SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
TRINITY PARK
FORT WORTH,TEXAS
Job No. 94995232
June 18, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The subsurface exploration for the proposed pedestrian bridge in Fort Worth, Texas has been
completed. As requested, two borings were drilled to a depth of approximately 25 feet below the
existing ground surface near the abutments for the proposed bridge. Laboratory tests were then
performed on selected samples obtained from the borings, and this engineering report was
prepared based on the results of this data.
This exploration was performed to explore the subsurface conditions at the site, evaluate the
pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface materials and provide soil parameters for the
design and construction of foundations for the proposed bridge.
PROJECT INFORMATION
The proposed project site is located along an existing pedestrian trail in Trinity Park, in Fort Worth,
Texas. We understand the project will consist of constructing a new pedestrian bridge across a
small creek in the park. The bridge will be about 60 feet long, and we understand each abutment
will exert a load of less than 30 kips. We also understand it may be desired to support the bridge
on shallow spread footing foundations.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
The borings were drilled on June 9, 1999. The borings were drilled with a truck-mounted drilling
rig, using air-rotary methods to advance the boreholes. The borings were located on the site by a
representative of HBC/Terracon and TranSystems, at the approximate locations shown on the
Boring Location Diagram. The locations of the borings indicated on the attached diagram are
approximate and were located by visual alignment with existing structures and landmarks. The
location of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the means and
method used to define them.

Representative soil samples were obtained in general accordance with ASTM Specification D-
1587 (thin-walled tube sampling procedures). In the thin-walled tube sampling procedure, a thin-
walled seamless steel tube with a sharp cutting edge is pushed hydraulically into the ground to
obtain relatively undisturbed samples of cohesive or moderately cohesive soils. The samples
were sealed and returned to the laboratory for testing and classification. The sampling intervals
are indicated on the boring logs at the depths of occurrence.
Field logs of each boring were prepared by the drill crew. These logs included visual
classifications of the materials encountered during drilling as well as the driller's interpretation of
the subsurface conditions between samples. Final boring logs inc!uded with this report represent
an interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on laboratory observation and
tests of the samples. Individual boring logs and a Boring Location Diagram are included with this
report.
LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
r
Soil samples were tested in the laboratory to measure their natural water content. Unconfined
compressive strength tests were performed on representative samples, and a calibrated hand
Ipenetrometer was used to estimate the approximate unconfined compressive strength of the
remaining cohesive samples obtained. The calibrated hand penetrometer has been correlated
with unconfined compression tests and provides a better estimate of soil consistency than visual
examination alone. These test results are provided on the attached boring logs.
Atterberg Limits tests and swell tests were performed on representative soil samples obtained from
the borings. The Atterberg Limits tests were used to help classify the soils, and were also used in
conjunction with the swell test results in evaluating the swell potential of the surficial soils. The
results of these tests are provided on the attached boring logs and swell test result sheet.
As part of the testing program, the samples were examined in the laboratory and classified in
general accordance with the attached General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification System
based on the material's texture and plasticity. The estimated group symbols for the Unified Soil
Classification System are shown on the boring logs, and a brief description of the Unified Soil
Classification System is attached.

SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Conditions encountered at each boring location are indicated on the individual boring logs.
Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil
types; in-situ, the transition between materials may be gradual. Based on the results of the
borings, subsurface conditions on the project site can be generalized as follows.
Sandy clay and silty clay was encountered at the ground surface at the borings, extending to the
explored depth of the borings (25 feet). The clay was gray and grayish brown near the surface,
becoming brown and light brown with depth.
Atterberg limits tests and swell tests indicate the surficial clay soils encountered at this site are
moderately to highly active. Active clays are subject to swelling with increases in moisture content
and shrinkage when they become dry. These clays can subject structures bearing in or adjacent
to the clays to uplift pressures with the normal moisture increases that occur beneath a structure
after construction.
WATER LEVEL OBSERVATIONS
The borings were monitored while drilling and after completion for the presence and level of
9
groundwater. Groundwater seepage was not observed while advancing the borings, and these
borings appeared to be dry immediately after completion of drilling.
Groundwater could be encountered at various depths in cracks and fissures in the clay soils. The
risk of encountering groundwater at this site is particularly increased during or after wet periods of
the year. f=luctuations of the groundwater level can occur due to the water level in the nearby
Trinity River and the creek, seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, surface runoff, and other
factors not evident at the time the borings were performed. The possibility of groundwater level
fluctuations should be considered when developing the design and construction plans for the
project.

` ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Shallow spread footing foundations can be considered for support of the proposed bridge.
g
However, some foundation movement due to shrinking and swelling of the active clays with natural
variations in soil moisture content could occur. If the potential for foundation movement is not
acceptable, we recommend underreamed drilled shafts in the deeper silty clay, at a depth of 15
feet below grade, to support the bridge. Our detailed recommendations for foundation design are
presented below.
Spread Footings
Footings for support of the proposed bridge should bear on very stiff native silty clay at a minimum
depth of 2 feet below the existing ground surface or final site grade, whichever is deeper. Footings
bearing on the native clay soils can be designed for a maximum net allowable soil bearing
pressure of 3,000 psf. The net bearing pressure is the pressure in excess of the minimum
surrounding overburden pressure at footing base elevation. Isolated footings should have a
minimum width of 3 feet, and continuous formed footings should have a minimum width of 1.5 feet.
Spread footings constructed on the active silty clays will be subject to some post-construction
movement with changes in soil moisture content. For foundations bearing at a depth of about 2
feet below grade, we estimate the magnitude of the movement could be on the order of 3 inches.
For footings bearing at a depth of 4 feet, we estimate the magnitude of this movement to be 1-1/2
inches or less. This movement could occur differentially between the two bridge abutments.
Construction Considerations - Footings
g
We recommend a representative of the geotechnical engineer observe and evaluate the footing
excavations before concrete is placed. If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered in footing
excavations, the excavations should be deepened to suitable firm dry natural soils. Over
excavation required below footings should extend laterally beyond the footings at least 8 inches
per foot of over excavation depth below footing base elevation. The footings could bear directly on
approved soils at the lower elevation, on lean concrete backfill placed to the desired elevation, or
on engineered backfill extending down to the suitable soils. Engineered backfill should consist of
approved material placed in lifts of 9 inches or less in loose thickness and compacted to at least
98% of the material's maximum standard Proctor dry density(ASTM D-698).

Job No. 94995232

Underreamed Shafts
A net allowable bearing pressure of 4,000 pounds per square foot (psf) can be used to design
shafts bearing in the deeper silty clay at the recommended 15 foot bearing depth. This bearing
pressure includes a factor of safety of at least 3 for general shear failure. Drilled shaft foundations
which are designed and constructed in accordance with the recommendations in this report should
be subject to long term movements of about 3/4 inch or less.
The shafts should contain sufficient vertical reinforcing steel throughout the entire shaft length to
resist uplift (tensile) forces due to post-construction heave of the clay soils. The magnitude of the
uplift force is difficult to predict and will vary with the in-situ moisture contents at the time of
construction. The uplift force can be approximated by assuming a uniform uplift pressure of 2,000
psf over the entire shaft perimeter to a depth of 10 feet. A minimumunderreamed base to shaft
diameter ratio of 2 to 1 should provide sufficient resistance to uplift pressures caused by heaving in
the active clays. In addition, the underream diameter should be a minimum of 30 inches larger
than the shaft diameter.
L_
Construction Considerations - Drilled Shafts
Based on groundwater observations at the time of our field investigation, it does not appear that
significant groundwater seepage will be encountered during shaft installation. However, seepage
could be present in the sandy clay and silty clay soils, particularly if construction proceeds during a
wet period of the year. Concrete and reinforcing steel should be placed as soon as drilling
operations are complete to minimize complications due to seepage and groundwater. If
groundwater seepage is encountered during shaft excavation that cannot be controlled by
conventional means (including, but not limited to, sumping and/or immediately placement of
concrete), this office should be contacted for additional evaluation and recommendations.
Installation of individual shafts should be completed in one day. The concrete placed in shaft
excavations should have a slump between 5 and 7 inches and should be placed in a manner
which prevents it from striking the reinforcing steel and sides of the excavation. The bottom of
each shaft excavation should be free of all loose materials and/or water prior to construction.

Drainage
Positive drainage should be developed around the bridge abutment areas. All adjacent flatwork
and the ground surface surrounding the structure should be sloped to prevent ponding of water
around the structure.
GENERAL COMMENTS
HBC should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments can be
made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the
design and specifications. HBC also should be retained to provide testing and observation
during excavation, grading, foundation and construction phases of the project.
The analysis and recommendations presented in this report are based upon the data obtained
Y P
from the borings performed at the indicated locations and from other information discussed in
this report. This report does not reflect variations which may.occur between borings or across
the site. The nature and extent of such variations may not become evident until construction. If
variations appear, it will be necessary to reevaluate the recommendations of this report.
I
The scope of services for this project does not include either specifically or by implication any
environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous materials or
conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, other studies
r should be undertaken.

VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of contracts to
non-resident bidders. This law provides that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder,non-
resident bidders(out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of business are
outside of the State of Texas)bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies or services in Texas at
an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder
would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the State

