SCOPE
This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering investiga-
tion for the Johnson Residence proposed along Colorado Highway 325 in Gar-
field County, Colorado. We conducted this investigation to evaluate subsurface
conditions at the site and provide geotechnical engineering recommendations for
the planned residence. Our report was prepared from data developed from our
field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, and our experience
with similar conditions. This report includes a description of the subsurface con-
ditions observed in exploratory pits and presents geotechnical engineering rec-
ommendations for design and construction of foundations, floor systems, below-
grade walls, and details influenced by the subsoils. Recommendations contained
in this report were developed based on our understanding of the proposed con-
struction. A summary of our conclusions is below.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
Our exploratory pits (TP-1 and TP-2) excavated at the site encoun-
tered about 6 inches of topsoil over soils consisting predominantly
of silty to clayey sand to depths of 10.5 feet and 8 feet. The clayey
to silty sand was intermixed with silty sandy clay The soils below a
depth of B feet inTP-2 were silty to clayey gravelwith cobbles.
Groundwater was not found in our exploratory pits.
2.Soils at anticipated foundation elevation for the building will consist
predominantly of clayey to silty sand. We judge the residence can
be constructed on a footing foundation supported by the undis-
turbed, natural soils at the site. Design and construction criteria for
the footing foundation are provided in the report.
A perimeter foundation drain should be constructed around the
crawlspace below the residence. Ground surface adjacent to the
residence should be graded to provide for rapid removal of surface
water away from the building,

PROPOSED CONSTRUGTION
We were provided with plans for the residence by Drummond House
Plans (dated December 17,2018). The plans indicated the Johnson Residence
will be a two-story, wood-frame building. We understand the client desires a
crawl space below the main level floor. Several covered decks will be on the
building exterior. Foundation loads along perimeter walls are likely to be be-
tween 1,000 and 3,000 pounds per linear feet with maximum interior column
loads of less than 50 kips. We should be informed if construction plans change
so we can provide geotechnical/geo-structural engineering input.
SITE GEOLOGY
As part of our geotechnical engineering investigation, we reviewed the ge-
ologic map by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), titled, "Geologic Map of the
Rifle Quadrangle, Garfield County, Colorado", by Ralph R. Shroba and Robert
Scott (dated 1997)" The overburden soils at the site are mapped as undivided
alluvium and colluvium. The silty to clayey sand and gravel soils found in our ex-
ploratory pits excavated at the site are consistent with the descriptions on the map-
ping. The soils are underlain at depth by bedrock units of the Wasatch formation,
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
To investigate subsurface conditions at the site, we excavated two explor-
atory pits (TP-1 and TP-2) at the approximate locations shown on Figure 2. Ex-
ploratory excavation operations were directed by our representative who logged
subsoils encountered in the pits and obtained representative samples of the
soils. Graphic logs of the soils exposed in the pits are included as Figure 3.

SITE EARTHWORK
We anticipate the foundation excavation will extend to depths of 3 to 5 feet
to attain bottom of crawlspace elevation. Our subsurface information indicates
the subsoils at this depth will consist predominantly of clayey to silty sand. Sides
of excavations deeper than 4 feet should be sloped to meet local, state, and fed-
eral safety regulations. The natural soils at the site will likely classify as Type B
or C soils based on OSHA criteria. Sides of excavations should be no steeper
than 1 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) in Type B soils and 1.5 to 1 in Type C soils.
The contractor is responsible for identification of soil types and proper sloping
and excavation sloping,
Free groundwater was not encountered in our exploratory pits during ex-
cavation, We do not expect that excavations to the anticipated depths (3 to 5
feet) will penetrate a free groundwater table. We suggest excavations be sloped
to a gravity discharge or to a temporary sump where water from precipitation and
runoff can be removed by pumping.
Foundation Wall Backfill
Proper placement and compaction of foundation backfill is important to re-
duce infiltration of surface water and settlement of backfill. This is especially im-
portant for backfill areas that will support pavements, such as in the driveway.
The excavated soils free of rocks larger than 4 inches in diameter, organics and
debris can be reused as backfill adjacent to foundation wall exteriors.
Backfill should be placed in loose lifts of approximately 10 inches thick or
less, moisture-conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content and
compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density

(ASTM D 698). Our representative should test moisture content and density of
the backfill during placement.
FOUNDATION
Our subsurface information indicates the soils at anticipated foundation el-
evation for the building will consist predominanfly of clayey to silty sand. we
judge the Johnson Residence can be constructed on a footing foundation sup-
ported by the undisturbed, natural soils at the site. Our representative should be
called to observe the completed foundation excavation to confirm that conditions
are as anticipated from our investigation and suitable for support of footings.
Recommended design and construction criteria for footings are below.
The residence can be constructed on a footing foundation sup-
ported by the undisturbed, natural ctayey to silty sand.
Footings can be sized using a maximum allowabre bearing pres-
sure of 2,500 psf.

continuous wall footings should have a minimum width of at least
16 inches. Foundations for isolated corumns should have minimum
dimensions of 24 inches by 24 inches. Larger sizes may be re-
quired, depending upon foundation loads
Grade beams and foundation walls shourd be werr reinforced, top
and bottom, to span undisclosed loose or soft soil pockets. we rec-
ommend reinforcement sufficient to span an unsuppofted distance
of at least 12 feet.
Ihe soils under exterior footings shourd be protected from freezing,
'rfy'e reeommend the bottom of footings be constructecj at a depth of
at least 36 inches below finished exterior grades. The Garfield
county building department should be consurted regarding required
depth.

