UPDATED GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
ESTIGATION
11593 UPI XND WAS(
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Associated Terra Consultants, Inc. has reviewed the Geotechnical Investigation, Report by
Lee Engineers, dated May 8, 1991, and have become the Geotechnical Consultants of
record for this site. This report presents the findings, conclusions, and recommendations
of our Updated Geotechnical Investigation for the proposed house at 11593 Upland Way,
Cupertino, Santa Clara County, California. The scope of work performed for this
investigation included a project site soils reconnaissance; the excavation, inspection, and
logging of one exploratory soil boring to investigate subsurface soils conditions; recovery *of
representative samples from the boring; performance of laboratory testing to investigate
the physical and engineering properties of the sample; soils engineering analysis of the
data gathered during the investigation; and preparation of this written report summarizing
the findings, conclusions, and recommendations based upon the investigation.
The data obtained and the analyses performed were for the purpose of investigating the
strength characteristics of the soils at the project site as a basis for. making design
recommendations for the construction of a proposed new house. This investigation is not
and shall not be understood or construed to be a.geologic or environmental investigation or
investigation of geologic or environmental conditions at or affecting the project site.
PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is located at 11593 Upland Way in .the city of Cupertino, California. It is
a rectangular shaped parcel of approximately one third of an acre, bounded on the east by
Upland Way, and on the north, south, and west by residential lots. Plate 1 is the Site
Vicinity Map. Topographically the project site is an area characterized by gentle slopes.
The elevation of the property is approximately 400 feet (above Mean Sea Level).
Vegetation at the project site consists of some native deciduous trees, native grasses, and
weeds. Drainage of the lot is by sheet, flow to the city sewer system and eventually to the

northeast toward Regnart Creek. This creek flows northward where it joins up with other. -
small creeks, and eventually empties into the San Francisco Bay.
(FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation consisted of a surface. site reconnaissance, and the excavation,
inspection, and logging of one exploratory boring at the approximate location shown on
the Site Plan (Plate 2). The exploratory boring was logged and sampled on February 4,
2000, by our Staff Engineering Geologist, under the direction of the Soils Engineer.
Representative soils samples were taken from selected depths in the boring using standard
2 -1/2 -inch ID brass liners six inches long. Upon completion of this field investigation, the
excavations were loosely backfilled with native soils.
SOILS AND BEDROCK CONDI'T'IONS
Soils and Artificial Fill - Detailed logs and descriptions of the soil units encountered are
contained in the Log of Boring B-1 (Plate 3). The surficial unit encountered was an
approximately 6 -inch thick layer of baserock, used in the construction of the temporary
gravel driveway. The underlying unit was a sandy clay, reddish brown in color, with
minor amounts of gravel, approximately 7 feet thick. It was slightly .damp with moderate
plasticity and a hard consistency. The unit beneath the sandy clay was another sandy
clay, darker brown in color, damp to moist; and a high plasticity. This unit became
increasingly sandy with depth, until another unit was determined to be present at
approximately 15 feet. This unit, a sandy clay, was brown in color, moist, and with a
high plasticity and a hard consistency. The boring was terminated at 16-1/2 feet: No free
groundwater was encountered in the boring.
The units found in this boring, B1, correspond very well with borings logged by Lee
Engineers in May of 1991. Detailed logs and descriptions of the soil units encountered are
contained in the Logs of Prior Exploratory Borings TB1, TB2, and TB3 (Plate 4). These
borings were drilled to various depths. TB1, the deepest boring, was drilled to a depth of
31 feet. No groundwater was encountered in any of these borings.
Bedrock - No bedrock was encountered during borings.
Ground Mater and Springs - Free ground water was not encountered in any of the
excavations, and no indication of shallow ground water was observed in the field.

