Geotechnical Engineering Investigation of
Proposed New Residence at 3312 and 3324
Via Lido, Newport Beach, California
Pursuant to your request, a geotechnical engineering investigation has been performed at the subject
site. The purposes of the investigation were to determine the general engineering characteristics of
the near surface soils on and underlying the site and to provide recommendations for the design of
foundations and underground improvements.
The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based upon the understanding of
the proposed development and the analyses of the data obtained from our field and laboratory
testing programs.
This report completes our scope of geotechnical engineering services authorized by you in the July
3, 2018 proposal.
SITE DEVELOPMENT
The subject site is comprised of two lots, 3312 and 3324 Via Lido in the City of Newport Beach. It
is our understanding that the existing residences will be demolished and the two lots will be
combined into one. The site is to be redeveloped with a three-story residential structure over slab-
on-grade. Structural loads are anticipated to be light. Significant grade changes are not anticipated.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The scope of the study was to obtain subsurface information within the project site area and to
provide recommendations pertaining to the proposed development and included the following:
1. A cursory reconnaissance of the site and surrounding areas.
2. Excavation of three exploratory borings to determine the near subsurface soil conditions and
groundwater conditions.
3. Collection of representative bulk and/or undisturbed soil samples for laboratory analysis.
4. Laboratory analyses of soil samples including determination of in-situ and maximum density, in-
situ and optimum moisture content, shear strength characteristics, consolidation, expansion
potential, and sulfate content.

proposed development.
SITE CONDITIONS
The project site is located at 3312 and 3324 Via Lido, in the City of Newport Beach, California, and
is shown on the attached Site Vicinity Map, Plate 1.
The parcels are near rectangular in shape, near level, and bordered by residential properties to the
northwest, a parking lot to the southeast, Via Lido to the southeast, and the Newport Harbor to the
northeast.
The lots are currently developed with single-family residences, hardscape, and landscape. Site
configuration is further shown on the Site Plan, Plate 2.
EXPLORATORY PROGRAM
The field investigation was performed on July 24, 2018, consisting of the excavation of a boring by
a limited access drilling equipment (for Boring No. 1) and two borings by hand auger equipment
(for Boring No. 2 and Boring No.3) at the locations shown on the attached Site Plan, Plate 2. As
excavations progressed, a representative from this office visually classified the earth materials
encountered, and secured representative samples for laboratory testing.
Geotechnical characteristics of subsurface conditions were assessed by either driving a split spoon
ring sampler or an SPT sampler into the earth material.
Undisturbed samples for detailed testing in our laboratory were obtained from Boring No. 2 and
Boring No. 3 by pushing or driving a sampling spoon into the earth material. A solid-barrel type
spoon was used having an inside diameter of 2.5 inches with a tapered cutting tip at the lower end
and a ball valve at the upper end.
The barrel is lined with thin brass rings, each one inch in length. The spoon penetrated into the earth
materials below the depth of borings approximately six inches. The central portion of this sample
was retained for testing. All samples in their natural field condition were sealed in airtight
containers and transported to the laboratory.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed for Boring No. 1, based on ASTM D1586. The
number of blows required for driving the sampler through three six-inch intervals is recorded. The
sum of the number of blows required for driving the last two six-inch intervals is referred to as the
standard penetration number "N".
Samplers from Boring No. 1 were driven into the soil at the bottom of the borehole by means of
hammer blows. The hammer blows are given at the top of the drilling rod. The blows are by a
hammer weighing 140 pounds dropped a distance of 30 inches. Drive sampling was obtained at two
feet intervals for the upper level foundations in accordance with City guidelines. Considering that

the upper three feet of the pad area will be recompacted, SPT sampling commenced at three feet
below grade.
For liquefaction analysis, CE of 1.0 (for safety hammer), CB of 1.05 (for seven inch borehole
diameter), and Cs of 1.2 (for sampler without liners) are used to calculate corrected N values.
EARTH MATERIALS
Earth materials encountered within the exploratory borings were visually logged by a representative
of COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC. The earth materials encountered were classified as artificial
fill underlain by dredge fills, and native soils to the maximum depth explored.
Artificial fills encountered consisted of silt to clean, fine to medium grained sand, gray brown to tan
brown and gray in color, moist, generally surficially loose to medium dense with depth. The fills
were encountered to a depth of about two to three feet, in the front of the property, below existing
grade.
Dredge fills consisted of medium grained sand, light gray brown in color, moist to wet, and loose to
medium dense with depth. The fills were encountered to a depth of six feet at the back of the
property.
Native soils encountered consisted of silty sand to clean sand, tan to light gray tan and dark gray in
color, damp to wet with depth, and generally medium dense, to maximum depth explored of 12.5
feet.
Logs of the exploratory borings are presented on the appended Plates B, C, and D.
GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered approximately six feet below existing ground surface in the back of
the property and eight and a half feet below existing ground surface in the front of the property,
during the field investigation. This groundwater level is subject to fluctuation due to tidal changes.
Plate 1.2 in Appendix B shows the subject site area to have a historic high groundwater depth of
less than ten feet below existing ground surface. In our liquefaction and seismic settlement
analyses, a groundwater elevation of four feet below ground surface is used for more conservative
calculations in accordance with City policy.
SEISMICITY
Southern California is located in an active seismic region. Moderate to strong earthquakes can
occur on numerous faults. The United States Geological Survey, California Division of Mines and
Geology, private consultants, and universities have been studying earthquakes in
Southern California for several decades. Early studies were directed toward earthquake prediction
estimation of the effects of strong ground shaking. Studies indicate that earthquake prediction is not
practical and not sufficiently accurate to benefit the general public. Governmental agencies are
shifting their focus to earthquake resistant structures as opposed to prediction. The purpose of the

