EXISTING CONDITIONS
Paralleling the Cedar River along the southern boundary of the site exists a concrete block
bulkhead wall. The bulkhead wall is understood to have been constructed sometime in the 1980s
and was initially built to support ongoing concrete trucking and batch plant operations at that time.
The section of bulkhead wall/shoreline studied is an approximate 660-foot section between the
eastern end of the settling ponds to the easternmost extent of the property. Along this section,
the wall height ranges from 9 to 18 feet with the river at the toe of the outboard face of the wall
for most of the length. The wall is constructed of stacked concrete blocks with individual block
dimensions of 3-foot by 3-foot by 6-foot. The blocks are stacked vertical for three to four blocks,
based on observation of the exposed portions of the wall.
A visual characterization of the wall suggests that the material at the toe of the wall is mass
concrete that was apparently wasted along the shoreline of the Cedar River prior to construction
of the wall. The mass concrete is clearly visible from the top of the wall and appears to span the
entire wall length and for at least a depth common with the bottom of the river. The wall appears
to be founded on the mass concrete with base blocks likely embedded in the concrete. The wall
appears to be maintaining a near-vertical to slight batter away from the river. Evidence of wall
distress such as bulging, tilting, or gapping between concrete blocks was not observed at any
portion of the wall which suggests that the wall has not experienced movement since initial
construction.
Materials retained by the wall and foundation materials at the wall base were studied through
subsurface explorations consisting of test pits and soil borings. A total of three test pits and four
soil borings at three areas along the wall alignment were completed to facilitate the stability
analyses. The results of the subsurface explorations are summarized section below. Cross
sections of the wall and retained soils at the three areas studied are presented in the attached
figures at the end of this addendum.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Work performed previously in the vicinity of the bulkhead wall identified that subsurface conditions
generally consisted of loose to dense sandy and gravelly alluvial soils to about 37 ½ feet at which
the soils transition to dense to very dense gravels. A zone of potentially liquefiable soil was
previously identified, but spatially, the liquefaction hazard is not believed to be site-wide. The
initial geotechnical investigation did not explore subsurface conditions along the portion of the
shoreline that is east of the settling ponds; therefore, the current subsurface explorations were
focused on characterizing both materials retained behind the wall and the extent of the
liquefaction hazard, if present.

Explorations performed immediately behind the wall consisted of three test pits up to 9 feet below
the ground surface (bgs) and one shallow soil boring to 15 feet bgs. To investigate the extent of
the liquefaction hazard, three soil borings were advanced to depth of at least 50 feet. The
exploration locations for this study are presented on the exploration site plan attached at the end
of this addendum.
The subsurface conditions observed in the soil borings were generally consistent with those
presented in the geotechnical engineering report. Boring B-3-19 was performed nearest to the
settling ponds and exhibited a zone of potentially liquefiable soils between 22 ½ and 37 ½ feet
bgs. This boring agrees well with boring B-5 performed as part of the initial geotechnical
investigation which also identified liquefiable soils. Borings B-1-19 and B-2-19 suggest that soils
are denser to the east and that a liquefaction hazard is not present for this portion of the site.
Further discussion of liquefaction is presented in a later section. Both B-3-19 and B-5 are in the
general vicinity of the settling ponds; therefore, the liquefaction hazard is assumed to exist only
for the portion of the wall nearest to the settling ponds.
Test pit explorations performed behind the block wall encountered multiple layers of mass concrete
and course granular fill. At test pit locations TP-1-19 and TP-2-19, test pits were refused at 4 and 6
feet, respectively, due to the presence of higher strength mass concrete. Advancement through
shallower layers of mass concrete to the base of the wall was accomplished at TP-3-19; however,
refusal from mass concrete occurred at an elevation consistent with the base of the block wall. It
was observed in this test pit that the concrete blocks comprising the bulkhead wall are placed on a
layer of mass concrete. The thickness of the concrete on which the blocks are stacked is estimated
to be ¾-foot thick at the area investigated near the settling ponds.
The boreholes were observed while drilling for the presence and level of groundwater. The water
levels observed in the boreholes ranged from 10 to 20 feet which is generally consistent with
groundwater information presented previously in the geotechnical engineering report.
LIQUEFACTION
Liquefaction is the phenomenon where saturated soils develop high pore water pressures during
seismic shaking and lose their strength characteristics. This phenomenon generally occurs in
areas of high seismicity, where groundwater is shallow and loose granular soils or relatively non-
plastic fine-grained soils are present. These conditions were observed in soil boring B-3-19 but do
not appear to be present at locations B-1-19 and B-2-19. Previous evaluations of liquefaction
performed at the site were code-based and were performed in support the building design. However,
the section of shoreline studied is sufficiently far from any proposed structures and a risk to life safety
is not readily present. Therefore, use of a code-based seismic design event for liquefaction
evaluation of the existing bulkhead is not applicable as larger, more rare events are assumed. We
believe a more appropriate evaluation is to assess smaller, more frequently occurring earthquakes

