DISCLAIMER
The plan analysis, calculations, and HVAC load calculations performed by
Newton Energy, as represented in this report are intended solely to
demonstrate basic compliance parameters for this project within the context of
the California Title-24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. Specifically, the
HVAC loads calculations contained in this report are not intended to be used
for the purposes of sizing and/or selecting HVAC equipment. The California
Energy Commission approved computer program used to determine the
heating and cooling loads presented in this report uses an ASHRAE method as
mandated by the California Energy Commission, and is therefore very
accurate. If the information given to the author of this report is accurate, and
the building is built as per the plans given to the author, then the load
calculations presented in the report can be assumed to be as accurate as
anyone can expect. A mechanical contractor may use these calculations as a
starting point in system sizing and selection.
Final HVAC sizing and selection should be done by a licensed mechanical
engineer or mechanical contractor. Many factors beyond the scope of this
report .must be considered prior to final system selection and design, such as:
exact equipment availability and selection, system controls and location of
controls, system air distribution and cycling, Uniform Building Code
requirements, Uniform Mechanical Code requirements, and many other
standard design conventions as listed by the American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
Newton Energy and the author of these calculations therefore assume no
liability for final equipment selection or final system design. After proper
system design, and prior to any system purchase or installation, please inform
us in writing of any changes which may alter the assumptions and calculations
contained in this report.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen:
In accordance with your authorization, we have completed the subject investigation for the
proposed one-story house addition at the subject site. The work was performed within the
terms 'of your authorization using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under
similar circumstances by geotechnical engineers practicing in this locality, and in accordance
with generally accepted foundation engineering procedures. The investigation included
review of past soil and geologic reports prepared by us in 2009 and 2012, excavation of one
additional test trench T-3, specific field soil and bedrock logging, and engineering analyses
summarized herein. In the opinion of the undersigned, the accompanying updated report has
been substantiated by the available field and laboratory data, and presents the design
information you requested.
Introduction
This additional investigation was made for the purpose of obtaining information on the
subsurface soil and bedrock conditions in the area of the proposed house addition on which to
base conclusions and recommendations for suitable foundation designs for the proposed house
addition at the subject property. It is our understanding that the proposed structure is to
consist of a one-story, light wood frame, residential building construction. The proposed
house addition is to be located on the south side of the existing residence.
Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen - 2 - February 21, 2013
In 2009, a soil investigation and report was performed by us for the house additions and house
remodeling at the subject site. This report was reviewed and approved by the County of Los
Angeles. The house additions and house remodeling had been constructed and final was
issued by the County of Los Angeles in 2010. All foundations for support of the house
additions and house remodeling were founded into firm bedrock.
In 2012, a stable and four new retaining walls were proposed in the eastern descending slope
area. A geotechnical report was prepared by us for the stable and the walls. This report has
been reviewed and approved by the County of Los Angeles. Construction of the stable and
new retaining walls is underway at the time of this writing.
The vicinity map of the subject site is shown on Plate 1. The on -site topographic map is
shown on Plate 2.
This updated report is not intended as a bidding document, and any contractors reviewing this
report should draw their own conclusions regarding required construction quantities and
procedures.
Field and Laboratory Investiaation
On February 18, 2013, one additional exploratory hand -dug test trench. T-3, was excavated at
the location as shown on the attached Plate 2. Cross section B-B', drawn through the area of
the proposed house addition, is shown in Plate 3. The earth materials encountered were
logged by us as shown in the attached Trench Logs presented in Plate 4.
Intact soil samples were obtained from the precious geotechnical investigation. Samples were
returned to our laboratory for determination of their in -situ moisture content and density,
classification, direct shear, expansion index, chemical testing and other appropriate testing.
The laboratory test results and test trenches for the precious investigation is attached in
Appendix A.
One test trench T-3 was excavated in the area of the proposed house addition. Blanket fill,
approximately 2 feet thick, was encountered. The encountered fill consisted of dark brown
and black, moist to very moist, moderately soft, silty clay and adobe clay with abundant
bedrock fragments. Below the blanket fill, bedrock was •encountered. The bedrock,
encountered at the depth of approximately 2 feet to the depth of the trench explored,
consisted of a light brown, gray, and yellowish brown, moist, well -bedded, siliceous shale and
diatomaceous shale interbedded.
Bedrock outcrops were observed near the new retaining walls which are to be located on the
east side of the proposed house addition. The retaining walls are under construction at the
time of this wiring. Bedrock outcrops exposed on the cuts for the construction of the walls.
T.I.N. ENGINEERING COMPANY GEOTECHNICAL • STRUCTURAL • ENVIRONMENTAL
Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen - 3 - February 21, 2013
Locations of the observed bedrock outcrops are shown on Topographic Map, Plate 2. A
dipping bedding condition was observed on the cuts.
The observed bedrock bedding, shown on the test trench T-3, was striking North and South
and dipping approximately 8 degrees to West. The encountered bedrock bedding was dipping
into the slope which provides a favorable geologic condition for the proposed house addition.
No groundwater was encountered, nor were any springs or seeps observed during the course
of this investigation. However, it should be noted that fluctuations in the level of the ground
water may occur due to variations in rainfall, temperature, and other factors not evident at the
time of our study.
Corrosion Potential
Chemical laboratory tests were conducted on the existing soil materials obtained from the
prior exploratory trenches during the field investigation in 2009 for evaluation of a potential
of soil corrosion and the attach on concrete by sulfate soils. The testing results are re-
presented below:

Conclusions and Recommendations
Based upon our evaluation of the site and soil conditions, the foregoing data and information,
the following conclusions and recommendations are made. Construction of the proposed
house addition is feasible from the standpoint of geotechnical engineering practice at the
subject site, provided all recommendations and conditions made herein are incorporated into
all design. The thickness of earth materials and the depths to foundation stratum indicated in
this report are based on the data obtained from the exploratory trenches excavated in 2009
and 2013 and the observed bedrock outcrops. The actual thickness of earth materials and
depths to foundation stratum between the exploratory trenches and the observed bedrock
outcrops may vary from that indicated herein. The design and construction procedures should
take this into account.
1. The proposed house addition, should be founded„ on spread footings penetrating intoflrrn
bedrock as specified as below. The depth to the firm bedrock in the area of the proposed
T.I.N. ENGINEERING COMPANY GEOTECHNICAL • STRUCTURAL • ENVIRONMENTAL
Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen - 4 - February 21, 2013
house addition is estimated to be approximately 1 to 2 feet below the existing grade,
although it may be deeper.
2. The east side of the proposed house addition is to be located near the top of the eastern
g peolo ie condition encountered at the subject site,
to a favorable, ' � ��
g�.g
the _foundation ' setback may be reduced. We recommend that the foundations of the
descending slope. e. Due
ry y e b .. at s __... of the f c ...„
—proposed- -- feet of the slope
as shown_ on Section A -A , Plateo3t We estimate that the depth f the western foundations
for the support of the proposed eastern addition may be-7 feet.
3. The existing house foundations may founded into fill. If the existing house foundations
are'to be utilized for the support of the proposed house addition, underpinning the existing
house foundations with new foundations -penetrating at least 12 inches into firm bedrock
may be required.
4. The on -site bedrock was previously tested for sulfate content. Sulfate content over 150
ppm was not detected. It is recommended that type I or II cement should be utilized for
this project.
Spread Footina Foundations
Spread footings founded into firm bedrock may be used for support of the proposed house
addition. The following design criteria for new foundations are considered appropriate:
Allowable Bearing Capacity 2,500 psf
Minimum Embedment Below Lowest Adjacent Grade
and into Firm Bedrock
One -Story 12 inches
Minimum Width of Spread Foundation:
One -Story 15 inches
All continuous footings should be reinforced with a minimum of four #4 steel bars, two placed
near the top, and two placed near the bottom of the footings.
Lateral Design
Resistance to lateral loading may be provided by friction acting at the base of foundations and
by passive earth pressure within firm bedrock. An allowable coefficient of friction of 0.40
may be used with the dead load forces.
T.I.N. ENGINEERING COMPANY GEOTECHNICAL • STRUCTURAL. • ENVIRONMENTAL
Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen 5 February 21, 2013
For spread footings in firm bedrock the allowable passive earth pressure may be computed as
an equivalent fluid having a density of 600 pounds per square foot per foot with a maximum
earth pressure of 9,000 pounds per square foot.
When combining the passive and friction values for calculating the lateral resistance, the
passive component shall be reduced by one third.
The vertical and lateral bearing values indicated above are for the total of dead and all
frequently applied live loads and may be increased by one-third for short duration loading
which includes the effects of wind or seismic forces.
Seismic Coefficients
Bedrock was encountered at the subject site. The foundations of the proposed house addition
and new deck are to be founded into firm bedrock. Therefore, the following seismic
coefficients should be utilized for designs of the proposed structures at the subject site:
• Site Latitude = 33.7599, Longitude =-118.3585
• Site Class: C
• Site Coefficient, Fa = 1.0
• Site Coefficient, F„ =1.3
• Spectral Acceleration for Short Periods, Ss = 1.729
• Spectral Acceleration for a 1-Second Period, Si = 0.707
• Maximum Spectral Acceleration for Short Periods, SMs = FaSs = 1.729
• Maximum Spectral Acceleration for a 1-Second Period, SMi = F„S1 = 0.919
• Design Spectral Acceleration at Short Periods, Sns = 2/3 SMs = 1.153
• Design Spectral Acceleration at 1-Second Period, SDI = 2/3 Shin = 0.612
• Seismic Design Category: D
Foundation Settlement
Settlement of new foundation system is expected to occur on initial application of loading.
The settlement is expected to be '/ to 3/ inch, depending upon final loads. Differential
settlement is not expected to exceed 1/3 inch for a horizontal distance of 30 feet. It is
possible that the differential settlement between the existing portion of the house and the new
construction could exceed the value given above and this should be taken into account by the
structural engineers and the contractor, who should exercise care and good construction
practice during construction of the addition.

