Bosed on tho results ofthe subsoil investigation and the density test, it Is our opinion that these soils appear substantially adequate to support the proposed construction on a shallow “dation of pouretan-place reinforced concrela spread and continuous footings designed _litiay an allowable bearing capacity of 2500 PSF In order to limit total settlement fo one (1”) inch ot fess, in accordance with Meyerhof Theory. Dive to the fact, however, that soils are generally naturally deposited materials, formed under variable Conditions, it must be realized that major subsurface discontinuities may ocour within very short ietances, While we fee! that our test recults represent general project site conditions with respect to both type and density of soils, our office does not warrant or imply that soll test data collected are indicate of subsurface conditions except at the test location. Only a limited geotechnical evaluation of this site has been requested and performed and represents an accurate appraisal of site conditions, based upen careful interpretation of physical data, to the a possible.

The limits of separation between stata represent approximate boundaries and the ‘changes between materials may be gradual. ‘This limited subsurface investigation was conducted by performing four (4) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings at locations determined by the Client. The boring locations are poled on the atached boring logs. The laboratory engineering tezm determined the depth of the exploratory borings. = ‘The test borings, which were situated in proximity to the proposed building area, were advanced to.a maximum proposed tast depth of fifeen (15) feet below land surface (BLS), which i, in our pinion, vithin the-sol bearing load zone of infuence of structures of the proposed configuration. SITE DESCRIPTION Tho project site is comprised of a vacant 28.8 Acre tract of and cated at AA Steet, ih tho AVNET area of the Town of Davie, Florida. The property is relatively fat and contans a cover of weeds and orange trees inthe areas where the exploratory borings were conducted. The elevation of the proposed buling pad area appears to be approximately nree (3) feet below desired construction grade. PROJECT DESCRIPTION ‘The proposed constuction will consist primarly of @ two-story conventional, poured.in-piace reinforced concrete (PIPRC), concrete masonry unit (MU) structure, which is to be utlized as @ now single-family residence. SiTE GEOLOGY The geoiogis formations occuring within the southwestern Broward County area in which the projects located range in age fom Pleistocene through early Mlocene anc include (youngest fo fides!) the Mam) oolte (Miami Limestone), the Anastasia formation, the Fort Thompson ~ formation, and the Tamiami formation. 7 The Miami ootte Is generally a white to yellowish ooiitc limestone containing large amounts of sands and shells, This latfar formation is either very thin or entirely absent In much of the ‘aree, vich is primarily mantled by the Pamlico sand deposit. ¢ on BE 21104 SITE GEOLOGY (con't) Tho Tamiami ard Anastasia formations are quite similar in composition, and it is very difficult to detect or distinguish differences between them, These formations are composed chiefly of alternating beds or lonses of sandy limestone or caleareous sandstone, sand, shells, and sand clay oF matt “The Biscayne aquifer (source ofall fresh ground water in Broward County) Is @ generalized term of reference and includes all of the stratigraphle units discussed above. It extends from near ‘ground surface to more than two hundred [200' feet below mean sea level (includes the upper fortion ofthe Teriam formation), This aquifer is unconfined, and the level of ground water in the area represents ts upper extent or boundary. The lower boundary of the aquifer is at the ‘base of the upper more permeable strata of the Tariar formation. soll DE: ee erat neboriag fogs attached hereto reveals © subsurtace soll profle in the area of the A oo Hck wnen fs somedral consistent Groughout the ste ane primary consists on Free cer surfial dopoat of up to nine (f°) Inches in thickness of black eandy muck Seer ore sero wery loose, fine gran sand to approximately seven to twelve (7-12) ae Lecing Inlersedsed. staia_of medium dense to dense calcareous sand, (ee. tod calerjeous sand and limerock tothe termination ofthe explored depths CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon the results of this limited subsoil exploration, as discussed above and described in {he attached bering logs Ris our opinion thatthe eols encourtered dung SPT implementation, ‘xcept forthe surficlal deposits of eandy muck, consist of cohesionlees granular solis sacet fot Mclently consolidated, with the application of a soli modification prograrn stripging, excavation, bacifiling and surficial vibro: ion, to ‘adequately support the proposed new ‘construction on a shallow foundation designed in ‘accordance with Section 1819 of the Florida Building Code (FBC) utilizing an allowable bearing ‘capacity of 2500 PSF, to limit total settiement to not more than the one (17) inch or less,-in scvordance vith Meyerhof Theory. Consequent, in order to prepare the building pad forthe proposed structure, we recommend the following site preparation procedure: —4- stip the proposed buliing-area-to-within-at-least five.

Duting the clearing progess to remove the unsuitable soils, discard the organic solls anc, possible, steckple the clean, granuiar soll for reuse as backfl, Examine the enti stipped tnd cleared building area to be sure that no pockets of topsoil, organic sand, muck, silt, peat, Toots, vegetation, trash of other deleterious material, if encountered, remain in the construction area. If the above-described condition Is found, the limits of the deleterious materials must be excavated to their perimeters and depth until all these ‘materials aro removed. Grade the pad to a level condition. +. After the proposed construction aes has been cleared, excavated end craded, saturate the ‘entire pad area, and-use a heavy, seltpropelied vibratory roler (DYNAPAG CA251, or equivalent) to surace vibro- 1/4" Dia Medium Stemmed 41/8" to 1/4" Dia Thin Stemmed < 18" Dia Te eR 121104 We thankyou for the opportunity o be of service to you on this project.
