Master Site Plan Approval Preliminary Geotechnical Report
Renton, Washington
Dear Derek Janke:
This geotechnical engineering report presents information for use in support of the City of Renton
Master Site Plan Approval (MSA) application and Environmental Review (ECF) for the commercial
development and future structures located at the existing Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Shuffleton site in
Renton, Washington. The MSA application and ECF is for the planned development of the existing PSE
site by SECO Development, Inc. (SECO), and renamed “Southport West”. Presented below are our
preliminary geotechnical recommendations for site development.
Purpose and Scope of this Study
The purposes of this study were to assess the Southport West site from a geotechnical perspective in
support of the MSA application and ECF for an aboveground parking structure and six new buildings as
required by the City of Renton’s Department of Community and Economic Development department.
Our scope for this study included the following:
corresponding with the design team;
reviewing historical geotechnical explorations and reports; and
preparation of this report with preliminary geotechnical recommendations and considerations
regarding site development.
We completed this work in general accordance with our contract dated December 15, 2021. This report
is for the exclusive use of SECO Development and their design consultants for specific application to the
site, MSA application, and ECF. We completed the work according to generally accepted geotechnical
practices in the same or similar localities, related to the nature of the work accomplished, at the time
the services were accomplished. We make no warranty, express or implied.

Project Understanding
The site is generally about 1,000 feet south of the southern edge of Lake Washington, in Renton,
Washington, south of the existing Southport Hotel and Office developments. Existing site survey
provided by ZGF Architects, dated November 30, 2021, is provided in Attachment 1.
We understand that projects included in the MSA application and ECF consist of an aboveground parking
structure attached to four new office towers, a fifth office tower in the southwest corner of the site, and
a residential tower in the southeast corner of the site. The parking structure and all office towers are
planned to be approximately 6 and 9 levels, respectively, and the residential tower is planned to be 8
levels. The proposed footprint and location of each of these buildings is illustrated in Attachment 2.
The MSA and ECF are used to approve future-use plans of the Southport West Office Expansion. We are
not making final geotechnical design recommendations for any specific infrastructure, but rather
assessing the commercial and residential development site for general subsurface conditions and
reporting selected geotechnical considerations for the permitting, preliminary design, and cost
estimating. A full geotechnical engineering design study is required as part of final design.
Generalized Subsurface Conditions
Our understanding of the subsurface conditions that may be encountered at the Southport West site is
based on a series of previous explorations and laboratory testing programs performed by Hart Crowser
and others at adjacent sites. Historical exploration logs and laboratory test results are provided in
Appendix A. Over 35 explorations were completed on the surrounding sites, including the Southport
Hotel, Office, Park Avenue Extension, and Bristol One and Bristol Two, and adjacent Boeing building site
developments, to depths generally between 70 and 130 feet. Generally, the soil units consist of a loose
to medium dense sand with interbedded silt layers, underlain by soft to medium dense silt, then
medium dense to dense sand, very soft silt and clay, and finally dense to very dense silty sand. The
medium dense to dense sand could be considered a bearing unit for deep foundations.
SOIL CONDITIONS
The sequence of soils generally encountered in the historical explorations surrounding the area of the
proposed development site, starting at the ground surface and moving downward, consist of the
following soils:
Very loose to medium dense, silty Sand. We observed this layer in the historical explorations
extending from the existing grade to a depth of about 20 to 50 feet below the existing ground
surface. Sand was primarily observed in this layer with only a few thin interbedded layers of soft
silt. This sand layer likely has the potential to liquefy during a significant seismic event. Loose
sand layers with varying fines content generally do not provide adequate foundation support in
its current condition.
Soft to medium stiff and stiff Silt and Clay. This layer was observed in most of the historical
explorations with thicknesses varying from 0 to about 35 feet thick and is also likely unsuitable
for foundation support.
Medium dense to dense, slightly silty Sand. This sand layer was observed in a majority of the
historical borings and ranged in thickness from about 10 to 45 feet. Medium dense to dense
sand is generally considered a suitable bearing unit for deep foundations.
3
Very soft to medium stiff and stiff Silt and Clay. This layer was observed in several explorations
closer to Lake Washington, north of the Southport West site. We observed this layer in one
exploration out of the seven explorations directly adjacent to the northern edge of the site, with
a thickness of about 5 feet. Soft, compressible silt and clay layers are likely to cause elastic
and/or consolidation (time-dependent) settlement of deep foundations.
