Re: Soils Investigation - Proposed Single Family Residence -
Located at # 6 Eastfield Drive, in the City of Rolling
Hilts, California
Dear Mr. Hauseinsen :
Pursuant to your request, this firm has performed a soils and
geotechnical investigation for the above -referenced project. The
investigation consisted of two subsurface explorations to depths
of 10.0 and 11.0 feet.
Based upon our findings, the site is considered suitable from a
soils engineering standpoint for the proposed development,
provided the recommendations of this report and the geology
report provided by Mr. Gail Hunt, Consulting Geologist, are
followed.
We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you. If you
have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned.
Respectfully submitted,

SITE CONDITIONS
Project Number 1738-89
The sire is located in a residential area and is occupied by a
single family residence and associated improvements, The parcel
is situated on a north trending ridge with a steep sided canyon
to the west.
A level pad has been cut where the existing house is located.
This pad appears to lie in a cut/fill transition. This transi-
tion zone is estimated and diagrammed on the attached plot plan.
Since a portion of the site appears to have been previously
graded, NorCal Engineering should have the opportunity to review
any pertinent reports on this grading if any are found to exist.
STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
It is proposed to construct a single family residence on the +
1.4 acre parcel. No plans detailing the exact location were
available at the time of our investigation.
Wall loads of 1,700 lbs./lin.ft. were utilized for testing and
design purposes.
On -grade parking and driveways will consist of asphaltic pavement
or concrete slabs.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The purpose of our investigation was to explore the subsurface
conditions and to provide preliminary soils engineering design
parameters for evaluation of the site with respect to the
proposed development.
Page 2 Project Number 1738-89
The field investigation consisted of the placement of two
subsurface explorations to 10.0 and 11.0 feet in depth at
accessible locations.
Test excavation one revealed 1.0 foot of disturbed native soils
overlying stiff natural soils consisting of CLAY, silty (CL) con-
taining siltstone. These soils were noted to be moist.
Siltstone bedrock was encountered at the 3.0 feet level. This
ed rock was weathered in the ton 1.0 - 1.5 feet, and was found to
be dense below this level.
Test Excavation #2 revealed fill soils consisting of CLAY, silty
(CL) containing siltstone. The top 1.0 foot of these soils was
loose and damp. Fill soils to a depth of 8.0 feet were noted to
be stiff and moist. Siltsone bedrock was. encountered at 8.0 feet.
It appears that deeper fill soils may lie to the southwest, however no test
excavations were placed in this area due to the existing tenants refusal to
let our equipment.enter this vicinity.
Disturbed and undisturbed samples of the subsurface soils were
obtained to perform laboratory testing and analysis for direct
shear, expansion index, consolidation and maximum density tests.
LABORATORY TESTS
A. The field moisture content (ASTM: D-1557-70) and the dry
density of the ring samples were determined in the labor-
atory. This data is listed on the log of excavations.
B. Maximum density tests (ASTM: D-1557-70) were performed on
typical samples of the upper soils. Results of these tests
are shown on Table I.
NorCal Engineering
Page 3 Project Number 1738-89
C. Expansion index tests in accordance with the Uniform
Building Code Standard No. 29-2 were performed on remolded
samples of the upper soils to determine the expansive
characteristics and to provide any necessary recommendations
for reinforcement of the slabs -on -grade and the foundations.
Results of these tests are provided on Table II.
D. Direct shear tests (ASTM: D-3080) were performed on
undisturbed and disturbed samples of the subsurface soils.
These tests were performed to determine parameters for the
calculation of the safe bearing capacity. The test is
performed under saturated conditions at loads of 518
lbs./sq.ft., 1,036 lbs./sq.ft., and 2,072 lbs./sq.ft. with
results shown on Plates A-C.
E. Consolidation tests (ASTM D-2435) were performed on
undisturbed samples to determine the differential and total
settlement which may be anticipated based upon the proposed
loads. Water was added to the samples at a surcharge of one
KSF and the settlement curves are plotted on Plate D.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The upper 1.0 - 8.0 feet of the disturbed top soils and fill
soils are not in a suitable condition to provide support for the
slabs -on -grade, pavement and the foundations. These soils shall
be removed to the stiff coluvial soils or the dense underlying
bedrock and the exposed surface shall be scarified, brought to
the proper moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90% of
the laboratory standard (ASTM:D-1557-70). The removed soils can
be reutilized as compacted fill once any deleterious material or
oversized materials (in excess of eight inches) is removed.

