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 , PSL1935B4 <br /> We have not received any information regarding loading for the structures . We assume that the <br /> maximum column and wall loads will be 20 kips and 3 kips per linear foot, respectively . <br /> If the actual loads are substantially larger than those estimated or the elevations are different, A. <br /> M . Engineering should be advised promptly so that we can review our recommendations and <br /> revise them if necessary. <br /> FIELD EXPLORATIONS <br /> The subsurface conditions at the project site were explored on September 27 and October 1 , <br /> 2007 , with five (5) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings. The SPT borings were performed in <br /> t general compliance with ASTM D 1586 , "Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils" . <br /> The approximate locations of the explorations are noted on the Boring Location Plan. Boring <br /> logs presenting the visual classification of the soil samples obtained from the borings are <br /> attached at the end of this report. The depths indicated on the boring logs are below the ground <br /> surface at the time the borings were completed. <br /> FINDINGS <br /> The terrain at the project site appeared to generally match the topographic map provided to us. <br /> Vegetation at the site included sea oats . A three-story Disney resort structure was located to the <br /> south. The Atlantic Ocean was to the east. Based on the site plan elevations , we estimate that the <br /> locations of the restrooms and boardwalk had ground surface elevations of + 15 to + 16 feet <br /> NGVD . <br /> The subsurface soils encountered in the borings generally consisted of sand with negligible silt <br /> and varying amounts of shell fragments to the maximum boring depth of 40 feet . The SPT N- <br /> values (blow counts) indicated that the sands were generally loose to firm to depths of <br /> approximately 14 feet and then dense to very dense to the boring termination depths of 16 , 30 , <br /> and 40 feet. <br /> The ground water table was not able to be readily determined in the borings . However, ground <br /> water was encountered at 15 feet below the existing grade in the boring SPT- 5 . We anticipate <br /> that the water table will normally be at elevation +2 feet, and that it will fluctuate with the tides <br /> and ocean conditions . <br /> LV <br /> r . <br /> 2 <br /> rr <br />