Dense to very dense, slightly silty Sand. This layer was observed in the historical explorations
approximately 75 to 95 feet below existing grade, closest to the site. This dense sand layer
becomes deeper further north from the site. Medium dense to dense sand is generally
considered a suitable bearing unit for deep foundations.
Note that the depth to, and thickness of, the soil layers listed above varies across the historical
explorations, indicating the likelihood of variable stratigraphy at this site. Additional explorations will be
required within the footing of the buildings to provide final geotechnical design recommendations.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was observed in the historical explorations at Southport at depths ranging from 3 to 10
feet below existing grade. Note that the groundwater levels were identified at the time of the
explorations, and that the groundwater elevation will generally be tied primarily to the level of Lake
Washington, which varies by only about 3 feet annually. The groundwater gradient is from south or
southeast to north or northeast, as groundwater flows from the upland areas toward the lake.
Environmental Review Considerations
The City of Renton requires a geotechnical study for the ECF submittal addressing considerations for
slope stability and setbacks, foundation design, retaining wall design, material selection, and all other
pertinent elements. The project site for the proposed development is relatively flat with no existing
steep slopes; therefore, we do not anticipate the need for slope setback recommendations or slope
stability analyses to be performed for the final design phase. General site grading recommendations are
provided in the Site Drainage section of this report. Other elements required for the ECF submittal are
addressed in subsequent sections of this report.
Geotechnical Engineering Design Considerations
This section of the report presents our considerations for the geotechnical aspects of design and
construction on the project site. In this section, we make preliminary geotechnical engineering
recommendations with the understanding that more analyses will need to be performed to finalize
these recommendations. We have developed our recommendations based on our current
understanding of the project and the subsurface conditions encountered in historical explorations by us
and others. The recommendations we give in this section should be used for preliminary engineering
and cost estimating purposes only. If the nature or location of the development is different than we
have assumed, we should be notified so we can change or confirm our recommendations.
SEISMIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The site is located in a seismically active area. In this section, we describe the seismic setting at the project
site and discuss the possibility of liquefaction and its effects.
4
We understand that the proposed buildings onsite will have a period more than 0.5 seconds, which will
require a site-specific hazard analysis per the 2018 International Building Code to determine the site’s
seismic hazard. As such, a code-based seismic design spectra is not available for design. However, based on
the Chapter 21 ASCE 7-16 site class coefficients used to establish the minimum bounding spectrum for the
site-specific hazard analysis, we anticipate that the design coefficients may be on the order of:
SDS ≈ 0.9
SD1 ≈ 1.4
We will determine the hazard level of the site during the final design phase of the project using a site-
specific hazard analysis.
Based on data from historical explorations at adjacent Southport sites, we expect that there is significant
risk of liquefaction of the soils at the Southport West project site during a significant seismic event.
Widespread liquefaction could result in ground surface settlement both below the proposed buildings
and in the access areas around the buildings. Given the settlement-prone nature of the soils on the
adjacent sites, even if ground improvement techniques are used, we recommend that underslab utilities
be hung from the slab and/or grade beams rather than grade-supported. Exterior pavements, walkways,
utilities, and grade-supported structures are subject to distress from liquefaction and may not function
after a major seismic event. Foundation piles for the buildings (if used) should be largely unaffected,
except that they may potentially not be designed for lateral resistance or frictional support in the
liquefaction zone and may need to be designed for significant liquefaction induced downdrag loads.
Potential methods of ground improvement at the site include aggregate piers (stone columns),
earthquake drains, and soil cement mixing such as jet grout. It’s possible that deep foundations may be
used in lieu of ground improvement.
FOUNDATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the size of the proposed structures, we anticipate that deep foundations will be used as the
primary building foundation type on the site. Alternative foundation types will be evaluated as
additional subsurface information is collected, some of which may include shallow foundations on
ground improvement.
Pile Foundation Design
For final design, we anticipate recommending using driven piles at the site for two reasons: (1) it is
easier to identify the sometimes irregular bearing layer if the piles are driven rather than drilled, and (2)
the driving process will increase the soil density and reduce the potential for liquefaction. Pile lengths
will likely vary across the site, depending on the depth to the bearing layer identified in future site
explorations. Note, that the installation of some types of ground improvement will likely result in an
increase in pile resistance. With ground improvement, the loss of friction and downdrag from
liquefaction could be minimal.
