A. M. ENGINEERING AND TESTING, INC. <br /> Geotechnical Exploration for Proposed Restrooms and Boardwalk <br /> Wabasso Beach Park, Indian River County, Florida <br /> Project No , PSL1935B- 1 <br /> Entrance Ramp Pad and Footing <br /> After the project site has been prepared as outlined below, the entrance ramp can be supported on <br /> shallow spread footings . The footings can be proportioned using a maximum net soil bearing <br /> pressure of 2, 500 pounds per square foot (psf) . Although computed footing dimensions may be <br /> less, we recommend minimum widths of 18 inches for strip footings and 24 inches for square <br /> footings . The bottom of the footings should bear at least 18 inches below the adjacent exterior <br /> grade. <br /> Site Preparation Recommendations — Entrance Pad and Footing <br /> The entrance ramp bottom of footings and pads should be compacted in accordance with the <br /> general site preparation procedures in Attachment A, except that only the upper foot of soil needs <br /> to be compacted to at least 95 percent of the modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM <br /> D1557) . The fill for the foundation pads should comply with the indications in Section IV of <br /> Attachment A. <br /> CLOSURE <br /> This report is for the exclusive use of Indian River Co " <br /> unty Department of Public Works and the <br /> designers of the previously described project, and may only be applied to this specific project. <br /> The right to rely on this report may not be assigned without written permission of A.

No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. We do not <br /> guarantee performance in any respect, only that our work meets normal standards of professional <br /> care. Our recommendations are based on the project information furnished to us, the results of <br /> our field explorations and our past experience. They do not reflect variations in subsurface <br /> conditions that may exist between our borings and in unexplored areas of the site. The nature and <br /> extent of such variations may not become evident until further explorations are made or <br /> construction is underway. Should such variations be observed, we recommend that A. M. <br /> Engineering and Testing, Inc . be requested to observe the actual site conditions and re-evaluate <br /> our recommendations, if necessary. <br /> 5 w <br />
