L-1 CHANGE ORDER. The Owner, without
invalidating the Contract, may order Changes in the Work

additions, deletlons or other revisions, the Cont�act Sum
and the�Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. All Such
Changes in the Work shall be authorized by Change Order,
and shall be executed under the applicable conditions of the
Contract Documents. .
A Change Order is a written order to the Contractor signed
by the Contractor, Owner and the Architect, issued after the
execution of the Contract, authorizing a Change in the Work
or adjustment in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time.
The Contract Sum and the Contract Time may be changed
only by Change Order.
Any changes in work required due to changed or unforeseen
conditions, or by request of either the Contractor or the City,
shall be coordinated with the Director, Department oi
Transportation and Public Works. A change order must be
written and duly negotiated and executed prior to performing
changed work.
The cost or credit to the Owner resulting from a Change fn
the Fort Worth shall be deterrnined in one or more o� the
following ways:
1) by mutual acceptance of a lump sum property itemized, :�
including the allowance to Contractor for ovefiead and
profit stipulated in the original contract proposal;
2) by unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or
subsequently agreed upon; or
3) by cost and a mutually acceptable fixed or percentage
fee.
If none of the methods set forth herein above is agreed
upon, the Contractor, provided he receives a Change Order,
shall promptly proceed with the Work invulved. The cost of
such work shall then be determined on the basis of the
Contractor's reasonable expenditures and savings, includiny
a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit as indicted
in the original contract proposal. In such cases, the
Contractor shall keep and present, in such fonn as the
Architect shall prescribe, an itemized accounting together
with appropriate supporting data. Pending final
determination of cost to the Owner, payments on account
shall be made on the ArchitecYs Certificate of Payment as

quote to the Architect in writing. The Architect shall review
the price quotation and if approval is recommended, forvvard
the proposed change order request and price proposal to the
Owner for approval. If the Architect will attempt to negotiate
with Contractor to revise the proposal to a figure which is fair
and reasonable and forward it on to the Owner for approvai.
If the negotiations do not resuit in an equitable solution, the
Architect shall prepare a cost-plus type Change Order with a
price-not-to-exceed figure for approval by the City and
require specific documentation to be provided by Contractor
in accordance with the paragraph above.
Contractor is advised that according to City of Fort Worth
Charter, that when the cumulative effect of Change Orders
results in an increase in cost of the contract amount by over
$3,000, the City Council must approve all such Change
Orders which will exceed this limit. Normal processing time
for the City Staff to obtain City Council approval, once the
recommended change order has been received at the City,
is approximately thirty (30) days . Owner, Architect and
Contractor shail endeavor to identify Change Ortler items as
early in the Construction process as possible to minimize
their impact on the construction schedule.
If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or
subsequently agreed upon, and if the quanG6es originally
contemplated are so changed in a proposed Change Order
that application of the agreed unit prices to the quantities of
Work proposed will create a hardship on the Owner or the
Contractor, the applicable unit prices shali be equitably
adjusted to prevent such hardship.
If the Contractor claims that additional cost or time is
involved because of (1) any written interpretation issued
pursuant to Section A, (2) any order by the Architect or
Owner to stop the Work pursuant to Section B, where the
Contract was not at fault, or (3) any written order for a minor
change in the Work, the Contractor shall make such claim.

the Contractor wishes to make a Gaim for an increase in the
Contract Sum or an extension in the Contract Time, he shall

time after the occurrence of the event that gave rise to such
clalm. This noGcs shall be given by the Contractor before
proceeding to execute the Work, except in an emergency
endangering life or property in which case the Contractor
shall proceed in accordance with Section J. No such claim
shall be valid unless so made. Any change in the Contract
Sum or Contract Time resulting from such claim, if approved
by the Owner, shall be authorized by Change Order.
L-3 OVERHEAD Al.LOWANCES FOR CHANGES:
Should any change in the work or extra work be ordered,
the following applicable percentage shall be added to
Material and Labor costs to cover overhead and profit:

extra work performed by the Contractor's own forces shall
not exceed fifteen percent 1( 5%).

extra work performed by a Subcontractor and supervised by
the Contractor shall not exceed ten percent 1( 0%).
L-4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK. The Architect
shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not
involving an adjustment in the Contract Sum or an extension
of the Contact Time and not inconsistent with the intent of
the Contract Documents.�Such changes may be effected by

confirmed in writing by the Architect and shall be binding on
the Owner and the Contractor.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
This report presents the results of a geotechnical engineering study for the proposed
Far North Branch Library located on Basswood Boulevard in Fort Worth, Texas. The
library will consist of a single-story, steel-framed structure. Column Ioads on the order
of 75 kips for a ground-supported floor and 150 kips for a suspended floor structure
can be expected.
1.2 Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this geotechnical engineering study has been to determine subsurface
conditions, evaluate the engineering characteristics ,of the subsurface materiais
encountered, provide guidelines for foundation design and construction requirements.
To accomplish its intended purposes, the study has been conducted in the following
phases: (1) drilling sample borings to determine the general subsurface conditions and
to obtain samples for testing; (2) performing laboratory tests on appropriate samples
to determine pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface materials; and (3)
performing engineering analyses, using the field and laboratory data, to develop
geotechnical recommendations for the proposed construction.
The design is currently in progress and the locations and/or elevations of structures