Recommended pile capacities will be provided in the final design phase of the project.
5
Soils below the bearing layer are loose in many areas. In addition, a compressible soil zone exists at
depths of about 100 to 120 feet in some locations, as disclosed by several of the historical explorations.
We anticipate that piles could experience an initial compression as the building loads are applied. Over
several months following construction, additional deep-seated soil consolidation and building
settlement could occur. We do not expect this consolidation to result in abrupt differential settlement,
but portions of the structure built at different times could experience differential settlement.
Lateral Pile Capacity
Lateral resistance and deflections of vertical pile foundations are often governed by the lateral capacity
of near-surface soils and the strength of the pile itself. The design lateral capacity of the vertical piles
will depend, to a large extent, on the allowable lateral deflections of the piles. Note, however, that if no
ground improvement is completed, under severe seismic loading the piles will experience minimal
lateral resistance in the zone of liquefaction.
Lateral pile recommendations will be provided as part of the final geotechnical report as design
progresses and explorations are completed within the building footprints.
Floor Slabs
Geotechnical recommendations for floor slabs will be dependent on the foundations system and
included as part of final design.
BELOW-GRADE WALLS AND FILL
Walls backfilled on one side only will need to be designed using soil pressures estimated using
equivalent fluid weights for the soil at the planned location. Walls with soil backfilled on one side will
require drainage or must be designed to withstand full hydrostatic pressure. We will provide earth
pressure diagrams during the final design phase. We generally recommend the following for fill behind
walls.
Backfill with a minimum thickness of 18 inches of well-graded, free-draining sand (less than
3 percent fines based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction) or sand and gravel.
Install drains behind any backfilled subgrade walls. Drains with cleanouts should incorporate a
minimum 4-inch-diameter perforated pipe surrounded by at least 6 inches of well-graded,
free-draining sand (less than 3 percent fines based on minus 3/4-inch fraction), or sand and
gravel. The drains should be sloped to carry the water to a sump or other suitable discharge.
The backfill should be continuous and should envelop the drainage behind the wall.
Structural Fill. We anticipate that structural fill will be required for backfilling behind walls, for
backfilling of utility trenches and other miscellaneous excavations, and possibly for replacement of
overexcavated, soft or wet soils. The following are typical recommendations we make regarding
placement of structural fill.
Generally, the structural fill should consist of clean, well-graded sand or sand and gravel to allow
placement and compaction under wet conditions. Compaction to 95 percent of the modified
Proctor maximum dry density is required in bearing areas. Beneath structural slabs, the fill
needs only be compact enough to support the curing slab. Lower compaction levels are
acceptable in non-bearing and landscaped areas.
6
Place structural fill in maximum 10-inch-thick loose lifts and compact it to a firm condition to
support concrete placement as observed and verified by a Haley & Aldrich field representative.
The moisture content of the fill should be controlled within 2 percent of the optimum moisture.
Optimum moisture is the moisture content corresponding to the maximum Proctor dry density.
If a select soil will be imported for use as structural fill, we recommend using a clean, well
graded sand or sand and gravel with less than 5 percent by weight passing the U.S. No. 200
mesh sieve (based on the minus 3/4-inch fraction). If imported soil is used during wet weather
periods, we recommend a gravel content (material coarser than a U.S. No. 4 sieve) of at least 30
percent.
If small, hand-operated compaction equipment is used to compact structural backfill, fill lifts
should not exceed 8 inches of loose thickness.
Any import material to be used as structural fill should be sampled from the supplier's pit prior
to delivery or use on site, to determine the maximum dry density, gradation, and optimum
moisture content.
Use of On-Site Soil as Structural Fill. The suitability of excavated site soils for use as compacted
structural fill depends on the gradation and moisture content of the soil when it is placed. As the
amount of fines (the portion passing the No. 200 sieve) increases, the soil becomes increasingly sensitive
to small changes in moisture content and adequate compaction becomes more difficult to achieve. Soil
containing more than about 5 percent fines cannot be consistently compacted to a dense non-yielding
condition when the water content is greater than about 2 percent above or below optimum. Reusable
soil must also be free of organic and other compressible material.
