Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Study
Proposed Mixed-Use Building
2XX Logan Avenue South
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Laboda:
We are pleased to present this geotechnical engineering report for the proposed mixed-use
building to be constructed in Renton, Washington. The scope of our work consisted of exploring
site surface and subsurface conditions, and then developing this report to provide
recommendations for general earthwork and design criteria for foundations, retaining walls, and
pavements. You authorized our work by accepting our proposal, P-4293, dated August 6, 1997. ,
The subsurace conditions of the proposed building site �vere explored with four test borirgs that
encountered loose fill and alluviaf soils overlying dense, gravelly sands. Due to the potential for .
unacceptable settlement if conventional foundations were to be used, we recommend that the
building loads be carried on deep foundations. On-grade slabs can be used, but should be
reinforced with steel bars to reduce cracking due to differential settlement. Pavement sections
should be supported over imported, gravelly structural fill. The on-site soils will not be useable for
structural fill, including utility backfill.
The attached report contains a discussion of the study and our recommendations. Please contact
us if there are any questions regarding this report or if we can be of further assistance during the ',
design and construction phases of this project. '
Respectfully submitted,

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed Mixed-Use Building
2XX Logan Avenue South
Renton, Washington
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnicai engineering study for
the site of the proposed mixed-use building in Renton. The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the
general location of the site.
We were provided with a conceptual site plan and a lot map. These plans showed the property
dimensions and a potential layout for the building. Based on the provided plans, and on
discussions with Charlie Laboda of Dally Homes, we anticipate that the site development could
consist of a large structure containing four floors of apartment units over a main floor occupied by
retail space and a parking garage. The main floor would be close to the existing site grades, with
no basement planned for the development. On-grade parking will be provided in the Seattle
pipeline right-of-way that abuts the southern boundary of the site. It appears that some street
improvements may be made in Logan Avenue South.
SITE CONDITIONS I,
Surface I
The site is a relatively large, irregularly-shaped parcel situated on the northern portion of downtown i
Renton. The provided lot map indicates that the property consists of at least two lots. Morris
Avenue South and Logan Avenue South abut the west and east sides of the property, respectively. I
The angled southem boundary of the site adjoins a Seattle pipeline right-of-way. The ground ,
surface on the property is relatively flat, with an apparent slight grade down toward the south. At
the time of our explorations the site was covered with asphalt, concrete, and gravel. The northern
and western portions of the property were being used for temporary storage of automobiles. The
southeastern corner of the site was asphalt-paved and had apparently been used in the past for an
automobile lot. A small, wood frame building that had been used by a past dealership was still
present in this area. Much of the site was surrounded by chain link fences.
Existing development in the vicinity of the site is a combination of commercial and residential. The
area south of the site is paved for parking within the Seattle pipeline right-of-way. South of this are
older commercial and retail buildings. Immediately north of the western two-thirds of the property is
an older single-family home and a detached garage. Within several feet of the north boundary of
the eastern one-third of the site is a commercial building that contains a tire dealership. The
surrounding commercial and retail buildings are primarily of concrete masonry (CMU) construction.
We observed indications of significant differential settlement in several of the neighboring buildings.
This was most obvious in the structures situated south of the pipeline right-of-way, where we
observed several large cracks extending the fult height of the building walls.
Subsurface
The subsurface conditions were explored by drilling four test borings at the approximate locations
shown on the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. The field exploration program was based upon the
proposed construction and required design criteria, the site topography and access, the subsur�ace
GEOTC-CH COtiSL'LTAVTS,INC.
Dally Homes JN 97281