to assess if stabilization measures of the shoreline/bulkhead wall system are necessary. Based on
our understanding of other evaluations of existing shorelines performed within King County, we have
assumed a seismic event with a 100-year return period.
Liquefaction triggering was evaluated using WSLiq software developed by Prof. Steven L. Kramer
at the University of Washington (http://faculty.washington.edu/kramer/WSliq/WSliq.htm). Based on
the results of the evaluation, it is most likely that liquefaction will occur between 22 ½ and 37 ½ feet
bgs within the general vicinity of B-3-19. For soils east of this location, liquefaction is not expected to
trigger. Although we estimate up to 6 inches of liquefaction-induced settlement of the ground surface
behind the bulkhead wall, the issue of settlement is more a matter of usability for site operations and
that any inconvenience presented by ground subsidence will be address through regular
maintenance. The zone where liquefaction trigger is expected will be modeled in our stability
evaluations with a reduced shear strength to reflect the liquefied condition.
WALL STABILITY EVALUATIONS
Development of Bulkhead Wall Cross Sections
To support the stability evaluations of the bulkhead wall, three cross sections were developed
based on visual observations of the bulkhead wall and findings from the test pit and soil borings
explorations. Test pits and soil borings were co-located to facilitate development of cross sections
to be used for stability evaluations. General discussion of test pit and soil boring explorations as
well as sampling and field characterization of soils are presented in Appendix A of the
geotechnical engineering report. The explorations performed as part of the bulkhead wall
investigation were performed in general accordance with this discussion.
At all exploration locations, mass concrete was encountered. For the test pits, the presence and
strength of the mass concrete refused advancement attempts of a rather large excavator (CAT
320C). Test pits TP-1-19 and T-2-19 were reattempted at several locations within the general
vicinity of the originally proposed exploration location but advancement was refused by the
presence mass concrete for each attempt. Additionally, advancement of hollow-stem augers were
initially refused in B-1-19 despite several attempts to relocate the boring. To obtain subsurface
data at TP-2-19 and B-1-19, a sonic core rig was mobilized to penetrate the mass concrete. Sonic
coring returns a continues sample of material cored while permitting standard penetration testing
(SPT) in regular 5-foot intervals. Based on the observations of the excavator and drill rig attempts
to fracture and break through the mass concrete, and efforts of the sonic core rig to penetrate the
concrete, it was concluded that the concrete is intact, wide-spread, and of high strength.
The cross sections developed are described below as well as presented graphically in the
attached figures at the end of this addendum.

Soil Parameter Derivation and Global Stability Methodology
An assessment of concrete strength and quality was not performed. Based on observations
during advancement of the subsurface explorations, the mass concrete encountered is
assumed to have a strength and quality no worse than that of lean mix concrete. Fresh lean mix
concrete typically exhibits an unconfined compressive strength of at least 500 psi. To account
for aging of the concrete and the slope stability failure mode being consistent with shear than
compression, we assume reduction factors of 0.5 and 0.1, respectively. Therefore, a shear
strength of 25 psi was applied to the mass concrete.
Strength parameters for the soil units observed were derived from SPT results using published
correlations. For a post-liquefaction scenario, a residual shear strength of the liquefied soils in
section A-A’ assumes the methodology proposed by Olson and Stark 2002 for deriving a post-
liquefaction residual shear strength. The unit weight and strength parameters for each soil unit,
including mass concrete, is presented on the attached figures presented at the end of this
memorandum.
Stability evaluations were performed using Rocscience SLIDE 6.0 software. The method of
analysis for predicting potential slip surfaces used Spencer’s method (1967). Slip surfaces were

limited to those that initiate behind the wall and daylight through the river bed at the toe of the
slope. Internal wall stability will be evaluated by others. The outputs from the slope stability
software are presented at the end of this memorandum.
For each cross section previously presented, slope stability analyses were performed for the
following scenarios for the existing condition of the wall:
■Static – assumes a nominal live-load of 250 psf uniformly distributed along the back of
the wall and a high-water river event, which is assumed to be 5 feet above the height the
stage observed at the time of drilling.
■Seismic – assumes a 100-year return period for the wall/shoreline system and an
average river condition. For the horizontal acceleration, one-half of the peak ground
acceleration is assumed. For all section, the soils are assumed to not liquefy for this
scenario.
■Post-liquefaction – for section A-A’, the soils between 22 ½ and 37 ½ feet bgs are
assumed to liquefy and mobilize a residual shear strength. Triggering of liquefaction is
not expected to occur for sections B-B’ and C-C’.
The analyses performed do not consider scour at the base of the wall. Further assessment of the
wall condition, particularly the extent of mass concrete at the base of the wall, is necessary to
evaluate scour potential. We understand scour is being evaluated by others but have assumed
scour potential will be minimal due to the presence of the mass concrete.
Global Stability Evaluation Results
The results of the slope stability analyses for static, seismic, and post-liquefaction scenarios are
presented in the table below:

