RE: GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION -Proposed Warehouse
Building Development -Located North of Slover Avenue at Business
Drive, in the City of Fontana, California
Dear Mr. Neuhoff:
Pursuant to your request, this firm has performed this Geotechnical Investigation
for the above referenced project. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate
the geotechnical conditions of subject property and to provide recommendations
for the proposed development. This geotechnical engineering report presents
the findings of our study along with conclusions and recommendations for
development.
1.0 STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
1 . 1 Proposed Development
It is currently proposed to construct two new warehouse buildings totaling
362,8700 square feet on the 18.6 acres of land. Asphaltic and concrete
pavement areas and landscaping will also be installed. Grading for the
development is expected to include minor cut and fill procedures. Final
building plans shall be reviewed by this firm prior to submittal for city
approval to determine the need for any additional study and revised
recommendations pertinent to the proposed development, if necessary.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
Project Number 22373-21
2.1 Location: The property is located north of the intersection of Slover
Avenue and Business Drive, in the City of Fontana, as shown on the Vicinity
Map, Figure 1. A railroad easement borders along the north.
2.2 Existing Improvements: The site is occupied by metal industrial buildings
and small office buildings located on the eastern portion of the site. The
remainder of the site contains stored equipment and vehicles. Several steel
columns with foundations extend to the west of the large metal building at
the northeast corner of the site. Scattered columns with concrete
foundations were noted throughout the site. The remainder of the site is
covered with asphaltic and concrete pavement along with unpaved areas.
2.3 Drainage: The site topography is generally flat and drainage appears to be
via sheetflow toward the south.
3.0 SEISMICITY EVALUATION
The proposed development lies outside of any Alquist Priolo Special Studies
Zone and the potential for damage due to direct fault rupture is considered
unlikely.
The following seismic design parameters are provided and are in
accordance with the 2019 California Building Code (CBC) as determined
using the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool (https:{/asce7hazardtool.online/) for the
referenced project. Design map report from the website is included in

Use of these values is dependent on requirements of ASCE 7-16, 11-4.8,
Exception 2 that requires the value of the seismic response coefficient Cs be
determined by Equation 12.8.2 for values of T~ 1.5Ts and taken as equal to
1.5 times the value computed in accordance with either 12.8-3 for
TL~T~1.5Ts or Equation 12.8-4 for T>TL. Computations and verification of
these conditions is referred to the structural engineer.
The Cucamonga Fault zone is located approximately 13 kilometers from the
site and is capable of producing a Magnitude 7 earthquake and PGAM of
0.804g. Ground shaking originating from earthquakes along other active
faults in the region is expected to induce lower horizontal accelerations due
to smaller anticipated earthquakes and/or greater distances to other faults.
4.0 LIQUEFACTION EVALUATION
Based upon review of the San Bernardino County -Land Use Services,
Geologic Hazard Maps website
(http://cms.sbcounty.gov/lus/Planning/ZoningOverlayMaps/GeologicHazard
Maps.aspx), Map FH29C, the site is not located in an area subject to
liquefaction during a seismic event. In addition, due to the deep
groundwater in the vicinity, liquefaction potential is considered very low.

5.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION
5.1 Site Exploration
Project Number 22373-21
The investigation consisted of the placement of twenty (20) subsurface
exploratory borings by hollow-stem auger drill rig. Explorations extended to
a maximum depth of 21 feet below current ground elevations and were
placed at accessible locations throughout the site. Existing improvements
and operations limited the placement of our borings.
The explorations were visually classified and logged by a field engineer with
locations of the borings shown on the attached Figure 2. Detailed
descriptions of the subsurface conditions are listed on the logs in Appendix
B. It should be noted that the transition from one soil type to another as
shown on the boring logs is approximate and may in fact be a gradual
transition. The soils encountered are described as follows:
Fill Soils-Fill soils classifying as silty SAND with some gravel, small
cobbles, asphalt and concrete pieces were encountered in the
explorations to depths ranging from 1 to 4.5 feet. These soils were
noted to be medium dense and damp.
Native Soils -Native soils classifying as silty SAND with some gravel
and occasional small cobbles were encountered beneath the upper fill
soils. These soils were noted to be generally medium dense and damp.
5.2 Groundwater
Groundwater was not encountered in any of our test excavations. Historic
high groundwater in the vicinity has been recorded greater than 100 feet
below grade at nearby wells, as given on the California Department of
Water Resources database http://www.water.ca.gov/waterdatalibrary/.