Topsoil. We recommend that the surficial layer of topsoil, if present onsite, not be used as structural fill.
Topsoil contains significantly more than 5 percent fines, and, therefore, is moisture-sensitive during
periods of wet weather. In addition, this material contains organic matter that could lead to long-term
settlement as the organic matter breaks down over time. Surficial topsoil or other native soil may be
used in landscaped areas if it can be compacted to a reasonable degree with construction equipment.
Existing Onsite Fill and Surficial Soils. Any existing onsite fill should be evaluated for its fines content to
determine suitability for use as structural fill. Fill soils with a fines content that is great enough to make
it moisture-sensitive when wet will make it more difficult to use during periods of wet weather, or if the
material is wet. Earthwork operations would need to be scheduled during periods of dry weather to
keep the material’s moisture content near its optimum level.
ADJACENT SITE SETTLEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
We understand the southern boundary of the site approximately parallels the Burlington Northern Santa
Fe (BNSF) railroad right-of-way and their railway embankment. Fill placement and any site activity
causing vibrations will need to be considered to mitigate settlement of the adjacent railway
embankment. We understand the portion of the site along the southern boundary is currently at a lower
elevation than the northern portion of the site. Based on discussions with Coughlin Porter Lundeen
(CPL), the site civil designer, fill will need to be placed along the southern portion of the site to be
brought up to the same grade as the northern portion. Based on past settlement observed on adjacent
sites, we anticipate that fill placement will likely cause settlement to occur, possibly affecting the
adjacent BNSF railway. We recommend performing a settlement analysis with the final design to
7
evaluate the possible effects on this site and the adjacent site. To reduce settlement, we recommend
offsetting the backfill away from the adjacent railway embankment or using lightweight fill, which will
be evaluated during final design.
Vibration induced settlements due to pile driving or other site activity will also need to be considered
and evaluated during final design to reduce the risk of adjacent site settlement. The effects of ground
vibrations on adjacent sites are dependent on the distance from the vibration source and the subsurface
conditions, and will need to be evaluated during final design. If driven piles are used for the building
foundation systems, we recommend vibration monitoring of the adjacent railway embankment during
pile driving.
Geotechnical Recommendations Supporting Civil Design
UTILITY SETTLEMENT AND CONSTRUCTABILITY
Utilities have the potential to settle with the surface of the fill, if there is deep-seated settlement in
deeper soft, compressible soil layers onsite. If the fill is placed first and the utilities after, some of the
utility settlement will be eliminated. Utility connections should be as flexible as possible, and utility
grades and slopes should be adjusted, as appropriate, to adapt to the expected settlement.
Below the groundwater table, estimated to be between 3 to 10 feet below the current site grade, the
ability to dewater sufficiently to allow for a stable trench and workable conditions is uncertain. Our
experience at the hotel and office sites suggest that the groundwater can be controlled using well points
or wells, plus sheet pile cutoff walls. However, dewatering of the site may result in drawdown of the
groundwater on adjacent sites, and drawdown induced settlement should be evaluated for any active
dewatering system. If this is the case, then a traditional trench box to support utility excavations,
combined with area dewatering, could be cost-effective and efficient. If the water cannot be controlled,
more costly alternatives such as ground freezing may need to be considered.
In either case, the pipe bedding and backfill should consist of high-quality sand and gravel with a low
fines content if the work is to be completed in wet conditions. A well-graded sand and gravel can even
be placed with some water in the excavation. If the bottom of the excavation is in soft silt, which the
explorations indicate is possible, a separation fabric should be used to line the pipe trench and keep the
clean bedding and backfill from becoming contaminated with fine-grained soil.
UNDERSLAB DRAINAGE FOR BUILDINGS
Geotechnical recommendations for floor slabs will be dependent on the foundations system and
included as part of final design.
SITE DRAINAGE
Final grades should be sloped to carry surface water runoff away from structures to prevent water from
infiltrating near the foundation walls. Roof drainage and new surface water drainage should not be tied
into any onsite building subdrain system and should not discharge onto the site.
8
UTILITIES
If there are soft compressible soils present onsite, utilities placed under areas of raised grade may settle
along with any placement of new fill. In areas where the grade will be raised above the current ground
surface, we recommend installing utilities after placing the backfill to reduce the amount of utility
settlement. In general, areas of improved ground settle less than areas without ground improvement.