STRUCTURALLY.S UPPORTED FLOORS AN D CRAWL S PACES
The main levelfloor in the residence will be structurally-supported with a
crawl space below. The required air space in crawl spaces depends on the ma-
terials used to construct the floor and the potential expansion of the underlying
soils. Building codes normally require a clear space of at least 18 inches be-
tween exposed earth and untreated wood floor components, For non-organic
systems, we recommend a minimum clear space of 12 inches,
Utility connections, including water, gas, air duct, and exhaust stack con-
nections to appliances on structural floors should be capable of absorbing some
deflection of the floor. Plumbing that passes through the floor should ideally be
hung from the underside of the structuralfloor and not laid on the bottom of the
excavation. lt is prudent to maintain the minimum clear space below all plumbing
lines.
Control of humidity in crawl spaces is important for indoor air quality and
peformance of wood floor systems. We believe the best current practices to
control humidity involve the use of a vapor retarder or vapor barrier (10 mil mini-
mum) placed on the soils below accessible subfloor areas, The vapor re-
tarder/barrier should be sealed at joints and attached to concrete foundation ete-
ments.
FOUNDATION WALLS
Foundation walls which extend below-grade should be designed for lateral
earth pressures where backfill is not present to about the same extent on both
sides of the wall, such as in crawl spaces. Many factors affect the values of the
design lateralearth pressure. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
MICHAEL JOHNSON
JOHNSON RESIDENCE
PROJECT NO. cS06488.000-120
ffi
type, compaction, slope, and drainage of the backfill, and the rigidity of the wall
against rotation and deflection.
For a very rigid wall where negligible or very little deflection will occur, an
"at-rest" lateral earth pressure should be used in design. For walls that can de-
flect or rotate 0.5 to 1 percent of wall height (depending upon the backfill types),
design for a lower "active" lateral earth pressure may be appropriate. Our experi-
ence indicates typical below-grade walls in residences deflect or rotate slighly
under normal design loads, and that this deflection results in satisfactory wall
performance. Thus, the earth pressures on the walls will likely be between the
"active" and "at-rest" conditions,
For backfill conforming with recommendations in the Foundation Wall
Backfill section, that are not saturated, we recommend design of below-grade
walls at this site using an equivalent fluid density of at least 40 pcf. This value as-
sumes deflection; some minor cracking of walls may occur. lf very little wall de-
flection is desired, a higher design value for the at-rest condition using an equiva-
lent fluid pressure of 50 pcf is recommended.
SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE
Water from precipitation and sufface irrigation frequently flows through rel-
atively permeable backfill placed adjacent to a residence and collects on the sur-
face of less permeable soils at the bottom of foundation excavations. This pro-
cess can cause wet or moist eonditions after construction. To reduce the likeli-
hood water pressure will develop outside foundation walls and the risk of accu-
mulation of water in below-grade areas, we recommend provision of a foundation
drain adjacent to the perimeter of the crawlspace. The drain should consist of a
4-inch diameter, slotted pipe encased in free-draining gravel. The drain should
MICHAEL JOHNSON
JOHNSON RESIDENCE
PROJECT NO, G506486.000-120
ffi
lead to a positive gravity outlet or to a sump where water can be removed by
pumping. The foundation drain concept is shown on Figure 5.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Surface drainage is critical to the performance of foundations, floor slabs,
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 of soils that support the building
foundation. Positive drainage away from the foundation and avoidance of irriga-
tion near the foundation also help to avoid excessive wetting of backfill soils,
which can lead to increased 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.
The residence should be provided with roof gutters and down-
spouts. The downspouts should discharge well beyond the limits of
all backfill. Splash blocks and/or extensions should be provided at
all downspouts so water discharges onto the ground beyond 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. We meas-
ured a water-soluble sulfate concentration of 0.0 percent in a sample of the sub-
soils from the site. For this level of sulfate concentration, ACI 332-08 Code Re-
quirements for Residential Concrete indicates there are no special requirements
for sulfate resistance.
ln our experience, superficial damage may occur to the exposed suffaces
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 6o/a +t-1.5%. We
recommend all foundation walls and grade beams in contact with the subsoils (in-
cluding the inside and outside faces of garage and crawl spaces) be damp-
proofed.
CONSTRUCTION OBS ERVATIONS
we recommend that crl f rhompson, lnc. be retained to provide con-
struction observation and materials testing services for the project, This would
allow us the opportunity to verify whether soil conditions are consistent with those
found during this investigation. lf others perform these observations, they must
accept responsibility to judge whether the recommendations in this report remain
aopropriate. lt is also beneficial to projeets, from economic and practical stand-
points, when there is continuity between engineering consultation and the con-
struction observation and materials testing phases.

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 geotechnicalengineers 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 impoftantly, 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 evaluation and our experience working with these conditions, of those
measures that are necessary to help the building perform satisfactorily.
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
MICHAEL JOHNSON
JOHNSON RESIDENCE
PROJECT NO. GS0548e.000-1 20
ffi
herein are based upon consideration of many factors including, hrt not limited b,
the type of structures proposed, the geologic setting, and the subsurftae condF
tions encountered. The conclusions and recommendations contalned in the re-
port are not valid for use by others. Standards of practice continuously change irn
the area of geotechnical engineering. lf the proposed residence h not oon-
structed within three years, we should be contacted to determine ilre shouH rp
date this report.
LIMITATIONS
Our exploratory pits provide a reasonable picture of subsurfae condi[ons
below the site. Variations in the subsurface conditions not indicated bythe pils
will occur. Our representative should be called to observe the con@ted found&
tion excavation to confirm that conditions are as anticipated from our inveslig+
tion and suitable for support of footings.
This investigation was conducted in a manner consistent witir that level of
care and skill ordinarily exercised by geotechnical engineers cunen0y practlcing
under similar conditions in the locality of this project. No warrantlr" elercss or irr
plied, is made. lf we can be of further service in discussing the ornbnts of ltris
report, please call.