2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
2.1 Field Exploration
Subsurface materials at the project site were explored by six borings d�iiled to depths
of 5 to 25 feet. The borings were drilled using truck mounted drill equipment at the
approximate locations shown on the Plan of Borin�gs, Plate A.1. The boring locations
were selected by Rone Engineers, Inc: The boring logs are included on Plates A.4
through A.9 and keys to classifications and symbols used on the logs are provided
on Plates A.2 and A.3.
Undisturbed samples of cohe,sive soils were obtained with nominal 3-inch diameter
��� thin-walled (Shelby) tube samplers at the locations shown on the logs of borings. The
Shelby tube sampler consists of a thin-walled steel tube with a sliarp cutt�ng edge
connected to a head equipped with a ball valve threaded for rod connection. The tube
is pushed into the soil by the hydraulic pulldown of the drilling rig. The soil specimens
were extruded from the tube in the field, logged, tested for consistency with a hand
penetrometer, sealed, and packaged to limit loss of moisture.
The ronsistency of cohesive soil samples was evaluated in the field using a calibrated
hand penetrometer. In this test a 0.25 inch diameter piston is pushed into the
relatively undisturbed sample at a constant rate to a depth of 0.25 inch. The results
of these tests, in tsf, are tabulated at respective sample depths on the logs. When the
capacity of the� penetrometer is exceeded, the value is tabulated as 4.5 +.

Ground-water observations during and after completion of the borings are shown on
the upper right of the boring log. Upon completion of the borings, the bore holes were
backfilled with soil cuttings and plugged at the surface by hand tamping.
2.2 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory soil tests were performed on selected representative samples recovered
from the borings. In addition to the classification tests (liquid limits and plastic limits),
unconfined compression strength tests, unit dry weight determinations, and moisture
content tests were performed. Results of the laboratory classification, unconfined
compression strength, unit dry weight, and moisture content tests conducted for this
project are included on the boring logs.
A Free Swell test was performed on a selected sample of the higher-plastic�ty clays.
This tests, was performed to help in evaluating the swell potential of near-surface soils
in the area of proposed structure. The results of the swell test are presented on Plate
A.10.
The above laboratory tests were performed in general accordance with applicable
ASTM or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers procedures, or generally accepted practice.

other factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. The possibility of
perched ground wate� within granular, more permeable zones or atop rock exists.
�
Due to the variable subsurface conditions long-term observations would be necessary
to more accurately evaluate the ground-water level. Such observations would require
installation of piezometers or observation wells which are sealed to prevent the
influence of surface water. �
4.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 General Foundation Considerations
Two independent design criteria must be satisfied in the selection of the type of
foundation to support the proposed s�'ructures. First, the ultimate bearing capacity,
reduced by a sufficient factor of safety, must not be exceeded by the bearing pressure
transferred to the foundation soils. Second, due to consolidation or expansion of the
underlying soils during the operating life of the structures, total and differential vertical
movements must be within tolerable limits. The foundations for the proposed buildings
are discussed below. Foundation construction considerations are presented in� Section
� 4.4.
C
�

Column loads on the order of 75 kips for a ground-supported floor and 150 kips for a
suspended floor can be anticipated. During the investigation, near surface soils were
Report No. 513-9-497-03 RONE ENGINEERS, INC.

!
noted to be highly plastic. Thes� soils in a dry state tend to have a greater strength
and swell potential than when they are moist. In order for a ground-suppbrted floor
to be considered the near surface soils will need to be modified to reduce swelling.
The following foundation option is recommended for the library structure:
Underreamed pier foundations founded' at a depth of 15 feet below
ground surface
. �
4.2 Pier Foundation
Underreamed piers may be founded in the brown, reddish brown, and gray shaly clay
at a depth of 15 feet below existing grade. Underreamed piers may be designed for
an allo'wable end bearing capacity' of 5.0 ksf. A bell-to-shaft diameter ratio between :
2 and 1 and 3 to 1 should be used in design of underreammed piers. Tension loads
may be resisted by the dead load of the belled pier plus the weight of the soil enclosed
by a cylindrical surface formed by the circumference of the bottom of the bell and the
depth of the pier below finish grade.
All �piers should be spaced a minimum of 2 shaft diameters apart, edge-to-edge. Piers
founded as close to a 1 shaft diameter, edge-to-edge, should be designed for 75
percent of the total anticipated load capacity due to overlapping stress effects. The
end-bearing and side friction values include a factor of safety of 3 for dead load plus
live load with respect to shear failure. Piers proportioned for these values should
experience 0.75 inch or less of settlement after construction. The weight of the piers
below the final ground surface may be neglected in determining the design loads.