6.0 LABORATORY TESTS
Project Number 22373-21
Relatively undisturbed samples of the subsurface soils were obtained to
perform laboratory testing and analysis for direct shear, consolidation tests,
and to determine in-place moisture/densities. These relatively undisturbed
ring samples were obtained by driving a thin-walled steel sampler lined with
one-inch-long brass rings with an inside diameter of 2.42 inches into the
undisturbed soils.
Bulk bag samples were obtained in the upper soils for expansion index
tests, corrosion tests, resistance value and maximum density tests. Wall
loadings on the order of 4,000 lbs./lin.ft. and maximum compression loads
on the order of 100 kips were utilized for testing and design purposes. All
test results are included in Appendix C, unless otherwise noted.
6.1 Field moisture content (ASTM:D 2216-10) and the dry density of the ring
samples were determined in the laboratory. This data is listed on the logs of
explorations.
6.2 Maximum density tests (ASTM: D-1557-12) were performed on typical
samples of the upper soils. Results of these tests are shown on Table I.
6.3 Expansion index tests (ASTM: D-4829-11) were performed on remolded
samples of the upper soils to determine the expansive characteristics and to
provide any necessary recommendations for reinforcement of the slabs-on-
grade and the foundations. Results of these tests are provided on Table II
and are discussed later in this report.
6.4 Direct shear tests (ASTM: D-3080-11) were performed on undisturbed and
remolded samples of the subsurface soils. These tests were performed to
determine parameters for the calculation of the allowable soil bearing
capacity. The test is performed under saturated conditions at loads of 1,000
lbs./sq.ft., 2,000 lbs./sq.ft., and 3,000 lbs./sq.ft. with results shown on Plates
A-C.

Project Number 22373-21
6.5 Consolidation tests (ASTM: D-2435-11) were performed on remolded
samples to determine the differential and total settlement which may be
anticipated based upon the proposed loads. Water was added to the
samples at a surcharge of one KSF and the settlement curves are plotted
on Plates D-F.
6.6 Soluble sulfate, pH, Resistivity and Chloride tests to determine potential
corrosive effects of soils on concrete and metal structures were performed
in the laboratory. Test results are given in Tables Ill -VI and are discussed
later in this report.
6.7 Resistance 'R' Value tests (CA 301) were conducted on a representative
soil sample to determine preliminary pavement section design for the
proposed pavement areas. Test results are provided in Table VII and
recommended pavement sections are provided later within the text of this
report.
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon our evaluations, the proposed development is acceptable from
a geotechnical engineering standpoint. By following the recommendations
and guidelines set forth in our report, the structures and grading will be safe
from excessive settlements under the anticipated design loadings and
conditions. The proposed grading and development shall meet all
requirements of the City Building Ordinance and will not impose any
adverse effect on existing adjacent land or structures.
The following recommendations are based upon soil conditions encountered
in our field investigation; these near-surface soil conditions could vary
across the site. Variations in the soil conditions may not become evident
until the commencement of grading operations for the proposed
development and revised recommendations from the soils engineer may be
necessary based upon the conditions encountered.

