Gentlemen:
This report reflects the results cf our field investigation and subsequent evaluation of
�l
' damaged and uneven perimeter sidewalk conditions at the referenced site. Included are
recommendations for correcting damaged and uneven walks.
' FIELD AND LABORATORY WORK
�l
On August 31, 1976 a field exploration was made in perimeter walk areas at the �!

' referenced site by drilling 4 shallow test borings with a truck mounted drilling rig
� I

equipped with a six inch diameter continuous flight auger bit. Approximate location of • i

test borings are Shown on the attached skeich, Plate "A11.

A continuous observation of materials and soi's encountered in tl:e field were recorded as t
' drilling pro;ressed. A detailed description of soils, base material -rid portiand coment
concrete thickness is shown on attached boring logs, Plates 13-1 and B-2.
Undisturhed samples of SU5i;rad0 soils sccurcd in a 2.5 inch T.D. ring lined core barrel ;
' sampler were transported to the laboratory and tosted for field moistiue and derisity.
' These resu'ts are posted to the ref ercnced lot; of boring;.

1 �Typical undisturb"d samples were selected for expansion test to determine expansive soil

EVALUATION
Based on information obtained during field exploration and review of available laboratory I
' lest data the following evaluation is presented.
' FIELD EXPLORATION
1. Concrete S!abs:
Thickness of concrete slabs was 2.5 inches at 3 of 4. .test hole locations. A thickness
pf 3 inches was measured at the location of Test Hole: No. 3. No reinforcing was
1
noted during slab penetration, and the concrete was easily penetrated with a steel
core bit attachment- to the auger drilling rig. Lack of reinforcing could permit
' excessive movement between slab joints.
r
2. Base Material:
' Sand grid graven base thickness underlaying slabs varied from 4.5 to 9 inches at test
Poring locaticns. -Thfs base material a!so appeared loose and dry when penetrated.
' If.placcia in-such a loose condition, the overlaying slab sections would have settle
differentially.
,
3. Planter Areas:
.No shallow major tree root structure was encountered in borings drilled near
planters in the cast sidexva!k area. This would tend to indicate that tree roots are
' not a major contributing, factor to slab undulations in this arca.
ti 2359 Pane 3
r - OW) ELPLORATION - Continued.•
rLABORATORY TESTS
r1. Percent Relative Compaction:
When compared to the maximum density test, field densities indicate surface soils at
j r percentages of compaction varyng from 77 to 35 percent. This would tend to
' indicate that little or no compactive effort was applied to the site subgrade soils
iprior to placing Ilse overlaying base material.
2. Expansive Soil Characteristics:
r
rExpansion tests conducted on slices removed from undisturbed core samples indicate
f low to moderate swell potential remaining in existing site soils. This indicates that
rvarying degrees of expansive sbll potential probably existed at the time of
i construction and that movement would be non-uniform with the addition or
! r subtraction of moisture contents. this condition coved be a contributing factor for
non-uniform walk surface conditions in the area of planters.
Expansion test conducted on a combined sample of subgrade soil types encountered
indicate site soils are potentially highly expansive when recompacted 50 percent of
' maximum density at presaturation (4 percent over optirnurn) moisture contents.
' If recompacted to moisture cements at or less than optimum, borderline critical
expansive soil potential is estimated for site soils.
SUMMARY
r
It is our opinion that the followin3y Ib2mS Were contributing faCt O.'S 10 Uneven Walk

SUMMARY - Continued •
3. Lack of reinforcing, or lack of sufficient design for walk slabs to resist differential
movements in underlaying supporting materials.
' RECOMMENDATIONS
' It is not considered feasible to correct the uneven walk surface conditions by utilizing slab
overlay procedures. Use of grout injection procedures to underlaying sand is not
considered a suitable alternate, in that, such procedures would not add appreciable
' structural characteristics to the overlaying slab which is necessary to conteract potential
total and differential movements from expansive soil pressures.
It is our opinion it would be necessary to remove the existing walk, improve the
underlaying soils and base material, and provide a new walk structurally designed to resist {
expansive soil pressures. Provided in the fo!lowir,i are recommendations for performing 1
' necessary rehabilittion work.
1. Remove the existing concrete side walk and dispose of off site.
2. Remove existing base material and set aside for reuse.
3. Scarify the upper 12 inches of existing site soils and recompact to 90 percent of
maximum density at moisture contents 4 percent wet of optimum moisture. Every
attempt should be made to create a uniform subgrade such that the replacement of
base is to a uniform thickness.
4. Replace bas.: material to a minimum thickness of 6 inches and compsct to 95
percent of maximum density at rear optimum moisture contents.
' S. Tests And lnsnoctior,s:
An adequate number of field density tests should be taken during compaction
operations to ensure desired perccntafies of re!mive compaction are achieved.
,�0 2359 I Pale 5
RECOMMENDATIONS- Continued
i
Test and Inspections-Cont.
r :
Maximum density to control rnmpactionoperations is to be determined in accordance
' with ASTM b 1557-70 test procedures modified to use 3 instead of 5 equal soil
layers.
Inspections of cut off wall depths, as described in the following paragraph 7, should* E
be made to confirm adequate embedment.
6. Replace the walk slab with a new slab a minimum of 14 inches thick, reinforced with r
6 x 6 - 6/6 wire mesh or #3 bars, 1£ inchs center to center.
7. Comments-
i
Plans should be reviewed to confirm depth of foundations or cut off wails, if any,
enclosing planters. i
' Where plans indicate such systems are embedded less than 24 inches into subgrade 1
i
soils, it will he necessary to construct cut off wall adjacent to planters to adepth of ;.
24 inches to retard lateral migration of water from landscape irrigation.
r
i
A structural engineer should be retained to review the minimum slab thickness and
' reinforcing presented in the above paragraph 6. Upon such review, an increase in
t
concrete thickness and/or reinforcing requirements as appropriate should bo II?CllidCd �

(1) Shrinkage test specimen was placed in 0100 to 100017 forced air oven for a minimum of 48 hours to determine percent
height reduction due to moisture loss. Nloisture content at shrinkage determined from this air dry specimen.
Results from shrinkage portion of test applied to percent swell portion of test for both 60 and 650 psf surcharge
loads.
(2) Swell test specimens immersed in water for a minimum of 24 hours and until the rate of height change was less than
0.0005 inches per hour.- Moisture content for these specimens was then determined.
(3) Percent L•xpansion is the sum of the percent shrinkage and swell.
• *Refer to Plate C-1 for composite sample used to perform maximum density test. Expansion test specimen consisted of soils
cut from larger bulk sample used to perform maximum density test.
