Based on SCP <br /> testing at the test pit locations, this material should be suitable for <br /> the assumed soil bearing value of 2, 000 psf . <br /> I recommended that all footings be lowered below the existing fill, to <br /> rest on naturally-occurring soil . Based on review of surface contours and <br /> available minimal elevation information, frost footings around the <br /> perimeter should bear on naturally-occurring soil . I recommend the three <br /> interior column pads, designed to rest directly below the slab, be lowered <br /> to rest on the naturally-occurring soil , or the existing fill be removed, <br /> and fill be placed to re-attain design footing elevation . <br /> Mr. Weibel indicated they would be excavating for footings tomorrow, and <br /> requested a foundation base soil observation testing visit at 2 : 00 to <br /> 2 : 30 pm on March 2, 1999 . In reviewing the Special Inspections required <br /> for this project and structural drawings, we are to observe reinforcing <br /> steel installation during footing construction, perform periodic masonry <br /> special inspection, and observe and test welded and bolted connections . <br /> SJR:rnsa <br /> C:\9JR\8216.MRM <br /> OMS CONIULTA%'TA,FMC. • <br />