7.1 Site Grading Recommendations
It is recommended that site inspections be performed by a representative of
this firm during all grading and construction of the development to verify the
findings and recommendations documented in this report. Any unusual
conditions which may be encountered in the course of the project
development may require the need for additional study and revised
recommendations.
Any vegetation and organic-laden soils shall be removed and hauled from
proposed grading areas prior to and during the grading operations if
encountered. Existing vegetation shall not be mixed or disced into the soils.
Any removed soils may be reutilized as compacted fill once any deleterious
material or oversized materials (in excess of eight inches) is removed.
Grading operations shall be performed in accordance with the attached
Specifications for Placement of Compacted Fill.
7. 1.1 Removal and Recompaction Recommendations
The upper existing fill soils (1 to 4.5 feet) shall be removed to competent
native materials, the exposed surface scarified to a depth of 8 inches,
brought to within 2% of optimum moisture content and compacted to a
minimum of 90% of the laboratory standard (ASTM: D-1557-12) prior to
placement of any additional compacted fill soils, concrete slabs and
pavement. The upper 12 inches of soils beneath building pad and concrete
paving shall be compacted to a minimum of 95%. Grading shall extend a
minimum of 5 horizontal feet outside the edges of foundations or equidistant
to the depth of fill placed, whichever is greater. Care should be taken to
provide or maintain adequate lateral support for all adjacent improvements
and structures at all times during the grading operations and construction
phase. Adequate drainage away from the structures, pavement and slopes
should be provided at all times.
NorCal Engineering
March 3, 2021
Page 8
Project Number 22373-21
It is likely that isolated areas of undiscovered fill not described in this report
or materials disturbed during demolition operations will be encountered on
site; if found, these areas should be treated as discussed earlier. A diligent
search shall also be conducted during grading operations in an effort to
uncover any underground structures, cesspools, septic tanks, irrigation or
utility lines. If encountered, these structures and lines shall be either
removed or properly abandoned prior to the proposed construction.
Abandonment procedures will be provided once underground structures are
encountered.
If placement of slabs-on-grade and pavement is not performed immediately
upon completion of grading operations, additional testing and grading of the
areas may be necessary prior to continuation of construction operations.
Likewise, if adverse weather conditions occur which may damage the
subgrade soils, additional assessment by the soils engineer as to the
suitability of the supporting soils may be needed.
7.1.2 Fill Blanket Recommendations
Due to the potential for differential settlement of structures supported on
both compacted fill and medium dense native soils, it is recommended that
all foundations be underlain by a uniform compacted fill blanket at least 3
feet in thickness. The fill blanket shall extend a minimum of 5 horizontal feet
outside the edges of foundations or equidistant to the depth of fill placed,
whichever is greater.
Building floor slabs should be underlain by a minimum of 2 feet of
compacted fill soils.

7.1.3 Shrinkage and Subsidence
Project Number 22373-21
Results of our in-place density tests reveal that the soil shrinkage will be on
the order of 6 to 8% due to excavation and recompaction, based upon the
assumption that the fill is compacted to 92% of the maximum dry density
per ASTM standards. Subsidence should be up to 0.08 feet due to
earthwork operations. The volume change does not include any allowance
for vegetation or organic stripping, removal of subsurface improvements or
topographic approximations.
Although these values are only approximate, they represent our best
estimate of shrinkage values which will likely occur during grading. If more
accurate shrinkage and subsidence factors are needed, it is recommended
that field testing using the actual equipment and grading techniques should
be conducted.
7.2 Temporary Excavations and Shoring Design
Temporary unsurcharged excavations less than 4 feet in height may be
excavated at vertical inclinations. Excavations over 4 feet in height in the
existing site materials may be trimmed at a 1 to 1 (horizontal to vertical)
gradient for the entire height of the cut. In areas where soils with little or no
binder are encountered, where adverse geological conditions are exposed,
or where excavations are adjacent to existing structures, shoring, slot-
cutting, or flatter excavations may be required.
The temporary cut slope gradients given above do not preclude local
raveling and sloughing. All excavations shall be made in accordance with
the requirements of the soils engineer, CAL-OSHA and other public
agencies having jurisdiction.
NorCal Engineering

Project Number 22373-21
Temporary shoring design may utilize an active earth pressure of 25 pcf
without any surcharge due to adjacent traffic, equipment or structures. The
passive fluid pressures of 250 pcf may be doubled to 500 pcf for temporary
design.
7.3 Foundation Design
All foundations may be designed utilizing the following allowable soil bearing
capacities for an embedded depth of 18 inches into approved compacted fill
materials with the corresponding widths. Footings shall not traverse from
compacted fill to native soils due to the potential for differential settlement of
structures.

foundation~ a minimum of 18 inches in depth and at least 8 inches into the
underlying medium dense native soils. A one-third increase may be used
when considering short-term loading from wind and seismic forces.
Steel reinforcement may be necessary due to soil expansion or proposed
loadings and shall be further evaluated by the project engineers and/or
architect. A representative of this firm shall observe foundation excavations
prior placement of steel reinforcement and concrete.