code seismic design parameters is to prevent collapse during strong ground shaking.
Cosmetic damage should be expected.
Within the past 47 years, Southern California and vicinity have experienced an increase in seismic
activity beginning with the San Francisco earthquake in 1971. In 1987, a moderate earthquake
struck the Whittier area and was located on a previously unknown fault. Ground shaking from this
event caused substantial damage to the City of Whittier, and surrounding cities. The
January 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake was initiated along a previously unrecognized fault below
the San Fernando Valley. The energy released by the earthquake propagated to the southeast,
northwest, and northeast in the form of shear and compression waves, which caused the strong
ground shaking in portions of the San Fernando Valley, Santa Monica Mountains, Simi Valley,
City of Santa Clarita, and City of Santa Monica.
Southern California faults are classified as: active, potentially active, or inactive. Faults from past
geologic periods of mountain building, but do not display any evidence of recent offset, are
considered "inactive" or "potentially active". Faults that have historically produced earthquakes or
show evidence of movement within the past 11,000 years are known as "active faults". There are no
known active faults within the subject property, with the nearest being the Newport Inglewood
Fault Zone and the San Joaquin Blind Thrust Fault.
• Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone: The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone is a broad zone of left-
stepping en echelon faults and folds striking southeastward from near Santa Monica across the
Los Angeles basin to Newport Beach. Altogether these various faults constitute a system more
than 150 miles long that extends into Baja California, Mexico. Faults having similar trends and
projections occur offshore from San Clemente and San Diego (the Rose Canyon and La Nacion
Faults). A near-shore portion of the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone was the source of the
destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake. The reported recurrence interval for a large event along
this fault zone is 1,200 to 1,300 years with an expected slip of one meter.
• San Joaquin Hills Blind Thrust Fault: The seismic hazards in Southern California have been
further complicated with the recent realization that major earthquakes can occur on large thrust
faults that are concealed at depths between 5 to 20 km, referred to as "blind thrusts." The uplift
of the San Joaquin Hills is produced by a southwest dipping blind thrust fault that extends at
least 14 km from northwestern Huntington Mesa to Dana Point and comes to within 2 km of the
ground surface. Work by Grant et al. (1997 and 1999) suggest that uplift of the San Joaquin Hills
began in the Late Quaternary and continues during the Holocene. Uplift rates have been
estimated between 0.25 and 0.5 mm/yr. If the entire length of the fault ruptured, the earthquake
has been estimated to generate an Mw 6.8 event.
We are of the opinion that the more active Newport Inglewood fault is the causative fault for the
subject site. The site is located less than a kilometer northeast of the Newport Inglewood fault.
SEISMIC HAZARDS
The potential hazards to be evaluated with regard to seismic conditions include fault rupture,
landslides triggered by ground shaking, soil liquefaction, earthquake-induced vertical and lateral