1.Factors of safety presented are global minimums and do not consider shallow, surficial failures that may occur
in front of the wall.
2.Horizontal acceleration value of 0.17 was assumed (i.e. PGA of 0.17 for 100-year return period).

Typical minimum target factors of safety for static and seismic stability of existing shorelines are
assumed to be 1.3 and 1.0, respectively. Although a factor of safety less than 1.0 is undesired,
the result does not imply a collapse of the bulkhead wall but rather some movement should be
expected. As observed in the table above, the factor of safeties are greater than 1.0 therefore
only negligible wall movements are expected for a 100-year return period.
In our opinion, the bulkhead wall as currently constructed is not at risk of a global stability
failure. In the event of a larger, more rare-event earthquake, it is likely that some wall
movements will occur. It is recommended that following an earthquake event in excess of a 100-
yr return period, a post-earthquake reconnaissance should be performed to assess any damage
incurred by the wall. To support internal stability evaluations to be performed by a structural
engineer, recommendations for lateral earth pressures and base sliding of the concrete blocks
are providing in the following section.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STUCTURAL EVALUATIONS
Lateral Earth Pressures
The existing bulkhead wall appears to consist of stacked concrete block resting statically on
mass concrete. Materials retained by the bulkhead wall consist of course granular fill and mass
concrete. For static conditions, the strength of the mass concrete is high enough that an earth
pressure is not expected developed on the wall. Therefore, the recommended earth pressures
presented below, are based on granular fill where observed in the explorations behind the wall.
For seismic earth pressures, a uniformly distributed pressure for the full wall height is assumed
to have developed.

height.
4.The approximate bottom 5 feet of the wall height is observed to be mass concrete.

the river bottom.

Concrete Block Sliding
At the depths encountered during the test pit explorations, it was observed that the mass
concrete exhibits a rough surface. This is likely due to placement without control or
screeding/leveling; therefore, the interface friction angle with the base of the concrete blocks will
likely be similar to that of soil. We recommend assuming an ultimate interface coefficient of 0.42
for stability evaluation of block sliding. For interface friction between concrete blocks, a
published value typical for concrete sliding on concrete appears appropriate as the contact
between blocks appears to free of interlocking features.
STABILIZATION ALTERNATIVES
Based on the analyses performed and the assumed earthquake return period of 100-yrs, we
believe the bulkhead wall, in the current condition, is not at risk of a global stability failure.
Pending the findings of the structural evaluation of the bulkhead wall internal stability, the wall
may require a retrofit to provide long-term stability. Potential stabilization solutions include the
following:
■Mechanically stabilized earth wall (MSEW) – an MSEW wall consists of interlayered
geotextile and compacted structural fill to create a composite system capable of being
constructed at vertical slopes. The earth pressure could be alleviated from the concrete
block wall by wrapping the end of soil layers with the geotextile. This form of construction
is common for roadway applications. The concrete block wall would then serve as a
facing to protect the MSEW portion of the wall. The void space between the MSEW and
the concrete blocks could be filled with free-draining granular fill which would also
promote drainage. Design parameters for design of the MSEW can be provided at a later
date should a retrofit solution be deemed necessary.
■Gabion basket wall – this wall type is a form of gravity wall and is common for bridge
abutments and river applications. The wall is constructed by placing quarry-spall sized
rocks in welded-wire baskets and stacking the baskets to the desired height. These
could be installed behind the existing concrete wall to alleviate the earth pressure on the
block wall from the retained soil. The gabion baskets would also promote drainage for
the bulkhead/shoreline system.
Although larger earthquake events may occur in the Puget Sound region, these events are
extremely rare. Should a larger earthquake event occur near the site, Terracon should be
retained to provide a site reconnaissance to review the condition of the wall following the event.
Following the reconnaissance and assessment of the wall, if excessive displacement/damage is
observed Terracon could develop options for repair of the bulkhead.

than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, and silts if they
are slightly plastic or non-plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added
according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse-grained soils are defined on the basis
of their in-place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency.

Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The accuracy of
such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey was conducted
to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographic maps of the
area.
