(Terracon) has completed the geotechnical engineering services for the referenced project. This study was performed in general accordance with our proposal number P95140346 (Revised), dated May 28, 2014. This report presents the findings of the subsurface exploration and provides geotechnical recommendations concerning the design and construction of foundations for the proposed project. Project Description The project site is located at 310 Gulf Stream Road in Fort Worth, Texas. It is planned to construct a new, two-story structure with an approximate footprint of 19,859 square feet. The building will have a structurally supported floor slab with a void space between the slab and underlying soil. We understand that the maximum column loads will be on the order of 120 kips. Fill materials have been placed at the site to develop the pad prior to our investigation. Field Exploration Description Subsurface conditions were explored by drilling two borings to depth of about 40 feet at the approximate location indicated on the Boring Location Plan on Exhibit A-1. The borings were performed using a truck -mounted drill rig. Samples of the soils encountered in the boring were obtained using thin -walled tube and split -barrel sampling procedures. The samples were tagged for identification, sealed to reduce moisture loss, and taken to the laboratory. The load carrying capacity of the bedrock in the borings was evaluated utilizing the Texas Department of Transportation cone penetration test. Field Togs of the borings were prepared by the drill crew. These logs include visual classifications of the materials encountered as well as interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. The boring Togs included with this letter represent the engineer's interpretation of the field logs and includes modifications based on visual evaluation of the Ter'acon Consultants, Inc. 2501 East Loop 820 North Fort Worth, Texas 76118 Registration No. F-3272 P [817] 268 8600 F (817) 268 8602 terracon.com Environmental 0 Facilities • Geotechnical • Materials Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services FWPD Aviation Administration Building Fort Worth, Texas May 30, 2014 Terracon Project Number 95145056 lierrecon samples. The boring logs are presented on Exhibits A-2 and A-3. General notes to log terms and symbols are presented on Exhibit A-4 Subsurface Conditions Fill materials consisting of dark brown and brown clays with limestone and concrete fragments were present to depths of about 12 to 17 feet in the borings. Tan and gray fat and lean clays with calcareous deposits and nodules and limestone layers were present beneath the fill materials to depths of about 22 and 23 feet. Tan limestone with clay layers was then encountered and extended to a depth of about 29 feet. Gray limestone with shale layers was then encountered in the borings and extended to the boring termination depths of about 40 feet. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling or at completion of drilling the borings. Discussion The proposed building can be supported on straight drilled shafts situated in the gray limestone that was present at a depth of about 29 feet in the borings. Drilled shaft design recommendations are provided below. Design Parameter Bearing stratum Allowable end bearing Allowable skin friction -compression Allowable skin friction -tension Minimum penetration to develop end bearing Penetration to develop skin friction Minimum center to center spacing to develop full skin friction Groups of 3 or more shafts spaced closer than 2.5 shaft diameters Recommendation Gray limestone 50,000 psf 7,500 psf 6,000 psf 2 feet or 1 shaft diameter, whichever is greater Depth below any temporary casing set in limestone 2.5 times the diameter of the larger shaft. Closer spacing may require some reduction in skin friction and/or changes in installation sequences and should be evaluated by Terracon. As a general reduction guide: varies linearly from the 100% value at a spacing of 2.5 diameters to 50% of the design value at 1.0 diameter. Should be evaluated on a case by case basis by Terracon. Alternative installation sequences may be needed to allow for a minimum of 48 hours concrete curing time, before installation of adjacent shafts. Minimum shaft diameter 18 inches Settlement Less than 1/2 inch for maximum Toads of 120 kips The drilled shafts may be subject to uplift as a result of heave in the overlying clay soils. The magnitude of these loads varies with the shaft diameter, soil parameters, and particularly the in - situ moisture levels at the time of construction. The shafts must contain sufficient continuous vertical reinforcing and embedment depth into the shale to resist the net tensile load. For Responsive Resourceful Reliable 2 Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services FWPD Aviation Administration Building Fort Worth, Texas May 30, 2014 Terracon Project Number 95145056 lierracon conditions encountered at the site, the uplift load can be approximated by assuming a uniform uplift of 1,800 psf over the shaft perimeter for a depth of 10 feet. The construction of all drilled shafts should be observed by experienced geotechnical personnel during construction to confirm: 1) the bearing stratum; 2) the minimum bearing depth; 3) that groundwater seepage, if encountered, is correctly handled; and 4) that the shafts are within acceptable vertical tolerance. Recommendations for drilled shaft construction are presented in the following table. Item Drilled shaft installation specification Top of shaft completion Time to complete Installation methods Groundwater control Recommendation Current version of American Concrete Institute's "Standard Specification for the Construction of Drilled Piers" ACI 336. Enlarged (mushroom -shaped) top in contact with the clays should not be allowed. Drilled shaft construction should be completed within 8 hours in a continuous manner to reduce side wall and base deterioration. Shaft excavations should be installed using dry methods. The concrete should have a slump of 6 inches plus or minus 1 inch and be placed in a manner to avoid striking the reinforcing steel during placement. Seepage was not observed in the borings, but could- be encountered during installation of the straight shafts, particularly during wet periods of the year. Rapid placement of steel and concrete may permit shaft installation to proceed; however, seepage rates could be sufficient to require the use of temporary casing for installation of the straight shafts. The casing should be seated below groundwater with all water and most loose material removed prior to beginning the design penetration. Care must then be taken that a sufficient head of plastic concrete is maintained within the casing during extraction. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project.

Coarse Grained Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; their principal descriptors are: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fine Grained Soils have less than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are principally described as clays if they are plastic, and silts if they are slightly plastic or non -plastic. Major constituents may be added as modifiers and minor constituents may be added according to the relative proportions based on grain size. In addition to gradation, coarse -grained soils are defined on the basis of their in -place relative density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their consistency. LOCATION AND ELEVATION NOTES Unless otherwise noted, Latitude and Longitude are approximately determined using a hand-held GPS device. The accuracy of such devices is variable. Surface elevation data annotated with +/- indicates that no actual topographical survey was conducted to confirm the surface elevation. Instead, the surface elevation was approximately determined from topographic maps of the area. SnREN GTH TERMS RELATIVE DENSITY OF COARSE -GRAINED SOILS (More than 50% retained on No. 200 sieve.) Density determined by Standard Penetration Resistance Includes gravels, sands and silts. CONSISTENCY OF FINE-GRAINED SOILS (50% or more passing the No. 200 sieve.)
