- Overview
The development consisted of a school building. The proposed building may have two stories. The development will also consist of a parking area and bus and drop-off lanes adjacent to 50th Ave. NW.
- Project Goal
The scope of work for this geotechnical site investigation includes:
- Determining subsurface soil profiles and their geotechnical characteristics;
- Determining groundwater and sloughing conditions;
- Comments on site preparation
- Comments on frost heave and soil swelling;
- Recommendations of foundation types and soil design parameters;
- Recommendations for design and construction of grade-supported slabs;
- Recommendations of soil design parameters for basement walls;
- Comments on surface and subsurface drainage;
- Recommendations of asphalt pavement structure for at-grade parking;
- Comments on sulphate attacks on concrete; and
- Seismic site classification in accordance to Table 4.1.8.4.A of the 2005 National Building Code of Canada.
- Results
- Fifteen geotechnical boreholes (BH17-01 to BH17-17) were drilled on June, 2017 at the project site.
Laboratory Testing was carried out on selected soil samples which included:
- In-situ moisture content tests ASTM D2216
- Atterberg limit tests ASTM D4318
- Sulphate tests ASTM C1580