conditions revealed during drilling, the scope of work outlined in our proposal, and on time and
budget constraints.
The borings were drilled on August 12 and 13, 1997, using a truck-mounted, hollow-stem auger
drill. Samples were taken at 5-foot intervals with a standard penetration sampler. This split-spoon
sampler, which has a 2-inch outside diameter, is driven into the soil with a 140-pound hammer
falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to advance the sampier a given distance is an
indication of the soil density or consistency. A geotechnical engineer from our staff observed the
drilling process, logged the test borings, and obtained representati�e samples of the soil
encountered. The Test Boring Logs are attached as Plates 3 through 6.
The four borings encountered 11 to approximately 25 feet of loose, sandy silt and silty sand below
. the surface cover of gravel or asphalt. These upper soils appear to be a combination of fill and
alluvium (river deposits). The geologic maps for Renton indicate that much of the area in the site
vicinity has been modified by past grading activities. River channels have meandered through
various portions of Renton since the last glaciers receded. Boring 2 encountered a log in the
alluvium at a depth of approximately 22 feet. Beneath the alluvium and fill, the borings found dense
sand containing varying amounts of gravel. These sands were revealed to the bottom of the
borings.
The final logs represent our interpretations of the field logs. The stratification lines on the logs
represent the approximate boundaries between soil types at the exploration locations. The actual
transition between soil types may be gradual, and subsurface conditions can vary between
exploration locations. The logs provide specific subsurface information only at the locations tested.
The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated on the test boring logs are interpretive
descriptions based on the conditions observed during drilling.
Groundwater
Groundwater seepage was observed at a depth of 8 to 18 feet. The test borings were left open for
only a short time period. Therefore, the seepage levels on the logs represent the location of
transient water seepage and may not indicate the static groundwater level. It should be noted that
groundwater levels vary seasonally with rainfall and other factors.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
It is our opinion that the proposed development is feasible from a geotechnical engineering
standpoint. The test borings conducted on the site encountered loose fill and alluvium overlying
dense sands. The loose soils are compressible and are potentially liquefiable below the water
table. To prevent unacceptable foundation settlement under static building loads, and in the event
of a moderate to large earthquake, we recommend that the building be supported on deep
foundations embedded into the dense sands. Due to the presence of potentially caving near-
surface soils and groundwater, it appears that augercast piers are the most suitable deep
foundation option. Vibrations from driven piling could potentially damage surrounding structures.

Ground improvements methods, such as dynamic compaction or gravel columns, do not appear
feasible for this project.
If some differential settlement is allowable in the lowest floor, which will be used primarily for
parking, a slab-on-grade could be used. This slab should be reinforced with steel bars to limit the
potential for excessive cracking. Number 4 rebar at 18-inch centers both way in the slab are
typically sufficient. Wherever possible, the slab should be isolated from the pier-supported walls
and columns. An exception to this is where interior and exterior slabs lead up to doorways. At
these locations the slab's reinforcement should be tied in to the pier-supported foundation. This
lessens the chance that a sharp downset (i.e. trip hazard) will form at the door threshold. Areas of
soft subgrade soils should be excavated beneath slabs and replaced with structural fill.
As evidenced by the settlement and relatively poo� performance of many pavements in the
surrounding area, the near-surface loose soils do not provide good subgrade support. Gravelly
structural fill should be provided beneath pavement sections to improve their performance.
The near-surface soils are generally silts, which are unsuitable for reuse as structural fill due to
their sensitivity to moisture. Utility backfill and other structural fill will need to be imported in order
for proper compaction to be achieved. The moisture-sensitive soils will be susceptible to
disturbance under equipment and foot traffic, particularly when they are wet. Quarry spalls or a
similar gravelly material should be used to construct access roads and working pads where heavy
equipment traffic is expected.
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be allowed to review the final deve!opment plans to verify that the
recommendations presented in this report are adequately addressed in the design. Such a plan
review would be additional work beyond the current scope of work for this study, and it may include
revisions to our recommendations to accommodate site, development, and geotechnical
constraints that become more evident during the review process.
Augercast Concrete Piers
Augercast piers are installed using continuous flight, hollow-stem auger equipment. Concrete grout
must be pumped continuously through the auger as it is withdrawn. We recommend that augercast
piers be installed by an experienced contractor who is familiar with the anticipated subsurface
conditions.
An allowable compressive capacity of 50 tons can be attained by installing a 16-inch diameter,
augercast concrete pier at least 10 fest into dense strata. For transient loading, such as wind or
seismic loads, the allowable pier capacity may be increased by one-third. We can provide design
criteria for different pier diameters and embedment lengths, if greater capacities are required. The
minimum center-to-center pier spacing should be three times the pier diameter. Based on our test
boring information, we estimate that pier lengths of about 25 to 40 feet will be required to achieve
adequate penetration into the bearing soil.
We estimate that the total settlement of single piers installed as described above will be on the
order of one-half inch. Most of this settlement should occur during the construction phase as the
dead loads are applied. The remaining post-construction settlement would be realized as the live-

