MEMORANDUM Construction - Materials Central Laboratory TO: CC/ATT: FROM: Paul Huskey-se/gs Joe Crader-se/ma Sr. Geotechnical Specialist DATE: April 22, 214 SUBJECT: Materials Geotechnical Section Foundation Investigation for Structure Design No. FI2169-Pole Barn Building Job No. R3G Route 67, County General A field investigation was conducted for a proposed Pole Barn Building at Poplar Bluff Maintenance Shed, County, MO. The proposed building location was staked and surveyed by district personnel. Attached are logs of borings for the above noted structure. The layout of the boreholes for the proposed Pole Barn Building is shown in Figure 1. Based on the exploratory borings taken at the four corners of the proposed Pole Barn Building, the top stratum mainly consists of lean clay to a depth of about 2. feet, which is underlain by fat clay scattered gravel and sand to depths ranging from 13.8 feet to the maximum depth explored 16. feet. Recommendations Shallow foundation should bear at least 1. feet below finish grade for frost protection. Shallow foundations that bear at least 1. feet below finish grade can be designed using an allowable bearing of 2. ksf. If unsuitable foundation soil (soft soil) is encountered during excavation, it should be excavated to stiff or better soil/ rock or a maximum of 4 feet, whichever is less, and replaced with engineered fill soil/ or granular material as recommended by the resident engineer. cs j:\sublec\easaw\se\fi2169 pole barn ltr.doc Attachments Our mission is to provide a world-class transportation experience that delights our customers and promotes a prosperous Missouri.
