Re: L-88,398 Proposed Site Improvements Pullman National Monument 11001 S. Cottage Grove Avenue Chicago, Illinois
Dear Ms. Terry:
This report presents results of a soils exploration performed in connection with proposed site improvements for the Pullman National Monument in Chicago, Illinois. These geotechnical engineering services are being provided in accordance with TSC Proposal No. 60,623 and AIA Agreement for Special Services dated May 21, 2018. Our work was coordinated through Mr. Michael Mondus of SPACECO, Inc.
The project site is located at 11001 S. Cottage Grove Avenue, lying on the northeast corner of its intersection with 111th Street. The former Pullman Factory Administration Building is present on it and remains fairly intact, a second building which is still standing having been heavily damaged by fire. The remnants of additional buildings as well as previous pavements are also present at the surface, other portions being grass and/or weed-covered as well as containing scrub brush and scattered trees. The site is otherwise flat with ground surface elevations being on the order of +12.5 CCD (City of Chicago Datum).
No specific plans are available in connection with proposed site improvements. However, parking lots and pedestrian walkways are to presumably be added at some point. It is anticipated that mass-grading for them will involve only minor cuts and fills.
Field Investigation and Laboratory Testing
Twenty-two (22) soil borings were performed as part as our subsurface exploration. They were staked by TSC at those genral locations selected by SPACECO, as indicated on the Boring Location Plan which is attached. Ground surface elevations at the boring locations were acquired using a Trimble R8S GNSS receiver, being converted to CCD and rounded to the nearest 0.5 foot.
Borings 1 - 7 and 11 - 22 were extended to 10 and 5 feet below existing grade, respectively, with Borings 8 - 10 inside the Administration Building (under the clock tower) hand-augered to variable depths. They were drilled and samples tested in accordance with currently recommended American Society for Testing and Materials specifications. Approximately half were performed using a conventional rig, with which soil sampling was performed at 2½-foot intervals in conjunction with the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). A GeoProbe rig was used to drill the other half (except for the hand-auger borings), with which continuous macro-core push samples (1.5 inch diameter) were taken from which representative test specimens were obtained at approximate 2-foot intervals. Water level readings were taken during and following completion of drilling operations.

Soil samples were examined in the laboratory to verify field descriptions and to classify them in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. Laboratory testing included moisture content determinations for all cohesive and intermediate (silt or loamy) soil types. An estimate of unconfined compressive strength was obtained for all cohesive soils using a calibrated pocket penetrometer (Qp) samples of native clay soils. Dry unit weight test were also run on specimens of clay fill.
Reference is made to the attached boring logs indicating subsurface stratigraphy and soil descriptions, results of field and laboratory tests, as well as water level observations. Definitions of descriptive terminology are also included. While strata changes are shown as a definite line on the boring logs, the actual transition between soil layers is likely to be more gradual. Fluctuations in the groundwater table may also occur due to variations in precipitation (short-term and seasonal) as well as rises or drops in pond, creek or other nearby surface water features, i.e. water levels at a future date may be higher or lower than those recorded at the time of drilling.
Discussion of Test Data
P.C. concrete slabs were present at or right below the surface of Borings 3, 6, 7, 13 - 16 and 19 (8 total), concentrated around the existing buildings present on the site. The concrete slabs were approximately 4 to 6 inches thick in most cases, up to 10 inches thick at B-14. They were overlain by a couple inches of sand and gravel at B-16 and 6 inches of bituminous concrete at B-19.
Approximately 6 to 8 inches of sand and gravel (as well as occasional crushed stone) was present at the surface of Borings 1, 5, 12, 18 and 20 (5 total). Surficial topsoil and/or root zone materials (possible respread) were 4 to 6 inches thick at Borings 17, 21 and 22. Clayey topsoil fill (with roots) was up to 20 inches deep at B-11.
Variable fill otherwise extended 2 to 3 feet below existing grade at the majority of the boring locations.
