Executive Summary

This report presents the results of the subsurface exploration and our geotechnical recommendations regarding replacement of ConnDOT Bridge No. 00908 carrying Route 202 over the Bantam River in Litchfield, Connecticut. Current plans call for replacement of the bridge with a new two-span structure supported by cast-in-place abutments and a center pier. The bridge width will be increased by approximately 4 feet on each side, which will also require 350 feet of roadway construction on the tapering approaches. Demolition and construction of the bridge will be conducted in two stages, utilizing alternating one-way traffic to maintain flow. Cofferdams and temporary excavation support will be required. New England Boring Contractors, Inc. drilled five borings between November 13 and November 19, 2013. Two additional borings were offset and drilled after shallow refusals occurred. Soil conditions generally consist of granular embankment fill overlying alluvial sands and silts, native sands and gravels, and dense glacial tills. Some of the fill contains cobbles and boulders. Groundwater was encountered approximately 6 feet to 10 feet below the roadway surface. The abutments and center pier will be founded on steel H-piles driven to bedrock. A resistance factor of 0.65 should be used, in conjunction with PDA and CAPWAP testing of one pile at each abutment. The center pier piles and a portion of the abutment piles may be battered as shown on the plans to provide added lateral resistance. We estimate a factored geotechnical resistance of 278 kips will be available for HP 14x73 piles driven to bedrock at the Strength Limit state. Piles should be fitted with driving pile points to protect the tips and improve penetration. The depth to bedrock, as measured by the borings, varied by up to 2 feet transversely across each proposed structure, and up to 7 feet along the full length of the bridge.

There is a business about 150 feet north of the bridge that maintains large compressed gas tanks set on elevated concrete piers. As such, we recommend conducting vibration monitoring during pile installation near the north abutment. A limiting peak particle velocity (PPV) of 0.5 inches/second may be assumed for preliminary discussion, with the final limiting value determined in conjunction with the owner. Per the ConnDOT Bridge Design Manual, this bridge will be required to be analyzed and designed for seismic forces. Based on Standard Penetration Test N-values, the bridge site should be classified as Site Class D. We did not evaluate the potential for liquefaction because the bridge is in Seismic Zone 1, per AASHTO specifications.

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The project consists of replacement of the Route 202 (Torrington Road) bridge over the Bantam River (Bridge No. 00908) in Litchfield, Connecticut. The project location and proposed structures are shown on Figures 1 and 3. GEI Consultants, Inc. (GEI) was retained by Parsons Transportation Group (Parsons) to perform a subsurface exploration and prepare this Geotechnical Report in support of the design effort. This report presents the results of the subsurface explorations, our evaluation of the existing subsurface conditions, and our recommendations for foundation support.

2. Project and Site Descriptions

2.1 Site Description

Bridge No. 00908, built in 1931, is a three-span bridge with a reinforced concrete deck. The bridge carries two lanes of traffic along Route 202 (Torrington Road) over the Bantam River, approximately 0.75 miles northeast of the Route 202 intersection with Route 63 in the Town of Litchfield, as shown on Figure 1.

GEI was provided a copy of the September 2010 Rehabilitation Study Report (RSR) prepared by BL Companies. The bridge substructure consists of two unreinforced concrete abutments, four unreinforced concrete flared wingwalls, and two unreinforced concrete piers. The substructure supports reinforced concrete slabs. Pile foundations are shown on the record plans for the north abutment and pier; however, no piles were actually driven. The as-built plans indicate that steel sheet piling was driven and used as forms for the concrete foundations.

The total structure length is 68 feet and the span length is 20 feet. The existing roadway approaches consist of two 12-foot travel lanes and two 8-foot shoulders. However, the road narrows to match the existing bridge width of 32 feet.

2.2 Project Description

As stated in the RSR, the bridge was found to be structurally deficient and functionally obsolete principally due to insufficient travel width, hydraulic capacity, and structural deficiencies in the deck. The bridge is also listed as “scour critical” due to localized scour at the west end of Pier 1. Plans provided by Parsons dated September 19, 2014, for the Semi-Final design review indicate full replacement of the bridge with a new approximately 93-foot, two-span structure. A simply supported, pre-stressed concrete deck will be supported by cast-in-place reinforced abutments and a center pier. The existing concrete abutments and north pier will be cut off as shown on the plans to serve as scour protection. The bridge width will be increased by approximately 4 feet on each side, which will also require 350 feet of roadway construction on the tapering approaches. Demolition and construction of the bridge will be conducted in two stages, utilizing alternating one-way traffic to maintain flow. Cofferdams and temporary excavation support will be required to construct the new bridge.