SOILS AND BEDROCK CONDITIONS.
Soils and Artificial Pill - Detailed logs and descriptions of the soil units encountered are
contained in the Log of Boring B-1 (Plate 3). The surficial unit encountered was an
approximately 6 -inch thick layer of baserock, used in the construction of the temporary
gravel driveway. The underlying unit was a sandy clay, reddish brown in color,, with
minor amounts of gravel, approximately 7 feet thick. It was slightly damp with moderate
plasticity and a hard consistency. The unit beneath the sandy clay was another sandy
clay, darker brown in color, damp to moist; and a high plasticity. This unit became

(LABORATORY INVESTIGATION
April 20, 2000
A laboratory -testing program was performed to investigate the physical and engineering
properties of the soils at the project site. All the samples recovered were tested for
moisture content and dry density. One direct shear test was performed on a selected
sample to help investigate the strength characteristics of the soils. A summary of the test
results is presented in Tables A.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
1. The project site is suitable for the construction of the proposed house, provided the
recommendations set forth in this report are incorporated into the design considerations,
and project plans and specifications. Existing project site organic -free soils can be used at
the direction of the Field Engineer.
2. This investigation' and report are, not and shall not be construed to be a geologic or
environmentalinvestigation or investigation of geologic or environmental conditions at or
affecting the project site.
Grading
3. We do not anticipate that extensive grading will be performed during the proposed
construction, but have included 'recommendations here for the placement of fill and control
of any grading operations at the site. All fill placed on the site shall be compacted fill.
4. We did not observe any subsurface structures, but should they nevertheless exist in
the area to be graded, they and any surficial structures that will riot be a part of the final
development shall be removed prior to any grading, operations. This includes such things
as septic tanks, trenches, concrete blocks., asphalt, foundations, utilities, or, pipelines.
These objects shall be accurately located- on the grading plans to assist the Field Engineer
in establishing proper control over their removal.
5. All organic surface material and debris, including grass or weeds, approximately four
to six inches deep shall be stripped prior to any grading operations from alt. areas that are

to receive engineered fill. The exact depth of required stripping shall be determined in the
field. These organically contaminated soils may be stockpiled for later use in landscaping.
ping.
6. Depressions left by the removal of any surface and subsurface structures shall be
cleaned of all debris and backfilled with compacted engineered fill:The material
shllplaced in lifts not exceeding eight inches in uncompacted thickness and compactedatoba
minimum degree of compaction of 90 percent as determined by ;the ASTM D1557
procedure (current edition). The upper six inches of subgrade soil beneath pavements shall
be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent. This operation must be conducted
observation of Associated Terra Consultants, Inc.. under the
7. After removing all subsurface structures, and after stripping off the organically
contaminated surficial soil, the areas that will receive fill shall be ripped by machine to an
average depth of at least 12 inches and thoroughly stripped of roots, vegetation, and oth '
deleterious matter. er
8. Following the structure removal, stripping, and ripping operations, the native soil,
wherever fill will be placed, shall be properly compacted as engineered fill°
All
uncompacted or loose fill material present on the project site shall be ovexcavated and
recompacted before placement of any engineered fill.
Subgrade Preparation
9. After the project site has been properly cleared and stripped and the necessary
excavations made, the exposed surface native soil subgrade shall be scarified to a
minimum depth of six inches, moisture conditioned with water to at least three percent
above the laboratory established optimum moisture content, and compacted to at
P P least 90
percent compaction as determined by the ASTM D1557procedure (current edition).
10. All engineered fill, whether native or' imported soil, shall be placed in uniform
horizontal lifts of not more than eight inches in uncompacted thickness. Imported soils
materials shall be compacted to not less than 90 percent. relative compaction in
accordance with the ASTM D1557 procedure. Native soils materials shall be moisture -
conditioned with water to at least three percent above the optimum moisture content and
compacted to between 87 and 92 percent compaction as determined by the ASTM D1557
procedure. Before compaction begins, the fill shall be brought to approximate optimum
moisture content that will permit proper compaction by either: (1) aerating the material f
it is too wet, or (2) spraying the material with water if it is too dry. Each lift
rY shall be

