be sensitive to moisture.
BELOW-GRADE CONSTRUCTION
Subsequent to our previous geotechnical ínvestigation report, building
plans were revised such that the main level floor will be constructed as a slab-on-
grade. No below-grade areas, such as a crawl space, are currently planned. As
such, recommendations for lateral earth pressures and subsurface drainage are
not included in this revísed report.
SURFACE DRA¡NAGE
Surface drainage is critical to the performance of foundations, floor stabs,
and concrete flatwork. Surface drainage should be designed to provide rapid
runoff of surface water away from the residence. Proper surface drainage and ir-
rigation practices can help control the amount of surface water that penetrates to
foundation levels and contributes to settlement or heave of soils and bedrock that
support foundations and slabs-on-grade. Positive drainage away from the foun-
dation and avoidance of irrigation near the foundation also help to avoid exces-
sive wetting of backfill soils, which can lead to Íncreased backfill settlement and

possibly to higher lateral earth pressures, due to increased weight and reduced
strength of the backfill. we recommend the following precautions.
The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the residence
should be sloped to drain away from the building in all directions.
we recommend a minimum constructed slope of at least 12 inches
in the first 10 feet (10 percent) in landscaped areas around the resi-
dence, where practical.
Roof downspouts and draíns should discharge well beyond the lim-
its of all backfill. Splash blocks and/or extensions should be pro-
vided at all downspouts so water discharges onto the ground be-
yond the backfill,
Landscaping should be carefully designed and maintained to mini-
mize irrigation. Plants placed close to foundation walls should be
limited to those with low moisture requirements. sprinklers should
not discharge within 5 feet of foundations. Plastic sheeting should
not be placed beneath landscaped areas adjacent to foundation
walls or grade beams. Geotextile fabric will inhibit weed growth yet
still allow natural evaporation to occur.
CONCRETE
Concrete in contact with soil can be subject to sulfate attack. A water-sol-
ubfe sulfate concentration of 0.0 percent was measured in one sample of the
subsoils from the site. For this level of sulfate concentration, ACI 332-08 Code
Requirements for Residential Concrete indicates there are no special require-
ments for sulfate resistance.
ln our experience, superficial damage may occur to the exposed surfaces
of highly permeable concrete. To control this risk and to resist freeze thaw deteri-
oration, the water-to-cementitious materials ratio should not exceed 0.50 for con-
crete in contact with soils that are likely to stay moist due to surface drainage or
high-water tables. Concrete should have a total air content of 60/o +l-1.5o/o.We

CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
we recommend that crl I Thompson, lnc. be retained to provide con-
struction observation and materials services for the project. This would allow us
the opportunity to verify whether soil conditions are consistent wíth those found
during this investígation. lf others perform these observations, they must accept
responsibility to judge whether the recommendations in this report remain appro-
priate. lt is also beneficialto projects, from economic and schedule standpoints,
when there is continuity between engineering consultation and the construction
observation and materials testing phases.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER¡NG SERVICES
CTL I Thompson, Inc. is a full-service geotechnical, structural, materials,
and environmental engineering firm. We would appreciate the opportuníty to pro-
vide structural engíneering services for the proposed residence. Our services
would include preparation of structural framing and foundation plans. Based on
our experience, CTL I Thompson, lnc. typically provides value to project from
schedule and economic standpoints due to a combined expertise and experience
with geotechnical, structural, and materials engineering. On future projects, we
would like to be included on your list of firms to receÍve requests for proposals for
structural engineering services.

GEOTECHNICAL RISK
The concept of risk is an important aspect of any geotechnical evaluation.
The primary reason for this is that the analytical methods used to develop ge-
otechnical recommendations do not comprise an exact science. The analytical
tools which geotechnical engineers use are generally empirical and must be tem-
pered by engineering judgment and experience. Therefore, the solutions or rec-
ommendations presented in any geotechnical evaluation should not be consid-
ered risk-free and, more importantly, are not a guarantee that the interaction be-
tween the soils and that the proposed structure will perform as desired or in-
tended. What the engineering recommendations presented in the preceding sec-
tions do constitute is our estimate, based on the information generated during
this and prevÍous evaluations and our experience in working with these condi-
tions, of those measures that are necessary to help the building perform satisfac-
torily.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the client for the
purpose of providing geotechnical design and construction criteria for the pro-
posed project. The information, conclusions, and recommendations presented
herein are based upon consideration of many factors including, but not limited to,
the type of structures proposed, the geologic setting, and the subsurface condi-
tions encountered. The conclusions and recommendations contained in the re-
pod are not valid for use by others. Standards of practice continuously change in
the area of geotechnical engineering. The recommendations provided in this re-
port are appropriate for three years. lf the proposed project is not constructed
within three years, we should be contacted to determine if we should update this
report.

LIMITATIONS
Our exploratory pits were located to provide a reasonably accurate picture
of subsurface conditions. Variations in the subsurface conditions not indicated
by the pits will occur. Our representative should be called to observe the com-
pleted foundation excavation to confirm that conditions are as anticipated and
suitable for support of the foundation as designed.
This investigation was conducted in a manner consistent with that level of
care and skill ordinarily exercised by geotechnical engineers currently practicing
under similar conditions in the locality of this project. No warranty, express or im-
plied, is made. lf we can be of further service in discussing the contents of this
report, please call.