The settlements will be primarily elastic with a portion Qf the settlement occurring
during construction. The settlement response of the drilled piers will be impacted �more
by the quality of construction than by the response of the final structural loads to the
foundation.
Expansive soil movement in relation to pier foundations is discussed in Section '4.3.
4.3 Expansive Soil Considerations for Foundations
The drilled piers will be subjected to uplift pressures and tensile forces caused by
expansion within the surrounding soils, as the soils undergo seasonal moisture
changes. Accordingly, each shaft should include reinforcing steel to counteract these
tension forces. .Uplift pressures for drilled piers have been estimated to be 1.2 ksf for
a soil thickness and side shaft exposure depth of 12 feet. This uplift can be resisted
by the bell or underream portion of the underreamed ,pier.
4.4 Drilled Pier Construction
°Drilled pier construction should be monitored by a representative of the geotechnical
engineer to observe, among other things, the following items:
Identification of bearing material.
Adequate penetration of the shaft excavation into the bearing layer.
The base and sides of the shaft excavation are clean of loose cuttings.
• If seepage is encountered, whether it is of sufficient amount to require

the use of temporary steel casing. If casing is needed it is important that�
the field, representative observe that a high head of plastic concrete is
�
r�
�

maintained within the �casing at all times during their extraction to
' prevent the inflow of water.
Precautions should be taken during the placement of reinforcing steel and concrete to
prevent loose, excavated soil from falling into the excavation. Concrete should be
placed as soon as practical after completion of the drilling, cleaning and observation.
Excavation for a drilled pier should be filled with concrete before the end of the
workday, or sooner if required to prevent deterioration of the bearing material.
Prolonged exposure or inundation of the bearing surface with water will result in
changes in strength and compressibility characteristics. If ,delays occur, the drilled pier
excavation should be deepened as necessary and cleaned, in order to provide a fresh
bearing surface.
u
,
,
Ground-water seepage could be encountered in some areas of the site during drilled
pier construction. If this occurs, good .results have been achieved in areas of
comparable subsurface conditions by scheduling the concrete placement to closely
follow the drilling operation, to help in minimizing the seepage. Rapid placement of
reinforcing steel and concrete will be required under these c`onditions. The complete
installation of a drilled pier should be accomplished as rapidly as possible in order to
limit seepage problems and deterioration of bea�ing surfaces.

The concrete shouid be placed in a manner to prevent the concrete from striking the
reinforcing cage or the sides o� the excavation. Concrete should be tremied to the
bottom of the excavation to control the maximum free fall of the plastic concrete to
less than 10 feet.
A� drilling rig of sufficient size and weight will be necessary for drilting and/or coring
through the.hard layers to reach the desired bearing stratum and achieve the required
penetration.
In addition to the above guidelines, the specifications from the Association of Drilled
Shaft Contractors Inc. "Standards and Specifications for the Foundation Drilling
Industry" as Revised 1995 or other recognized specifications for proper installation of
drilled shaft foundation systems should be followed.
4.5 Grade Beams
Grade beams used in conjunction with the drilled piers shouid be tied into the.tops of
the piers and shoutd have a permanent void space of eight inches beneath. This void
is required to prevent vertical movements within the soil from applying pressure to the
.
bottom of the beam. If cardboard carton forms are used to create the void space, care
should be taken to protect the cardboard forms from damage, crushing, or becoming
wet prior to pfacement of concrete. The cardboard cartons should extend the full
length between piers and the full width of the beam. The in-place void boxes should

be observed prior to concrete placement to determine that they are firm and capable
of supporting the wet concrete and that they are placed the tull width a�d leng#h of
the beam, between piers. .
4.6 Interior �toor Slab Systems
Structural Floor: Interior f(oor s(abs are generalty IigF�tly foaded and may not� be capable
of resisting the heaving forces of expansive clay soils. The estimated soil movements
should be considered detrimental to floor siabs placed on grade. In areas sensitive to
floor slab movement, a positive means of preventing movement is to structurally
suspend the floor system (beams and slab) above the expansive subgrade. Support of
the structural floor is provided by the drilled piers. A minimum vertical void of 8 inches
is recommended below the structura! system. !f a crawl space is employed, provision
should be made to provide drainage of the void space below the slab, in the event
water becomes trapped or seeps into this area. Drain iniets which are tied into the
storm sewer or a sump and pump system may be necessary. A(so, because of capiilary
moisture buildup, proper ventilation should be provided in the space below the slab.
Ground-Suanorted Floor: If a ground-supported floor system is to be used in
conjunction with the pier and beam foundation, it will be neces'sary to reduce the soil
movement. To provide mo�e uniformity of potential movements to ground-supported
floor slabs and to reduce the amount of potential vertical movement of these expansive
soils, it is recommended that lime slurry/water pressure injection activities be
performed on the onsite soils at the final grade during construction and prior to filling.

