Observations /Remarks :
S &ME on site for foundation evaluation for proposed Quality Tre. The foundation was excavated upon our arrival on site
The evaluation was performed using hand -auger borings, DCP test, and probing with a % -inch steel probe rod, A total of
six test were performed in the four corners and the center of the longer sides of the building. All hand -auger borings were
terminated in residual soils ranging from 1.5 to 3 feet below the foundation. All borings except the front right comer (front
1 facing Boyd Street) were terminated due to auger refusal. All auger refusal was due to hard residua) soils. The DCP test
results ranged from 6 to an excess of 25 blows per increment The soils mainly consisted of sandy silt with mica, clayey
sandy silt, and silty sand. No ground water was observed in any of the borings performed. Based on the results of the
hand auger borings and DCP tests and probing with 1/2" of steel rod, the foundations are capable of supporting design
foundations net allowable bearing pre ure of 3,000 psf.
