PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed affordable housing project to be
located at 517 Park Circle, Aspen, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose
of the study was to develop recommendations for the foundation design. The study was
conducted in accordance with our proposal for geotechnical engineering services to Aspen
Housing Partners dated November 22, 2016.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain
information on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field
exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their classification and other engineering
characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to
develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for the proposed
building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained during this study and presents our
conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical engineering considerations based
on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed affordable housing project will consist of a three story building with four units.
The lower level will walkout on the west side. The ground floor will be slab-on-grade. Grading
for the structure is assumed to be relatively minor with cut depths between about 3 to 12 feet.
We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type of construction.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above,
we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is vacant of structures. The site has been graded into upper and lower relatively flat
benches separated with a steep slope. The graded areas are delineated with boulders stacked
around the perimeter. Vegetation consists of grass and weeds with scattered aspen and evergreen
trees.

MINE SUBSIDENCE
Portions of the Aspen area are underlain by mine workings. The workings are primarily
underground tunnels between Aspen and Smuggler Mountains southeast and east of the
downtown area. The workings consist of numerous tunnels beginning a few hundred feet below
the ground surface becoming shallower to the south. Under certain conditions these workings
may collapse and cause surface subsidence. The subject site appears to be on the eastern edge of
these main tunnel workings.
Our borings were relatively shallow and for foundation design only, however, no indications of
subsurface voids were found at the subject site. We believe the risk of subsidence due to the
collapse of underground mine works throughout the service life of the proposed development to
be low. If further evaluation of the mine works subsidence potential is desired, we should be
contacted.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on March 15, 2017. Three exploratory
borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure I to evaluate the subsurface conditions.
The borings were advanced with 4 inch diameter continuous flight augers powered by a truck-
mounted CME-45B drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of H-P/Kumar.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1'/8 inch and 2 inch I.D. spoon samplers. The samplers
were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140 pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586.
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are
shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our
laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils, below about four to twelve feet of fill, consist of silty sandy gravel with cobbles and
H-P4-KU MAR
Project No. 17-7-170
- 3 -
boulders. Drilling in the dense granular soils with auger equipment was difficult due to the
cobbles and boulders and drilling refusal was encountered in the deposit at Boring 2.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture
content and density and gradation analyses. Results of gradation analyses performed on small
diameter drive samples (minus 11 inch fraction) of the coarse granular subsoils are shown on
Figures 4 and 5. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsoils were
slightly moist to moist.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The natural granular soils encountered below the fill are adequate for support of spread footing
foundations. The fill material should be removed from beneath proposed building areas. The
depth, type and extent of the fill could likely vary across the site. The City of Aspen requires an
engineered excavation stabilization plan if proposed foundations are within 15 feet of a
neighboring structure or public travel way. The plan is not required if excavations are less than 5
feet below existing grades or further than 15 feet from travel ways and less than 15 feet deep.
Slope bracing through use of a variety of systems such as chemical grouting, micro piles and soil
nails should be feasible at the site. A shoring contractor should provide design drawings to
support the proposed excavation slopes. Other City requirements may also be applicable.
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings and the nature of
the proposed construction, we recommend the building be founded with spread footings bearing
on the natural granular soils or properly placed and compacted structural fill.
The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing
foundation system.
H-P-KUMAR
Project No. 17-7-170
- 4 -
1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural soils or structural fill should be
designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf. Based on experience, we
expect settlement of footings designed and constructed as discussed in this section
will be about 1 inch or less.
2) The footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and
2 feet for isolated pads.
3) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with
adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. Placement
of foundations at least 42 inches below exterior grade is typically used in this
area.
4) Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span local
anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported length of at least 10 feet.
Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also be designed to resist
lateral earth pressures as discussed in the "Foundation and Retaining Walls"
section of this report.
5) The topsoil, fill material, debris and any loose or disturbed soils should be
removed and the footing bearing level extended down to the relatively dense
natural granular soils. The exposed soils in footing area should then be moistened
and compacted. Structural fill should be a relatively well graded granular soil
compacted to at least 100% of standard Proctor density at near optimum moisture
content and extend beyond the footing edges a distance at least one-half the depth
of fill below the footing.
