This design is based on a wall layout plan provided by <br /> you on October 10, 2016.Additional information requested by Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers but not <br /> available includes: geotechnical site survey and soil data. <br /> The attached typical section(s)should be referenced for construction details. Special note should be <br /> made ot the wall embedment depth and the geosynthetic fabric(geogrid) length as measured from the <br /> front face of the wall if applicable. <br /> Refer to industry standard practice references for installation information, specifications, and details. <br /> - Stones shall be placed to avoid continuous joint planes in vertical directions. <br /> - Each stone shall bear on two or more rocks below it with good flat-to-flat contact. <br /> - Compact any structural fill place behind the drainage zone to 95% standard proctor. <br /> - Install woven landscape fabric behind the stone to limit soil migration through the wall face. <br /> - Optional drainage stone shall consist of clean 3/4"to 1.5" crushed stone <br /> The design of the wall system is specific to the following parameters: <br /> • Location: Replacement of existing tiered retaining walls at shoreline <br /> • Exposed height: 5 feet, max. single height wall; 10 feet max. 2-tiered wall <br /> • Minimum embedment depth=6", as noted <br /> • Soil conditions: SilUClay, friction angle=28.0 degrees, unit weight of 125.0 Ib/ft3 <br /> • Allowable soil bearing capacity=2,000 psf <br /> • Surcharge loads behind the wall: None <br /> • Slope at top of upper wall: 10:1 <br /> • Slope between upper and lower wall: 10:1 <br /> • Slope at bottom of lower wall: 5:1 <br /> • Boulder sizes: Granite rectangular boulders(10"H, 18"W, 24"D, typical minimum dimensions) <br /> • Geosynthetic Reinforcement Fabric Type: None required <br /> • Drainage pipe: Required <br /> LICENSED <br /> PROFESSIONAL <br /> ENGINEERS <br /> HOME&BUILDING INSPECTIONS <br /> STRUCTURAL EVALUATIONS <br /> ASSOCIATION RESERVElfRANSITION STUDIES <br /> RESIDENTIAUCOMMERCIAL <br /> RETAINING WALL DESIGN 8�EVALUATIONS <br />