Dally Homes JN 97281

loads are applied. We estimate that differentiai settlements over any portion of the structure should
be less than about one-quarter inch.
We recommend reinforcing each pier its entire length. This typically consists of a rebar cage
extending a portion of the pier's length with a full-length center bar. Each pier can be assumed to
have a point of fixity at 10 feet below the ground surface for the computation of lateral load
resistance. The loose soil against the piers can be assumed to have a design passive earth
resistance of 100 pounds per cubic foot (pcfl acting on two times the pier diameter. This relatively
low passive pressure is intended to account for the potential that some soil liquefaction could occur
adjacent to piers during an earthquake. Passive earth pressures on the grade beams will also
provide some lateral resistance. If structural fill is placed against the outside of the grade beams,
the design passive earth pressure from the fill can be assumed to be equal to that pressure exerted
by an equivalent fluid with a density of 200 pcf.
Seismic Considerations
The site is located within Seismic Zone 3, as illustrated on Figure No. 16-2 of the 1994 Uniform
Building Code (UBC). In accordance with Table 16-J of the 1994 UBC, the site soil profile is best
represented by Profile Type S3. The loose soils beneath the water table are susceptible to seismic
liquefaction during a moderate to large earthquake. On-grade elements, such as slabs and
pavements, would likely undergo significant differential settlement where liquefaction occurs. The
use of deep foundations to support the building should prevent catastrophic foundation settlement
that could result from seismic liquefaction.
Slabs-on-Grade
The subgrade soil beneath on-grade slabs must be in a firm, non-yielding condition at the time of
slab construction or underslab fill placement. Any soft areas encountered should be excavated and
replaced with select, imported, structural fill. The use of reinforcing steel is recommended to
reduce the potential for differential slab settlement and c�acking.
All slabs-on-grade should be underlain by a capillary break or drainage layer consisting of a
minimum 4-inch thickness of coarse, free-draining, structural fill with a gradation similar to that
discussed later in Permanent Foundation and Retaininq Walls. In areas where the passage of
moisture through the slab is undesirable, a vapor barrier, such as a 6-mil plastic membrane, should
be placed beneath the slab. Additionally, sand c�uld be used in the fine-grading process to reduce
damage to the vapor barrier, to provide uniform support under the slab, and to reduce shrinkage
cracking by improving the concrete curing process.
Permanent Foundation and Retaininq Walls
Retaining walls backfilled on only one side should be designed to resist the lateral earth pressures
imposed by the soil they retain. The following recommended design parameters are for walls that
restrain level backfill:
GEOTECH CO:VSULT.-��TS,I�C.
Dally Homes JN 97281
August 26, 1997 Page 5
Parameter Desiqn Value
Active Earth Pressure* 40 pcf
Soil Unit Weight 130 pcf
Where:
1. pcf is pounds per cubic foot. � �,
2. Active earth pressures are computed '
using the equivalent fluid densities. '
' For a restrained wall that cannot deflect
at least 0.002 times its height, a
uniform lateral pressure equal to 10 psf
times the height of the wall should be
added to the above active equivalent
fluid pressure.
The values given above are to be used to design permanent foundation and retaining walls only.
The passive pressure given is appropriate for the depth of level, structural fill placed in front of a
retaining or foundation wall only. We recommend a safety factor of at least 1.5 for overturning and
sliding, when using the above values to design the walls.
The design values given above do not include the effects of any hydrostatic pressures behind the
walls and assume that no surcharge slopes or loads, such as vehicles, will be placed behind the
walls. If these conditions exist, those pressures should be added to the above lateral soil
pressures. Also, if sloping backfill is desired behind the walls, we will need to be given the wall
dimensions and the slope of the backfill in order to provide the appropriate design earth pressures.
Heavy construction equipment should not be operated behind retaining and foundation walls within
a distance equal to the height of a wall, unless the walls are designed for the additional lateral
pressures resulting from the equipment. The wall design criteria assume that the backfill will be
well-compacted in lifts no thicker than 12 inches. The compaction of backfill near the walls should
be accomplished with hand-operated equipment to prevent the walls from being overloaded by the
higher soil forces that occur during compaction.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Backfill placed behind retaining or foundation walls should be coarse, free-draining,
structural fill containing no organics. This backfill should contain no more than 5 percent silt
or clay particles and have no gravel greater than 4 inches in diameter. The percentage of
particles passing the No. 4 sieve should be between 25 and 70 percent. The near-surface
soils are not free-draining.
The purpose of these backfill requirements is to ensure that the design criteria for a
retaining wall are not exceeded because of a build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the
wall. The top 12 to 18 inches of the backfill should consist of a compacted, relatively
impermeable soil or topsoil, or the surface should be paved. The ground surface must also
slope away from backfilled walls to reduce the potential for surface water to pe-colate into

