November, 0 Mr. Andrew Ruleford, Project Manager Cherokee Nation Construction Resources, LLC 88 East Marshall Street, Suite 0 Tulsa, Oklahoma 76 Subject: Preliminary Subsurface Exploration Letter Proposed Additions Project No.: 809 Dear Mr. Ruleford In accordance with your request, Kleinfelder has completed the authorized soil borings and laboratory testing for the above referenced project. The services provided were in general accordance with our Proposal TUL P0879 dated November, 0. At this time, the location, number of stories, type of building, and loading conditions are not available. The exact location of the parking area is also not available. A grading plan has not been developed. However, the proposed building additions and parking areas will be added to the east and south side of the existing hospital building. The purpose of the preliminary geotechnical engineering services is to obtain general subsurface conditions (soil types, depth to bedrock) and evaluate suitable foundation types for the proposed additions. Foundation recommendations (bearing capacity, bearing depth, etc) are beyond the scope of this project, and a detailed geotechnical investigation will be performed when the location and details of the proposed additions are developed. Kleinfelder conducted the field work on November 0, 0, which consisted of seven (7) borings that extended to approximate depths of.0 feet below the existing grade or auger refusal. The approximate location of the site is presented on the attached Plate, Site Location Diagram. The borings were performed near the locations indicated on the proposal TULP0879, and are presented on the attached Plate, Boring Location Diagram. Elevations at the boring locations were not available. The borings were performed with a track mounted (CME-C) rotary drill rig using solid flight augers to advance the borings. Samples were obtained by performing a Standard Penetration test (SPT) using a -inch O.D. split-barrel sampler. Split-barrel sampling was conducted in general accordance with ASTM D86 (Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils). The split-barrel sampler is driven into the bottom of the boring over an 8-inch sampling interval by a -pound hammer that is dropped a distance of 0 inches. A CME automatic SPT hammer with an approximate hammer efficiency of 76 percent was used to advance the split-barrel TULL098 Page of December, 0 Copyright 0 Kleinfelder Interchange Business Park, 8 East Independence, Suite, Tulsa, OK 76-680 p 98.67.66 f 98.67.66
sampler. The SPT N-value, recorded on the boring logs, is the number of blows required to drive the split-barrel sampler the final inches of the 8-inch sampling interval. Boring B- was drilled in an existing gravel covered parking area with approximately -inches of gravel surfacing. Approximately to inches of topsoil was encountered at the surface in Borings B- to B-7. Native soils encountered below the gravel and topsoil were generally comprised of clay and gravel with varying amounts of silt, sand, and chert and limestone gravels and cobbles, and extended to the bottom of the borings. Auger refusal was encountered in Boring B- at a depth of approximately twelve feet below the existing ground surface in chert cobbles. Generally, the upper layers of the native soils were firm to hard, overlaying loose materials encountered in the lower portion of the borings. Silty, clayey sand with a relative density of loose to very dense was encountered in Boring B-. Sand and gravel with relative densities of loose to very dense were encountered in Borings B- through B-7. Bedrock was not encountered within the exploration limits. No groundwater was encountered within the borings at the completion of drilling. However, the materials encountered in the test borings can have a wide range of permeability, and observations over an extended period of time, through use of piezometers or cased borings, would be required to better define groundwater conditions. Fluctuations of groundwater levels can occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff, and other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. The possibility of groundwater level fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the project. Field logs included visual classification of the materials encountered during drilling, as well as drilling characteristics. Our final boring logs represent the engineer s interpretation of the field logs combined with laboratory observation and testing of the samples. Stratification boundaries indicated on the boring logs were based on observations during our field work, an extrapolation of information obtained by examining samples from the borings, and comparisons to soils with similar engineering characteristics. Locations of these boundaries are approximate, and the transitions between material types may be gradual rather than clearly defined. Copies of the boring logs are attached. Atterberg limits and sieve analysis tests were performed on selected samples for classification purposes. Additional testing/observation of the samples were limited to moisture content and visually classifying the subsurface materials. Laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable standards. The results of the tests are presented on the respective boring logs. Boring logs included in this appendix present such data as soil and bedrock descriptions, depths, sampling intervals, and observed groundwater conditions. Conditions encountered in each of the borings were monitored and recorded by the drill crew. The site is generally sloping downward to the south. It is anticipated that cut on the north, and fill on the south will be required to achieve the final design grade. However, the amounts of cut and fill are not available at this time. Based on the results of field exploration and laboratory testing, it is our opinion that a shallow foundation system could be used for a one to two-story structure, provided that the structural loadings are relatively light to moderate (column loads less than 0 kips). A multi-floor structure with moderate to heavy structural loads may require a drilled pier foundation system. The shallow foundation system which includes spread and wall footings can be constructed with conventional grading and construction techniques. The drilled pier foundation system will require more difficult drilling techniques to penetrate through the subsurface layers with gravel and cobbles. TULL098 Page of December, 0 Copyright 0 Kleinfelder
Casing maybe required for the installation of drilled pier foundation system to prevent the cave-in of the gravel and cobbles. It is anticipated that fills higher than feet will result in the settlement of the subsurface soils. Settlement monitoring will be required to ensure that primary settlement of the subsurface materials is completed prior to the construction of the proposed buildings and structures supported on the fill materials. When the building and parking layout are delineated, a detailed subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering services should be performed. Depending on the structural loading, the geotechnical exploration depths will need to be modified to obtain sufficient samples of subsurface conditions. For structures with light to moderate building loads, and with cut no more than feet, it is recommended to extend the geotechnical borings to a minimum depth of 0 feet below the proposed final grade. For structures with moderate to heavy loads, or where proposed cut exceeds feet to achieve the final grade, the borings should extend to the top of bedrock. At this time, it is difficult to estimate the depth to bedrock, but it is anticipated to be within 0 feet of the existing ground surface. ******************************************************************************************************************** Recommendations contained in this report are based on our field observations and subsurface explorations, limited laboratory tests, and our present knowledge of the proposed construction. It is possible that subsurface conditions could vary between or beyond the points explored. If subsurface conditions are encountered during construction that differ from those described herein, we should be notified immediately in order that a review may be made and any supplemental recommendations provided. If the scope of the proposed construction, including the proposed loads or structural locations, changes from that described in this report, our recommendations should also be reviewed. We have prepared this report in substantial accordance with the generally accepted geotechnical engineering practice as it exists in the site area at the time of our study.
