PURPOSE AND SCOPE F STUDY
This port presents the results of a subsoil study for proposed primary and secondary
&- to be located on Lot 7, Bighorn Addition,Filing 2 in Vail Colorado. The
prof- site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop
reco i endations for the foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance
with o I agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Steven Fischer dated June 5,
2008. Our services do not include evaluating geolot4:•cai hazards.
A exploration program consisting of one exploratory boring was conducted to obtain
inf& &&.lion on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the
field ploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their classification,
-bility or swell and other engineering characteristics. The results of the field
exp ; ion and laboratory testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for
f* 4 on types,.depths and allowable pressures for the proposed building foundation..
This • summarizes the data obtained during this study and presents our conclusions,
des'y recommendations and other geotechnical engineering considerations based on the
pro*s•;,'•cl construction and the subsoil conditions encountered.
PROPOSE!)CONSTRUCTION
The s**posed primary and secondary residences will be two story structures over garden
level *-.,..ements. Conventional wood frame construction will be used above grade with
casi:* *lace concrete foundation walls below grade. Ground floor wil.l likely be slab-on-
grade. Grading for the structures is assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths
I- &•about 4 to 12 feet. We assume relatively light foundation loadings,typical of the
-4.5 type of construction.
If buil.`rig loadings,location or grading plans change significantly from those described
ahoy- we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report

SITE CONDITIONS
i
,
The si - is located at 3796 Lupine Drive. An existing duplex occupies the site. We
I
a- a -. that the duplex will be demolished and the debris removed from the site. The
, .
sitel is .§unded by U.S. forest lands to the southwest,developed lots to the northwest and
so4th4st,and Lupine Drive to the northeast. The ground surface slopes steeply down
towans the northeast at the back of the lot and becomes gently sloping at the front of the
lot. V etation at the site consists of landscaped grass areas and pine and aspen trees.
Large boulders up to 8 to 10 feet in diameter were observed,on the lot.

FIELD EXPLORATION
The fl id exploration for the project was conducted on June 25,2008. One exploratory
boringwas drilled at the location shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface
__.
condi ons. The boring was advanced with 4 inch diameter continuous flight augers
pow 44 by a truck-mounted CME-45B drill rig. The boring was logged by a
re>1 .,•:,- •tive of Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical,Inc.
1 1
Samp :, of the subsoils were taken with 1%inch and 2 inch I.D.spoon samplers. The
samplers were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140 pound
hammer falling 30 inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described
by A Method D-1586. The penetration resistance values are an indication of the
relati density or consistency of the subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken
and the penetration resistance values are shown on the Log of Exploratory Boring, Figure
2. • samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and
SUBSURFACE COINTITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2.
An explanation of the notes and symbols used on the log is presented on Figure 3. The
subso encountered below the asphalt driveway generally consist of about 8.5 feet of

