PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results ofa subsurface study for a proposed residence to be located on
Tract 8, Scutter Lane, Garfield County, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figures 1A and
lB. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for foundation design. The
study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to
Barbara Keranen, dated lune 29, 2AZl.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain
information on subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils and bedrock obtained during the
field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their classifìcation, 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
At the time of our study, design plans for the residence were in progress. The building will be a
one and two-story structure with a walkout lower level and located as shown on Figure 18.
Ground floors could be slab-on-grade and structural above crawlspace. Excavation for the
building will have planned cut depths of around 3 to 6 feet below the existing ground surface
based on the contours shown on Figure lB. For the purpose of our analysis, foundation loadings
for the structure were assumed to be relatively light and typical of the proposed type of
construction.
If building loadings, location or grading plans are significantly different from those described
above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The building site was vacant and vegetated with grass and weeds with scattered sage brush and
junipers throughout the property at the time of our study. A fwo-track trail crosses through the
building site as shown on Figure 1A. The ground surface slopes gently down to the southwest
with about 7 feet of elevation difference across the building footprint.

FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on July 16, 202ir Two exploratory borings
were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1B to evaluate the subsurface conditions. The
borings were advanced with a 4-inch diameter continuous flight auger powered by a truck-
mounted CME-458 drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Kumar &
Associates.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with a 2-inch I.D. spoon sampler. The sampler was driven
into the subsurface materials 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-l586
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils and hardness of the bedrock. Depths at which the samples were taken and the
penetration resistance values are shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The
samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURF'ACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. Below
about one foot of organic topsoil, the subsoils consist of very stiffto hard, sandy clay with
claystone fragments, At a depth of about 5 feet, claystone bedrock was encountered down to the
boring depths of 16 to 2l feet. The bedrock was medium hard and weathered to very hard with
depth. At Boring 2, between about 7 ro 12 feet deep, very hard, siltstone-sandstone bedrock was
encountered,
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained during the field exploration included natural
moisture content and density and finer than sand size gradation analyses. Swell-consolidation
testing was performed on relatively undisturbed drive samples of the clay soils and weathered
claystone bedrock. The swell-consolidation test results, presented on Figures 4 and 5, indicate
low compressibility under relatively light surcharge loading and a low to high expansion
potential when wetted under a constant light surcharge. Below the weathered depth of a few
feet, the claystone was too hard to obtain an undisturbed sample for swell-consolidation testing
The laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsoils and bedrock
were slightly moist.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The clay soils and weathered claystone encountered at the site are expansive. Shallow
foundations placed on the expansive soils similar to those encountered at this site can experience
Kumar & Associates, lnc. ô Project No.2l-7-574
-J-
movement causing structural distress if the clay or weathered claystone is subjected to changes in
moisture content. A drilled pier foundation can be used to penetrate the expansive materials to
place the bottom of the piers in azone of relatively stable moisture conditions and make it
possible to load the piers sufficiently to resist uplift movements. Using a pier foundation, each
column is supported on a single drilled pier and the building walls are founded on grade beams
supported by a series of piers. Loads applied to the piers are transmitted to the bedrock partially
through peripheral shear stresses and partially through end bearing pressure. In addition to their
ability to reduce differential movements caused by expansive materials, straight-shaft piers have
the advantage of providing relatively high supporting capacity and should experience a relatively
small amount of movement.
The very hard claystone and siltstone-sandstone bedrock encountered with depth is possibly not
expansive or has a low expansion potential. The feasibility of spread footings placed on the low
or non-expansive materials or on compacted structural fill as an alternate support of the
foundation could be further evaluated when the building site has been excavated.
DESIGN RJCOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Based on the data obtained during the fïeld and laboratory studies, we recommend straight-shaft
piers drilled into the claystone bedrock be used to support the proposed structure.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a straight-shaft pier
foundation system:
1) The piers should be a minimum diameter of 12 inches and designed for an
allowable end bearing pressure of 30,000 psf and an allowable skin friction value
of 3,000 psf for that portion of the pier in bedrock.