6) A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all footing
excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions.
FOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS
Foundation walls and retaining structures which are laterally supported and can be expected to
undergo only a slight amount of deflection should be designed for a lateral earth pressure
computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 45 pcf for backfill consisting
of the on-site soils. Cantilevered retaining structures which are separate from the building and
can be expected to deflect sufficiently to mobilize the full active earth pressure condition should
H-P.KUMAR
Project No. 17-7-170
- 5 -
be designed for a lateral earth pressure computed on the basis of an equivalent fluid unit weight
of at least 40 pcf for backfill consisting of the on-site soils.
All foundation and retaining structures should be designed for appropriate hydrostatic and
surcharge pressures such as adjacent footings, traffic, construction materials and equipment. The
pressures recommended above assume drained conditions behind the walls and a horizontal
backfill surface. The buildup of water behind a wall or an upward sloping backfill surface will
increase the lateral pressure imposed on a foundation wall or retaining structure. An underdrain
should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup behind walls.
Backfill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 90% of the maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Backfill placed in pavement and
walkway areas should be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density.
Care should be taken not to overcompact the backfill or use large equipment near the wall, since
this could cause excessive lateral pressure on the wall. Some settlement of deep foundation wall
backfill should be expected, even if the material is placed correctly, and could result in distress to
facilities constructed on the backfill.
The lateral resistance of foundation or retaining wall footings will be a combination of the
sliding resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure against
the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be calculated
based on a coefficient of friction of 0.50. Passive pressure of compacted backfill against the
sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of 400 pcf. The
coefficient of friction and passive pressure values recommended above assume ultimate soil
strength. Suitable factors of safety should be included in the design to limit the strain which will
occur at the ultimate strength, particularly in the case of passive resistance. Fill placed against
the sides of the footings to resist lateral loads should be a granular material compacted to at least
95To of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum.
FLOOR SLABS
The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly loaded slab-on-grade
construction. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be
H-P.KUMAR
Project No. 17-7-170
- 6 -
separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained
vertical movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage
cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the
designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free-
draining gravel should be placed beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This
material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with at least 50% retained on the No. 4 sieve
and less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can consist of the on-
site natural granular soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock. The existing fill
should be evaluated for use as structural fill at the time of construction.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has been our experience in
mountainous areas that local perched groundwater can develop during times of heavy
precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoff can create a perched
condition. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining walls, crawlspace and
basement areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup by an underdrain
system.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill surrounded above
the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should be placed at each level of
excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1% to
a suitable gravity outlet. Free-draining granular material used in the underdrain system should
contain less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a
maximum size of 2 inches. The drain gravel backfill should be at least 11/2 feet deep.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all
times after the building has been completed:
H-P=_KUMAR
Project No. 17-7-170
- 7 -
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided
during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to
at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement and slab areas
and to at least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to
drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum
slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of
21 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas. Free-draining wall backfill should be
covered with filter fabric and capped with about 2 feet of the on-site soils to
reduce surface water infiltration.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill.
5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation should be located at least 5
feet from foundation walls.
DRYWELL
We understand that a drywell or bio-swale will be used for site runoff detention and disposal.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service has identified four hydrologic soil groups (HSG) in
the Aspen area and the site is located in Type C soil having a slow infiltration rate. Results of a
percolation test performed at Boring 2 are shown on Table 2 and indicate an infiltration rate
between 3 to 4 minutes per inch for the natural soils. The groundwater level and bedrock are
generally known to be relatively deep in this area and are not expected to affect the drywell or
bio-swale designs.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the
H-P KUMAR

presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC)developing
in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of
practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the
subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory borings and variations in the subsurface
conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We are not
responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves, we
should provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and
monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations
have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis
or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We recommend on-site observation
of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of
the geotechnical engineer.