Temnorary Construction Excavations
Excavations will be required for the proposed construction. The excavation is expected to
expose on -site soil and bedrock which are not suitable for vertical excavations over five feet.
Portions of excavations over five feet should be trimmed to a 1:1 slope gradient. All
excavations should be stabilized within 30 days of initial excavation. Water should not be
allowed to pond on top of the excavation nor to flow toward it. No vehicular surcharge
should be allowed within five feet of the top of cut.
All safety provisions of Cal OSHA and other related statutory agencies should be adhered to,
especially as related to support of adjacent structures.
Temporary shoring should be designed for an active equivalent fluid pressure of 30 pounds
per cubic foot.
Temporary excavations during raining season are subject to potential hazards, such as
caving, floods, erosion, raveling of the cuts and concentrated drainage. The potential
damage from these hazards can be greatly reduced by maintenance of cuts and
drainage facilities and erosion controls in the surrounding areas of the cuts. It is the
responsibility of the owner or the project contractors to maintain the excavated areas
and to improve any deficiencies found during raining season.

Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen 7 February 21, 2013
Grading
The General Earthwork Specifications, Appendix B, should be used in preparation of the
grading plans and job specifications where engineered fills are used and constitute our
definition of an engineered fill. We should review all documents prior to submittal for
statutory permits or contracting in order to ascertain that the intents of our recommendations
are conveyed.
Drainage Control
Control of soil moisture is essential for the long term performance of improvements,
particularly those located on or near expansive soils. All roof and surface drainage should be
conducted away from the development in engineered non -erosive devices to an on -site safe
point of discharge. No site runoff drainage should be allowed to cross over the tops of slopes
except in engineered non -erosive devices.
Slabs and planted areas immediately adjacent to the dwelling or appurtenant structures should
slope away from said structures to mitigate pooling of water. All slabs and planted areas
should be sloped to drain to a safe point of collection. Slabs should have a minimum slope of
one percent and planted areas a minimum of two percent. All roof drainage should be
collected in eave gutters that discharge directly into engineered non -erosive drainage devices.
All joints in slab and swales should be maintained sealed with an appropriate joint compound.

Plan Reviews
-Final development plans should be reviewed by this office to ascertain that the general intents
of the recommendations of this report have been incorporated into the plans. Additional
'-structures not analyzed during this investigation should be reviewed by a representative of this
office.
Declaration for Comaliance with County Buildina Section 111
It is the opinion of the undersigned, based upon data obtained as outlined in this geotechnical
report and herein, that if constructed in accordance with our reconunendations, and properly
maintained, the proposed house addition construction will be safe against hazard from

EXPANSION INDEX TEST
1 Expansion soil tests were performed on samples remodeled to 90% of the maximum
density at approximately 50% saturation and allowed to absorb moisture under a
surcharge of 144 pounds per square foot. The expansion test was conducted in
accordance with Uniform Building Code Standard No. 29-2, Expansion Index Guidelines.

APPENDIX B
GENERAL GRADING
The following guidelines should be used in preparation of any grading plans and job
specifications where engineered fills are used and retaining walls backfilled. We should
review all documents prior to submittal for statutory permits or contracting in order to
ascertain that the intent of our recommendations is conveyed.
1. The area to receive compacted fill shall be stripped of all vegetation, debris, existing
fill, and soft or disturbed soils, The excavated areas shall be reviewed by the
geotechnical engineer in the field prior to placing controlled, compacted fill..
2. The exposed grade shall then be benched, appropriately graded, scarified to a depth of
six inches, moistened to optimum moisture and recolnpacted to 90 percent of the
maxilnuin density.
3. The excavated on -site materials are considered satisfactory for reuse in the engineered
fill. Remove any organic trash or deleterious materials. Remove boulders larger than
6 inches.
. Soil shall be spread evenly in layers not to exceed 4 inches while loose for compaction
by wackers. Add water as required. Only approved compaction equipment shall be
used.
5. The fill shall be compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum laboratory density
for the material used. The maximum density shall be determined by ASTM D 1557-
00.
6. Periodic on -site construction reviews and field tests shall be performed by the
geotechnical engineer during grading to assist the contractor in obtaining the required
degree of compaction and the proper moisture content. Where compaction is less than
required, additional compactive effort should be made with adjustment of the moisture
content, or the layer stripped out and replaced in thinner layer, as necessary, until a
minimum of 90 percent relative compaction is obtained. The contractor shall call the
soil engineer to test every two feet of vertical lift.
7. No fill soils shall be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. When work is
interrupted by rains, fill operation shall not be resumed until the field tests by the soils
engineer indicate that the moisture content and density of the fill are as previously
specified.