thoroughly mixed before compaction to assure a uniform distribution of water content.
When fill material includes rocks, nesting of rocks will not be permitted, and all voids
must be carefully filled and properly compacted. No rocks larger than four inches in
diameter shall be used for the top two feet of fill.
11. Imported soils materials shall be a soil or soil -rock mixture which is free from organic
matter or other deleterious substances and have a plasticity index less than 12. The fill
material shall not contain rocks or lumps over six inches in greatest test dimension, and
not more than 15 percent larger -than two and one half (2-1/2) inches. Materials from the
project site, if free of organic matter or other deleterious substances, are suitable for use in
fills except where select material is required. All imported borrow must be approved by
Associated Terra Consultants, Inc. before,being brought to the project site.
Grading Inspection
12. Associated Terra Consultants, Inc. must perform the necessary inspection services
during construction of this project to ensure uniformity with the conditions upon which
these recommendations are based. Associated Terra Consultants.: IInc.. shall be notified at
least two days before any grading begins at the project site to coordinate works in the
field with the contractor.
Treatment After Completion of Grading
13. After grading is completed and the Field Engineer has finished his observation of the
work, no further excavation or filling shall be done except with the approval of and under
the observation of the Field Engineer.
14. It shall be the responsibility of the Grading Contractor to prevent erosion of freshly
graded areas during reconstruction and until such time as permanent drainage and erosion
control measures have been. installed.
Utility Trench Backfill
15. Underground utility trenches shall be backfilled;vvith compacted engineered fill. If on-
site soils are used, the material shall be placed„ in lifts not exceeding eightinches in
uncompacted thickness and compacted to.a rr nirnum of 00 percent relative compaction
by mechanical means only. Imported sand may be used for backfilling trenches provided it
is compacted to at .least 90 percent relative compaction. In all building and pavement
ASSOCIATED TERRA CONSULTANTS, Inc. Page 5