3. Subsurface Conditions

3.1 Site Geology

Mapped surficial geology (CTDEEP, 2010) near the bridge site is described as un-differentiated glacial meltwater deposits and post-glacial floodplain alluvium and swamp deposits. The meltwater deposits are prevalent in the valleys and lowlands of Connecticut where sediments were laid down in glacial lakes, streams, and ponds as the ice sheet melted north. Floodplain alluvium and swamp deposits are common in low-lying inland areas and waterways and overlie the glacial meltwater deposits. Bedrock is mapped as part of the Rowe Schist formation (Rodgers, 1985).

3.2 Subsurface Exploration Program

New England Boring Contractors, Inc., under subcontract to GEI, drilled five borings (B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, and B-5) between November 13 and November 19, 2013. Two additional borings (B-1a and B-1b) were offset and drilled after shallow refusals occurred. A GEI representative was on-site full time to observe the drilling procedures and classify the soil samples. Solid stem augers were utilized to collect samples at depths of 10 feet to 15 feet from the ground surface. The borings were further advanced using drive and wash techniques to the top of bedrock at depths ranging from 46.5 feet to 52.0 feet. Rock core samples approximately 10 feet in length were then obtained from each boring. Standard Penetration tests and split-spoon sampling in general accordance with ASTM D1586 were generally taken continuously in the upper 12 feet, then at 5-foot intervals thereafter. The Mobile Drill International B-53 truck-mounted drilling rig used was equipped with a 140-lb safety hammer. Boring logs are presented in Appendix B. Surveyed boring locations and stratifications are summarized in Tables A-1 and A-2, respectively. Standard Penetration Test N-values, corrected (normalized) for overburden pressure and hammer type, are provided in Table A-4 for all SPT samples collected. Boreholes behind the existing abutments were backfilled with drill cuttings and ¾” crushed stone after they were completed. Boring B-3 from the bridge deck was patched with quick-setting concrete. All borings were patched at the surface using cold patch asphalt.

3.3 Laboratory Testing

Laboratory testing was performed on selected samples collected during the exploration program. Testing was performed by TerraSense, LLC of Totowa, New Jersey, under subcontract to GEI. Grain size analyses, atterberg limits tests, and an organic content test were performed to aid in soil classification and estimation of engineering properties.

A summary of laboratory testing performed on samples collected by GEI is presented in Table A-3. Printouts of laboratory test results are presented in Appendix C.

3.4 Subsurface Conditions

Based on our review of the available geotechnical information, the general soil strata are as follows, beginning at the ground surface. A subsurface profile across the bridge is provided on Figure 3 and includes a sketch of the new bridge layout. The subsurface conditions are known only at the exploration locations. Conditions between explorations may differ significantly from those shown in the subsurface profiles and described below.

Asphalt and Concrete - The roadway surface at our boring locations consisted of 6 inches to 9 inches of asphalt overlying concrete. Thickness of the concrete generally varied from 8 inches to 13 inches, with the bridge deck thickness measured as 18 inches. In boring B-2 near the south abutment, approximately 3 feet of concrete was encountered beneath the asphalt overlay. Stratum I - Fill – Fill was encountered in all borings near the abutments to depths ranging from 5 feet to 8 feet. The fill was comprised mostly of fine to medium-grained sand with varying amounts of fine to coarse-grained gravel and silt. Fill was generally brown to black in color and dry to moist. Obstructions and difficult drilling were noted within the fill in the borings on the east side of the road, B-1 and B-4. These conditions started directly beneath the concrete and continued to the bottom of the layer at depths of 6 feet to 8 feet. Refusal to drilling augers occurred at two locations near boring B-1 and high SPT N-values were common. From our observations, this appears to be a layer of cobbles and boulders. On the west side of the roadway, corrected SPT N-values varied from 12 blows per foot (bpf) to 36 bpf, indicating medium dense to dense conditions. Stratum II – Alluvial Sand and Silt – A layer of alluvial sands and silts approximately 3 feet to 5 feet thick was encountered below the fill. Near the south abutment, this material contained seams of brown to dark gray organic silt with fine roots and wood fibers. The samples generally contained more sand on the north side of the river.

