2 Laboratory tests will be performed on selected samples to evaluate their engineering properties. These tests might include water content and dry density determinations, unconfined compression tests, grain size analyses, and Attarberg Limits tests, depending on the types of materials encountered at the site. The number and types of tests to be performed will be determined 'after completion of the field exploration. Results of laboratory tests will be presented in our final engineering report. Data obtained from the field exploration and laboratory testing programs will be evaluated in a manner consistent with current standard of practice techniques. Based on the results of this evaluation, we will develop opinions and recommendations regarding the following: · Types and depths of foundations for the proposed soundwall; · Design bearing pressures for foundations; · Presence of groundwater and its potential effects on the proposed construction; · Resistance to overturning and sliding forces; · Potential for settlement and tilting; · Behavior of the site when subjected to seismic shaking. The results of the study and our conclusions and recommendations will be presented in an engineering report at the end of our study. Based on our anticipated work load during the next month, preliminary, verbal results of our study can be provided within two weeks after authorization to proceed, and the final report can be completed within four weeks of authorization. We request that we be provided a map showing the locations of both the proposed soundwall and the utilities along the soundwall corridor. We also request that utilities along the soundwall corridor he marked in the field prior to drilling. MS GEOTECHN|CAL CONSULTANTS ~NC.