displacements, earthquake-induced flooding due to the failure of water containment structures,
and tsunamis.
Fault Rupture
The project is not located within a currently designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zone (Bryant
and Hart, 2007). No lrnown active faults are mapped on the site. Based on this consideration, the
potential for surface fault rupture at the site is considered to be remote.
Ground Shaking
The site is located in a seismically active area that has historically been affected by moderate to
occasionally high levels of ground motion, and the site lies in relatively close proximity to
several active faults; therefore, during the life of the proposed development, the property will
probably experience moderate to occasionally high ground shaking from these fault zones, as
well as some background shaking from other seismically active areas of the Southern California
region. Residential structures are typically designed to maintain structural integrity not to prevent
damage. Earthquake insurance is available where the damage risk is not acceptable to the client.
Seismic Induced Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a seismic phenomenon in which loose, saturated, non-cohesive granular soils
exhibit severe reduction in strength and stability when subjected to high-intensity ground
shaking. The mechanism by which liquefaction occurs is the progressive increase in excess pore
pressure generated by the shaking associated with the seismic event and the tendency for loose
non-cohesive soils to consolidate. As the excess pore fluid pressure approaches the in-situ
overburden pressure, the soils exhibit behavior similar to a dense fluid with a corresponding
significant decrease in shear strength and increase in compressibility. Liquefaction occurs when
three general conditions exist: 1) shallow groundwater; 2) low density, non-cohesive sandy soils;
and 3) high-intensity ground motion.
Seismic Hazard Zone Maps published by the State of California have been prepared to indicate
areas that have a potential for seismic induced liquefaction hazards. The Seismic Hazard Zone
Map for the Newport Beach Quadrangle, appended as Plate 3, shows the site to be mapped as
being subject to potentiai liquefaction hazards.
The City of Newport Beach has a policy concerning these areas. The City has assigned certain
parameters to existing soil conditions. From ten to thirty feet below ground surface they have
assigned the zone to be liquefiable with a seismic settlement of three inches. From thirty to fifty
feet below ground surface they have assigned liquefaction and seismic settlement not to be of
concern. The client has the option of accepting these conditions and assessing the zone of earth
materials from the ground surface to ten feet below the proposed footing bottom for liquefaction
and seismic settlement, or ignoring the City conditions and drilling deep exploration for similar
assessment.

For this project shallow exploration was chosen. A liquefaction assessment for the upper earth
materials follows.
Liquefaction evaluation for soil zone to ten feet below foundation bottom was based on blow
counts from Boring No. 1, a M = 7.2 seismic event from the Newport-Inglewood fault, a
maximum ground acceleration of 0.700g PGAM and a groundwater level at four foot.
Liquefaction analysis, based on these values and field obtained data, is presented in Appendix B.
The results indicate that there is liquefaction potential for the subject site.
Lateral Spreading
The occurrence of liquefaction may cause lateral spreading. Lateral spreading is a phenomenon in
which lateral displacement can occur on the ground surface due to movement of non-liquefied
soils along zones of liquefied soils. For lateral spreading to occur, the liquefiable zone must be
continuous, unconstrained laterally, and free to move along sloping ground toward an unconfined
area.
Considering there is no sloping or unconstrained condition and the (N1)60 values are above 15, it
is our opinion that the potential for lateral spreading negligible.
Earthquake-induced Settlements
Earthquake-induced settlements result from densification of non-cohesive granular soils which
occur as a result of reduction in volume during or after an earthquake event. The magnitude of
settlement that results from the occurrence of liquefaction is typically greater than the settlement
that results solely from densification during strong ground shaking in the absence of liquefaction.
It is understanding that the current City policy, has assigned a seismic settlement potential of
three inches for soils depths of ten to thirty feet and no additional analysis of seismic settlement
for this level should be required.
The seismically induced settlement for the at-grade structure was evaluated based on the
"Evaluation of Settlement in Sands due to Earthquake Shaking" by Kahji Tokimatsu and
H. Bolton Seed, dated August 1987. The analysis was limited to ten feet below the footing
bottom. The result, based on the SPT N-values in Boring No. 1, groundwater table at four feet
below grade and shown in Appendix C, indicates that the estimated settlement (including dry and
saturated sands) is 0.89 inch. According to City policy, the City's shallow mitigation method may
be used since the seismic settlement is less than one inch to a depth of ten feet below proposed
foundations.
Earthquake-Induced Flooding
The failure of dams or other water-retaining structures as a result of earthquakes and strong
ground shaking could result in the inundation of adjacent areas. Due to the lack of a major dam
or water-retaining structure located near the site, the potential of earthquake-induced flooding
affecting the site is considered not to be present.

Tsunamis
7 w. 0. 559018-01
August 28, 2018
Tsunamis are waves generated in large bodies of water as a result of change of seafloor topography
caused by tectonic displacement or landslide.
Based on the City of Newport Beach "Potential Tsunami Runup Inundation Caused by a Submarine
Landslide" map, the subject site is situated in the zone for potential tsunami nm-up as shown on
Plate 5, and is referenced on this plate to be areas below elevation 32 feet. For more information
about tsunami run-up hazards and evacuation routes you are referred to the City website.
GEOTECHNICAL DISCUSSION
The site is within an area subject to liquefaction and liquefaction induced settlements under certain
seismic events. Under current CBC codes, City policy, and industry standards residential structures
subject to seismic hazards are designed to protect life and safety. Under this design objective the
requirements of protecting life and safety could be met but the structure could be damaged. The
damage to the structure could range from minimal to being non-functional. The reduction of risk,
for the occurrence of structural damage from a seismic event, is generally associated with the
structure's foundation system.
Typically the use of a conventional foundation system or a mat foundation system has been utilized
in the area. Based on site conditions, our recommendation is that the proposed residence be
supported by a structural mat foundation system. A structural mat foundation is more rigid than
conventional foundations, and should be more effective in mitigation of structural damage to a
structure during a seismic event.
If the risk associated with this foundation system is not acceptable to the client, the client has the
option of utilizing alternate designs that could decrease the risk of damage to the structure to a level
they perceive as acceptable. Some of these designs could consist of soil modifications, grout
densification, stone columns, piles placed below liquefiable soils, and other methods. Additional
geotechnical exploration and or analysis would be required to provide geotechnical design
recommendation for these mitigation measures, and would be at the request of the client under
separate contract.
Development of the site as proposed is considered feasible from a soils engineering standpoint,
provided that the recommendations stated herein are incorporated in the design and are
implemented in the field. The proposed grading and or construction will not have an adverse effect
on adjacent property or vice versa, provided site work is performed in accordance with the
guidelines of project geotechnical reports, approved plans, applicable codes, industry standards,
City inspections, and required geotechnical observation and testing.
The following recommendations are subject to change based on review of final foundation and
grading plans.