loose, a :: to slightly clayey,silty to very silty sand. Below the very loose sand,at a
depth ,f about 11 feet,medium dense,slightly silty to silty,sandy to very sandy gravel
_._ was auntered to the depth explored.
LalSo try testing performed on samples obtained from the boring consisted of natural
moisture content and density,percent passing the No.200 sieve,liquid and plastic limits,
swellonsoli:dation and gradation analyses. Results of swell-consolidation testing
perfo ed on relatively undisturbed drive samples, presented on Figures 4 and 5,indicate
high compressibility under conditions of loading and wetting. Results of gradation
anal),- performed on a small diameter drive sample of the natural coarse granular soils
are; own on Figure 6. The laboratory test results ares �4 on Figure 2.
Free ' 'er was encountered in the boring at the time of drilling at the depth shown on
Fi 2. A piezometer consisting of l Y2-inch diameter hand--slotted PVC pipe was
install a in the boring after drilling to monitor water levels. Free water was observed in
the piezometer when checked 13 days after drilling at the depth shown on Figure 2. The
s ' were generally moist to wet.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
1
The existing native,very loose silt(ML)and sand(SM)encountered at the site are poor
soil • .ditions for support of the proposed structures. Spread footings and slabs placed
ort thy: soils could undergo excessive settlements. We recommend that the very loose
I
silt x• •s sand soils be removed and the structures founded on the medium dense gravel
soils( P-QM)which were encountered in our exploratory boring at a depth of about 11
feet •, on a compacted granular fill placed on the gravel soils. Groundwater was
e °• .+atered at a depth of about i feet below the ground surface and constriction.
•. .tering will be required for excavations below the groundwater level. It is anticipated
that trenches and sumps can be used to collect the water and pumps used to remove the
water.; Recommendations for foundation support are discussed below.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FO rATIONS
Consit-.ring the subsoil conditions encountered in the exploratory boring and the nature
of the posed construction,we recommend the structures be founded with spread
footinli. bearing on the natural gravel soils or compacted granular fill.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread
footing foundation system.
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural granular soils or compacted
granular fill should be designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of
2,000 pounds per square foot. Based on experience,we expect settlement
of footings designed and constructed as discussed in this section will be up
to about 1 inch or less.
2) The footing should have a I/Unix/ruin width of 18 inches for continuous
walls and 2 feet for isolated pads.
3) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided
with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection.
Placement of foundations at least 42 inches below exterior grade is
typically used in this area. Concrete should not be placed on frost,frozen
soil, snow or ice,
4) Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span
local anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported length of at least 10
feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also be
designed to resist lateral earth pressures as discussed in the "Foundation
and Retaining Walls" section of this report.
5) All existing fill, debris, topsoil, very loose silt and sand,and any loose or
disturbed soils should be removed and the footing bearing level extended
down to the relatively dense natural gravel soils. The exposed soils in
footing areas should then compacted. As an alternative to extending the
footing bearing level down,compacted granular fill can be placed on top
of the natural gravel soils. Water seepage will be encountered during
Job No_408 200A Giggtech
- 5
excavation. The footing areas should be dewatered to a depth of 2 feet
below the upper limit of gravel sods before structural fill/concrete
placement and we should be contacted for further evaluation.
6) Structural fill used for support of the structure s should consist of a
relatively well-graded imported gramtlar material with no rock larger than
about 6 inches in diameter and be properly placed and compacted to
reduce the risk of settlement and distress. Structural fills should be placed
in unifonn lifts not to exceed 10 inches thick and compacted to at least
98%of the maximum standard Proctor(ASTM D-698)dry density at a
moisture content within 2%of optimum. Fill should extend laterally
beyond the edges of the footings a distance at least equal to the depth of
fill below footing subgrade. Prior to the fill placement,the sub.,, e
should be carefully prepared by removing all existing till,vegetation and
topsoil and compacting to at least 98%of the maximum standard Proctor
dry density. Any wet and soft subgrade soils should be removed prior to
fill placement
7) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all footing
excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.
FO ' ATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Fours .tion 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 ressure ccanputed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 55
poun4 per cubic foot(pet)for backfill consisting of imported granular materials or any
on-site granular soils approved by the geotechnical.engineer. Cantilevered retaining
structures which are separate from the structures and can be expected to deflect
suI'fic ently 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 at least
45 pc for backfill consisting of imported granular materials or any on-site granular soils
app ed by the geotechnical engineer. The backfill should not contain rock larger than
about inches in diameter. The very loose silt and sand deposits containing organics
- - ed in our boring are not suitable for use as wall backfill:.. Required fill can
Job.No.408 200A G,14ritect,
-6-
consi of any on-site granular soils devoid of vegetation,topsoil, silt and sand deposits
with organics,and oversized rock.
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
wailsnd a horizontal backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward
slopin backfill surface will increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or
re ' ' g structure. An underdrain should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure
tainata
buildup behind walls.
Backfill in pavement and walkway areas should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted
to at least 9S%of the maximum standard Proctor(ASTM D-698)dry density at a
moisture content within 2%of optimum. Backfill in landscape areas should be
compacted to at least 90%of the maximum standard Proctor dry density at a moisture
come t near optimum. Care should be taken not to overeompact the backbit or use large
equip. ent near the wall,since this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall.
Some ettlement of deep foundation wall backfill should be expected,even if the material
is pladed correctly,and could result in distress to facilities constructed on the backfill,
The I eral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the
slidin resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure
againt the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be
calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.4. Passive pressure of compacted
backfill against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit
weight of 350 pcf or 200 pcf for the buoyant condition. 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 a granular material compacted to at
least 95%of the maximum standard Proctor dry density at a moisture content near
optimum