Project Number 1738-89
A keyway 18.0 inches into bedrock on the outside and 2.0 feet
into dense bedrock on the inside shall be excavated and inspected
by this firm. This keyway shall be located at the bottom of the
slope. Slope reconstruction shall consist of benches at least
8.0 feet in width, performed every 3.0 vertical feet to insure
stability of the slope area. Exact location of the keyway shall
be determined by the project geologist when final grading plans
are available.
All grading operations shall be performed in accordance with the
attached "Specifications for Compacted Fill Operations".
All backfill adjacent to a wall and in the building pour strip
should be compacted to a minimum of 900 of the maximum density.
Flooding or jetting should not be utilized in any trench or wall
backfill.
Any temporary excavation which is not properly shored should be
constructed at one horizontal to one vertical slope. Care should
be taken to provide or maintain adequate lateral support for all
adjacent improvements and structures at all times during the
grading operations and construction phase.
Further recommendations and slope stability calculations may be
necessary after the review of the finalized grading and building
plans.
In the event that the previous grading was supervised by a Soils
Engineer and reports are available, the recommendations may be
ammended.

FOUNDATION DESIGN
Conventional foundations may be designed utilizing the following
safe bearing capacities for an embedded depth of 24 inches into
compacted fill soils or competent bedrock. All foundations shall
be reinforced with a minimum of one #5 bar, top and bottom.
Allowable Safe Bearing Capacity (psf)
Foundation Continuous Isolated
Width (ft.) Foundation Foundation
1.5
1500 1850
It should be noted that foundations located along a property line
or adjacent to an easement may have to be deepened if proper
lateral support cannot be provided due to grading limitations.
SLAB RECOMMENDATIONS
All four inch slabs -on -grade should be reinforced with a minimum
of #3 bars, at 18 inches on center in both directions, positioned
in the center of the slab.
A vapor barrier should be utilized in•areas which would be
sensitive to the infiltration of moisture. This membrane should
not be placed directly beneath the concrete due to the possibili-
ty of curling of the slab.
Four inches of sand shall be utilized beneath slabs -on -grade and
the underlying subsurface soils shall be 130% of optimum moisture
content to a depth of eighteen inches, prior to pouring concrete.

RETAINING WALL DESIGN PARAMETERS
Active earth pressures against retaining walls will be equal to
the pressures developed by the following fluid densities. These
values are for granular free draining backfill where the slope of
the retained material is level and does not take into considera-
tion any surcharge:
Cantilevered Walls - 30 lbs./cu.ft.
Restrained Walls - 55 lbs./cu.ft.
The following values may be utilized in resisting lateral loads
imposed on the structure. Requirements of the current Uniform
Building Code should be adhered to when the coefficient of
friction and passive pressures are combined:
Coefficient of Friction - 0.40
Equivalent Passive Fluid Pressure = 250 lbs./cu.ft.
Maximum Passive Pressure = 2,500 lbs./sq.ft.
The passive pressure recommendations are valid only for either
competent natural ground and/or compacted fill soils.
SETTLEMENT ANALYSIS
Resultant pressure curves for the consolidation tests are shown
on Plate D. Computations utilizing these curves and the
recommended safe bearing capacities reveal that the foundations
will experience settlements on the order of 1/2 inch and
differential settlements of less than 1/4 inch.

Page 7 Project Number 1738-89
SITE STABILITY
The site is judged to be geologically stable, as explained in the
accompanying Geological report by Mr. Gail S. Hunt. However,care
should be taken to ensure the continued stability. The following
items should be adhered to during the construction phase:
A. Septic systems should be located as far from the slope•as
possible.
B. Periodic inspections by the soils engineer and geologist
should be performed during the grading phase.
Minor surficial slope failures are possible due to seismic
occurrences, however any failure should be of a minor degree.
PAVEMENT DESIGN
The upper 12 inches of the subgrade soils shall be recompacted to
a minimum of 90% relative compaction in accordance with the
attached specifications. This shall be performed prior to the
placement of the pavement section or additional compacted fill
soils. All base material shall be compacted to a minimum of 95%'
relative compaction. The pavement section design shall consist
of sections as prescribed by the local municipal codes.
Proofrolling of the subgrade should be performed prior to the
placement of base material to indicate any soft or uncompacted
areas which may require additional recommendations.

CLOSURE
Project Number 1738-89
The recommendations and conclusions contained in this report are
based upon the soil conditions uncovered in our test excavations.
No warranty of the soil condition between our excavations is
implied. NorCal Engineering should be notified for possible
further recommendations if unexpected or unfavorable conditions
are encountered during the construction phase.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all
information within this report is submitted to the Architect and
appropriate Engineers for the project. This firm should have the
opportunity to review the final plans to verify that all our
recommendations are incorporated. Our representative should be
present during the grading operations to certify that such
recommendations are complied with in the field.

