Attn: Mr. Mike Ficke

Fort Worth, Texas
Gentlemen:
This letter serves as our report of subsurface conditions at the
referenced project. This project is Identified by your Project Number
36-041- 012-00 and index Code 675538. The purpose of this study has been
to determine general subsurface stratigraphy and to establish the engineer-
Ing properties of the materials encountered. Results of field and labora-
tory testing have been used to develop engineering recommendations appro-
priate for the design and construction foundations for the light standards
at Gateway Park.
To accomplish the mentioned purpose, six test borings were drilled to
the 20-foot depth. Boring locations and depths were selected by Mr. Mike
Ficke of the Park and Recreation Department. Field exploration was con-
ducted on December 3, 1984.
Based on available geologic information, Gateway Park lies within allu-
vial soils. These materials, consisting of clays, sandy clays and sands
have been deposited as a result of the nearby Trinity River.
With the exception of Borings 2, 3, the very bottom of Boring 4 and
Boring 6 the predominate soils consist of clays and sandy clays. These
materials are generally dark brown, brown and tan In color, moderately
plastic and are relatively stiff In consistency. The previously mentioned
borings were exceptions and contained non-plastic or low plasticity sands
and gravels.
Specific types, depths and characteristics of the materials encountered
are Illustrated on the attached Cogs of Borings.
City of Fort Worth
December 20, 1984
Page 2
Groundwater seepage was encountered within Boring 4 at the 18-foot
depth. Seepage may often be observed within alluvial soils as perched or
entrapped pockets of moisture. The presence of the Trinity River and sea-
sonal moisture conditions may also contribute to the presence of seepage.
Foundation support for light standards may be provided by drilled
straight-shaft or underreamed piers. Piers founded at a depth of 15 feet
may be proportioned utilizing an allowable end bearing pressure of 5,000
pounds per square foot or less.
The surficial soils are moderately expansive soils, capable of
producing swelling pressures if restrained and given free access to
moisture. With decreasing moisture content, significant volume changes
(shrinkage) may also be anticipated. Because of these conditions the first
four feet below the ground surface should not be considered when determin-
ing resisting lateral earth pressures. For design purposes the passive
earth pressure should not exceed 200 pounds per square foot of pier shaft
area, per foot of pier embedment.
If an underreamed pier is considered for design and in the event that
overturn movements are sufficient so as to cause displacement of the under-
reams, the additional weight of the soil over the underream may also be
considered when determining the overturn resistance. A wet unit weight of
125 pounds per cubic foot is considered appropriate for materials at this
site.
These Items are the criteria which are normally required for design of
foundations for lighting standards. If further information becomes neces-
sary, please call . it has been a pleasure to provide this information.

(or section) will then be pressurized during a six (6) hour
period to the operating pressure indicated on the drawings.
The pressure will be maintained for a 24-hour leak test
period. Allowable leakage in the piping system is to be
determined by the formula:
L - .54 x 10-3 ND (p)
L - allowable leakage in gallons per hour.
N - number of joints in the length of pipe test
D • nominal diameter of pipe in inches.
p • average test pressure during leak test in psi gauge.

plus the free water in the aggregate or sinus the amount of water
needed to compensate for absorption by the aggregates. Free
water or absorption determination# will be based on the condition
of the aggregates at the time used. The absorption test will be
based on a thirty (30) minute absorption period. So water allow-
ance will be mad* for evaporation after b*tching.

prior to the start of concreting operations, the Contractor shall
submit to the Engineer a design of the concrete mix he proposes
to use together with samples of all materials to be incorporated
into the mix and a full description of the source of supply of

specifications. All material samples submitted to the Engineer
shall be sufficiently large to permit laboratory batching for the
construction of test beams to check the adequacy of the design.
When the design mix has been approved by the Engineer, there
shall be no change or deviation from the proportions thereof or
sources of supply except as hereinafter provided. No concrete
may be placed on the job site until the six design has been ap-
proved by the Engineer in writing to the Contractor.

the Plans and shall be adequately secured in position by con-
crete, metal, or plastic chairs and spacers. Bar splices shall
overlap at least twelve (12") inches. The reinforcing bars shall
be bent cold.
3.02 JOINTS
A. Expansion Joints: Expansion joint materials shall be installed
perpendicular to the surface. The bottom edge of the material
shall extend to or slightly below the bottom edge of the slab and
the top edge shall be held approximately one-half (1/2") inch
below the surface of the slab. The edge of joints shall be
tooled with edging tool having one-fourth (1/4") inch radius.
B. Construction Joints: Construction joints shall be installed in
all concrete work at the locations shown on the Plans. Construc-
tion joints formed at the close of each day's work shall be
located at any of the control joints designated on the Plans.
Joints may be constructed by use of wood or preformed metal bulk-
y heads sot true to the section of the finished concrete and
cleaned and oiled. Surplus concrete on the subgrade shall be re-
ed before resuming concreting operations.
03300-1
3.03 PLACING CONCRETE
A. Placement of Concrete: The concrete shall be rapidly deposited on
the subgrade immediately after mixing is completed. Subgrade and
forms shall be dampened prior to placement of the concrete. The
concrete shall be transported, placed and spread in such a manner
as to prevent segregation of the aggregate or an excess amount of
water and fine materials to be brought to the surface. No con-
crete shall be placed when the air temperature is less than forty
degrees Fahrenheit (40*F.) nor when the temperature of the con-
crete is eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit (85*F. ) or higher, with-
out approval of Public Works Inspector.
Placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is
at all times plastic and flows readily into the space between the
bars. No concrete that has partially hardened or that has been
contaminated by foreign material shall be deposited in the work
nor shall retempered concrete by used. Each section of pavement
between expansion and construction joints shall be placed mono-
lithically. Concrete for retaining wells shall be poured in six
(6") inch lifts.
All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by suitable means dur-
ing the operation of placing and shall be thoroughly worked
around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into the corners
of the forms. Special care shall be taken to prevent voids and
honeycombing. The concrete shall then be struck off and bull-
floated to the grade shown on the Plans before bleed water has an
opportunity to collect on the surface.
3.04 FINISHING
A. Finishing Concrete: All concrete shall be finished by experienc-
ed, qualified concrete finishers. All concrete shall have a
nest, rounded edge. Edging and jointing (radius described on
Plans) shall be accomplished with care so as not to leave deep
impression* in the concrete surface adjacent to edges and
joints. After the concrete has been floated and has set suffici-
ently to support the weight of cement finishers, a smooth steel
trowel will be used to produce a hard surface. The entire sur-
face will then be brushed with a stiff bristle broom to produce a
uniform textured finish. All edges and sides of concrete exposed
to view shall be free of warp and blemishes with a uniform tex-
ture and smoothness as described in Plans.
0330-4
3.05 WRING
Curing Compound: Immediately after the finishing operations, the
concrete shall be completely covered with a curing compound. The
concrete surface *hall be kept moist between finishing operations
and the application of the curing compound. The curing compound
shall be applied under pressure by means of a spray nozzle at a
rate not to exceed two hundred (200) square feet per gallon. A
minimum of seventy-two (72) hours curing time will be required.
