OLD RIVER GOLF COURSE Page No. 6 minimum of 5 inches thick and be reinforced with 6x6x2. 1x2. 1 wire mesh or #3 bars at 18 inch centers both ways. The slab should be tied to the footings with #4 dowels at 24 inch centers. Dowels should extend a minimum of 24 inches into the slab. To assure that the slab subgrade is in a near saturated condition prior to floor slab placement, pre-saturation of the subgrade should be performed. The subgrade should be in a near saturated condition for a minimum depth of 18 inches below grade. Experience has shown that the best way to achieve the required saturation is to first cast the footings to within 4 inches of top of slab. The interior is then prepared with the addition of the gravel, visqueen, sand, and reinforcement. Water is then introduced into the gravel layer and allowed to soak in (the perimeter footing will serve as a dike to retain the water) . The saturation is critical and should be verified by an engineer. Foundations that are constructed as indicted may be loaded to a bearing capacity of 2000 pounds per square foot total load. Bearing capacity may be increased by 1/3 for temporary wind and seismic loads. It is recommended that our office be afforded the opportunity of reviewing the completed foundation plans to verify that our recommendations have been properly interpreted and incorporated. Unless our office is allowed this opportunity, we disavow any responsibility from problems arising from failure to follow geotechnical recommendations or improper interpretation and implementation of our recommendations. It is also recommended that our office be retained to perform the recommended grading control, testing, and observations. Unless we have been retained to provided these services, our office can not be held responsible for problems arising during or after construction that could have been avoided had these services been performed. = VII PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed roadway subgrade soils varied throughout the site = as indicated by the results of the R-value tests. Test results ranged from 5 to 29 and varied mainly as a result of the clay content. For preliminary design purposes, average R-values of 5 pERS�G s s w-- o Assoc.