Utility connections should be as flexible as possible, and utility grades and slopes should be adjusted, as
appropriate, to adapt to the likely onsite settlement.
For shallow utilities, we anticipate that open-cut trenches and/or trench boxes could be used for utility
trench excavations. Note that unshored cuts deeper than 4 feet will need to be sloped; cuts shallower
than 4 feet do not require sloping. During wet weather excavation, the slopes should be protected from
sloughing and erosion. The contractor should be made responsible for the stability of all temporary
excavation, ground settlement and associated damage to nearby structures, and worker safety. As
noted previously, excavations deeper than 3 to 5 feet could encounter groundwater.
Depending on the precise location of utilities, deleterious material such as concrete, wood, stumps, and
other debris may be encountered. We anticipate that the majority of the utility excavations could be
completed with conventional earthwork equipment. In addition, excavations must conform to federal,
state, and local safety regulations.
Bedding and trench backfill installation and compaction should at least meet minimum requirements
per the City of Renton standard specifications and details. Our general recommendations for bedding
and trench backfill materials are presented below. The minimum percent compaction recommended
below is a percentage of the modified Proctor maximum dry density as determined by the ASTM D1557
test procedure.
Generally, a minimum of 6 inches of pipe zone bedding material should be used at the base of
all utility pipe trenches. Bedding materials typically consist of well-graded sand and gravel with
less than 3 percent material passing the No. 200 sieve (based on the minus 5/8-inch fraction).
The bedding material should be compacted to at least 95 percent.
The recommended pipe zone bedding backfill materials should be used as backfill around the
pipe utilities (pipe zone backfill) and should extend up to the top of the utility trench. Bedding
material should be compacted using care not to damage the utility pipes.
Based on past experience at the adjacent Park Avenue Extension site, at least 6 inches of pipe
zone bedding material that consists of well-graded sand and gravel with less than 3 percent
passing the No. 200 sieve (based on the minus 5/8-inch fraction) should be used for bedding
material beneath catch basins and manholes. The bedding material should be compacted to at
least 95 percent.
If the bottom of the excavation is in soft silt, which the explorations indicate is possible, a
separation fabric should be used to line the pipe trench and keep the clean bedding and backfill
from becoming contaminated with fine-grained soil.
Compaction Equipment
Generally, we recommend using hand-operated compaction equipment within 12 inches of any pipe,
catch basin, or similar structure to reduce the risk of damage. More than 12 inches on either side pipes
9
and structures, it is common to use a vibratory plate compactor attached to a backhoe or excavator, or
use of a self-propelled roller.
The contractor should be responsible for selecting appropriate compaction equipment and adjusting the
lift thickness and moisture content of the backfill as needed for adequate compaction and to avoid
damage to the pipe. In general, heavy mechanical compaction equipment should not be allowed over
utility pipes until the backfill is at least 2 feet above the top of the pipe.
PAVEMENT SUPPORT
Generally, haul roads should consist of quarry spalls, crushed rock, or crushed rock with an asphalt
treated base (ATB) surface. The contractor typically has some control over this decision, since the nature
of the ground, traffic loading, weather conditions, and other non-design factors will affect the subgrade
needs.
For the permanent at-grade roadways and access drives, we recommend that the upper 2 feet of fill or
natural ground be well-compacted (to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry
density), firm, and non-yielding. The pavement sections should at least meet minimum requirements per
the City of Renton standard specifications and details for roadways and approaches. We expect that the
roadways will undergo some widespread settlement over time in the high fill areas, but abrupt
differences in settlement are less likely.
EXCAVATION GROUNDWATER CONTROL
In general, shallow excavation for construction of pile caps or footings will likely not require a detailed
dewatering plan. Reasonably dry conditions should be able to be maintained by pumping from one or
two sumps located within each excavation. The excavation side walls should be protected from
sloughing by using steel sheets or similar protection. If excavation depths exceed about 7 feet below
existing grade, the anticipated depth to the groundwater table onsite, then a comprehensive dewatering
plan may be required.
An alternative method would be to install a number of separate sumps just outside the excavation
footprints to lower the groundwater table over a wider area than just one pile cap. A 12-inch slotted
plastic casing or culvert pipe placed about 2 feet below the bottom of excavation and backfilled on the
outside with pea gravel would serve as the sump.