It primarily consisted of silty sand and gravel containing cinders, slag and brick pieces, commonly referred to as urban fill in this area. Silty/sandy clay fill materials were also present in over one-third of the borings, extending to the bottom of Borings 11 and 18 at 5 feet in depth. Samples of the cohesive fill had variable moisture contents and dry unit weights ranging from 17 to 29 percent and 95 to 115 pounds per cubic foot (pcf), respectively.
Borings 8 - 10 hand-augered inside the Administration Building (under bell tower) revealed atypical fill conditions. In this regard, miscellaneous urban fill was only about 14 inches thick at B-8, with B-10 only able to penetrate about 10 inches into larger brick and concrete pieces. Crushed stone fill extended about 4.5 feet in depth at B-9, comprised of small gravel of apparent IDOT CA-7 gradation (possible trench backfill).
Stiff to very tough native silty clay soils of medium to high plasticity were found underlying the fill materials, extending to the bottom of those borings where encountered (i.e. at the majority of them).
These cohesive materials had unconfined compressive strengths ranging from 1.0 to 3.0 tons per square foot (tsf), occasionally being higher. Moisture contents normally varied from 20 to 28 percent, occasionally being both higher and lower.
Almost all of the borings were “dry” both during and upon completion of drilling operations. The only exception was B-9 hand-augered inside the Administration Building, where free water was encountered at 4 feet below existing grade (apparently trapped within the CA-7 fill materials present there).

Analysis and Recommendations
No specific plans are available in connection with proposed site improvements for the Pullman National Monument. However, parking lots and pedestrian walkways are to presumably be added at some point. It is anticipated that mass-grading for them will involve only minor cuts and fills.
It is recommended that future pavement and pedestrian walkway areas be cleared of vegetation as part of subgrade preparation. Stripping up operations should also include the removal of all surficial topsoil and root zone, with these materials being relatively thin where present. Existing asphalt and P.C.
concrete should be removed if located within 6 inches of the proposed subgrade elevation, to be broken into pieces not exceeding 3 square feet (sf) in surface area if left in-place below that level. Any concrete foundations or other buried structures should be cut-off at least 1.5 feet below the final subgrade.
Exposed subgrade soils should otherwise be proof-rolled using a loaded dump truck or other approved piece of heavy rubber-tired construction equipment. All soft and unstable materials determined by proof-rolling should be reworked and recompacted or, if that does not improve subgrade stability, removed and replaced. It is anticipated that cohesive soil types where exposed will likely be reduced in moisture content prior to recompaction. While the silty sand and cinder fill is expected to provide a relatively stable subgrade for fill placement and compaction or paving, at least localized soft spots should be anticipated.
New fill should consist of approved granular materials (including silty sand and cinder fill) or inorganic silty/sandy clays of low to medium plasticity. It is recommended that compaction be to a minimum of 95 percent of maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor test (ASTM D1557). The fill should be placed in approximate 10 inch lifts loose measure, each lift to be compacted to the specified density prior to the placement of additional fill. The use of woven stabilization fabric equal to Mirafi 500X/600X or geogrid equal to Tensar TX140/TX160 has not been included in design recommendations, although they can still be employed on a localized basis as dictated by conditions in the field.
The use of lime modification may also be considered if exposed subgrade soils or fill materials are above optimum moisture content such that 95 percent compaction cannot be achieved. The lime soil modifier should be IDOT approved. It should be added to the treated soil at a minimum rate of 5 percent by dry weight. The soil and lime modifier should be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, with additional water added as needed. A maximum lift thickness of 16 inches loose measure is recommended for the lime modified soil, to also not exceed the penetration depth of the rotary mixer being used.
Given the variability of the fill at the site, the suitability of lime modified soil may be verified by use of the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP). An equivalent IBV of 8 is suggested, for which IDOT guidelines indicate that remedial procedures are not needed. A DCP rate of 0.9 in/blow may be taken as equivalent to an IBV of 8.
It is recommended that a nominal Illinois Bearing Ratio (IBR) value of 3.0 be used in the design of asphalt pavements. A subgrade modulus of 150 pci is recommended for concrete (rigid) pavement design. Use of these values assumes that any soft or unstable areas will be remediated, i.e. subgrades stabilized until passing a proof-roll.
