About this file

This document is a geotechnical report containing nine boring logs and laboratory test results for the VISN Warehouse project in Butler, Pennsylvania. The boring logs document subsurface soil conditions at the construction site, revealing consistent soil layers across different sampling locations. Typical soil strata include topsoil (4-6 inches), lean clay (brown and gray, medium stiff to very stiff), and highly weathered shale, with most borings terminated between 6-10 feet depth.

Laboratory analysis shows the soil samples are predominantly classified as lean clay (CL) with varying percentages of sand and gravel. Atterberg limit tests indicate liquid limits ranging from 33-41, plastic limits from 23-24, and plasticity indices from 10-17. Grain size distribution tests reveal the soil compositions include approximately 0-0.2% cobbles, 0-24.1% gravel, 12.4-28.8% sand, and 32.6-54.9% fines (silt and clay). No groundwater was encountered during the boring investigations, and all borings were backfilled with auger cuttings upon completion.