Grading plans were not available at the time this report was prepared. It is anticipated that grading
will consist mainly of over-excavation and recompaction for uniform support of the foundations
and slabs.
GENERAL GRADING NOTES
All existing structures shall be demolished and all vegetation and debris shall be stripped and
hauled from the site. The entire grading operation shall be done in accordance with the attached
"Specifications for Grading".
Any import fill materials to the site shall not have an expansion index greater than 20, and shall be
tested and approved by our laboratory. Samples must be submitted 48 hours prior to import.
Grading and/or foundation recommendations are subject to modification upon review of final plans
by the Geotechnical Engineer. Please submit plans to COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc. when
available.
GRADING RECOMMENDATIONS
Removal and recompaction of existing earth materials will be required to provide adequate
support for foundations and site improvements. Earthwork for foundation support shall include
the entire building pad and shall extend a minimum of three feet outside exterior footing lines.
Deeper removal and recompaction of onsite soils near the rear of the properties is anticipated.
Based on in place densities and consolidation tests, soils found at a depth of three to four feet below
existing grade and deeper have adequate geotechnical properties to provide adequate support of
proposed fills and the structure; as such, removals to a depth of three to four feet below existing
grade or to one foot below proposed footing bottoms, whichever is greater, are anticipated;
however, field observations made at the time of grading shall determine final removal limits.
To provide adequate support along property lines excavations shall be sloped at a 1:1 (H:V)
gradient from property line down to the excavation bottom. As fill soils are placed the grading
contractor shall bench into the 1: 1 construction cut to final grade. Temporary excavations along
property lines are shown on Plate 4.
During earthwork operations, a representative of COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC. shall be present
to verify compliance with these recommendations. Subsequent to approval of the excavation
bottom, the area shall be scarified six inches, moisture conditioned as needed, and compacted to
a minimum of 90% relative compaction.
Fill soils shall be placed in six to eight inch loose lifts, moisture conditioned as needed, and
compacted to a minimum of 90% relative compaction. This process shall be utilized to finish
grade. Due to the caving nature of the on-site sands, it is highly recommended that the all backfill
soils be mixed with Portland cement to mitigate the potential for caving during the foundation
excavations.

Grading for hardscape areas shall consist of removal and recompaction of loose surficial soils.
Removal depths are estimated at one to two feet. Earthwork shall be performed in accordance
with previously specified methods.
FOUNDATIONS -RESIDENCE
The residence shall be supported by a mat foundation.
The structural engineer should design the thickness and reinforcement requirements for the mat
foundation for the building based on the anticipated loading conditions. The mat foundation slab
should be at least twelve inches thick, with perimeter footing a minimum of 24 inches below the
lowest adjacent grade. A modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pci may be used in the design of
the mat foundation. Calculations are provided on Plate J. Reinforcement shall be determined by
the structural engineer.
The mat foundation may utilize an allowable bearing value of 1,800 pounds per square foot. This
value is for dead plus live load and may be increased by 1/3 for total including seismic and wind
loads where allowed by code. Calculations are provided on Plate H. The structural engineer's
reinforcing requirements should be followed if more stringent.
Alternate foundations and or additional ground modification techniques, for support of the
structure, can be addressed upon request of the project manager. All foundation plans are subject
to review and approval of the soils engineer.
All foundation bottoms shall be observed and approved by Coast Geotechnical prior to placement
of the capillary break.
FOUNDATIONS-SECONDARY STRUCTURES
Property line walls, planter walls, and other incidental foundations may utilize conventional
foundation design.
Continuous spread footings or isolated pads placed a minimum depth of 24 inches below lowest
adjacent grade may utilize an allowable bearing value of 1,500 pounds per square foot. This
value is for dead plus live load and may be increased 1/3 for total including seismic and wind
loads where allowed by code.
Where isolated pads are utilized, they shall be tied in two directions into adjacent foundations
with grade beams.
Footing excavations shall be observed by a representative of COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc.,
prior to placement of steel or concrete to verify competent soil conditions. If unacceptable soil
conditions are exposed mitigation will be recommended.
Foundations shall be reinforced with a minimum of four #5 bars, two top and two bottom, The
structural engineer's recommendations for reinforcement shall be utilized where more severe.