L�
A weli-designed site drainage plan is of utmost importance and surface d�ainage should
be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of the struct�re.
Consideration should be given to the design and location of gutter downspouts,
planting areas, or other features which would produce moisture concentration adjacent
to or beneath the structure or paving. It is� desirable that paving and/or extorior
flatwork extend to the building line rather than have planting areas next to the
structure. Consideration should be given to the use of self-contained, watertfght
� planters. Joints next to the� structure should be sealed with a flexible joint sealar to
prevent infiltration of surface water. Proper maintenance should include periodic
inspection for open joints and cracks and resealing as necessary.
Rainwater collected by the gutter system should be transported by pipe to a storm
drain or to a paved area. If downspouts discharge next to the structure onto flatwork
or-paved areas, the area should be watertight in order to eliminate infiltration next to
the building.
5.3 Additional Design Considerations
The following information has been assimilated after examination of numerous
projects constructed in active soils throughout the area. It is presented here for your
convenience. If these features are incorporated in the overall design of the project, the
performance of the structure should be improved.
• Any structural floor system must have the underlying exposed soils graded to drain
to a collection point where the water is channeled away from the structure. We
further recommend that any step-down, below grade walls, etc. be provided �vith
suitable dewatering devices to reduce accumulated water.
� RepoR No. 513-9-497-03

�

�� • Special consideration should be given to completion items outside the building
area, such as stairs, sidewalks, signs, etc. They should be adequately designed to
sustain the potential vertical movements mentioned in the report. �

'
�
• Roof drainage should be collected by a system of gutters and downspouts and
transmitted away from the structure where the water can dr.ain away without
entering the building subgrade.
• Sidewalks should not be structurally connected to the building. They should be
sloped away from the building so that water will drain away from the structure.
• The parking lot and the general ground surface• should be sloped away from the
building �n all sides so that water will always drain away from the structure.
Water should not be allowed to pond near the building �after the slab has been �
placed.
• Every attempt should be made to limit the extreme wetting or drying of the
subsurface soils since swelling and shrinkage will result. Standard construction
practices of providing good surface water drainage should be used. A positive
slope of the ground away from the foundation should be provided to carry off tFie
run-off water both during and after construction.
• Backfill for utility lines or along the perimeter beams should consist of on-site
materi�al so that they will be stable. If the backfill is too dense or too dry, swelling
may form a mound along the ditch line. If the backfill is too loose or too wet,
settlement may form a sink along the ditch line. Either case is undesirable since
several inches of� movement is possible and floor cracics are likel� to result. The
soils should be processed using the previously discussed compaction criteria.
• The floor slab placed at or below existing grades should be provided with a
moisture barrier in order to prevent wet spots.

6.1 Site Preparation
The subgrade should be firm and able to support the construction equipment without
displAcement. Soft or yielding subgrade should be corrected and made stable before
constr��ction proceeds. The subgrade should be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which

if exist, should be reworked to provide a firm and otherwise suitable subgrade. Proof
rolting should be performed using a heavy pneumatic tired roller, loaded dump truck,
or similar piece of equipment. The proof rolling operations should be observed by the
project geotechnical engineer or hislher representative. Prior to fill placement, the
subgrade should be scarified to a minimum depth of 6 inches, its moisture content
adjusted, and recompacted to the moisture and density recommended for fill.
6.2 Placement and Compaction
Fill material should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches in uncompacted
thickness. The uncompacted lift thickness should be reduced to 4 inches for structure
backfi�l zones requiring hand-operated power compactors or small self-propelled
compactors. The fill material should be uniform with respect to material type� and
moisture content. Clods and chunks of material should be broken down and �the fill
material mixed by disking, blading, or plowing, as necessary, so that a° material of
uniform moisture and density is obtained for each lift. Water required for sprinkling to
bring the fill material to the proper moisture content should be applied eveniy through
each layer.
The fiA material should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the maximum dry
density determined by the Standard Proctor test, ASTM D 698. In conjunction with the
compacting operation, the fill material should be brought to the proper moisture
content. The moisture content for general earth fill should range from two percentage
points below to 4 percentage points above optimum (-2 to +4). These ranges of
Report No. 513-9-497-03 RONE ENGINEERS, INC.

�
moisture contents are given as maximum recommended ranges. For some soils and
under some..conditions,`the contractor may have to maintain a more narrow range of
moisture content (within the recommended range) in order to consistently achieve the
recommended density. � .
Field density tests should be taken,as each lift of fill material is placed. As a guide, one
field density test per lift for each 5,000 square feet of compacted� area is
recommended. For small areas or critical a:�eas the frequency of testing may need to
be increased to one test per 2,500 squa�e feet. A minimum of 2 tests per lift should
be required. The earthwork operations should be observed and tested on a continuing
basis by an experienced geotechnician working in conjunction with the project
geotechnical engineer.
Each lift should be compacted, tested, and approved before another lift is added. The
purpose of the field density tests is to provide some indi�ation that uniform and
adequate compaction is being obtained. The actual quality of the fill, as compacted,
i should be the responsibility of the �contractor and satisfactory results from the tests
i should not be considered as a guarantee of the quality of the contractor's filling
�
operations.

