The raft <br /> foundation system was not considered economically feasible due to <br /> the cost of necessary combating measures against the excessive •; <br /> potential. settlements that exist at this site. However, both the <br /> shallow foundation with slab--on-grade and deep foundation with <br /> pier and grade beam construction were considered feasible subject <br /> to the recommendations contained in this report. <br /> Un.anticipated.. so.il conditions are commonly encountered and <br /> cannot be fully determined by mere soil samples or test borings. <br /> Such 'unexpected conditions frequently require that additional <br /> Alk <br /> expenditures be made to attain a properly construction project. <br /> Therefore, some contingency fund is recommended to accomodate <br /> such potential extra costs. in light of the complex nature of the <br /> subsurface conditions at this site. <br /> : i <br /> CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> General : Based on results of our test borings, test pits, <br /> and laboratory tests conducted for this investigation , we <br /> conclude that the central and southern portion of the site which <br /> includes the southern portion of lot 1 , lots 2 , 3 , 4 , A and B <br /> could be developed for the proposed residential construction, <br /> if the recommendations. contained in this report are adhered to . <br /> 0. <br /> The Foundado;1 .n _►?C cs, h-ic. <br />
