Rosen, Final Design Project Manager Metro Design, Waters Edge R. Lamb, Foundations Project Engineer Foundations Unit G. Person, Foudations Engineer Foundations Unit SP TH 169 MSE Wall N169RW2 Located at the NE quadrant of proposed TH 169 and CSAH 81 Foundation Investigation and Recommendations Subsurface Investigation Information The foundation soils for the wall consist of an upper -0 ft. layer of medium dense to dense sands with some gravel followed by stiff semicohesive soils (Sandy Loam). These soils are underlain by more medium dense to very dense sands. Water was encountered approximately 2 ft. below the existing ground surface. Please refer to the attached boring logs for a more complete description of the foundation soils. Foundation Analysis Wall Loading: 2 ft. Live Load Surcharge Wall Type: MSE Wall The mechanically stabilized earth wall (MSE wall) is assumed to vary in height from -34 ft. Allowable Bearing capacities for the foundation soils were calculated assuming a footing width equal to 0.7H (wall height), a unit weight of fill of 12 pcf and a safety factor of 2.. Based on our analysis, the foundation soils (compacted granular fill) have adequate bearing capacities to support this MSE wall. No subcut is necessary. Estimated Settlement Wall settlements were estimated based on the overall embankment construction settlements assuming fill heights of -34 ft. Our analysis was based on a Boussinesq stress distribution. This settlement analysis considered both lateral settlement and transverse settlement. Based on our analysis, we estimate that the wall will settle 2- in. with a maximum differential settlement of less than 1 in. per ft, as specified by code. The majority of this settlement should occur during construction and backfilling operations, however, up to 1 in. of settlement within the clayey sand layers is anticipated to take up to one month to dissipate. Foundation Recommendations Wall Station Foundation Type Entire Wall Spread Footing *Proposed Subcut Subcut *Subcut depth measure from top of leveling pad Backfill Material Allowable Soil Bearing Capacity Estimated Settlement n/a n/a 4-12 ksf 2- in. Additional Recommendations: 1. Topsoil and other organic material should be removed from areas where fill is to be placed. 2. The walls should be backfilled according to the attached Diagram MSEW-1 3. The leveling pad should be buried a minimum of 2.0 ft. below the final ground line. 4. The MSE wall should be supported with a spread footing foundation placed on compacted granular embankment fill.

7 Minnesota Department of Transportation Geotechnical Section Boring Log Descriptive Terminology (English Units) USER NOTES, ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS - Additional information available in Geotechnical Manual. This boring was made by ordinary and conventional methods and with care deemed adequate for the Department's design purposes. Since this boring was not taken to gather information relating to the construction of the project, the data noted in the field and recorded may not necessarily be the same as WH... Weight of Hammer WR... Weight of Rod Mud... Drilling Fluids in Sample CS... Continuous Sample very loose loose...- medium dense dense very dense...>0 that which a contractor would desire. While the Consistency - Cohesive Soils BPF Department believes that the information as to the conditions and materials reported is accurate, it does not warrant that the information is necessarily complete. This information has been edited or abridged and may not reveal all the information which might be useful or of interest to the contractor. Consequently, the Department will make available very soft soft firm...-8 stiff very stiff hard very hard...> 60 at its offices, the field logs relating to this boring. Since subsurface conditions outside each borehole are unknown, and soil, rock and water conditions cannot be relied upon to be consistent or uniform, no warrant is made that conditions adjacent to this boring will necessarily be the same as or similar to those shown on this log. Furthermore, the Department will not be responsible for any interpretations, assumptions, projections or interpolations made by contractors, or other users of this log. Water levels recorded on this log should be used with discretion since the use of drilling fluids in borings may seriously distort the true field conditions. Also, water levels in cohesive soils often take extended periods of time to reach equilibrium and thus reflect their true field level. Water levels can be expected to vary both seasonally and yearly. The absence of notations on this log regarding water does not necessarily mean that this boring was dry or that the contractor will not encounter subsurface water during the course of construction.

14 This Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Sounding follows ASTM D 778 and was made by ordinary and conventional methods and with care deemed adequate for the Department's design purposes. Since this sounding was not taken to gather information relating to the construction of the project, the data noted in the field and recorded may not necessarily be the same as that which a contractor would desire. While the Department believes that the information as to the conditions and materials reported is accurate, it does not warrant that the information is necessarily complete. This information has been edited or abridged and may not reveal all the information which might be useful or of interest to the contractor. Consequently, the Department will make available at its offices, the field logs relating to this sounding. Minnesota Department of Transportation Geotechnical Section Cone Penetration Test Index Sheet 1.0 (CPT 1.0) USER NOTES, ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS This Index sheet accompanies Cone Penetration Test Ratio of sleeve friction over corrected tip Data. Please refer to the Boring Log Descriptive resistance. Terminology Sheet for information relevant to FR = fs/qt conventional boring logs. Vs Shear Wave Velocity A measure of the speed at which a siesmic wave travels through soil/rock. PORE WATER MEASUREMENTS Pore water measurements reported on CPT Log are representative of water pressures measured at the U2 location, just behind the cone tip, prior to the sleeve, as shown in the figure below. These measurements are considered to be dynamic water pressures due to the local disturbance caused by the cone tip. Dynamic water pressure decay and Static water pressure measurements are reported on a Pore Water Pressure Dissipation Graph. Since subsurface conditions outside each CPT Sounding are unknown, and soil, rock and water conditions cannot be relied upon to be consistent or uniform, no warrant is made that conditions adjacent to this sounding will necessarily be the same as or similar to those shown on this log. Furthermore, the Department will not be responsible for any interpretations, assumptions, projections or interpolations made by contractors, or other users of this log. U2 Robertson CPTU 1990 Soil Behavior type based on pore pressure Water pressure measurements and subsequent interpreted water levels shown on this log should be used with discretion since they represent dynamic conditions. Dynamic Pore water pressure measurements may deviate substantially from hydrostatic conditions, especially in cohesive soils. In cohesive soils, water pressures often take extended periods of time to reach equilibrium and thus reflect their true field level. Water levels can be expected to vary both seasonally and yearly. The absence of notations on this log regarding water does not necessarily mean that this boring was dry or that the contractor will not encounter subsurface water during the course of construction. CPT Terminology CPT...Cone Penetration Test CPTU...Cone Penetration Test with Pore Pressure measurements SCPTU...Cone Penetration Test with Pore Pressure and Seismic measurements Piezocone...Common name for CPTU test (Note: This test is not related to the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer DCP) qt TIP RESISTANCE The resistance at the cone corrected for water pressure. Data is from cone with 60 degree apex angle and a cm 2 end area. fs SLEEVE FRICTION RESISTANCE The resistance along the sleeve of the penetrometer. FR Friction Ratio SBT SOIL BEHAVIOR TYPE Soil Classification methods for the Cone Penetration Test are based on correlation charts developed from observations of CPT data and conventional borings. Please note that these classification charts are meant to provide a guide to Soil Behavior Type and should not be used to infer a soil classification based on grain size distribution. The numbers corresponding to different regions on the charts represent the following soil behavior types: 1. Sensitive, Fine Grained 2. Organic Soils - Peats 3. Clays - Clay to Silty Clay 4. Silt Mixtures - Clayey Silt to Silty Clay. Sand Mixtures - Silty Sand to Sandy Silt 6. Sands - Clean Sand to Silty Sand 7. Gravelly Sand to Sand 8. Very Stiff Sand to Clayey Sand 9. Very Stiff, Fine Grained Note that engineering judgment, and comparison with conventional borings is especially important in the proper interpretation of CPT data in certain geomaterials.