Deeper excavation will most likely require an active dewatering system using drilled wells or well points.
We would expect to pump significant quantities of groundwater below depths of about 7 to 10 feet, and
excavations of this depth should be conducted with great care to avoid sudden collapses of side walls
and loss of soil integrity in the base. Note that at the nearby hotel site a series of dewatering wells and a
sheet pile cutoff wall were used to construct a foundation mat 9 feet deep.
Recommendations for Continuing Geotechnical Services
Throughout this report, we recommend that we provide additional geotechnical input during the design
and construction process. In addition, we recommend that Haley & Aldrich:
Continue to meet with the design team periodically as design concepts and design documents
progress;
10
Perform additional soil explorations to support final design;
Prepare a final geotechnical design report with more detailed recommendations;
Review the final design plans to verify that the geotechnical engineering recommendations have
been properly interpreted and implemented into the design.

Dissipation Tests Results
Dissipation tests consists of stopping the piezocone penetration and observing porepressures (u) with elapsed time (t).
The data are automatic recorded by the field computer and should take place until a minimum of 50% dissipation.
The porepressures are plotted as a function of square root of (t). The graphical technique suggested by Robertson and
Campanella (1989), yields a value for t50, which corresponds to the time for 50% consolidation.
The value of the coefficient of consolidation in the radial or horizontal direction ch was then calculated by Houlsby and
Teh's (1988) theory using the following equation:
50
5.0
r
2
h t
IrTc××=
where:
T: time factor given by Houlsby and Teh's (1988) theory corresponding to the porepressure position
r: piezocone radius
Ir: stiffness index, equal to shear modulus G divided by the undrained strength of clay (Su).
t50: time corresponding to 50% consolidation
Dissipation tests
Permeability estimates based on dissipation test
The dissipation of pore pressures during a CPTu dissipation test is controlled by the coefficient of consolidation in the
horizontal direction (ch) which is influenced by a combination of the soil permeability (kh) and compressibility (M), as
defined by the following:
/Mckwhh×=
where: M is the 1-D constrained modulus and w is the unit weight of water, in compatible units.

Dissipation Tests Results
Dissipation tests consists of stopping the piezocone penetration and observing porepressures (u) with elapsed time (t).
The data are automatic recorded by the field computer and should take place until a minimum of 50% dissipation.
The porepressures are plotted as a function of square root of (t). The graphical technique suggested by Robertson and
Campanella (1989), yields a value for t50, which corresponds to the time for 50% consolidation.
The value of the coefficient of consolidation in the radial or horizontal direction ch was then calculated by Houlsby and
Teh's (1988) theory using the following equation:
50
5.0
r
2
h t
IrTc××=
where:
T: time factor given by Houlsby and Teh's (1988) theory corresponding to the porepressure position
r: piezocone radius
Ir: stiffness index, equal to shear modulus G divided by the undrained strength of clay (Su).
t50: time corresponding to 50% consolidation
Dissipation tests
Permeability estimates based on dissipation test
The dissipation of pore pressures during a CPTu dissipation test is controlled by the coefficient of consolidation in the
horizontal direction (ch) which is influenced by a combination of the soil permeability (kh) and compressibility (M), as
defined by the following:
/Mckwhh×=
where: M is the 1-D constrained modulus and w is the unit weight of water, in compatible units.

Dissipation Tests Results
Dissipation tests consists of stopping the piezocone penetration and observing porepressures (u) with elapsed time (t).
The data are automatic recorded by the field computer and should take place until a minimum of 50% dissipation.
The porepressures are plotted as a function of square root of (t). The graphical technique suggested by Robertson and
Campanella (1989), yields a value for t50, which corresponds to the time for 50% consolidation.
The value of the coefficient of consolidation in the radial or horizontal direction ch was then calculated by Houlsby and
Teh's (1988) theory using the following equation:
50
5.0
r
2
h t
IrTc××=
where:
T: time factor given by Houlsby and Teh's (1988) theory corresponding to the porepressure position
r: piezocone radius
Ir: stiffness index, equal to shear modulus G divided by the undrained strength of clay (Su).
t50: time corresponding to 50% consolidation
Dissipation tests
Permeability estimates based on dissipation test
The dissipation of pore pressures during a CPTu dissipation test is controlled by the coefficient of consolidation in the
horizontal direction (ch) which is influenced by a combination of the soil permeability (kh) and compressibility (M), as
defined by the following:
/Mckwhh×=
where: M is the 1-D constrained modulus and w is the unit weight of water, in compatible units.

