GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Proposed Residential Addition
344 Sunset Avenue North
Edmonds, Washington
RECEIVED
OEC o 9 2013
DEVEL&MENT SERVICES
couNTER
This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for the site of
the proposed residential addition to be located in Edmonds.
We understand that the residence addition is in the planning stage, and plans were not made available to us.
We understand that a second story will be added to the residence. We expect that some expansion of the
residence footprint is possible.
We understand that the City of Edmonds informed the project architect that the site is within a liquefaction
hazard area, and that a geotechnical engineer needed to evaluate the liquefaction hazard at the site.
If the scope of the project changes from what we have described above, we should be provided with revised
plans in order to determine if modifications to the recommendations and conclusions of this report are
warranted,
SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, illustrates the general location of the site. The rectangular site is bordered to the
north, east, and south by residential lots, and to the west by Sunset Avenue North. West of Sunset Avenue
North the ground surface slopes down to a railroad, to a beach along Puget Sound.
The ground surface within the site slopes slightly down toward the west. A single -story residence constructed
over a crawlspace is located in the western portion of the site. An asphalt driveway is located along the
northern portion of the site, and accesses a garage located on the east side of the residence. A wood deck is
located along the west side of the residence.
Most of the residence has wood siding but the lower half of the west side of the residence is faced with brick.
We observed one diagonal crack in this brick that had a width of less than one -eighth inch.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface conditions were explored by drilling two test borings at the approximate locations shown on
the Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. Our exploration program was based on the proposed construction,
anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered during exploration, and the scope of work outlined in
our proposal.
The borings were drilled on November 21, 2013 using a track -mounted, hollow -stem auger drill. Samples
were taken at 2.5- and 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 sampler 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
representative samples of the soil encountered. The Test Boring Logs are attached as Plates 3 and 4.
Soil Conditions
The test borings encountered approximately 5 feet of loose to medium -dense fill that consisted of silty
sand with pockets of topsoil and dark brown silty sand with organics. Below the fill material the test

borings encountered medium -dense to dense silty sand with gravel. The silty sand with gravel
became very dense at a depth of 10 feet, and extended to the full depth of Test Boring 1. Below the
silty sand with gravel, Test Boring 2 encountered very dense sand at a depth of 16 feet.,
In addition to the test borings, we excavated several hand holes near the foundations to evaluate soil
conditions below the foundations. We were unable to excavate hand holes on the north side of the
residence because the ground surface is covered with a driveway and access to the west side of the
residence was limited by a wood deck. We excavated one hand hole on the east side of the garage
and found that the garage is supported on a slab -on -grade. We also excavated three hand holes on
the south side of the residence and advanced the holes to the base of the foundation, which was
about 3 feet below the ground surface. Using a % inch diameter probe rod, we evaluated the soil at
the base of the foundations. With moderate effort, we probed 3 inches, 12 inches, and 18 inches Into
the subgrade soil; which is an indication that the existing foundation Is bearing on relatively loose soils.
Groundwater Conditions
No groundwater seepage was observed in the test borings, which were left open for only a short time
period. Therefore, the lack of seepage levels on the logs may not accurately represent the absence of
transient water seepage. It should be noted that groundwater levels vary seasonally with rainfall and
other factors. We anticipate that groundwater could be found between the near -surface weathered
soil and the underlying denser soil.
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.
If a transition In soil type occurred between samples in the borings, the depth of the transition was interpreted.
The relative densities and moisture descriptions indicated on the test boring logs are interpretive descriptions
based on the conditions observed during drilling.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL
THIS SECTION CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF OUR STUDY AND FINDINGS FOR THE PURPOSES OF A
GENERAL OVERVIEW ONLY. MORE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE
CONTAINED IN THE REMAINDER OF THIS REPORT. ANY PARTY RELYING ON THIS REPORT SHOULD
READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT.
The test borings conducted for this study encountered medium -dense to dense native soil at a depth of about
5 feet. This material Is not liquefiable and is suitable for the support of residence foundations. However, our
limited evaluation of conditions below the existing southern foundation found up to about 1.5 feet of loose soil
below foundations. Furthermore, the observed crack. in the brick facing on the west side of the residence may
be the result of foundation settlement due to the presence of loose soil below the foundation. Site conditions
prevented our ability to evaluate conditions below the remainder of the residence foundations, so we do not
know if loose soil underlies other residence foundations. Due to settlement concerns from the weight of the
additional level, we recommend that the existing foundations be underpinned with concrete -filled plinths to
transfer the building loads to the medium -dense native soils. This will avoid unacceptable post construction
settlements. The over -excavations should be filled with concrete and will need to be verified by the
geotechnical engineer. The excavations need not be continuous if the project structural engineer determines
that the existing foundation can span areas of loose soil between isolated improved areas. The project
structural engineer should determine the required size and spacing of these concrete -filled excavations based
on the bearing capacities in this report and the foundation loading and strength.