CT DOT Bridge No. 00908 Route 202 Over Bantam River Litchfield, Connecticut September 12, 2017

GEI Consultants, Inc. 7

Corrected SPT N-values typically ranged varied from 5 to 19 bpf, indicating loose to medium dense conditions. Stratum III – Sand and Gravel Deposits – Below the alluvial sand and silt stratum, the borings encountered native stratified sand and gravel deposits. These deposits were somewhat looser and were sampled at greater thickness extending back from the north abutment.

Stratum IIIA – South Abutment and Center Pier – The layer was about 10 to 14 feet thick in borings B-1b, B-2, and B-3. Samples were generally comprised of gray to brown, fine to coarse-grained sand and gravel with up to about 20 percent silt. Corrected SPT N-values ranged from 21 to 86 bpf, with an average value of 40 bpf, indicating medium dense to very dense conditions. Stratum IIIB – North Abutment – The sand and gravel layer thickens to about 34 feet extending back from the north abutment. On this side of the bridge, sands were generally fine-grained and a zone of clayey silt was encountered in boring B-4. Corrected SPT N-values were generally in the range of ranged from 5 to 30 bpf, indicating loose to medium dense conditions.

Stratum IV – Glacial Till – Glacial till was encountered in all borings except B-5 beneath the sands and gravels. The glacial till layer thins out from the south to north, with thicknesses ranging from about 25 feet to 2 feet. The glacial till was variable and was typically sampled as gray silt or fine sand with varying proportions fine to medium-sized gravel. Corrected SPT N-values ranged from 14 bpf to in excess of 100 bpf, with an average value of 58 bpf, indicating a medium dense to very dense relative density. Weathered Rock – Weathered rock was encountered in boring B-5 at depths of 45.9 to 50 feet. The recovered sample consisted of gray rock fragments.

Mica Schist Bedrock – Bedrock sampled consisted of mica schist of the Rowe Schist Formation. The depth to bedrock below the ground surface ranged from 44.5 feet to 52.0 feet at the boring locations, as summarized below:

3.5 Groundwater Levels

Water levels were measured in the borings upon their completion. Water levels ranged from 5.8 to 10.5 feet below the ground surface (El. 951.6 to El 947.1) and were slightly higher than the river elevation at the time of our exploration. Groundwater level measurements represent conditions at the times and locations indicated. Significantly different groundwater levels may occur at other times and locations.

3.6 Soil Properties

Recommended soil properties for the site are presented below. We estimated these values based on published correlations to SPT N-values and visual soil descriptions. Minimum, maximum, and average blow count numbers have been corrected for hammer efficiency and depth.

4. Design Recommendations

Recommendations presented herein are referenced to the bridge layout provided by Parsons. The design criteria presented herein should be reviewed by GEI for continued applicability if revisions are made by the design team concerning bridge configuration, design loads, etc.

4.1 Code Reference

Our services were performed in general conformance with the ConnDOT Geotechnical Engineering Manual and our approved scope dated August 13, 2013. Project design parameters and computations generally follow those described in the relevant sections of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (AASHTO 6th Ed., 2012, with interims through 2013), supplemented by the most recent editions of the ConnDOT Bridge Design Manual and Geotechnical Engineering Manual.

4.2 Seismic Design Information

The recommended alternative for this bridge is a full replacement with a new structure. According to ConnDOT’s Bridge Design Manual, “Section 4 Seismic Design and Retrofit”, which supplements the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, new bridges shall be analyzed and designed for seismic forces.

Based on Standard Penetration Test N-values from the borings performed during our work, and in accordance with Article 3.10.3.1 of the AASHTO Bridge Specifications, we recommend that the project be classified as Site Class D. The 2003 ConnDOT Bridge Design Manual recommends the use of a seismic acceleration of 0.16g for design of bridge structures. We understand that the Manual is currently being revised and expect that the revised Manual will reference current AASHTO design requirements. Based on this understanding, we recommend the following seismic design criteria, based on a seven percent probability of exceedance in a 75-year period (approximate return period of 1,000 years) per Section 3 of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (AASHTO 6th Ed., 2012). Mapped Seismic Hazard (Site Class D) Peak Ground Acceleration Coefficient (PGA) = 0.064g Spectral Acceleration Coefficient (period = 0.2 sec) (SS) = 0.136g Spectral Acceleration Coefficient (period = 1.0 sec) (S1) = 0.037g The resulting parameters for calculation of the design response spectrum are:

CT DOT Bridge No. 00908 Route 202 Over Bantam River Litchfield, Connecticut September 12, 2017

GEI Consultants, Inc. 11

Site-corrected Peak Ground Acceleration (AS) = 0.102g Short Period Response Acceleration (SDS) = 0.217 g Long Period Response Acceleration (SD1) = 0.089g Seismic Zone: 1 (per Table 3.10.6.1) As per AASHTO 10.5.4.2, we did not evaluate the potential for liquefaction because the bridge is in Seismic Zone 1.

4.3 Approach Embankments

The replacement scheme shown in the RSR and plans indicates the bridge deck will be widened by 4 feet on each side to comply with current design standards. This will require placement of new fill on the existing embankments for about 60 feet back from each new abutment. Extended U-type wingwalls will contain most of the approach fill. From the available topographic survey (dated December 2008), widening near the abutments will require about 1 foot to 2 feet of fill above present grade. Installation of the abutments and adjacent wingwalls will require about 10 feet of excavation below present grade. New fill will thin out away from the bridge as it meets up with the existing shoulder. Placing up to 2 feet of fill on the existing shoulders and embankment will cause some settlement of the underlying soils. However, we expect these settlements to be relatively minor, on the order of 1 inch or less, and be nearly complete at the end of construction. Preparing the subgrade in accordance with ConnDOT specifications will help to reduce these settlements. Excavation of existing embankment soils and replacement with new fill behind the abutments may also cause slight settlements as the foundation soils are unloaded then rebound to the present stress level. 4.4 Foundation Recommendations

Steel H-piles driven to bedrock are recommended for support of the planned abutments and center pier.

4.4.1 Pile Length

The depth to bedrock, as measured by the borings, varied by up to 2 feet transversely across each proposed structure, and up to 7 feet along the full length of the bridge. One foot of embedment into the structure and one foot into the bedrock was assumed for length estimates. Based on the results of our investigation, order lengths may be presented as follows:

Plumb 45 50 1H:3V 45 50 1H:6V 45 50

4.4.2 Axial Capacity

Piles bearing on hard rock at practical refusal were evaluated as described in Section 10.7.3.2.3 of the AASHTO specifications. Piles should be fitted with driving pile points to protect the tips and improve penetration.

Steel HP 14x73 piles will be used to support the new structures. All piles shall be grade A709 steel with yield strength of 50 ksi. Section 6.2.2 of the ConnDOT Geotechnical Engineering Manual states that most load tests conducted in the state for steel piles driven to rock have indicated a unit toe resistance not exceeding 24 ksi, where the geotechnical resistance limit was often reached. The nominal geotechnical resistance was determined by assuming a limiting toe resistance of 20 ksi for end-bearing piles on bedrock. This resistance should be verified with PDA testing, as described in Section 4.4.3. The resistance factor for end-bearing piles on rock at the strength limit state is 0.65 when the pile resistance is verified by PDA and CAPWAP at a minimum of one pile per substructure, per Section 6.2.2 of the ConnDOT Geotechnical Manual. The resistance factor for the service limit state shall be taken as 1.0. The end-bearing piles will not count on support of axial loads from material within the potential scour zone. However, the scour load must be considered when determining the Ultimate Pile Capacity. The scour load was calculated using a scour elevation of 930 feet for the 500-year check flood.

The Ultimate Pile Capacity should not exceed the factored pile resistance shown above. The capacity of the piles as structural members should also be checked per the requirements of AASHTO Sections 6.15, including in the un-supported (scoured) condition. A resistance factor of 0.50, for hard-driving conditions, should be used in these calculations. Piles penetrating embankment fills must typically address downdrag or negative skin friction effects. However, the added load and resulting settlements from re-grading and fill placement will be relatively minor on this project. We do not expect downdrag to have an appreciable effect on pile capacity. Driven steel H-piles designed as end-bearing piles on rock are not anticipated to exceed the elastic compression of any single pile in the group. Pile settlements will be essentially that given by the elastic compression of the pile material under the working stresses, or approximately ½-inch or less. Spacing should be adequate to limit surface heave and reduce the possibility of damaging previously installed piles. A spacing of 3 diameters is typically sufficient. Since piles will bear in relatively incompressible strata, group settlements may be ignored for practical analysis. 4.4.3 Pile Installation