LATERAL DESIGN

August 28, 2018
Lateral restraint at the base of footings and on slabs may be assumed to be the product of the dead
load and a coefficient of friction of 0.35. Passive pressure on the face of footings may also be used
to resist lateral forces. A passive pressure of zero at the surface of finished grade, increasing at the
rate of 300 pounds per square foot of depth to a maximum value of 3,000 pounds per square foot,
may be used for compacted fill at this site. Calculations are provided on Plate I. If passive pressure
and friction are combined when evaluating the lateral resistance, then the value of the passive
pressure should be limited to 2/3 of the values given above.
BULKHEAD upgrade
The bulkhead upgrade may utilize the following design values with submerged conditions:
Bearing Value
Passive Pressure
Coefficient of Friction
Soil Parameters
Unit weight= 110 (moist)
Unit weight= 125 pcf (saturated)
Cohesion = 100 pcf
Angle of internal Friction= 32°
1,800 psf & 1,200 psf submerged
300 psf/ft & 160 psf/ft submerged
0.35
Walls restrained from deflection should be designed for "at-rest" earth pressures. For level backfill
conditions, an equivalent fluid pressure of 51. 7 pounds per cubic foot may be used for design. The
surcharge pressure of adjacent buildings should be added to these soil pressures.
Code requires that retaining walls with more than six feet of backfill be designed for seismic loads.
For a retaining wall under earthquake loading the designed equivalent fluid pressure is sensitive to
the ground motion value applied to analysis. Our understanding is that the current reviewer for the
City of Newport Beach utilizes Sos for the ground motion and allows the consulting engineer to
utilize his allowed reduction to determine the seismic coefficient Kh.
Calculations for determining Kh for restrained and unrestrained conditions are appended on Plate L.
For unrestrained conditions a Kh value of 0.227 was determined. Use of this value in a simplified
analysis method allowed by the reviewer, determines that a seismic load of 18. 7 pcf should be
utilized by the structural engineer.
For restrained conditions a Kh value of 0.387 was determined. Use of this value in a simplified
analysis method, determines that a seismic load of 31.9 pcf should be utilized by the structural
engmeer.

Due to liquefaction potential at the subject site, it is recommended that a mat foundation be used
for the proposed structure. The minim.um thickness of the mat slab is twelve inches.
Slab on grades shall be designed in accordance with 2016 CBC codes.
Site soils are non plastic.
Slab-on-grade areas shall be supported on engineered fill compacted to a minimum of 90%
relative compaction and exhibiting proper moisture content. Subgrade soil should be kept moist
prior to casting the slab. However, if the soils at grade become disturbed during construction,
they should be brought to approximately optimum moisture content and rolled to a firm,
unyielding condition prior to placing concrete. COAST GEOTECHNICAL, Inc. to verify
adequacy of subgrade spoils prior to placement of sand or vapor barrier.
Sub grade soils shall exhibit a minimum of 90% relative compaction to the depth determined by
the geotechnical engineer. The soil should be kept moist prior to casting the slab; however, if the
soils at grade become disturbed during construction, they should be brought to approximately
optimum moisture content and rolled to a firm, unyielding condition prior to placing concrete.
Section 4.505.2.1 of the California Green Code requires the use of a capillary break between the
slab subgrade and vapor barrier. The capillary break material shall comply with the requirements
of the local jurisdiction and shall be a minimum of four inches in thickness. The City of Newport
Beach requires the use of four inches of gravel (1/2-inch or larger clean aggregate). The capillary
break materials should be compacted to a uniform condition prior to placement of the required
vapor retarder/barrier. A heavy filter fabric (Mirafi 140N) shall be placed over the gravels prior to
placement of the recommended vapor barrier to minimize puncturing of the vapor barrier.
Slab areas shall be underlain by a vapor barrier consisting of an engineered plastic film ( as
described by ASTM:E-1745). The vapor retarder should be properly lapped and sealed. In areas
where a moisture sensitive floor covering will be used and/or where moisture infiltration is not
desirable, a vapor barrier with a permeance ofless than O.Olperms ( consistent with ACI 302.2R-06)
such as 15 mil. Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier, or equivalent should be considered, and a qualified
water proofing specialist should be consulted.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that the vapor barrier/retarder is not perforated
prior to placement of concrete and is installed in accordance the appropriate building codes and
manufacturer recommendations.