2) Piers should also be designed for a minimum dead load pressure of 10,000 psf
based on pier end area only. If the minimum dead load requirement cannot be
achieved, the pier length should be extended beyond the minimum penetration to
make up the dead load deficit, This can be accomplished by assuming one-half
the allowable skin friction value given above acts in the direction to resist uplift.
3) Uplift on the piers from structural loading can be resisted by utilizing 75Yo of the
allowable skin friction value plus an allowance for the weight of the pier.
4) Piers should penetrate at least fïve pier diameters into the hard bedrock. A
minimum penetration of 6 feet into the bedrock and a minimum pier length of
15 feet are recommended.
5) Piers should be designed to resist lateral loads assuming a modulus of horizontal
subgrade reaction of 75 tcf in the clay soils and a modulus of horizontal subgrade
Kumar &Associates, lnc. ø Project No.21-7"574
4
reaction of 250 tcf in the bedrock. The modulus values given are for a long,
1 foot wide pier and must be corrected for pier size.
6) Piers should be reinforced their full length with at least one #5 reinforcing rod for
each 14 inches of pier perimeter (minimum of 3) to resist tension created by the
swelling materials.
7) A 4-inch void form should be provided beneath grade beams to prevent the
swelling soil and rock from exerting uplift forces on the grade beams and to
concentrate pier loadings. A void form should also be provided beneath pier caps.
8) Concrete utilized in the piers should be a fluid mix with sufficient slump so that
concrete will fill the void between the reinforcing steel and the pier hole.
9) Pier holes should be properly cleaned prior to the placement of concrete. The
drilling contractor should mobilize equipment of suffrcient size to effectively drill
through possible cemented bedrock zones.
10) Although free water was not encountered in the borings drilled at the site, some
seepage in the pier holes may be encountered during drilling. Dewatering
equipment may be required to reduce water infiltration into the pier holes. If
water cannot be removed prior to placement of concrete, the tremie method
should be used after the hole has been cleaned of spoil. In no case should
concrete free fall into more than 3 inches of water.
11) Care should be taken to prevent the forming of mushroom-shaped tops of the
piers which can increase uplift force on the piers from swelling soils and bedrock,
12) A representative ofthe geotechnical engineer should observe pier drilling
operations on a full-time basis.
FOLINDATION AND RETAINING V/ALLS
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 65 pcf for backfrll consisting of the
on-site soils and 50 pcf for backfill consisting of imported granular materials. Cantilevered
retaining structures which are separate from the residence and can be expected to deflect
suffrciently 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 55 pcf for backfrll
consisting of the on-site soils and 40 pcf for backfill consisting of imported granular materials.
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
Kumar &Associates, lnc. ô Project No.21-7-574
-5-
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.
Backfrll should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90% of the maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near to slightly above optimum. Backfill placed in
pavement areas should be compacted to at least 95o/o 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 backfïll.
We recommend imported granular soils for backfilling foundation walls and retaining structures
because their use results in lower lateral earth pressures. Imported granular wall backfïll should
contain less than 25% passing the No. 200 sieve and have a maximum size of 4 inches. Granular
materials should be placed to within 2 feet of the ground surface and to a minimum of 3 feet
beyond the walls. The upper 2 feet of the wall backfill should be a relatively impervious on-site
soil or a pavement structure should be provided to prevent surface water infiltration into the
backfill.
Shallow spread footings may be used for support of retaining walls separate from the residence
building, provided some differential movement and distress can be tolerated, Footings should be
sized for a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 psf. The lateral resistance of 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 coefftcient of friction of 0.35. Passive
pressure 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 should be compacted to atleastgiYo
of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum.
FLOOR SLABS
Floor slabs present a problem where expansive materials are present near floor slab elevation
because sufficient dead load cannot be imposed on them to resist the uplift pressure generated
when the materials are wetted and expand. We recommend that structural floors with crawlspace
below be used for all floors in the building that will be sensitive to upward movement.