6.3 Excavation

a manner to provide for their stability during constriction. Existing structures� pipelines

' specifically loaded areas. The pavement c�oss sections can be confirmed by
� .
performing strength tests on the subgrade materials once the traffic characteristics are
established. Periodic maintenance of pavement structures normally improves the
durability of the overall pavement and enhances its expected life.
It is important that the owner provide aggressive maintenance of the pavement in the
future. This will include periodic observation of the pavement for cracking and proper
sealing of cracks to prevent/abate moisture migration below the pavement.
8.0 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS

�
M
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
In any �geotechnical investigation, the design recommendations are based on a limited
amount of information about the subsurface conditions. In the analysis, the
geotechnical engineer must assume the subsurface conditions are similar to the
conditions encountered. in the borings. However, quite often during construction
anomalies in the subsurface conditions are revealed. Therefore, it is recommended that
� Rone Engineers, Inc. be �etained to ob erve foundation installation, earthwork, and
pavement� installation and perform rrf aterials evaluation � and testing during the
construction phase of the project. This enables the geotechnical engineer to stay
abreast of the project and to be readily available to evaluate unanticipated 'conditions,
to conduct additional tests if required and, when necessary, to recommend alternative
solutions to unanticipated conditions.

It is proposed that construction phase observation and materiais testing commence by
the project geotechnical engineer at the outset of the project. Experience has shown
that the most suitable method for procuring these services is for the owner or the
owner's design engineers to contract directly with the project geotechnical engineer.
This results in a clear, direct line of communication between the owner and the
owner's design engineers and the geotechnical engineer.
9.0 REPORT CLOSURE
The borings for this study were located by Rone Engineers, Inc. using approximate
taping methods from existing topographic features. The locations and elevations of
the borings should be consideredY accurate only to the degree implied by the methods
used in their determination. The boring logs shown in this report contain information
I related to the types of soil encountered at specific locations and times and show lines
1
delineating the interface between these materials. The logs also contain our field
representative's interpretation of conditions that are believed to exist in those depth
intervals between the actual samples taken. Therefore, these boring logs contain both
�
factual and interpretive in'formation. Laboratory soil classification tests were also
performed on samples from selected depths in the borings. The results of these tests,
along with visual-manual prpcedures were used to generally classify each stratum.
� Therefore, it should be understood that the classification data on the logs of 6orings
� �
represent visual estimates of classifications for those portions of each stratum on

which the full range of laboratory soil classification tests were not performed. It is not
implied that these logs are representative of subsurface conditions at other locations
and times.
With regard to ground-water conditions, this report presents data on ground-water
levels as they were observed during the course of the field work. In particular, water
level readings have been made in the borings at the times and under conditions stated
in the text of the report and on the boring logs. It should be noted that fluctuations in
the level of the ground-water table' can occur with passage of time due to variations
in rainfall, temperature and other factors. Also, this report does not include quantitative
information on rates of flow of ground water into excavations, on pumping capacities
necessary to dewater the excavations, or on methods of dewatering excavations.
Unanticipated soil conditions at a construction site are commonly encountered and
cannot be fully predicted by mere soil samples, test borings or test pits. Such
unexpected conditions frequently require that additional expenditures be made by the
owner to attain a properly designed and constructed project. Therefore, provision for
some contingency fund is recommended to accommodate such potential extra cost.
The �analyses, conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on
site conditions as they existed at the time of our field investigation and further on the
assumption that the explorator.y borings are representative of the subsurface
conditions throughout the site; that is, the subsurface conditions everywhere are not
significantly different from those disclosed by the borings at the time they were

completed. If, during construction, different subsurface conditions from those
encountered.in our borings are observed, or appear to be present in excavations, we
rnust be advised promptly so that we can review these conditions and reconsider our
recommendations where necessary. If there is a substantial lapse of time between
submission of this report and the start of the work at the site, if conditions have
changed due either to natural causes or to construction operations at or adjacent to
the site, or if structure locations, structural loads or finish gra,des are changed, we urge
that we be promptly informed and retained to review our report to determine the
applicability of the conclusions and recommendations, considering the changed
conditions and/or time lapse.
m
Further, it is urged that Rone Engineers, Inc. be ret�ined to review those portion� of
the 'plans and specificaxions for this particular project that pertain to foundations,
earthwork, and pavements as a means to determine whether the plans and
specifications are consistent with the recomrx�e,ndations contained in this report. In
addition, we are available to observe •construction, particularly the compaction of
structural fill, or backfill and the construction of foundations and pavements as
'recommended in the report, and such ,other field observations as might be necessary.
The scope of our services did not include any environmental assessment or
investigation for the presence or absence of wetlands or hazardous or toxic materials
in the soil, surface water, ground water or air, on or below or around the site. The
scope of services also did not include any assessment of the site for suitability for the