The maximum total post-construction static settlement is anticipated to be on the order of 1/2 inch.
Differential settlements are expected to be less than 1/2 inch, measured between adjacent structural
elements over a distance of 40 feet. Seismic induced settlements are addressed under previous
sections.
SUBSIDENCE & SHRINKAGE
Subsidence over the site is anticipated to be negligible. Shrinkage of reworked materials should be
in the range of 5 to 10 percent.
EXPANSIVE SOILS
Results of expansion tests indicate that the near surface soils have a very low expansion potential.

are encountered. These areas require testing just prior to placing concrete. Hardscape shall be at
least four inches thick and reinforced with #3 bars on 18 inch centers both ways.

An on-site soil sample showed a soluble sulfate content of 49 ppm, which is a negligible sulfate
exposure. Concrete with Type II 2,500 psi may be utilized; however, the saltwater environ may
cause damage to exposed concrete and a designed concrete should be considered.
DRAINAGE
Positive drainage should be planned for the site. Drainage should be directed away from structures
via non-erodible conduits to suitable disposal areas. The structure should utilize roof gutters and
down spouts tied directly to yard drainage.
Pipes used for storm/site water drainage should be stout enough to withstand the force of
compaction of the soils above. This force can be considerable, causing some weaker pipes to
collapse. Drainage pipes shall have a smooth interior. Pipes with a corrugated interior can cause the
buildup of deleterious matter, which can impede or block the flow of site waters and, as such, are
not recommended. All storm/site water drainage pipes should be in conformance with the
requirements of Table 1102.5 of the 2013 California Plumbing Code.
Unlined flowerbeds, planters, and lawns should not be constructed against the perimeter of the
structure. If such landscaping ( against the perimeter of a structure) is planned, it should be properly
drained and lined or provided with an underground moisture barrier. Irrigation should be kept to a
minimum.
Section 1804.4 of the 2016 CBC recommends five percent slope away from structures for
landscape areas within ten feet of the residence. Hardscape areas shall be sloped a minimum of two
percent where within ten feet of the residence unless allowed otherwise by the building official.
Minimum drainage shall be one percent for hardscape areas and two percent for all other areas.
We do not recommend the use of bottomless trench drains to conform with infiltration best
management practice (BMP) such as infiltration trenches, infiltration basins, dry wells, permeable
pavements or similar systems designed primarily to percolate water into the subsurface soils within
five feet of foundations. Due to the physical characteristics of the site earth materials, infiltration of
waters into the subsurface earth materials has a risk of adversely affecting below grade structures,
building foundations and slabs, and hardscape improvements. From a geotechnical viewpoint
surface drainage should be directed to the street.
The WQMP requirement shall be addressed by the Civil Engineer.
ENGINEERING CONSULTATION, TESTING & OBSERVATION
We will be pleased to provide additional input with respect to foundation design once methods of
construction have been determined.
Grading, foundation and shoring plans should be reviewed by this office prior to commencement of
grading so that appropriate recommendations, if needed, can be made.

Areas to receive fill should be observed when unsuitable materials have been removed and prior to
placement of fill. Fill should be observed and tested for compaction as it is placed.
SUPPLEMENTAL CONSULTING
During construction, a number of reviews by this office are recommended to verify site
geotechnical conditions and conformance with the intentions of the recommendations for
construction. Although not all possible geotechnical observation and testing services are required.
The following site reviews are advised, some of which will probably be required by the City of
Newport Beach:
• Grading and excavations review for main structures
• Foundation excavations
• Slab sub grade compaction testing prior to placement of the capillary break or waste slab
• Slab steel placement, primary and appurtenant structures
• Compaction of utility trench backfill
• Bulkhead wall backfills
• Hardscape subgrade compaction
AGENCY REVIEW
All soil, geologic and structural aspects of the proposed development are subject to the review and
approval of the governing agency(s). It should be recognized that the governing agency(s) can
dictate the manner in which the project proceeds. They could approve or deny any aspect of the
proposed improvements and/or could dictate which foundation and grading options are acceptable.
Supplemental geotechnical consulting in response to agency requests for additional information
could be required and will be charged on a time and materials basis.
LIMITATIONS
This report presents recommendations pertaining to the subject site based on the assumption that
the subsurface conditions do not deviate appreciably from those disclosed by our exploratory
excavations. Our recommendations are based on the technical information, our understanding of the
proposed construction, and our experience in the geotechnical field. We do not guarantee the
performance of the project, only that our engineering work and judgments meet the standard of care
of our profession at this time.
In view of the general conditions in the area, the possibility of different local soil conditions may
exist. Any deviation or unexpected condition observed during construction should be brought to the
attention of the Geotechnical Engineer. In this way, any supplemental recommendations can be
made with a minimum of delay necessary to the project.
If the proposed construction will differ from our present understanding of the project, the existing
information and possibly new factors may have to be evaluated. Any design changes and the
finished plans should be reviewed by the Geotechnical Consultant. Of particular importance would