7.4 Settlement Analysis
Project Number 22373-21
Resultant pressure curves for the consolidation tests are shown on Plates
D-F. Computations utilizing these curves and the recommended allowable
soil bearing capacities reveal that the foundations will experience normal
settlements on the order of ¾ inch and differential settlements of less than
¼inch.
7.5 Lateral Resistance
The following values may be utilized in resisting lateral loads imposed on
the structure. Requirements of the California Building Code should be
adhered to when the coefficient of friction and passive pressures are
combined.
Coefficient of Friction -0.40
Equivalent Passive Fluid Pressure= 250 lbs./cu.ft.
Maximum Passive Pressure= 2,500 lbs./cu.ft.
The passive pressure recommendations are valid only for approved
compacted fill soils or competent native ground.
7.6 Retaining Wall Design Parameters
Active earth pressures against retaining walls will be equal to the pressures
developed by the following fluid densities. These values are for granular
backfill material placed behind the walls at various ground slopes above
the walls.

Any applicable short-term construction surcharges and seismic forces
should be added to the above lateral pressure values. All walls shall be
waterproofed as needed and protected from hydrostatic pressure by a
reliable permanent subdrain system.
During a local Magnitude 7 earthquake along the Cucamonga fault zone,
additional lateral pressures will occur along the back of retaining walls. The
seismic-induced lateral soil pressure may be computed using a triangular
pressure distribution with the maximum value at the top of the wall. The
maximum lateral pressure of (20 pcf) H where H is the height of the retained
soils above the wall footing should be used in final design of retaining walls.
Sliding resistance values and passive fluid pressure values given in our
previous report may be increased by 1/3 during short-term wind and seismic
loading conditions.
7.7 Floor Slab Design
Concrete floor slabs-on-grade shall be a minimum of 4 and 6 inches in
thickness in office and warehouse areas, respectively, and may be placed
upon fill soils compacted to a minimum of 95% relative compaction.
Additional reinforcement requirements and an increase in thickness of the
slabs-on-grade may be necessary based upon soils expansion potential and
proposed loading conditions in the _structures and should be evaluated
further by the project engineers and/or architect.
NorCal Engineering

Project Number 22373-21
A vapor retarder should be utilized in areas which would be sensitive to the
infiltration of moisture. This retarder shall meet requirements of ASTM E 96,
Water Vapor Transmission of Materials and ASTM E 1745, Standard
Specification for Water Vapor Retarders used in Contact with Soil or
Granular Fill Under Concrete Slabs. The vapor retarder shall be installed in
accordance with procedures stated in ASTM E 1643, Standard practice for
Installation of Water Vapor Retarders used in Contact with Earth or Granular
Fill Under Concrete Slabs.
The moisture retarder may be placed directly upon compacted subgrade,
although 1 to 2 inches of sand beneath the membrane is desirable. The
subgrade upon which the retarder is placed shall be smooth and free of
rocks, gravel or other protrusions which may damage the retarder. Use of
sand above the retarder is under the purview of the structural engineer; if
sand is used over the retarder, it should be placed in a dry condition.
All concrete slab areas to receive floor coverings should be moisture tested
to meet all manufacturer requirements prior to placement.
7.8 Expansive Soil
The upper soils at the site are very low (Expansion Index = 0-20) in
expansion potential. Sites with expansive soils (Expansion Index >20)
require special attention during project design and maintenance. The
attached Expansive Soil Guidelines should be reviewed by the engineers,
architects, owner, maintenance personnel and other interested parties and
considered during the design of the project and future property
maintenance.