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
FAR NORTH BRANCH LIBRARY
BASSWOOD BOULfVARD
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
��
�
REPORT NO. 513-9-497-03
Purpose
The purpose of these recommendations is to obtain a relatively uniform, moist, stable
�` zone of soil beneath the proposed structure. Due to the wide variation in quality of
injection subcontractors, lime slurry pressure injection is no recommended' as a
stabilization technique unless a full-time laboratory inspector of Rone Engineers, Inc.
,,.,� is retained.
Material
�
�
1. The lime slurry is to consist of clean fresh water, hydrated lime, and surfactant
and shall be continuously agitated to ensure uniformity of mixture.
2. The hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) should conform to the applicable parts of
ASTM #C207 Type N. •
� 3. A nonionic surfactant (wetting agent) should be used according to manufacturer's
recommendations, but in no case should proportions be less than one part
(undiluted) per 3,500 gallons water.
�
l��
L�!J
l�]
Propor�ion the �lime slurry within the range of 4 to 6 pounds of hydrated lime per
square foot of injected area. Check specific gravity of the slurry with Ertco
Hydrometer #2545. Specific gravity readings should range from 1.12 to 1.17.
Specific gravity checks should be made at both the mixer tanks and at injection
pipes.
j� Plate B.1
f..�
1
I
l■
Application �
1. Provide injection work after the subgrade has been under cut to the desired depths
and prior to fill placement, installation of underground utilities and pavement.
2. Injection 'vehicle should have injection pipes spaced on 5-foot center, and each
injection pipe should be capable of exerting a minimum penetration force � of
10,000 psi. Force injection pipe into the soil; do not wash down by scouring
action of fluid. Furnish track-mounted injection vehicle in order to traverse the
ground under its own power, or if rubber tire-mounted vehicle is used, provide a
track-mounted machine where necessary toTpull injection vehicle through mud.
3. Continue injection of fluid until refusal at all probes (i.e., until soil will not take any
more and fluid is running freely on the surface, either out of previous injection
-' holes or has fractured the ground in several places around refusal). If this occurs
around any probe, cut this probe off so that water can be properly injected through
the remaining probes until refus�al ��occurs for all probes.
4. Injection pipes should penetrate the soil in approximately 12-inch intervals,
injecting to refusal at each interval to a total depth of 7 feet.
�
5. Lower portion of injection pipe should consist of a hole pattern that will uniformly
disperse fluid throughout the entire depth. Injection vehicle should be fitted with
individual cutoff valves for each probe. At each 12-inch interval, each valve
� should be cut off and on to assure that each probe is not blocked and that
injection fluid is flowing. If one of two probes are blocked, cut the others off so
that the added pressure will clear out the blockage.
6. Do not exceed five feet on center each way for� injection spacing. Each
consecutive injection should be five feet in center and spaced 2-1 /2 feet offset in
two orthogonal directions from the previous injection.
7. Adjust injection pressures to inject the greatest quantity of fluid possible within
a pressure range of 5� - 100 psi. In order to assure that pressure is within this
specified range, equip each injection vehicle with an accurate pressure gauge
attached to the manifold (the pipe fitting on which the probe valves are attached).
8. Extend injection five feet outside the perimeter of the structure.
9. After a minimum curing time of 48 hours, the pad should be injected with water
and surfactant. The water injections should be five feet on center each way and
spaced 2-1 /2 feet offset in two orthogonal directions from the initial injection. The
water pass should penetrate the soil in approximate 12-inch intervals, injecting to
� refusal at each interval to a total depth of 7 feet.
10. At a minimum, one lime injection and one water injection should be performed
prior to testing.
1 1. The swell potential, moisture content, and other soil properties will be evaluated
I
�
�
the many unpredictable variables involved. •
Estimates of soil movements for this site have been performed using data from the
Texas Department of Transportation (Tx-DOT) procedure TEX-124-E for estimating
Potential Vertical Rise (PVR), swell tests, and engineering judgment and experience.
Vertical soil movements ranging from approximately 2 to 4 inches have been estimated
for the clay soils encountered from the surface to a depth of approximately 14 feet in
the building borings, as the soils undergo moisture changes.
The estimated soil movements are based on the subsurface conditions revealed by the
borings and for seasonal moisture fluctuations: Soil movements, significantly larger
than estimated, could occur due to inadequate site grading, poor drainage, ponding of
rainfall, and/or leaking pipelines.
5.2 Site Drainage
An important feature ofi the project is to provide positive drainage away from the
proposed buiidings. If water is permitted to stand next to or below the structure,
excessive soil movements (heave) can occur. This could result in differential floor slab
or foundation movement.
Ponding water can result in soil movements exceeding those previously given. A slope
of 1.5 to 3 percent should be provided, such that the soil slopes away from the
building.