Prior to driving, a wave equation (WEAP) analysis of the proposed pile-hammer system should be performed to check that the necessary capacity can be achieved without overstressing the piles, and to establish preliminary driving criteria. This analysis can be performed by GEI or by the Contractor’s engineer and submitted for review. The maximum allowable driving stress should be held to 90 percent of the yield strength of the pile, or 45 ksi for a 50 ksi pile. The WEAP analysis should be performed by the Contractor in accordance with ConnDOT specifications. The pile resistance used in design may need to be reduced for driveability concerns.

Contract documents should also require that the first pile driven at each abutment be dynamically tested with a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and signal matching analysis with the Case Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP) to confirm that the pile driving system has

CT DOT Bridge No. 00908 Route 202 Over Bantam River Litchfield, Connecticut September 12, 2017

GEI Consultants, Inc. 14

adequately driven the pile to the required capacity. The primary purpose of the testing is to assess pile stresses and the ability of the piles to penetrate the bedrock surface. Piles should be driven to the ultimate capacity shown on the plans. Final acceptance of the proposed pile hammer and derivation of driving criteria should be based upon the field performance and results of the dynamic pile testing. Once a pile driving system is shown to be acceptable based on the field performance and the results of the dynamic pile testing, the same driving system should be used for the duration of production pile installation. If the Contractor elects to use a different hammer or makes any other changes to the pile driving system, the Contractor should be responsible for providing additional dynamic pile testing for the new pile driving system. 4.4.4 Lateral Response

We performed a lateral pile resistance analysis using the GROUP software package (Ensoft, Inc., 2014). The center pier (Pier 1) and one abutment (Abutment 2) were analyzed under various load combinations, which are summarized in Appendix D.

Soil property inputs were assumed based on boring data at the site and our experience with similar soils, and are summarized below. Soils embedded above the pile cap elevation are assumed to provide no added resistance, and were not included in the model.

The results of the GROUP analyses are included in Appendix D. Pile deflection outputs are included for those piles within the group exhibiting the highest moments, and for other selected piles under the same load condition. Pile layouts (location, orientation, and batter) were taken from the Semi-final design package. The analyses assumed fixed head conditions under various loading cases, including under the scoured condition where the upper portion of the pile is left un-supported. Unfactored loads were provided by Parsons and are included in Appendix D. Loads were input at the bottom of pile cap elevation.

CT DOT Bridge No. 00908 Route 202 Over Bantam River Litchfield, Connecticut September 12, 2017

GEI Consultants, Inc. 15

The maximum deflection estimate is less than ¼-inch for all cases analyzed, well within acceptable tolerance. The maximum moments within the piles shown in Table D3 also appear to be within acceptable limits; however, this should be verified as part of the pile structural capacity check.

4.5 Lateral Earth Pressures

The active earth pressure coefficient (KA) should be used to calculate the earth pressure on abutments and wingwalls for this project. Per the ConnDOT Bridge Design Manual, new abutments and wingwalls shall also be designed for seismic forces, including those transmitted from the superstructure.

Assuming the abutments and wingwalls will be backfilled per Section 5.6 of the ConnDOT Bridge Design Manual, a unit weight of 125 pcf and an internal friction angle (ϕ) of 35 degrees may be assumed.

Lateral Earth Pressure Coefficients

Support Condition Static

Coefficient Pseudo-static

(w-dynamic thrust)

Active Condition (KA or KAE) 0.27 0.275

Passive Condition (KP or KPE) 3.69 6.70

Earth pressures should be applied as shown on Fig. 3.11.5.3-1 of the AASHTO LRFD manual. Design of abutments and walls should also include a live load surcharge, in accordance with AASHTO 3.11.6.4. Design of the pile-supported abutments and wingwalls should not include contributions from passive resistance in front of the wall or frictional resistance from the underside of the pile caps. 4.6 Permanent Embankment Slopes

Slopes adjacent to the river channel and extending up the wingwalls should be constructed at no steeper than a 2H:1V grade and covered with suitable riprap for scour protection.

