iii) Detailed description of any fill material encountered.
iv) Ground water elevation at least 24 hours after boring is completed.
v) Rock classification and elevation of bed rock.
vi) Number of blows required for each 150 mm (6 in.).
c) Comment on applicable foundations to support the proposed structure and
determine the allowable soil bearing value at the recommended depth. Discuss the
influence of water table on design values. If deep foundations are recommended,
include the allowable skin friction and bearing values for the acceptable deep
foundations.
d) If the use of deep foundations is warranted, recommendations shall include
installation and testing requirements. Potential construction problems associated
with deep foundations, suggested installation methods and equipment shall also be
discussed. Criteria for lateral load shall be discussed in the report.
e) Recommend the value of active and passive soil pressures on structures retaining
earth.
f) Determine depth required for protection from frost.
g) Site and rock removal methods, equipment and difficulties anticipated during
excavation shall be discussed.
h) Recommendations for site improvements, ground water control, and treatment of in-
place soils for the support of slab on grade.
9. Perform tests as required to comment on the control of ground water during the
construction phase and for the completed building.
10. Include within the report any other factors, i.e. underground utilities, that could influence
the design of the proposed construction.