FLOOR SLABS
The I tural on-site soils,exclusive of topsoil and the very loose silt and sand deposits, are
suita e to support lightly loaded slab-on-grade construction. The natural silt and sand
soilsjhould be removed beneath slab areas. To reduce the effects of some differential
movement,floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with
ex;.< ,.ion joints which allow unrestrained vertical movement. Floor slab control joints
shout i be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for joint
s.• -'g and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience
and I intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free-draining gravel should be
pla.b beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage, This material should€onsist of
min ; 2 inch aggregate withat least 50%retained on the No. 4 sieve and less than 2%
passing the No. 200 sieve.
Struc fill placed for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95%of
maximum standard Proctor dry density at a moisture content within 2%of optimum.
Req " ed fill should consist of an imported granular soil approved by a representative of
the g technical engineer.
UNDERDRAIN SYS[EM
Freer was encountered during our exploration and it has been our experience in
mountainous areas that local perched groundwater can rise during times of heavy
precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen groundduring spring runoff can create a perched
condi 'on. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining walls,crawlspace
and ., =4 ent areas,be kept at least 2 feet above the high groundwater level and be
prat-. ed from wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an underdrain and wall drain
system. High groundwater level typically occurs in late spring or early summer. Weather
conditions, snowpack and elevation are a few factors that determine the level and time of
high groundwater. High groundwater level can vary annually.
The underdrain system should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall
ba~kfill surrounded above the invert level with free-draining gravel. The drainpipe
Job No.405 200A G tech
it

+' be placed at each level of excavation and at least 2 feet below lowest adjacent
f,'sh a .se and sloped at a minimum 1%to a suitable gravity outlet or sump and pump
syste 1
If he garden level slab is constructed within 2 feet of high groundwater level,lateral
I#<+ should be used below the building slabs to connect the underslab gravel with the
tinder system. The lateral drains should be adequately spaced to provide proper
drai ge for groundwater encountered in the building configuration. We can provide
additi a nal recommendations for lateral drains,including placement and elevation, upon
red;•:,: I
F " 'ti ..o;'ig gravel used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2%passing
the N._200 sieve, less than 50%passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum m size of 2
inch . The drain gravel backfill should be at least 21h feet deep and extend at least 1 foot
ahoyel
any water seepage observed in the excavation cut slope.
A wall drain system consisting of a geocomposite or I foot of clean gravel should be
p o. adjacent to below grade construction walls. The wall drain system should connect
into 4 • underdrain and extend to within 1 to 2 feet of the ground surface. A typical
unkiern ;' detail is shown on Figure 7.
SITE 'RARING
The .,. of construction-induced slope instability at the site appears low provided cut and
fill =.'I are limited. We assume the cut depths for the garden levels will not exceed
one l#;el,about.10 to 12 feet. Fills should be limited to about 4 to 6 feet deep.
Tern*+ excavation cut slopes should be made inaccordance with OSHA
requiments. A Type C sail may be assumed for temporary cuts and should be verified
by th. contractor's competent person. Embankment fills should be compacted to at least
95% of the maximum standard Proctor dry density within 2%of optimum moisture
content. Prior to fill placement,the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing
all vegetation and topsoil and compacting to at least 95%of the maximum standard