APPENDIXA
w. 0. 559018-01
August 28, 2018
This appendix contains a description of the field investigation, laboratory testing procedures and
results, site plan, exploratory logs and expansive soil recommendations.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation was performed on July 24, 2018, consisting of the excavation of a boring by
a limited access drilling equipment (for Boring No. 1) and two borings by hand auger equipment
(for Boring No. 2 and Boring No. 3) at the locations shown on the attached Site Plan, Plate 2. As
drilling progressed, personnel from this office visually classified the soils encountered, and secured
representative samples for laboratory testing.
Description of the soils encountered is presented on the attached Boring Logs. The data presented
on this log is a simplification of actual subsurface conditions encountered and applies only at the
specific boring location and the date excavated. It is not warranted to be representative of
subsurface conditions at other locations and times.
LABORATORY TESTING
Field samples were examined in the laboratory and a testing program was then established to
develop data for preliminary evaluation of geotechnical conditions.
Field moisture and dry densities were calculated for each undisturbed sample. The samples were
obtained per ASTM:D-2937 and tested under ASTM:D-2216.
Maximum density-optimum moisture relationships were established per ASTM:D-1557 for use in
evaluation of in-situ conditions and for future use during grading operations.
Direct shear tests were performed in accordance with ASTM:D-3080, on specimens at near
saturation under various normal loads. The results of tests are based on an 80% peak strength or
ultimate strength, whichever is lower, and are attached as Plates E and F.
Expansion tests were performed on typical specimens of natural soils in accordance with the
procedures outlined in ASTM:D-4829.
A consolidation test was performed on a representative sample based on ASTM:D-2435. The
consolidation plot is presented on Plate G.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRADING
SITE CLEARING
All existing vegetation shall be stripped and hauled from the site.
PREPARATION
After the foundation for the fill has been cleared, plowed or scarified, it shall be disced or bladed until
it is uniform and free from large clods, brought to a proper moisture content and compacted to not less
than ninety percent of the maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM:D-1557 (5 layers -25
blows per layer; 10 lb. hammer dropped 18"; 4" diameter mold).
MATERIALS
On-site materials may be used for fill, or fill materials shall consist of materials approved by the Soils
Engineer and may be obtained from the excavation of banks, borrow pits or any other approved
source. The materials used should be free of vegetable matter and other deleterious substances
and shall not contain rocks or lumps greater than six inches in maximum dimension.
PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTING FILL MATERIALS
The selected fill material shall be placed in layers which, when compacted, shall not exceed six
inches in thickness. Each layer shall be spread evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during the
spreading to ensure uniformity of material and moisture of each layer.
Where moisture of the fill material is below the limits specified by the Soils Engineer, water shall be
added until the moisture content is as required to ensure thorough bonding and thorough compaction.
Where moisture content of the fill material is above the limits specified by the Soils Engineer, the fill
materials shall be aerated by blading or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content is as
specified.
-
After each layer has been placed, mixed and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly compacted to not
less than 90 percent of the maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM:D-1557 (5 layers -25
blows per layer; 10 lbs. hammer dropped 18 inches; 4" diameter mold) or other density tests which
will attain equivalent results.
Compaction shall be by sheepfoot roller, multi-wheel pneumatic tire roller, track loader or other types
of acceptable rollers.
PA2019-100
COAST GEOTECHNICAL, INC.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRADING PAGE2
Rollers shall be of such design that they will be able to compact the fill to the specified density.
Rolling shall be accomplished while the fill material is at the specified moisture content. Rolling of
each layer shall be continuous over the entire area and the roller shall make sufficient trips to ensure
that the desired density has been obtained. The final surface of the lot areas to receive slabs on grade
should be rolled to a dense, smooth surface.
The outside of all fill slopes shall be compacted by means of sheepfoot rollers or other suitable
equipment. Compaction operations shall be continued until the outer nine inches of the slope is at
least 90 percent compacted. Compacting of the slopes may be progressively in increments of three
feet to five feet of fill height as the fill is brought to grade, or after the fill is brought to its total height.
Field density tests shall be made by the Soils Engineer of the compaction of each layer of fill. Density
tests shall be made at intervals not to exceed two feet of fill height provided all layers are tested.
Where the sheepfoot rollers are used, the soil may be disturbed to a depth of several inches and
density readings shall be taken in the compacted material below the disturbed surface. When these
readings indicate that the density of any layer of fill or portion there is below the required 90 percent
density, the particular layer or portion shall be reworked until the required density has been obtained.
The grading specifications should be a part of the project specifications.
The Soil Engineer shall review the grading plans prior to grading.
INSPECTION
The Soil Engineer shall provide continuous supervision of the site clearing and grading operation so
that he can verify the grading was done in accordance with the accepted plans and specifications.
SEASONAL LIMITATIONS
No fill material shall be placed, spread or rolled during unfavorable weather conditions. When heavy
rains interrupt work, fill operations shall not be resumed until the field tests by the Soils Engineer
indicate the moisture content and density of the fill are as previously specified.
EXPANSIVE SOIL CONDITIONS
Whenever expansive soil conditions are encountered, the moisture content of the fill or recompacted
soil shall be as recommended in the expansive soil recommendations included herewith.

LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE CALCULATIONS
Retaining structures such as retaining walls, basement walls, and bulk-heads are commonly
used in foundation engineering, and they support almost vertical slopes of earth masses.
Proper design and construction of these structures require a through knowledge of the lateral

lateral forces are due to lateral earth pressure.

CALCULATIONS OF SEISMICALLY-INDUCED SETTLEMENT
Calculations of seismically-induced settlement for the subject site are performed based
on the 11 Evaluation Of Settlement In Sands Due To Earthquake Shaking 11 by Kohji
Tokimatsu and H. Bolton Seed, dated August 1987.
The calculations of the seismically-induced settlement are as follows:
1. Calculate the effective overburden pressure at the center of each layer.
2. The SPT N-value needs to be corrected depending on equipment used and a0'.
(N1 )so = Nm CN CE Cs CR Cs
Where CN = (Pa/ 0 0') 112 < 2, Pa= 2089 psf
(N1)60 = corrected N value
Nm = field N value
CN = correction factor depending on effective overburden pressure
0 0' = effective overburden pressure, in psf
3. Calculate the maximum shear modulus

4. From the depth in Figure 1, find the stress reduction coefficient, rd
5. Calculate Yeff ( Geff I Gmax)
Yeff ( Geff I Gmax) = 0.65 amax Oo rd / ( g Gmax)
amax = 0.7 g and M = 7.2 ( for the subject site)
Yeff = effective shear strain induced by earthquake shaking

Thomas F. Blake (Fugro-West, Inc., Ventura, Calif., vmtten commun.) approximated the simplified
base curve plotted on Figure 2 by the following equation:
a + ex + ex 2 + gx 3
CRR 7 5 = --------=--
. 1 + bx + dx 2 + fx 3 + hx 4
(4)
where CRR7 _5 is the cyclic resistance ratio for magnitude 7.5 earthquakes; x = (N1)60 ; a= 0.048; b
= -0.1248; c = -0.004721; d = 0.009578; e = 0.0006136; f = -0.0003285; g = -l.673E-05; and h =
3.714E-06. This equation is valid for (N 1)60 less than 30 and may be used in spreadsheets and other
analytical techniques to approximate the simplified base curve for engineering calculations.
Robertson and Wride (this report) indicate that Equation 4 is not applicable for (N 1)60 less than three,
but the general consensus of workshop participants is that the curve defined by Equation 4 should
be extended to intersect the intercept at a CRR value of about 0.05.
Correlations for Fines Content and Soil Plasticity
Another change was the quantification of the fines content correction to better fit the empirical data
and to support computations with spreadsheets and other electronic computational aids. In the
original development, Seed et al. (1985) found that for a given (N 1)60 , CRR increases with increased
fines content. It is not clear, however, -whether the CRR increase is because of greater liquefaction
resistance or, smaller penetration resistance as a consequence of the general increase of
compressibility and decrease of permeability with increased fines content. Based on the empirical
data available, Seed et al; developed CRR curves for various fines contents as shown on Figure 2.
After a lengthy review by the workshop participants, consensus was gained that the correction for
fines content should be a function of penetration resistance as well as fines content. The participants
also agreed that other grain characteristics, such as soil plasticity may affect liquefaction resistance;
hence any correlation based solely on penetration resistance and fines content should be used with
~ngineering judgement and caution. The following equations, developed by I.M. Idriss with
assistance from R.B. Seed are recommended for correcting standard penetration resi:stance
determined for silty sands to an equivalent clean sand penetration resistance:
(5)
where ex and p are coefficients determined from the following equations:
ex= 0 forFC s 5% (6a)
ex= exp[l.76 -(190/FC2)l for 5% < FC < 35% (6b)
a=5.0 forFC ~ 35% (6c)
p = 1.0 . forFC s 5% (7a)
p = [0.99 + (FCu/1000)] for 5% < FC < 35% (7b)
p = 1.2 forFC ~ 35% (7c)
where FC is the fines content measured from laboratory gradation tests on retrieved soil samples.

Section 11.4. 1 -Mapped Acceleration Parameters
Note: Ground motion values provided below are for the direction of maximum horizontal
spectral response acceleration. They have been converted from corresponding geometric
mean ground motions computed by the USGS by applying factors of 1.1 (to obtain Ss) and
1.3 (to obtain S1), Maps in the 2010 ASCE-7 Standard are provided for Site Class B.
Adjustments for other Site Classes are made, as needed, in Section 11.4.3.
From Figure 22-1 cii Ss = 1.705 g