5. Construction Recommendations

5.1 Excavation and Dewatering

At a minimum, all excavations should be made in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

Excavations for new construction will require temporary excavation support, in order to maintain one-way traffic during staged operations, and are expected to occur below the groundwater table (abutments) and stream level (center pier). All excavations should be conducted in the dry. We recommend that cofferdams be specified at each abutment and for the center pier. The Structure Excavation-Earth (Excluding Cofferdam and Dewatering) and Cofferdam and Dewatering Items should be incorporated into the bidding documents.

Any necessary excavation support systems/cofferdams should be designed by a Connecticut-registered professional engineer experienced in design of such elements. The engineer should be engaged by the contractor and submit the designs for review before installation. We caution that sheet piles near the abutments will require special shoes and/or pre-drilling to penetrate significant cobbles or boulders encountered below the roadway surface in several of our borings.

5.2 Protection of Existing Structures

There is a business (AmeriGas) approximately 150 feet north of the bridge that maintains large compressed gas tanks set on elevated concrete piers. Given the sensitive nature of the material and the vessels it is stored in, we recommend conducting vibration monitoring during pile installation near the north abutment. The business owner, and likely the vessel manufacturer as well, should be consulted regarding particulars of the vibration monitoring, principally the maximum allowable vibration. The independent monitoring consultant, to be hired by the contractor, shall determine the maximum allowable permissible vibrations. 5.3 Subgrade Preparation

Plans at this time show all substructure elements will be founded on piles. On subgrades where new fill will be placed, loose or disturbed soil should be removed and the subgrade should be prepared in accordance with ConnDOT specifications. If loose or organic-laden alluvial soils similar to those encountered in some of our borings are left in place, some settlement of the approach slabs and downdrag loading of the piles may occur. All subgrades should also be free of frost.

Pervious Structure Backfill should be placed behind abutments and wingwalls to the limits described in Section 5.6 of the ConnDOT Bridge Design Manual and compacted in accordance with the Standard Specifications.

6. Limitations

Our recommendations are based on the project information provided to us at the time of this report and may require modification if there are any changes in the nature, design, or location of the proposed construction. We recommend that GEI be engaged to review the final plans and specifications to judge whether changes in the project affect the validity of our recommendations and whether our recommendations have been properly implemented in the design.

The recommendations in this report are based in part on the data obtained from the borings. The nature and extent of variations between borings may not become evident until construction. If variations from the anticipated conditions are encountered, it may be necessary to revise the recommendations in this report. Therefore, we recommend that GEI be engaged to make site visits during construction to: a) check that the subsurface conditions exposed during construction are in general conformance with our design assumptions and b) ascertain that, in general, the geotechnical aspects of the work are being performed in compliance with the contract documents.

Our professional services for this project have been performed in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices; no warranty, express or implied, is made.

The authority having jurisdiction (not the USGS), site-specific geotechnical data, and/or the default has classified the site as Site Class D, based on the site soil properties in accordance with Article 3.4.2.

Table 3.4.2.1–1 Site Class Definitions

SITE CLASS

SOIL PROFILE NAME

Soil shear wave velocity, vS, (ft/s)

Standard penetration resistance, N

Soil undrained shear strength, su, (psf)

A Hard rock vS > 5,000 N/A N/A

B Rock 2,500 < vS ≤ 5,000 N/A N/A

C Very dense soil and soft rock

1,200 < vS ≤ 2,500 N > 50 >2,000 psf

D Stiff soil profile 600 ≤ vS < 1,200 15 ≤ N ≤ 50 1,000 to 2,000 psf

E Stiff soil profile vS < 600 N < 15 <1,000 psf

E — Any profile with more than 10 ft of soil having the characteristics:

1. Plasticity index PI > 20,2. Moisture content w ≥ 40%, and3. Undrained shear strength su < 500 psf

F — Any profile containing soils having one or more of the followingcharacteristics:

1. Soils vulnerable to potential failure or collapse under seismic loading such as liquefiable soils, quick and highly sensitive clays, collapsible weakly cemented soils.

2. Peats and/or highly organic clays (H > 10 feet of peat and/or highly organic clay where H = thickness of soil)

3. Very high plasticity clays (H > 25 feet with plasticity index PI > 75)4. Very thick soft/medium stiff clays (H > 120 feet)

For SI: 1ft/s = 0.3048 m/s 1lb/ft² = 0.0479 kN/m²