In our opinion, stormwater infiltration at the site is not feasible due to the presence of dense silty sand close to
the ground surface.

The erosion control measures needed during the site development will depend heavily on the weather
conditions that are encountered. While site clearing will expose a large area of bare soil, the erosion potential
on the site is relatively low due to the gentle slope of the ground. We anticipate that a silt fence will be needed
around the downslope sides of any cleared areas. Rocked construction access roads should be extended into
the site to reduce the amount of soil or mud carried off the property by trucks and equipment. Wherever
possible, these roads should follow the alignment of planned pavements, and trucks should not be allowed to
drive off of the rock -covered areas. Cut slopes and soil stockpiles should be covered with plastic during wet
weather. Following rough grading, it may be necessary to mulch or hydroseed bare areas that will not be
immediately covered with landscaping or an impervious surface.
The drainage and/or waterproofing recommendations presented in this report are intended only to prevent
active seepage from flowing through concrete walls or slabs. Even in the absence of active seepage into and
beneath structures, water vapor can migrate through walls, slabs, and floors from the surrounding soil, and
can even be transmitted from slabs and foundation walls due to the concrete curing process. Water vapor
also results from occupant uses, such as cooking and bathing. Excessive water vapor trapped within
structures can result in a variety of undesirable conditions, including, but not limited to, moisture problems with
flooring systems, excessively molst air within occupied areas, and the growth of molds, fungi, and other
biological organisms that may be harmful to the health of the occupants. The designer or architect must
consider the potential vapor sources and likely occupant uses, and provide sufficient ventilation, either passive
or mechanical, to prevent a build up of excessive water vapor within the planned structure.
Geotech Consultants, Inc. should be allowed to review the final development 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.
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS
In accordance with the International Building Code (IBC), the site soil profile within 100 feet of the ground
surface is best represented by Site Class Type C (Very Dense Soil and Soft Rock). As noted in the USGS
website, the mapped spectral acceleration value for a 0.2 second (S,,) and 1.0 second period (Si) equals
1.06g and 0,35g, respectively.
The IBC states that a site -specific seismic study need not be performed provided that the peak ground
acceleration be equal to SE)s/2.5, where SDs Is determined in ASCE 7. It is noted that SDS 18 equal to 2/3Sms.
Sms equals F,, times Ss, where Fa is determined in Table 11.4-1. For our site, Fa = 1.0. Thus, the calculated
peak ground acceleration that we utilized for the seismic -related parameters of this report equals 0.28g. The
site soils are not susceptible to seismic liquefaction because of their dense nature.
CONVENTIONAL FOUNDATIONS
The proposed structure can be supported on conventional continuous and spread footings bearing on
undisturbed, medium -dense, native soil, or on structural fill placed above this competent native soil. See the
section entitled General Earthwork and Structural Fill for recommendations regarding the placement and
compaction of structural fill beneath structures. We recommend that continuous and individual spread
footings have minimum widths of 16 and 24 inches, respectively. Exterior footings should also be bottomed at
least 18 Inches below the lowest adjacent finish ground surface for protection against frost and erosion. The
local building codes should be reviewed to determine if different footing widths or embedment depths are
required. Footing subgrades must be cleaned of loose or disturbed soil prior'to pouring concrete. Depending
upon site and equipment constraints, this may require removing the disturbed soil by hand.
An allowable bearing pressure of 3,500 pounds per square foot (psf) is appropriate for footings supported
on competent native soil. A one-third increase in this design bearing pressure may be used when considering
GEOTECH CONSULTANTS, INC.
Goebel

short-term wind or seismic loads. For the above design criteria, it is anticipated that the total post -construction
settlement of footings founded on competent native soil, or on structural fill up to 5 feet in thickness, will be
about one -inch, with differential settlements on the order of one -half -inch in a distance of 30 feet along a
continuous footing with a uniform load.
Lateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction between the foundation and the bearing
soil, or by passive earth pressure acting on the vertical, embedded portions of the foundation. For the latter
condition, the foundation must be either poured directly against relatively level, undisturbed soil or be
surrounded by level, well -compacted fill. We recommend using the following ultimate values for the
foundation's resistance to lateral loading:
ULTIMATE
PARAMETER VALUE
Coefficient of Friction 0.40
Passive Earth Pressure 350 pcf
Where: (1) pcf is pounds per cubic foot, and (11) passive earth
pressure is computed using the equivalent fluid density.
