The test pit was excavated in the general area of the eastern portion <br /> of the canopy(about 60'feet east of building).During test pit excavation subsurface soils generally-consisted of the <br /> -following: <br /> % w <br /> 6) °, <br /> 1. <br /> ';D Cc. 6 2 <br /> This subsurface stratigraphy generally matches that of the soil boring (ST-105)drilled in this area during our <br /> geotechnical evaluation. We recommend that foundations for the canopy(likely drilled piers or helical anchors)extend <br /> through these unstable fill and organic soils to bear upon underlying stiff, or better, glacial till soils. This will require <br /> that foundations for the canopy bear at a depth of about 15 feet in this area to ensure that unstable materials are <br /> penetrated. This depth could decrease as foundations move west toward the building; however, the actual bearing <br /> depth should be determined at the time of construction. <br /> Weather: Sunny- 75 degrees Performed By: Brad McCarter <br /> Submitted To: Jim Beckwith - Kraus-Anderson Date: September 2, 2011 <br /> • Providing engineering and environmental solutions since 1957 <br />