7.9 Utility Trench and Excavation Backfill
Project Number 22373-21
Trenches from installation of utility lines and other excavations may be
backfilled with on-site soils or approved imported soils compacted to a
minimum of 90% relative compaction. All utility lines shall be properly
bedded and shaded with clean sand having a sand equivalency rating of 30
or more. This material shall be thoroughly water jetted around the pipe
structure prior to placement of compacted backfill soils.
7.10 Corrosion Design Criteria
Representative samples of the surficial soils revealed negligible sulfate
concentrations and no special concrete design recommendations are
deemed necessary at this time. It is recommended that additional sulfate
tests be performed at the completion of rough grading to assure that the as
graded conditions are consistent with the recommendations stated in this
design. Sulfate test results may be found on the attached Table Ill.
Tests were also conducted on a random representative sample of soils to
determine the potential corrosive effects on buried metallic structures.
Tests for pH, resistivity and chloride are included on Tables IV -VI. Soil pH
indicates a slightly acidic condition. Resistivity is representative of slightly
corrosive soils and metallic structures should be protected as necessary.
Chloride content measured 171 ppm.
A corrosion engineer may be consulted regarding protection of buried
metallic piping.

7.11 Preliminary Pavement Design
Project Number 22373-21
The table below provides a preliminary pavement design based upon a
design R-Value of 50 for the proposed pavement areas. Final pavement
design should be based on R-Value testing of the subgrade soils near the
conclusion of rough grading to assure that the as-graded conditions are
consistent with those used in this preliminary design.

95%. Any concrete slab-on-grade in pavement areas shall be a minimum of
6 inches in thickness and may be placed on subgrade soils compacted to at
least 95% relative compaction. An increase in slab thickness and
placement of steel reinforcement due to loading conditions and soil
expansion may be necessary and should be reviewed by the structural
engineer.
The above recommendations are based upon estimated traffic loadings.
Client should submit anticipated traffic loadings for the pavement areas to
the soils engineer, when available, so that pavement sections may be
reviewed to determine adequacy to support the proposed loadings.