If the ground in front of a foundation is loose or sloping, the passive earth pressure given, above will not be
appropriate. We recommend maintaining a safety factor of at least 1.5 for the foundation's resistance to
lateral loading, when using the above ultimate values.
EXCA VA TIONS
Excavation slopes should not exceed the limits specified in local, state, and national government safety
regulations. Temporary cuts to a depth of about 4 feet may be attempted vertically in unsaturated soil, If there
are no indications of slope instability, However, vertical cuts should not be made near property boundaries, or
existing utilities and structures. Based upon Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 296, Part N, the soil at
the subject site would generally be classified as Type B. Therefore, temporary cut slopes greater than 4 feet
in height should not be excavated at an inclination steeper than 1:1 (Horizontal:Vertical), extending
continuously between the top and the bottom of a cut.
The above-recom mended temporary -slope inclination is based on the conditions exposed in our explorations,
and on what has been successful at other sites with similar soil conditions. It is possible that variations in soil
and groundwater conditions will require modifications to the inclination at which temporary slopes can stand.
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. It is also important that surface water be directed away from temporary slope
cuts. The cut slopes should also be backfilled or retained as soon as possible to reduce the potential for
instability. Please note that sand or loose soil can cave suddenly and without warning. Excavation, foundation,
and utility contractors should be made especially aware of this potential danger. These recommendations
may need to be modified if the area near the potential cuts has been disturbed in the past by utility installation,
or if settlement -sensitive utilities are located nearby.
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, including utility backfill, placed under, or close to, 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
density. The moisture content of fill is very important and must be closely controlled during the filling and
compaction process.
The allowable 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 sufficiently compacted, 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:
Beneath footings, slabs 95%
or walkways
Filled slopes and behind 90%
retainina walls
95% for upper 12 inches of
Beneath pavements subgrade; 90% below that
I level �1
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 1557-91 (Modified Proctor).
Use of On -Site Soil
If grading activities take place during wet weather, or when the silty, on -site soil is wet, site preparation
costs may be higher because of delays due to rain and the potential need to import granular fill. The
on -site soil is generally silty and therefore moisture sensitive. Grading operations will be difficult
during wet weather, or when the moisture content of this soil exceeds the optimum moisture content.
Moisture -sensitive soil may also be susceptible to excessive softening and "pumping" from
construction equipment, or even foot traffic, when the moisture content is greater than the optimum
moisture content. It may be beneficial to protect subgrades with a layer of imported sand or crushed
rock to limit disturbance from traffic.
Structural fill that will be placed in wet weather should consist of a coarse, granular soil with a silt or clay
content of no more than 5 percent. The percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve should be
measured from that portion of soil passing the three -quarter -inch sieve.
LIMITATIONS
The 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 and groundwater conditions encountered in the test
borings are 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 conditions are commonly encountered on construction sites and cannot be fully anticipated by
merely taking 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.

Dear Mr. Goebel -
via email
We have completed a general review of the geotechnical aspects of the plans provided. The undersigned
associate met with the contractor and architect at the site last week following the demo of the house framing.
The onsite trackhoe was used to excavate a series of test holes in the crawlspace, and we found bearing soils
within approximately 6 inches of the existing crawlspace grades over nearly all of the footprint. Based on this
information, the team decided the preferred course of action was to remove and replace the existing
foundation. This approach is acceptable from a geotechnical standpoint and is congruent with our original
study. We do recommended that the surface of the excavation be covered with a 4- to 6-inch layer of clean
crushed rock for subgrade protection and drainage, and Geotech should be called to the site to confirm the
bearing soils prior to rock placement. Based on the drawings provided, in our judgment, the recommendations
from our original geotechnical report have been incorporated into the reviewed development plans.
In accordance with ECDC 23.80.060 — it is our opinion that (provided our recommendations are followed) the
proposed development:
I. Will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent properties beyond predevelopment
conditions;
2. Will not adversely impact other critical areas;
3. Is designed so that the hazard to the project is eliminated or mitigated to a level equal to or less
than predevelopment conditions; and
4. Is certified as safe as designed and under anticipated conditions by a qualified engineer or
geologist, licensed in the state of Washington.
Furthermore, in accordance with ECDC 23.80.050.H - there are no mapped faults within 200 feet of the
subject site (the closest being the South Whidbey Fault, which is a number of miles north of the site). Our soil
report takes into account code design earthquakes and addresses potential seismic liquefaction.
We acknowledge appointment as Special Inspector for this project, and by copy of this letter, request that we
be kept informed of the progress of construction so we are able to make the necessary observations, in a
timely manner.