Furthermore, if construction occurs during the wetter periods of the year when on site
soils are moistened by rainfall, no injection may be necessary. Preconstruction
moisture checks of on site soils can establish the need for injection activities. A
minimum 1-foot zone of select fill should be placed atop the injected soils to maintain
the insitu soil moisture content during construction. Guidelines for lime slurry and
water pressure injection are provided in Appendix B.
It is imperative to maintain the moisture in the soils and allow no drying. It should be
noted that this method of soil treatment is presented as an option for the owner's
consideration. The option may or may not be practical or economically feasible,
depending on the expected performance of the proposed structure. The owner should
be aware that �his method will not prevent movement of soil-supported foundation
elements, and can only reduce the magnitude of the movement to a value on the order
of one inch. Placement of the floor slab on _grade represents a compromise between
construction cost and risk of floo� distress.
5.0 EXPANSIVE SOIL CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Potential Vertical Movements
The expansive soils encountered at this site can shrink and swell as the soil moisture
content fluctuates during seasonal wet and dry cycles. Additionally, the site
environment is impacted by grading and drainage, landscaping, ground-water
conditions, paving and many other factors which affect the structure during and after
construction. �Therefore, the amount of soil movement is difficult to determine due to
Report No. 513-9-497-03 RONE ENGINEERS, INC.
12
�
�
�
�
to determine acceptance of injected areas. The test results shouid be used to
determine if additional water injections are required. �
12. Repeat injections with water and surfactant five feet on center. Each consecutive
water and surfactant injection should extend to depths of 7 feet, injected as
� described above.
13. A minimum of 24 hours should elapse between each injection application ,in any
one area to allow for moisture absorption.
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
�
�•�
�
�
�
�
I�
�
�
14. Upon completion of the final pressure injection, scarify the free surface lime into
the top six inches of the soil and recompact to a minimum of 95 percent of 'the
maximum dry density at a moisture content between optimum and five percent
above the optimum value.
Observation and Testing
1. A full-time laboratory technici�n should be present throughout the injection
operations. Undisturbed samples should be taken at one-foot intervals to the total
depth injected from one test hole per 5,000 square feet� of injected area.
Adjustments in the testing program should be at the discretion of the testing
engineer.
2. A minimum of one free swell test should be performed per test hole. Samples will
be.,tested at the approximate overburden pressure of the sample depth. The lime
slurry and water pressure injections could be terminated when the results of the
free swell tests extrapolated over a depth of 7 feet indicate that post-construction
movement will be limited to one inch or less.

D. Removai of Groundwater Seepage
1. Water above an average depth of 2" above the bottom of the excavation shall be
pumped or removed before placement of concrete. if water cannot be held below this
level long enough for concrete to be placed in the normal manner, place concrete by
one of the following methods:
a. Use of a submersible pump in the bottom of a straight hole or in a sump
excavated in the bottom of a bell, with concrete being placed to cover the intake
pipe before the pump is lifted.
b. Use of a Tremie pipe of "elephamt's trunk".
c. Use of pumped-in concrete discharging througti a pipe below the water and below
the surface of the concrete in the hole.
E. Allowable Tolerances:
1. The piers shall be installed as indicated on the Drawings and in accordance with
these Specifications. No pier shall be off center from its design locations more than
3" at the top of the pier. No vertical pier shall be out of plumb more than 1°/a of its
length. All piErs and shafts shall be at least as large in diameter as indicated on the
Drawings. Deviations from �.inderream configurations (if required) may be made only
with prior written approval of the Structural Engineer.

excessive rust, mud or any foreign material which would hinder bondingof concrete and
steel. Reinforcement cages shall be straight and shall conform to the design dimensions.
Adequate provision shall be made to ensure that the reinforcement steel will remain in place
thrughout placement of concrete and that specified concrete cover for the reinforcement
steel is attained and maintained. The use of precast concrete spacer blocks or
"Centraligner" pier sleds by Pieresearch, Arlignton, TX (or equal) is recommended for this
purpose.
Q C. After approval of the excavated pier hole by the Testing Laboratory, concrete shall be
placed in a manner that will not cause segregation of the particles or permit infiltration of
water or any other occurrence which would tend to decrease the strength of the concrete or
� the capacity of the finished pier. All concrete shall be placed in the presence of the Testing
Laboratory.

D. Concrete may be placed in a dry hole by dumping in free-drop from the surFace, provided
that a hopper or other device approved by the Testing Laboratory is used to force the
concrete to drop straight down without hitting the sides of the holes or the reinforcement
before striking the bottom.
E. Maintain min., 3" clearance between bottom of excavation and reinforcement.
3.03 DISPOSAL OF SOIL
Remove spoil from the graund around the excavation before concrete placement is started.

6.3 Cleaning Joints: Immediately after sawing, the resulting
concrete slurry shall be completely removed from the joint and
adjacent area by flushing with high pressure water. The water
flushing shall be done in one-direction to prevent joint
contamination.
When the Contractor elects to saw the joirit by the dry
method, flushing the joint with high pressure water may be
deleted. The dust resulting from the sawing shall be removed
from the joint by using compressed air (Paragraph Rev. 1,
October 18, 1989).
After complete drying, the joints shall be sandblasted. The
r�ozzle shall be attached to a mechanical aiming device so
that the sand blast will be directed at an angle of 45 degrees
and at a distance of one to two inches from the face of the
joint. Both joint faces shall be sandblasted in separate, one
Directional passes. Upon the termination of the sandblasting,
the joints shall be blown-out using compressed air. The blow
tube shall fit into the joints.
The blown joint shall be checked for residual dust or other
contamination. If any dust or contamination is found, the
sandblasting and blowing shall be repeated until the joint is
cleaned. Solvents will not be permitted to remove stains and
contamination.
Immediately upon cleaning, the bond breaker and sealant �
shall be placed in the joint. Open, cleaned joints shall not be
left unsealed overnight.
6.4 Bond Breaker Rod and Tape: The bond breaker rod and �tape
shall be installed in the cleaned joint prior to the application of
the joint sealant in a manner that will produce the required
dimensions.
6.5 Joint Sealant: Upon placement of the bond breaker rod and
tape, the joint sealant shall be applied using the mechanical
injection tool. The joint sealant application shall not be
permitted when the air and pavement temperature is less than
40°F (4°C). Joints shall not be sealed unless they are clean
and dry. The sealant surface shall be tooled (if a non-self-
leveling silicone joint sealant is used) to produce a slight
concave surtace approximately one-quarter inch (1/4") below
the pavement surface. The tooling shall be accomplished
before a skin forms on the surFace of the sealant. The use of
soap or oil as an aid in tooling shall not be allowed. Tooling
will not be required for self-leveling silicone joint sealant.