8.0 INFILTRATION TESTING
Project Number 22373-21
A truck mounted hollow stem auger was used to excavate the exploratory
borings B-1 to B-4 for testing in order to establish general infiltration rates
for the proposed stormwater retention/infiltration system.
The borings consisted of 8-inch diameter test holes. A 3-inch diameter
perforated PVC casing with solid end cap was installed in the borings and
then surrounded with gravel materials to prevent caving. The infiltration
holes were carefully filled with clean water and refilled after two initial
readings. Based upon the initial rapid rates of infiltration at each location,
test measurements were measured at 10-minute maximum intervals
immediately thereafter. Measurements were obtained by using an
electronic tape measure with 1/16-inch divisions and timed with a
stopwatch.
8.1 Discussion of Results
Based upon the results of our testing, the underlying soils exhibit favorable
infiltration rates at depths of 6 to 10 feet. The infiltration field data and test
calculations are attached in Appendix D. The following table provides our
test results for each test:
Test No. Depth (feet bgs) Soil Type Infiltration Rate
B-1 11 silty SAND 14.6 in/hr
B-2 13 silty SAND 13.4 in/hr
B-3 15 silty SAND 9.5 in/hr
B-4 13 silty SAND 17.0 in/hr
The test holes did not encounter any adverse condition such as severe
caving or siltation.
NorCal Engineering
March 3, 2021
Page 17
Project Number 22373-21
Based upon our field test results, the final design rates may be computed
using a safety factor of 2.0 for the proposed infiltration system at the test
depth in each location. The system should be located a minimum of 10 feet
away from structures. The test results are representative of the soils
encountered in our exploratory borings. Groundwater deeper than 50 feet
will not adversely affect the function of the system.
The use of an on-site disposal system appears to be geotechnically feasible
for future development provided the low infiltration rates as give are used in
the design. All systems must meet the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board (CRWQCB) requirements. The recommendations and
conclusions contained in this report are based upon the soil conditions
uncovered in our test excavations.
9.0 CLOSURE
The recommendations and conclusions contained in this report are based
upon the soil conditions uncovered in our test excavations. No warranty of
the soil condition between our excavations is implied. NorCal Engineering
should be notified for possible further recommendations if unexpected to
unfavorable conditions are encountered during construction phase. It is the
responsibility of the owner to ensure that all information within this report is
submitted to the Architect and appropriate Engineers for the project.
This firm should have the opportunity to review the final plans (72 hours for
review required) to verify that all our recommendations are incorporated.
This report and all conclusions are subject to the review of the controlling
authorities for the project.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR PLACEMENT OF COMPACTED FILL
Excavation
Any existing low-density soils and/or saturated soils shall be removed to
competent natural soil under the inspection of the Soils Engineering Firm. After
the exposed surface has been cleansed of debris and/or vegetation, it shall be
scarified until it is uniform in consistency, brought to the proper moisture content
and compacted to a minimum of 90%' relative compaction (in accordance with
ASTM: D-1557-12).
In any area where a transition between fill and native soil or between bedrock
and soil are encountered, additional excavation beneath foundations and slabs
will be necessary in order to provide uniform support and avoid differential
settlement of the structure. Verification of elevations during grading operations
will be the responsibility of the owner or his designated representative.
Material For Fill
The on-site soils or approved import soils may be utilized for the compacted fill
provided they are free of any deleterious materials and shall not contain any
rocks, brick, asphaltic concrete, concrete or other hard materials greater than
eight inches in maximum dimensions. Any import soil must be approved by the
Soils Engineering firm a minimum of 72 hours prior to importation of site.
Placement of Compacted Fill Soils
The approved fill soils shall be placed in layers not excess of six inches in
thickness. Each lift shall be uniform in thickness and thoroughly blended. The fill
soils shall be brought to within 2% of the optimum moisture content, unless
otherwise specified by the Soils Engineering firm. Each lift shall be compacted to
a minimum of 90% relative compaction (in accordance with ASTM: D-1557-12)
and approved prior to the placement of the next layer of soil. Compaction tests
shall be obtained at the discretion of the Soils Engineering firm but to a minimum
of one test for every 500 cubic yards placed and/or for every 2 feet of compacted
fill placed.
• The minimum relative compaction shall be obtained in accordance with accepted
methods in the construction industry. The final grade of the structural areas shall
be in a dense and smooth condition prior to placement of slabs-on-grade or
pavement areas. No fill soils shall be placed, spread or compacted during
unfavorable weather conditions. When the grading is interrupted by heavy rains,
compaction operations shall not be resumed until approved by the Soils
Engineering firm.

Grading Observations
Project Number 22373-21
The controlling governmental agencies should be notified prior to
commencement of any grading operations. This firm recommends that the
grading operations be conducted under the observation of a Soils Engineering
firm as deemed necessary. A 24-hour notice must be provided to this firm prior
to the time of our initial inspection.
Observation shall include the clearing and grubbing operations to assure that all
unsuitable materials have been properly removed; approve the exposed
subgrade in areas to receive fill and in areas where excavation has resulted in
the desired finished grade and designate areas of overexcavation; and perform
field compaction tests to determine relative compaction achieved during fill
placement. In addition, all foundation excavations shall be observed by the Soils
Engineering firm to confirm that appropriate bearing materials are present at the
design grades and recommend any modifications to construct footings.

EXPANSIVE SOIL GUIDELINES
The following expansive soil guidelines are provided for your project. The intent
of these guidelines is to inform you, the client, of the importance of proper design
and maintenance of projects supported on expansive soils. You, as the owner
or other interested party, should be warned that you have a duty to provide
the information contained in the soil report including these guidelines to
your design engineers, architects, landscapers and other design parties in
order to enable them to provide a design that takes into consideration
expansive soils.
In addition, you should provide the soil report with these guidelines to any
property manager, lessee, property purchaser or other interested party that will
have or assume the responsibility of maintaining the development in the future.
Expansive soils are fine-grained silts and clays which are subject to swelling and
contracting. The amount of this swelling and contracting is subject to the amount
of fine-grained clay materials present in the soils and the amount of moisture
either introduced or extracted from the soils. Expansive soils are divided into five
categories ranging from "very low" to "very high". Expansion indices are
assigned to each classification and are included in the laboratory testing section
of this report. If the expansion index of the soils on your site, as stated in this
report, is 21 or higher, you have expansive soils. The classifications of
expansive soils are as follows:
Classification of Expansive Soil*
Expansion Index Potential Expansion
0-20 Very Low