Drainage
22. It is extremely important that strong measures are taken to control and conduct
all
surface arid -subsurface waters -away from the structures on the site so that they do not
adversely affect the foundations of the structure, and that all drainage facilities be
diligently maintained. This is extremely important during periods of prolonged and intense
rainfall. g nse
23. .Only plants requiring q g minimal. water should be planted within five feet of the
foundation(s), and they should be provided with a watering system that delivers only the
minimum amount of water necessary, for proper and healthy plant maintenance and
growth. For example, a drip watering system that can be adjusted to deliver the
appropriate amount of water. We recommend that someone' knowledgeable aboutlant
species be consulted in this matter. P
24. Where concrete walkways or other impermeable structures or barriers may obs
truct
efficient flow, adequate provision must be made such that all water flows freely way
from the. structures and no ponding occurs. This is especially important injacent
to foundations. areas adjacent
25. Flow of water on slopes shall not be permitted. Diversion drainage' berms or
interceptor v -ditches shall be constructed at the crests of all new slopes to prevent this.
The surfaces of the slopes shall be compacted to provide surfaces free of loose material
and be planted with erosion control mix or finished landscaping as soon as possible after
completion of construction.
26. Roof drainage downspouts shall be discharged into controlled drainage facilities to
keep the water away from the foundations. Mose outlets and wateringsystems shall b
arranged in such a way as to prevent excessive moisture from reaching foundation areas,
and to safely dispose of the water into an area equipped with suitable energy-dissi atin
devices, to prevent adverse erosion and effects on slope stability. Sure drama e
systems shall not discharge into the ground. g
27. The final grade shall result in aositive
p gradient of at least two percent. (2%) away
from the foundation in order to provide rapid removal of storm water and to prevent
ponding of water adjacent to the foundation or slabs -on -grade. Six inches of soil may be
backfilled against the exteriors of the foundation and °graded so that it will assist ' y
removal of the water. m the
ASSOCIATED TERRA CONSULTANTS, Inc.
Page 7
File: 177631
April 20, 2000
28. Discharge . locations for all drainage facilities must be chosen carefully and
constructed carefully with erosion protection and energy -dissipating devices so as to
prevent excessive erosion or slope instability on this and other properties. Future
modifications of the project site shall be carefully planned with professional consultation.
This is especially true for any construction activity involving water such as landscape
irrigation systems and swimming pool system construction.
Water Wells
29. Any water wells which may exist in the project site development area and which are
to be abandoned shall be capped according to the requirements of the cognizant authority.
The final elevation of the top of a capped well casing shall be a minimum of three feet
below any adjacent grade prior to any grading operations.
Foundation Recommendations
30. These recommendations shall be used for the design of the proposed house. The
foundation shall be a combination of drilled friction pier and grade beam construction.
Skin friction piers shall be founded a minimum of ten feet deep on a flat surface into
competent soils or bedrock materials.. disregarding the first two feet for design purposes.
Refusal, if encountered, shall be judged by the Soils Engineer' in the field at the time of
drilling. The piers shall be designed for a skin friction of 500 psf, not including the top two
feet. All piers shall have a minimum diameter of 16 inches, and the spacing of the piers
shall be a minimum of at aeast three times the pier diameter. These values are for dead
plus live loads and may be increased by one-third to include short-term seismic and wind
effects. Each pier shall be reinforced with a minimum of four #5 bars vertical,for its full
length, with the reinforcements of the piers tied to the top reinforcement of the grade
beams. If the final grade of the building pad is steeper than existing, Associated Terra
Consultants, Inc. shall be notified for possible supplemental recommendations.
31. Grade beams shall extend a minimum depth of six inches below adjacent pad grade
and shall be reinforced with a minimum of four, #4 bars, two near the top and two near
the bottom. The final design of the foundation and reinforcing required shall be determined
by the Structural Engineer responsible for the foundation design.
32. " Overpour" and concrete leakage shall not, be allowed.
ASSOCIATED TERRA CONSULTANTS, Inc. Page 8
File: 177631
April 20, 2000
33. We do not anticipate appreciable settlements, however slight settlement shall be
considered in the designs of the foundation and retaining wall(s).
Slab -on -Grade Construction
34. Where slabs -on -grade are to be constructed, we recommend that the slabs be
supported on a minimum of 18 inches of compacted, non -expansive structural fill.
Preparation of the natural subgrade soils and ,placement of the structural fill materials
shall be performed in accordance with the preceding recommendations under "Grading."
Prior to final construction of ,the slabs, the subgrade surface shall be compacted to provide
a smooth, firm surface for slab, support. Slab subgrades shall not be allowed to dry and. all
surface shrinkage cracks shall be sealed by soaking prior to slab construction. Slab
reinforcing shall be a minimum of #3 rebar at 18" center -to -center both ways, and shall be
;provided in accordance with the anticipated use and loading of the slab, as designed by
the Structural Engineer. Slabs shall be provided with an expansion joint at least every
eight feet. If the slabs are to be subjected to heavy loading, a subgrade modulus for the on-
site soils and fill materials of 150 pounds per cubic inch is considered applicable for
design. Some movement of the slabs can be expected, and slabs must be structurally
independent of all other structural members. Care must be taken to ensure that the soils
beneathslabs keep a constant moisture. Alternatively, the top five feet may be removed
and replaced with properly compacted, non -expansive fill. Associated Terra Consultants,
Inc. must be contacted for supplemental recommendations if a slab is to be constructed on
top of an area underlain by artificial fill.
35. In areas where floor dampness is undesirable, such as inside a new structure house, a
moisture barrier shall be used. One generally effective system for use in areas not subject
to heavy vehicle loading is to install a capillary break consisting of four inches of free -
draining pea gravel beneath the slab. In order to minimize vapor transmission, an
impermeable membrane shall be placed over the gravel. The membrane shall be, covered
with a' two-inch layer of sand to aid in curing the concrete and to protect the membrane
during construction. The sand shall be slightly moistened just prior to concrete pouring.
The combined thickness of gravel, membrane and sand may be considered as the upper six
inches of the previously recommended non -expansive fill beneath the slab.
Uniform building Code Seismic Design Criteria
34. The site is in the Uniform Building Code (1997) Seismic Zone 4. Active or potentially
active' faults near the site and their potential- earthquake (moment) magnitudes are listed

(4) RETAINING WALL BACKFILL: To observe and test compaction.
(5) UT11JTY TRENCH BACKFILL: To test compaction, unless future settlement
is acceptable.
(6) SURFACE DRAINAGE SYSTEMS: Near their completion.
40. Certain ;inspections are specifically called -for in this report. The lack of specific
requirement for an inspection shall not obviate the responsibilities the owner, developer
and contractor to call for an inspection where common practice, good sense, or prudence
would deem it advisable to do so.
