B.1 INTRODUCTION
This appendix presents descriptions of the geotechnical laboratory testing procedures and provides the results. Selected samples recovered from the test pits and borings were tested to evaluate the index and engineering properties of soils and rocks, and to provide data that can be used for design of the project. Geotechnical laboratory testing included water content determination, grain size analysis, Atterberg limits determinations, corrosion potential, compaction characteristics, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value.
The tests were completed in general accordance with American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO, 2015) and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) testing methods. The geotechnical laboratory testing was performed at our laboratory in Glendale, California, and by AP Engineering and Testing, Inc. of Pomona, California. A summary of the laboratory test results is presented in Table B-
1. The following sections describe the laboratory testing procedures.
B.2 GEOTECHNICAL INDEX TESTS
B.2.1 Water Content
The natural water content of selected soil samples was determined in general accordance with AASHTO T265, Laboratory Determination of Moisture Content of Soils. Comparison of natural water content of a soil with its index properties can be useful in characterizing soil unit weight, consistency, compressibility, and strength. Water contents are listed in Figure B-6, shown graphically on the boring logs presented in Appendix A, and summarized in Table B-1.
B.2.2 Grain Size Analysis
The grain size distribution of selected samples was determined in general accordance with AASHTO T27, Standard Method of Test for Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates.
This test is useful for classifying soils and for providing correlation with soil properties.
Results of these analyses are presented as grain size distribution curves on Figure B-1 and are summarized in Table B-1.
Grain size distribution results could potentially be affected by sample type and drilling method. The sample type, or more specifically the inside diameter of the sampler, directly impacts the maximum particle size that can be sampled. For example, the largest diameter particle that can be sampled by a 2-inch SPT sampler (1.375-inch inside diameter) is

approximately 1.3 inches, regardless of the maximum particle size of the soil unit being sampled.
Grain size analysis also included performing fines content of selected samples. Fines content determination was completed in general accordance with AASHTO T11, Standard Method of Test for Material Finer than 75-μm (No. 200) Sieve in Mineral Aggregates by Washing. Determination of the fines content consists of determining the percentage of material passing the No. 200 sieve (i.e. silt- and clay-sized particles). This test is useful for classifying soils and for providing correlation with soil properties. Results of the percent fines analyses are listed in Figure B-2, shown graphically in the boring logs in Appendix A, and summarized in Table B-1.
B.2.3 Atterberg Limits
Soil plasticity was determined by performing Atterberg limits tests on selected fine-grained samples. The tests were completed in general accordance with AASHTO T89, Standard Method of Test for Determining the Liquid Limit of Soils, and AASHTO T90, Standard Method of Test for Determining the Plastic Limit and Plasticity Index of Soils. The Atterberg limits include liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and plasticity index (PI; PI=LL- PL). These limits are generally used to assist in classification of soils, to indicate soil consistency (when compared to natural water content), and to provide correlation to soil properties. The results of the Atterberg limits tests are plotted on plasticity charts on Figure B-3, shown graphically in the boring logs in Appendix A, and summarized in Table B-1.
B.3 GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING PROPERTY TESTS
B.3.1 Corrosion
Corrosion testing of select samples was performed for sulfate and chloride concentrations, resistivity, and pH. Testing for resistivity and pH were completed in general accordance with California Department of Transportation Test 643 Part 1, Method of Field Resistivity Survey and Sampling for Laboratory Tests, and Test 643 Part 3, Method for Determining pH of Soil, respectively (California Test Method [CTM], 2007). Sulfate content testing was performed in accordance with the California Department of Transportation Test 417, Method of Testing Soils and Waters for Sulfate Content (CTM, 2006a). Chloride content was done in accordance with California Department of Transportation Test 422, Method of Testing Soils and Waters for Chloride Content (CTM, 2006b). The tested parameters are described below:
Sulfate and Chloride Concentration: Sulfate is an ion that can lead to damage of metallic and concrete structures. Chloride is an ion that converts to hydrochloric acid, 100062-003 January 22, 2021 B-3

