We recommend all fill be compacted to a minimum <br /> relative density of 92 percent of modified Proctor densiry (ASTM D 1557). <br /> ' <br /> We understand you propose to obtain fill soils from other portions of this site. Th�ese soils <br /> ' will likely be similar to those encountered in the borings. The soils encountered in the borings <br /> are generally over the optimum moisture content and will not make good fill material unless <br /> ' dried to lower the moisture content. If the on-site soils cannot be sufficiently dried, drier fill <br /> will likely have to be imported to reestablish grades. <br /> , C.3 Foundations <br /> After completing the recommended excavation and backfill, the soils will be suitabte for <br /> ' support of the building using typical spread footings designed for an allowable bearing <br /> pressure of 2,000 pounds per square foot (ps fl. <br /> , We recommend the perimeter footings be founded a minimum of 42 inches below exterior <br /> grade for frost protection. Interior footings may be placed immediately beneath the floor slab, <br /> , provided the building will be heated during the winter months. <br /> C.4 Floor <br /> 1 After the building pad preparation has been completed, we anticipate the floor subgrade will <br /> be cumpacted till. Backtill of footing excavations and below-slab mechanical trenches should <br /> ' be compacted to a minimum ef 90 pe:cant or the modified Proctor density. The compacte�i till . . <br /> should then be suitable for floor slab support. We suggest the upper 6 inches of soil below the <br /> floor slab consist of a clean sand (less than 10 percent fines passing the number 200 sieve) to <br /> ' .recluce capillary rise of ground moisture, and thus reduce the potential for dampness af the <br /> tloor. <br /> , If floor coverin s less ermeable than the concrete slab will be used we recommend a va or <br /> � P , P <br /> barrier be placed beneath the slab. Consideration should be given to burying the vapor barrier <br /> ' beneath a layer of sand to reduce curling of the floor slabs. <br /> ' <br /> � <br /> ' <br />