Dissipation Tests Results
Dissipation tests consists of stopping the piezocone penetration and observing porepressures (u) with elapsed time (t).
The data are automatic recorded by the field computer and should take place until a minimum of 50% dissipation.
The porepressures are plotted as a function of square root of (t). The graphical technique suggested by Robertson and
Campanella (1989), yields a value for t50, which corresponds to the time for 50% consolidation.
The value of the coefficient of consolidation in the radial or horizontal direction ch was then calculated by Houlsby and
Teh's (1988) theory using the following equation:
50
5.0
r
2
h t
IrTc××=
where:
T: time factor given by Houlsby and Teh's (1988) theory corresponding to the porepressure position
r: piezocone radius
Ir: stiffness index, equal to shear modulus G divided by the undrained strength of clay (Su).
t50: time corresponding to 50% consolidation
Dissipation tests
Permeability estimates based on dissipation test
The dissipation of pore pressures during a CPTu dissipation test is controlled by the coefficient of consolidation in the
horizontal direction (ch) which is influenced by a combination of the soil permeability (kh) and compressibility (M), as
defined by the following:
/Mckwhh×=
where: M is the 1-D constrained modulus and w is the unit weight of water, in compatible units.

Sample Descriptions
Classification of soils in this report is based on vi sual field and laboratory observati ons which include density/consistency, moisture condi tion. grain size. and plasticity estimates
and should not be construed to imply field nor laboratory testing unless presented herein. Visual-manual classification methods of ASTM D 2488 were used as an identification guide.
Soil descriptions consist of the following: Density /consistency, moisture. color. minor constituents. MAJOR CONSTITUENT. addi t i onal remarks .
Density/Consistency
Soil density/consistency in borings is related primarily to the Standard Penetration Resistance. Soil density/consistency in test pits is estimated based on visual observation and is presented parenthetically on the test pit logs.

APPENDIX B
LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
A laboratory testing program was performed for this study to evaluate the
basic index and geotechnical engineering properties of the site soils.
Laboratory tests were performed on disturbed samples. The laboratory tests
performed and the procedures followed are outlined below.
Soil Classification
Soil samples recovered in the explorations were visually classified in the
field and then taken to our laboratory where the classifications were
verified in a relatively controlled environment. Visual-manual field and
laboratory observations include density/consistency, moisture condition,
grain size and plasticity estimates.
The classifications of selected samples were checked by performing
laboratory tests such as Atterberg limits determinations and grain size
analyses. Classifications were made in general accordance with the Unified
Soil Classification (USC) System, ASTM D 2487, as presented on Figure B-1 .
Water Content Determinations
Water contents were determined in general accordance with ASTM D 2216 for
most samples recovered in the explorations as soon as possible following
their arrival in our laboratory. Water contents were not determined for
very small samples nor samples where large gravel contents would result in
values considered unrepresentative. The results of these tests are plotted
at the respective sample depth on the exploration logs. In addition, the
water contents of samples subjected to other testing have been determined
J-1945
Page B-2
and are presented on the exploration logs as well as with the various test
results which follow in this appendix.
Atterberg Limits (AL)
Atterberg limits determinations were accomplished for selected fine-grained
soil samples. The liquid limit and plastic limit were determined in
general accordance with ASTM D 423 and ASTM D 424, respectively. The
results of the Atterberg limits analyses and the plasticity characteristics
are summarized on the Plasticity Chart, Figures B-2 and B-3, which relates
the plasticity index (liquid limit minus the plastic limit) to the liquid
limit. The results of the Atterberg limits tests are shown graphically on
the boring logs.
Grain Size Analysis (GS)
Grain size analyses were performed on representative samples in general
accordance with ASTM D 422. The wet sieve analysis method was used for
most samples and determines the size distribution greater than the U.S. No.
200 mesh sieve. The results of the tests are presented as curves on Figure
B-4 plotting percent finer by weight versus grain size.