the backtili. The sub-section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill contair
recommendations regarding the placement and compaction of structural fill behind retaininc
and foundation wails. The above recommendations are not intended to waterproof th�
below-grade walls. If some seepage through the walls or moist conditions are nc�
acceptable, damp-proofing or waterproofing should be provided. This could include limiting
cold-joints and wall penetrations, and possibly using bentonite panels or membranes on th�
outside of the walls. Applying a thin coat of asphalt emulsion is not considere
waterproofing, but it will only help to prevent m���`��•P ^A^Ara'A�' {��m ��-=+a• ��a���

Excavation slopes should not exceed the limits specified in local, state, and nation�
safety regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about 4 feet may be attempted �ertically
unsaturated soil, if there are no indications of slope instability. Based upon Washingtc
Administrative Code (WAC) 296, Part N, the soil type above the groundwater table would t
classified as Type C. Therefore, temporary cut slopes cannot be excavated at an inclinatic
steeper than 1.5:1 (Horizontal:Vertical), extending continuously between the top and the bottom
a cut. Temporary excavations that encounter caving soils or seepage will need to be shored and
may require dewatering.
The above recommended temporary slope inclination is based on what has been successful at
other sites with similar soil conditions. Temporary cuts are those that will remain unsupported for a
relatively short duration to allow for the construction of foundations, retaining walls, or utilities.
Temporary cut slopes should be protected with plastic sheeting during wet weather. The cut slopes
should also be backfilled or retained as soon as possible to reduce the potential for instability.
Please note that loose soil can cave suddenly and without warning. Utility contractors should be
made especially aware of this potential danger.
Drainaae Considerations
We recommend the use of footing drains at the base of footings, where (1) crawl spaces or
basements will be below a structure, (2) a slab is below the outside grade, or {3) the outside grade
does not slope downward from a building. Drains should also be placed at the base of all
backfilled, earth-retaining walls. These drains should be surrounded by at least 6 inches of 1-inch-
minus, washed rock and then wrapped in non-woven, geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, Supac
4NP, or similar material). At its highest point, a perForated pipe invert should be at least as low as
the bottom of the footing, and it should be sloped for drainage. Drainage should also be provided
inside the footprint of a structure, where (1) a crawl space will slope or be lower than the
surrounding ground surface, (2) an excavation encounters significant seepage, or (3) an excavation
for a building will be close to the expected high groundwater elevations. We can provide
recommendations for interior drains, should they become necessary, during excavation and
foundation construction.
All roof and surface water drains must be kept separate from the foundation drain system. A
typical drain detail is attached to this report as Plate 7. For the best long-term performanc�,
perforated PVC pipe is recommended for all subsurface drains.

