Reference Number 0000254733 Question Deadline 08/31/2023 at 5:00 PM ET Prepare a Geotechnical Report including recommendations and test results for the following: .1 Appropriate types of foundations. .2 Factored Bearing resistance at Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and at Serviceability Limit State (SLS) at stated elevations, and the anticipated uniform and differential settlements. Advise if weight of footing and soil above footing should be included when calculating footing bearing pressure in order to check against allowable bearing pressure. .3 Probable depth of rock surface to be removed to establish sound bearing, if foundations bear on rock. .4 Minimum depths at which foundations shall be founded. Minimum depth of soil required above bearing elevations, if this is a design requirement for bearing capacity. Frost protection for foundations. .5 Allowable bond stress for the design of permanent rock anchors. .6 Unit density of soil and coefficients of active and passive earth pressures for design of members resisting lateral loads. Coefficient of friction for footings on soil. .7 Permanent perimeter and under-floor drainage requirements, including estimate of the amount of ground water to be pumped. .8 Suitability of the soil on site to support slabs-on-grade and paved areas. .9 Suitability of the soil on site for use as compacted fill under slabs-on-grade and paved areas. Method of compaction. .10 Suitability of the soil on site for use as backfill to exterior walls. Method of compaction. .11 Backfilling requirements including types of imported fill and levels of compaction 12 Recommended methods of dewatering during construction if a high water table is encountered. .13 Any unusual problems likely to arise during excavation or during construction of foundations.
