The F&R technician performed six Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests, After discussing the test results with Mr. Michael Sloan of F&R, Mr. Sloan indicated that based on the results of the DCP testing and the In -place density test results, the foundations are suitable for support of foundations designed for 2,000 pounds per square foot soil bearing capacity, Mr, Hymel was informed of the test results and requested that the reports be foxed to his office as soon as possible, so that he may place concrete tomorrow. oo be ex«osed to rain Qrior to concrete placement, F&R recommends that the subgrade be re-evaluated.

MT. Hymel stated that the building inspector was concerned that the subgrade at some locations did not meet 2,000 pounds per square foot (psf) bearing capacity as required. F&R had previously conducted 'spot check' in -place density testing on the fill placed to develop the small building pad. Ten Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests were conducted; one at each pier location. The results indicated that 2,000 psf soil bearing capacity had been achieved at only 4 of the 10 test locations, Mr. Hymel was notified of the test results on site, After discussing the results with Mr, Michael Sloan of F&R, M. Sloan recommended that the subgrade at the failing test locations be either compacted with a hand tamp, or over -excavated about 6 inches to achieve 2,000 psf bearing capacity, No action was taken to correct the low bearing foundation subgrade on this date due to the late time of day -1 �+ __ �wpp�tooerformretestinqof SRANCKkS� ASHFVILLE, NC - 5ALITIMORt, 'AD - CHARLOT E, NO ° '.HSAP6AKE, VA CROZET, VA ® FAYETTP11LLE, NO - FREDSRICKSSURGVA - GR4�Nvl(_�Z, SC mICKORY.