Kumar &As¡ociates, lnc. o Project No.21-7-574
-6-
Slab-on-grade construction may be used in the garage area provided the risk of distress is
understood by the owner. We recommend placing at least 3 feet of nonexpansive structural fill
below floor slabs in order to help mitigate slab movement due to expansive soils.
To reduce the effects of some differential movement, nonstructural floor slabs should be
separated from all bearing walls, columns and partition walls with expansion joints which allow
unrestrained vertical movement, Interior non-bearing partitions resting on floor slabs should be
provided with a slip joint at the bottom of the wall so that, if the slab moves, the movement
cannot be transmitted to the upper structure. This detail is also important for wallboards,
stairways and door frames. Slip joints which allow at least 4 inches of vertical movement are
recommended. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage
cracking. Joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on
experience and the intended slab use.
If a basement floor slab is used after all potentially expansive clay and claystone is removed, a
minimum 4-inch layer of free-draining gravel should be placed immediately beneath the
basement level slab-on-grade. This material should consist of minus 2-inch aggregate with less
than 50Yo passing the No, 4 sieve and less than2Yo passing the No. 200 sieve. The free-draining
gravel will aide in drainage below the slabs and should be connected to the underdrain system.
Required fìll beneath slabs should consist of a suitable imported granular material, excluding
topsoil and oversized rocks. The suitability of structural fill materials should be evaluated by the
geotechnical engineer prior to placement. The fïll should be spread in thin horizontal lifts,
adjusted to at or above optimum moisture content, and compacted to 95% of the maximum
standard Proctor density. All vegetation, topsoil and loose or disturbed soil should be removed
prior to frll placement.
The above recommendations will not prevent slab heave if the expansive soils underlying slabs-
on-grade become wet. However, the recommendations will reduce the effects if slab heave
occurs. All plumbing lines should be pressure tested before backfilling to help reduce the
potential for wetting.
LINDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although groundwater was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our experience in
the area and where clay soils and bedrock are present, that local perched groundwater can
develop during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring
runoff can create a perched condition. Therefore, we recommend below-grade construction,
such as crawlspace and basement areas, be protected from wetting by an underdrain system. The
drain should also act to prevent buildup of hydrostatic pressures behind foundation walls.
Kumar &Associates, lnc. o Project No. 21-7-574
-7 -
The underdrain system should consist of a drainpipe surrounded by free'draining granular
material placed at the bottom of the wall backfill. The drain lines should be placed at each level
of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade, and sloped at a minimum
to/o grade to a suitable gravity outlet. Free-draining granular material used in the drain system
should consist of minus Z-inch aggregate with less than 50Yo passing the No. 4 sieve and less
than2o/o passing the No. 200 sieve. The drain gravel should be at least 2 feet deep. Void form
below the grade beams can act as a conduit for water flow. An impervious liner such as 20 mil
PVC may be placed below the drain gravel in a trough shape and attached to the grade beam with
mastic to keep drain water from flowing beneath the grade beam and to other areas of the
building.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all
times after the residence has been completed:
l) Excessive wetting or drying of the foundation excavations and underslab areas
should be avoided during construction. Drying could increase the expansion
potential of the clay soils.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to
at least 95o/o of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement areas and to at
leastg}Yo of the maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas. Free-
draining wall backfìll should be capped with about 2 feet of the on-site soils to
reduce surlace water infiltration.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to
drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum
slope of 12 inches in the frrst 10 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of
3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backftll,
5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irigation should be located at least
l0 feet from foundation walls, Consideration should be given to use of xeriscape
to help prevent wetting below the building from landscape inigation,
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 borings drilled at the locations 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 borings and variations in the subsurface
conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear to be different from those described in this report, we should be
notified at once so re-evaluation of the recofitmendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design pu{poses. We are not
responsible for technical interpretations by others of ow information. As the project evolves, we
should provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and
monitor the implementation of our recoÍrmendations, and to veriff that the recommendations
have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis
or modifications of the recommendations presented herein. 'We recommend on-site observation
of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of
the geotechnical engineer.