B. Unsuitable materials will be disposed of as "waste" a specified p as s spec f ed in Section 02100.
C. Wet Material: If fill material is unsatisfactory for use as embankment solely because of
high moisture content, the Architect/Engineer may grant the Contractor permission to
process the material to reduce the moisture content to a usable optimum condition.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation," as specified in Section 02100, shall be
performed in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the
.. entire area of earthwork operations.
3.02 TOPSOIL
A. The removal and storage of topsoil shall occur after site preparation is complete and
before excavation and embankment construction begin. Likewise,topsoil will be
replaced after excavation and embankment construction are complete.
B. Removal: Topsoil shall be stripped to an average depth of six inches from areas where
excavation and embankment construction are planned. Topsoil may be obtained from
greater depths if it is uncontaminated by the substratum and it is of good quality, in the
opinion of the Architect/Engineer.
C. Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will
later receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shall be out of the way of earthwork operations in
locations approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept
separate from other excavated materials and shall be protected from contamination by
objectionable materials that would render it unsuitable.
D. Timing: Topsoil will not be replaced (deposited)until construction activities are
complete that would create undesirable conditions in the topsoil, such as
overcompaction or contamination. Trenching for items such as electrical conduit and
irrigation pressure lines must be complete before topsoil replacement may begin.
E. Replacement: Topsoil will be deposited in a single layer or lift. It will be placed,
processed, compacted, and graded to leave a finished layer of topsoil not less than five
_ inches in depth. Unless otherwise indicated, topsoil will be replaced over all areas of
1 earthwork (including slopes),except where pavement is planned.

F. Grading: Topsoil will be final graded to the elevations shown on the plans. Fine
grading will be accomplished with a weighted spike harrow,weighted drag,tractor box
blade, light maintainer, or other acceptable machinery. All particles of the finish grade
shall be reduced to less than one inch in diameter or they shall be removed. All rocks of
one inch or greater shall also be removed. Grading operations and equipment will be
such that topsoil does not become overcompacted. Bulldozer blades and front-end
loader buckets are not acceptable devices for topsoil grading operations. Final grading
within five feet of constructed or installed elements shall be hand raked.
G. Acceptability: Finished areas of topsoil are satisfactory if they are true to grade,true in
plane, even in gradient(slope),uniform in surface texture, and of normal compaction.
Areas of loose granular pockets or of overcompacted soils are not acceptable and will
be reworked. Finished areas will promote surface drainage and will be ready for
turfgrass planting.
+ 3.03 UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION
A. All excavated areas shall be maintained in a condition to assure proper drainage at all
times, and ditches and sumps shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to
the areas under construction.
B. Surplus Material:
1. Surplus excavation is that quantity of material that may be left over after the
grading plan is executed, and all earthwork operations, including excavation,
embankment construction,topsoil replacement, and final grading, are
completed. Any other surplus material shall be disposed of as "waste" as
specified in Section 02100.
2. At this Park, the Architect/Engineer shall permit the Contractor to "waste" the
surplus by constructing additional embankment in an approved location. No
additional payment for such work would be due that Contractor.
C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise
indicated on the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six inches below required
subgrade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall be
backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans.
3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT
A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed
in unclassified excavation and/or imported fill. The construction of embankment
includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing,
conditioning,and compaction of fill material.
B. General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be
constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and
each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading
plan. Embankments shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the
typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall
EARTHWORK

correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After
completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its
finished section and grade until the project is accepted.
C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment,all preparatory operations will have
been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to
be placed. The subgrade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots,which if exist, should
be reworked. Proof rolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller,
loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment weighing approximately 25 tons
except as otherwise specified for tree protection and areas inaccessible to vehicular
compactors. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the embankments
shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by approved methods
before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the ground, including
plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small washes or otherwise, shall be
restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other methods, and, where
indicated on the plans or required by the Owner,the ground surface,thus prepared, shall
be compacted by sprinkling and rolling.
D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other
than rock, shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six inches to provide a bond
between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be
accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement, the
loosened material shall be adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to
the density specified herein for fill.
E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain
cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes
greater than 4:1,the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the
existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two feet normal to the slope shall be
removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm
foundation free of loose or disturbed material.
F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts,evenly spread,not
to exceed eight inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction._ Unless
otherwise permitted,each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the
area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of
fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times.
G. Watering: At the time of compaction,the moisture content of fill material shall be such
that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm,hard, and
unyielding. Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted
until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction.
H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or
sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the
Owner. Hand-directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to
vehicular compactors.

I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper
densities for their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity
or another as subgrade(e.g., under topsoil, under concrete and asphalt pavement,
under structures,etc.). Accordingly, the upper layer of embankment shall be
graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade elevation prior to
depositing topsoil, and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc.
3.05 DENSITY CONTROL
A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at a
minimum of 90 percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus 4 percent or minus
2 percentage points of optimum moisture content.
B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top 6 inches of natural earth
comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be 95 percent
to 98 percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with the moisture content at minus 2
percent to plus 4 percent of optimum.
3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all
embankments that are to function as subgrade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select
embankment. After completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss
of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of 2
percent below optimum in the top 12 inches of the fill will require that the top 12 inches of the
embankment be scarified, wetted, and recompacted prior to placement of the structure, select
fill or pavement. If desired,the Contractor may place an asphalt membrane of emulsified or
cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus eliminate the sprinkling requirement.
3.08 TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT: Topsoil shall be carefully placed to avoid any displacement or
damage to the subgrade. If any of the subgrade is rutted, damaged or displaced it shall be
restored prior to placing topsoil. Topsoil shall be replaced as specified herein per Item 3.02.