which can cause corrosion of metals. Also, its presence tends to decrease the soil resistivity. Chlorides may be found naturally in soils deposited as a result of brackish groundwater and historical geologic sea beds, from high organic content, or from the presence of pollutants.
Sulfate classification, as defined by ACI-318-14 (ACI, 2014) is presented within the table below:
Exhibit B-1: Sulfate Exposures (ACI, 2014)
Dissolved Sulfate
(SO4)
ppm
Sulfate Exposure
< 150 Negligible (S0)
150 - < 1,500 Moderate (S1)
1,500 – 10,000 Severe (S2)
> 10,000 Very Severe (S3)
Chloride concentrations 500 ppm are corrosive to ferrous materials (County of Los Angeles, 2013).
Resistivity: Soil resistivity is a measure of the tendency for electrical currents produced during the corrosion process to flow freely through the electrolyte. A decrease in the resistivity relates to an increase in potential corrosion activity. Roberge (2012) provides corrosivity ratings based on soil resistivity, and is presented in the table below:
Exhibit B-2: Corrosivity Ratings based on Soil Resistivity (Roberge, 2012)
Soil Resistivity (ohm-cm) Corrosivity Rating > 20,000 Essentially non-corrosive
10,000 – 20,000 Mildly corrosive
5,000 – 10,000 Moderately corrosive
3,000 – 5,000 Corrosive
1,000 – 3,000 Highly Corrosive
< 1,000 Extremely Corrosive
NOTES:
ohm-cm = ohm centimeter pH: Soil pH is an indication of the acidity or alkalinity of soil and is measured in pH units. Soil pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 with a pH of 7 as the neutral point. As the amount of hydrogen ions in the soil increases, the soil pH decreases, thus becoming more acidic.

Soil with a pH of 5.5 or less are considered damaging to concrete foundations (County of Los Angeles, 2013). Typical soil pH levels range between 5.0 and 8.0 (Roberge, 2012).
The test results are presented in Table B-1. The concentration of dissolved sulfates measured were 58 ppm or less, which indicates that the onsite soils pose a negligible exposure of sulfate attack on concrete (exposure class S0). The concentration of chloride measured were 34 ppm or less, which is considered negligible. The pH test results ranged from 6.6 to 7.2, which suggest a normal range for soils in terms of corrosion potential.
The minimum resistivity test results ranged from 4,988 ohm-cm to 46,995 ohm-cm, with relatively finer-grained soils having lower results and the relatively granular soils having the relatively higher results. The table below summarizes the resistivity results:

NOTES:
1 Combined samples 2 We collected the sample from the shoulder of the roadway
The minimum resistivity values measured in the samples indicate soils within the upper 0.5 miles of the roadway have moderately corrosive to corrosive potential, while the remaining soils are mildly to moderately corrosive to underground metallic structures.
A specialist in corrosion-resistance design should review the results for any additional corrosion hazard mitigation actions.
B.3.2 Modified Proctor
Modified Proctor tests were completed on select samples by AP Engineering and Testing, Inc., to determine compaction characteristics of the subgrade soil. The tests were completed in general accordance with AASHTO T180, Standard Method of Test for Moisture-Density Relations of Soils Using a 4.54-kg (10-lb) Rammer and a 457-mm (18-in.) Drop. The compaction test is used to estimate the maximum dry density and optimum moisture

content of the tested soil. Compaction test results are summarized in Table B-1 and presented in Figure B-4.
B.3.3 California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were completed on select samples by AP Engineering and Testing, Inc. The tests were completed in general accordance with AASHTO T193, Standard Method of Test for The California Bearing Ratio. The CBR test is used to evaluate the mechanical strength of subgrade soils underlying the existing roadway. CBR test results are summarized in Table B-1 and presented in Figure B-5.