*From Table 18A-I-B of California Building Code (1988)
When expansive soils are compacted during site grading operations, care is
taken to place the materials at or slightly above optimum moisture levels and
perform proper compaction operations. Any subsequent excessive wetting
and/or drying of expansive soils will cause the soil materials to expand and/or
contract. These actions are likely to cause distress of foundations, structures,
slabs-on-grade, sidewalks and pavement over the life of the structure. It is
therefore imperative that even after construction of improvements, the
moisture contents are maintained at relatively constant levels, allowing
neither excessive wetting or drying of soils.

Evidence of excessive wetting of expansive soils may be seen in concrete slabs,
both interior and exterior. Slabs may lift at construction joints producing a trip
hazard or may crack from the pressure of soil expansion. Wet clays in
foundation areas may result in lifting of the structure causing difficulty in the
opening and closing of doors and windows, as well as cracking in exterior and
interior wall surfaces. In extreme wetting of soils to depth, settlement of the
structure may eventually result. Excessive wetting of soils in landscape areas
adjacent to concrete or asphaltic pavement areas may also result in expansion of
soils beneath pavement and resultant distress to the pavement surface.
Excessive drying of expansive soils is initially evidenced by cracking in the
surface of the soils due to contraction. Settlement of structures and on-grade
slabs may also eventually result along with problems in the operation of doors
and windows.
Projects located in areas of expansive clay soils will be subject to more
movement and "hairline" cracking of walls and slabs than similar projects situated
on non-expansive sandy soils. There are, however, measures that developers
and property owners may take to reduce the amount of movement over the life
the development. The following guidelines are provided to assist you in both
design and maintenance of projects on expansive soils:
• Drainage away from structures and pavement is essential to prevent
excessive wetting of expansive soils. Grades of at least 3% should be
designed and maintained to allow flow of irrigation and rain water to
approved drainage devices or to the street. Any "ponding" of water
adjacent to buildings, slabs and pavement after rains is evidence of
poor drainage; the installation of drainage devices or regrading of the
area may be required to assure proper drainage. Installation of rain
gutters is also recommended to control the introduction of moisture
next to buildings. Gutters should discharge into a drainage device or
onto pavement which drains to roadways.
• Irrigation should be strictly controlled around building foundations,
slabs and pavement and may need to be adjusted depending upon
season. This control is essential to maintain a relatively uniform
moisture content in the expansive soils and to prevent swelling and
contracting. Over-watering adjacent to improvements may result in
damage to those improvements. NorCal Engineering makes no
specific recommendations regarding landscape irrigation schedules.

• Planting schemes for landscaping around structures and pavement
should be analyzed carefully. Plants (including sod) requiring high
amounts of water may result in excessive wetting of soils. Trees and
large shrubs may actually extract moisture from the expansive soils,
thus causing contraction of the fine-grained soils.
• Thickened edges on exterior slabs will assist in keeping excessive
moisture from entering directly beneath the concrete. A six-inch thick
or greater deepened edge on slabs may be considered. Underlying
interior and exterior slabs with 6 to 12 inches or more of non-expansive
soils and providing presaturation of the underlying clayey soils as
recommended in the soil report will improve the overall performance of
on-grade slabs.
• Increase the amount of steel reinforcing in concrete slabs, foundations
and other structures to resist the forces of expansive soils. The
precise amount of reinforcing should be determined by the appropriate
design engineers and/or architects.
• Recommendations of the soil report should always be followed in the
development of the project. Any recommendations regarding
presaturation of the upper subgrade soils in slab areas should be
performed in the field and verified by the Soil Engineer.