Groundwater was observed during our field work. If seepage is encountered in an excavation, it
should be drained from the site by directing it through drainage ditches, perfo�ated pipe, or French
drains, or by pumping it from sumps interconnected by shallow connector trenches at the bottom of
the excavation. I
The excavation and site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site and away ,
from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where foundations, ',
slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Final site grading in areas adjacent to buildings should �I
slope away at least 2 percent, except where the area is paved.
Pavement Areas
All pavement sections should be supported over at least 8 inches of imported, yravelly structural fill.
Additional structural fill or fabric may be needed to stabilize soft, wet, or unstable areas. We
recommend using Supac SNP, manufactured by Phillips Petroleum Company, or a non-woven
fabric with equivalent strength and permeability characteristics. In most instances where unstable
subgrade conditions are encountered, 12 inches of granular, structural fill will stabilize the
subgrade, except for very soft areas where additional fill could be required. The subgrade should
be evaluated by Geotech Consultants, Inc., after the site is stripped and cut to grade.
Recommendations for the compaction of structural fill beneath pavements are given in a later sub-
section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill. The performance of site pavements is
directly related to the strength and stability of the underlying subgrade.
The pavement section for lightly-loaded traffic and parking areas should consist of 2 inches of
asphalt concrete (AC) over 4 inches of crushed rock base (CRB) or 3 inches of asphalt-treated
base {ATB). We recommend providing heavily-loaded areas with 3 inches of AC over 6 inches of
CRB or 4 inches of ATB. Heavily-loaded areas are typically main driveways, dumpster sites, or
areas with truck traffic. The City of Renton may have additional requirements for pavement
improvements in city right-of-ways.
The pavement section recommendations and guidelines presented in this report are based on our
experience in the area and on what has been successful in similar situations. Some maintenance
and repair of limited areas can be expected. To provide for a design without the need for any
repair would be uneconomical.
General Earthwork and Structural Fill
All building and pavement areas should be stripped of surface vegetation, topsoil, organic soil, and
other deleterious material. The stripped or removed materials should not be mixed with any
materials to be used as structural fill, but they could be used in non-structural areas, such as
landscape beds.
Structural fill is defined as any fill placed under a building, behind permanent retaining or foundation
walls, or in other areas where the underlying soil needs to support loads. All structural fill should be
placed in horizontal lifts with a moisture content at, or near, the optimum moisture content. The
optimum moisture content is that moisture content that results in the greatest compacted dry
GEOTECH CO�SULTA`TS.ItiC.
Dally Homes JN 97281
August 26, 1997 Page 8
density. The moisture content of fill is very important and must be closely controiled during the
filling and compaction process.
The allowab►e thickness of the fill lift will depend on the material type selected, the compaction
equipment used, and the number of passes made to compact the lift. The loose lift thickness
should not exceed 12 inches. We recommend testing the fill as it is placed. If the fill is not
compacted to specifications, it can be recompacted before another lift is placed. This eliminates
the need to remove the fill to achieve the required compaction. The following table presents
recommended relative compactions for structural fill:
� Minimum
Location of Fill Placement Relative Compaction
Beneath footings, slabs, 95%
or walkways
Behind retaining walls 90%
Beneath pavements 95% for upper 12
inches of subgrade,
90% below that level
Where:
Minimum Relative Compaction is the ratio,
expressed in percentages, of the compacted dry
density to the maximum dry density, as
determined in accordance with ASTM Test
Designation D 1557-78 (Modified Proctor).
LIMITATIONS
The analyses, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this report are based on site
conditions as they existed at the time of our exploration and assume that the soil encountered in
the test borings is representative of subsurface conditions on the site. If the subsurface conditions
encountered during construction are significantly different from those observed in our explorations,
we should be advised at once so that we can review these conditions and reconsider our
recommendations where necessary. Unanticipated soil conditions are commonly encountered on
construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by merely taking soil samples in test borings.
Subsurface conditions can also vary between exploration locations. Such unexpected conditions
frequently require making additional expenditures to attain a properly constructed project. It is
recommended that the owner consider providing a contingency fund to accommodate such
potential extra costs and risks. This is a standard recommendation for all projects.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Dally Homes and its representatives for
specific application to this project and site. Our recommendations and conclusions are based on
observed site materials, and selective laboratory testing and engineering analyses. Our
conclusions and recommendations are professional opinions derived in accordance with current
standards of practice within the scope of our services and within budget and time constraints. No
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS,INC.

warranty is expressed or implied. The scope of our services does not include services related to
construction safety precautions, and our recommendations are not intended to direct the
contractor's methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, except as specifically described in
our report for consideration in design. We recommend including this report, in its entirety, in the
project contract documents so the contractor may be aware of our findings.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
In addition to reviewing the final plans, Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be retained to provide
geotechnical consultation, testing, and observation services during construction. This is to confirm
that subsurface conditions are consistent with those indicated by our exploration, to evaluate
whether earthwork and foundation construction activities comply with the general intent of the
recommendations presented in this report, and to provide suggestions for design changes in the
event subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.
However, our work would not include the supervision or direction of the actual work of the
contractor and its employees or agents. Also, job and site safety, and dimensional measurements,
will be the responsibility of the contractor.