Subject: Engineering Geologic investigation, Proposed Residential
Development, Number 6 Eastfield Dr. Rolling Hills, California
Project No. 1743-89
Dear Sir;
Per your request, I have conducted a engineering geologic investigation
at the subject site. The purpose vas to identify geologic factors relevant
to the proposed new single family residence and to provide engineering
geologic data for use in the design of foundations. The site vicinity is
shown on Figure 1.
The location plan of the site and the test pit locations are shown on
Figure 2.
1.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The investigation included the following steps:
Review of available geologic maps of the Palos Verdes Hills
and a report for a nearby single lot development
Field geologic examination of the site
- Subsurface investigation by two backhoe trenches
feet in depth
up to 10
Examination of aerial photographs of the site flown in 1978.
- Report preparation.
Maps and logs of trenches are contained in the Appendix to this
report.

2.0 SITE CONDITIONS
Number 6, Eastfield Dr. is an approximate 1.4 acre parcel on a North
trending ridge with a moderately steep ravine to the Northeast and a steep
sided canyon to the West. The westerly canyon trends in a northerly
direction across Palos Verdes Dr. North, while the ravine to the northeast
trends easterly towards Western ave. and the City of San Pedro.
There is a level pad cut in the materials underlying the existing
house. The estimated limits of cut and fill are shown on Figure 2.
3.0 GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
3.1 Fill
Black adobe fill containing limestone blocks and shale fragments is
present along the southerly edge of the graded pad. This material is at
least 10 feet deep over portions of the lot.
3.2 Residual Soil and Slopewash
A'thin layer of black adobe soil is present over portions of the site.
The material is likely to be expansive and may be subject to creep.
3.3 Terrace Deposits
Cleveland 1976, shows Terrace deposits overlying Altamira shale along
the gently sloping ridge at the site. These deposits were not seen, probably
because of (1) earlier site grading and landscaping, (2) the location of the
trenches and (3) the probable thin section of terrace cover. The approximate
location of the mapped Terrace deposits is also shown on Figure 2. It is
possible that Terrace deposits may be found directly under the house.
3.4 Structural Features
The site is located on the flank of one of the generally northwesterly
trending anticlines and synclines mapped by Cleveland. The strike of the
bedding measured in Test Pit 1 was N 60' W. The dip of the bedding was 35--
40' to the North. The bedding plane attitude measured in the Test Pit is
similar to regional bedding mapped by Cleveland.
4.0 SEISMICITY
No faults were found in this investigation and published geologic maps
of the area do not show any faults in or adjacent to the property. The site
does not lie in the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. Ground rupture
should therefore not be of concern.
Liquifaction and settlement are not hazards because of shallow bedrock
and a deep water table.
Earthquake induced landsliding is extremely unlikely because of the
gradual slopes and favorable geologic structure.
Limited damage by ground shaking is possible but proper design and
construction can reduce this hazard. The following table lists the
historically active faults which could be a source of earthquakes affecting
the site.
Table 1 LOCAL FAULTS AND ASSOCIATED EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDES

Distance Maximum Credible Earthquake
Magnitude
12 mi NE 7.0
26 mi N 7.5
30 mi NE 7.5
36 mi NE 6.5
55 mi NE 8.2
In addition to these faults which have been historically active, the
Cabrillo Fault is located approximately 1/4 mile to the South and the Palos
Verdes Fault is located about 3 miles to the Northeast. These faults are
also considered potential sources of earthquakes which might affect the
site.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It is my professional opinion that the proposed development of a single
family residence is feasible. Based upon the findings of this investigation
the following recommendations and conclusions are submitted.
1. The bedding plane attitudes, the site inspection and the examination
of the aerial photographs did not disclose adverse geologic conditions.
2. The depth to bedrock varies across the site. Figure 3 is a cross-
section which shows depth to bedrock ranging to 5 feet or more under the
existing house. The soil and rock conditions directly underlying the house
were not determined during this study and it is possible that bedrock may be
encountered at shallow depths. If a section of Terrace deposits is
encountered during grading, these materials may also provide adequate
strength and settlement properties.
3. The site should be inspected during site grading to assure that
geologic features of significance to the development of the property are
considered.
4. It is recommended that an Engineering Geologist review the proposed
grading and construction plans as soon as they become available.
5. The site is judged to be geologically stable and thus safe for
construction of a new residence on the existing pad. The proposed
construction should have no adverse affect on property outside the site.
6.0 CLOSING REMARKS
•The conclusions and recommendations contained in this evaluation are
based on site inspection, aerial photography interpretation,logs of
trenches and published reports. It is possible that different evaluations
could be made based upon this data or additional data from site grading
which could affect development of the lot. It is the responsibility of the
owner or developer to bring to our attention any other data or unusual
conditions which may be encountered during site grading.
If you have any questions regarding this report please do not hesitate
to call.
Respectfully submitted,