3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Placing: Place concrete in accordance with requirements of ACI 301 and as modified herein.
Deposit concrete rapidly from mixer to forms as nearly as possible in its final position to avoid
segregation due to rehandling or flowing. Do not place partially hardened, contaminated or
retempered concrete.
B. Consolidation: Place concrete with aid of inechanical vibrating equipment unless otherwise
approved by Architect. Apply vibration at point of deposit and in area of
� freshly placed concrete. Vibrate enough to accomplish thorough compaction
and complete embedment or reinforcement and fixtures. Supplement
vibration by hand-spading in corners and angles of forms to prevent honey-
combing.
C. Bonding: Before deposiiing new concrete on concrete that has set, roughen and clean surface
of set concrete of laitance, foreign matter and loose particles. Wet surface of set concrete just
prior to placing new concrete.
D. Protection and Curing:
1. Protect concrete from frost damage and moisture loss.
2. Provide artificial heat to maintain temperature of concrete above minimum required herein
for duration of curing period.
3. Keep forms sufficiently wet to prevent cracking of concrete or loosening of form joints.
4. Cure surtaces of exposed concrete by means of curing compound or sheeting method, as
applicable.
E. Patching Formed Surfaces of Exposed Concrete:
1. After forms have been removed, inspect concrete surfaces and patch pour joints, voids,
stone pockets, other defective areas and tie holes before concrete is thoroughly dry. Chip
away defective areas to�depth of not less than 1" with edges perpendicular to surface. Wet
areas to be patched and spaced at least 6" wide entirely surrounding it, to prevent
absorption of water from patching mortar. Do not patch concrete in freezing weather.
2. Apply chemical bonding agent to surface in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations, followed immediately by patching mortar. Make patch of same
proportions as used for concrete except omit coarse aggregate. Add only enough water
consistent with requirements for handling and placing.
3. Thoroughly compact mortar into place and screed off; leave patch slightly higher than
surrounding surface. Leave undisturbed for one to two hours to permit initial shrinkage
before final finishing. Finish patch to match texture and color of adjoining surtace.
Completely fill tie holes left by withdrawal of rods and holes left by removal of end of ties.
. For holes passing entirely through wall, force mortar through with plunger type grease gun.
Cure all patches.
F. Finishing Formed Surfaces:
1. As - Formed Finish.
a. Provide at surFaces not exposed to view in completed work.
b. Remove fins by stoning, otherwise leave texture imparted by forms.

Copyright 1999 Fort Worth, Texas
2. Rubbed Finish:
a. Provide at exterior vertical surfaces exposed to view in completed work.
b. After removal of forms, patching and repairing, and while concrete is still green, spread
slurry consisting of 1 part portland cement and 1-1/2 part damp, loose sand by volume,
� over pre-dampened surtace. Apply using burlap pads or sponge rubber floats.
Remove surplus materials, then rub with clean burlap. Water for completed surfaces
for 7 days min. �
G. Flafinrork:
1. Forms and Screeds: Set edge forms and intermediate screed strips accurately to produce
designed elevations and contours in finished surtaces. Align concrete surface to contours
of screed strips using strike-off templates or compacting type screeds. When formwork is
cambered, set screeds to like camber to maintain proper concrete thickness.
, 2. Floated Finish: Provide at slab surfaces to precede other finishes. Begin floating after
concrete has been struck off, consolidated and leveled, surface water has disappeared and
surface is sufficiently hardened to support power driven float. Finish surFace with impact
type power driven float or hand float. Test surface with 10'-0" straightedge placed at min. 2
different angles; correct irregularities exceeding 1/4". Refloat repaired areas.
3. Trowel Finish: Provide at interior slab surFaces under carpet, vinyl composite floor tile and
exposed concrete floors.
4. Light Broom Finish: Light broom finish under thin ceramic tile floors, ramps and steps.
H. Liquid Floor Hardener and Sealer:
1. Apply hardener and sealer for all finished concrete floors that will be left exposed, not
receiving additional finish.
2. Apply hardener and sealer in separate coats in accordance with manufacturer's directions
and using the maximum quantity recommended. Surface to be treated must be clean and
dry, with all work above the floor completed before the hardener and sealer is applied.
Upon completion, concrete surFaces shall be clean, without discrepancies, discoloration, or
traces of excess hardener left on the surtace.
