Re: NASA Glenn Research Center:
Proposed Research Support Building Cleveland, Ohio DVL Project No. C.7287
Dear Mr. Carse:
At your request we have undertaken an investigation to determine the subsurface conditions on the subject site. The data developed was used to establish soil related engineering criteria for the design of foundations, substructures, slabs on grade, re-taining structures, and earthwork.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is planned to consist of two three-story structures with a large roof cano-py connecting the two. The structures are planned to be constructed on the site presently occupied by NASA Glenn Research Center Building No. 21, with the cano-py extending over a portion of Taylor Road toward Building No. 15. Maximum col-umn loads as estimated by the project structural engineer, Mr. Mark Paskus, PE of
Buro Happold Engineering will be in the order of 900,000 pounds. The first floor slab on grade elevation is assumed to match that of the existing structure.
SITE LOCATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
The site is located in Cleveland, Ohio bounded by Taylor Road to the northwest, and
W. Hanger Road to the southeast. Plate I, which was developed from the Lakewood quadrangle of the U.S. Geological Survey Topographical Map, shows the location of the site in relation to its surroundings. The site is relatively flat except for the grassed area in front of the existing building which drops down approximately 3 feet to Taylor Road. The site is also grassed in southwest side of the building; is asphalt
TEN Arquitectos - 2 - October 22, 2015 paved in the rear and northeast sides; and has a band of gravel between the rear of the building and the asphalt parking. The pavement was observed to be in good condition.
GEOLOGY
The site is located over glacial till deposits placed during the post Wisconsin Glacial
Era. See the surficial geology on Plate II. The bedrock contours on Plate III were developed in 1996 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Geolog-ical Survey and indicate that the site is located over the east slope of a pre-glacial valley that was cut into the bedrock. The contours indicate that bedrock may be ex-pected to underlay the site approximately midway between elevations 700 and 750, or approximately 35 feet below grade. The bedrock is part of the Berea Sandstone and Bedford Shale Formation. Due to the presence of preglacial valleys and differ-ential weathering, bedrock elevations may be more irregular than might be inferred by straight line interpolation between the borings.
FIELD EXPLORATION
We reviewed information in our files from previous investigations near the site. You provided locations for nine borings, B-1 through B-9, with input from Mr. Matthew
Herman of Buro Happold Engineering. The boring locations were selected near the corners of the proposed structures and outside the perimeter of the existing building.
Boring locations were approved, cleared, and marked by NASA Glenn personnel.
The borings were drilled at the proposed locations by Ridgeway Drilling, Inc. on Sep-tember 21 and 22, 2015 under our general direction and in general accord with their
Site Specific Health and Safety Plan approved by NASA Glenn and also in accord with our Specifications For Subsurface Exploratory Work which are included in Ap-pendices A and B of this report. Locations of the borings were superimposed by your office on the NASA Glenn plan included on page 8, titled RSB-Geotechnical
Bore Locations (8-31-15). Samples obtained in the borings were brought to our la-boratory for testing and evaluation.
TEN Arquitectos - 3 - October 22, 2015
LABORATORY TESTING
Pages 9 through 17, entitled "Laboratory Log of Boring", graphically show the strata encountered as well as the results of some tests performed. The column entitled
"Blows on spoon for 12 inches (N)" refers to the standard penetration test and indi-cates the number of blows of a 140 lb. hammer dropped from a height of 30 inches required to drive a 2 inch O.D. sampling spoon 12 inches into a stratum. Where a figure such as 50/.5 appears in the same column it means that 50 blows of the hammer resulted in a penetration of five-tenths of a foot. The column entitled “Un-confined Shear Stress (psf)” refers to one-half of the compressive stress at failure in the unconfined state. An asterisk indicates that a pocket penetrometer was used to determine the shear strength. Because of disturbance during sampling and the presence of silt or sand seams in some of the samples, the strength of the material in place in the field may differ somewhat from the strength indicated by the laborato-ry tests. Allowance was made for this in interpreting the strength test data. The col-umn entitled “Loss on Ignition @ 600°C (%)” refers to the percent loss in weight of a dried sample of soil when fired in an oven at 600°C. The loss on ignition is indicative of the organic content of the sample. Material exhibiting a loss on ignition of 3 per-cent or less can generally be considered free of significant concentrations of organic matter. Elevations noted on the logs of borings were estimated to the nearest foot from the elevations of nearby manholes provided on the electronic drawings by Mr.
Tim Wardlow, Senior Project Manager, FDP/Project Management Branch, NASA
Glenn Research Center.
STRATIFICATION
The subsurface profile in descending order is generally seen as topsoil or pavement, followed by man deposited fill underlain by very stiff to hard glacial till over shale bedrock. Where encountered, man-deposited fill generally does not extend more than 5 feet below grade except for borings B-7 and B-8 where the fill extends to depths of 17 and 13 feet respectively, or down to elevations 743 and 747. The top of shale varied from approximate elevation 724 to 715, or between 36 and 43 feet be-low existing grade.
TEN Arquitectos - 4 - October 22, 2015
GROUNDWATER
Free water was reported in the boreholes at various levels as noted on the logs. The observed water levels are an indication of conditions existing at the points and times of observation only. Actual groundwater levels are subject to fluctuation with the seasons and the amount and rate of precipitation.
Note that some interlaying of soil with varying permeabilities was encountered in some of the borings. Trapped or perched water may be encountered above the ac-tual groundwater table. If such water is encountered it should be drained ahead of the excavation. Seepage can be expected at the clay/shale interface.
EARTHWORK
Some regrading of the site is anticipated. The construction area should be stripped of topsoil and vegetation, pavements, concrete, foundations, underground utilities to be abandoned, any existing man-deposited fill, debris, rubble, or other deleterious material. Note that abrupt changes in existing fill depths can be expected. Aban-doned utilities within the perimeter of the building should be removed or otherwise neutralized from acting as conduits for groundwater.
Prior to placing fill, the exposed subgrade should be proofrolled with a heavy-duty vibratory roller, minimum 15 tons static weight or equivalent. The purpose of the proofroll is to locate soft or yielding material. The roller should make at least four overlapping passes, two in each of two mutually perpendicular directions. Any soft or yielding areas revealed by the proofroll should be stabilized. Stabilization could include removal of the yielding material and replacing it with controlled compacted engineered fill or other methods suggested by the geotechnical engineer.
Fill should be placed in loose horizontal layers not exceeding 8 inches in height. Al-ternating layers of granular and cohesive material should not be permitted. Each layer should be compacted until its dry density is equal to at least 98 percent of the maximum laboratory dry density as determined by the Standard Moisture-Density
TEN Arquitectos - 5 - October 22, 2015
Relationship Test, ASTM D698. Our personnel should monitor all earthwork opera-tions.
FOUNDATIONS
Footings placed on the undisturbed naturally deposited silty clay below the level of the existing man-deposited fill and at least 3.5 feet below final grade may be propor-tioned for bearing pressures of up to 4500 pounds per square foot. Note that local soft zones may be present at proposed bearing elevation. See borings B-7 and B-8.
Where bottoms of footings are lowered due to the presence of man-deposited fill, organic material, or natural soft zones, lean concrete may be placed to bring the ex-cavation up to design bearing level. Higher pressures, on the order of 8,000 pounds per square foot may be obtained for footings placed on the naturally deposited stiff clay but would require deep excavations.
Caissons supported at a depth of 20 feet below existing grade, on the hard till, may be proportioned for bearing pressures of up to 18,000 pounds per square foot under all loads. Caissons supported on the medium hard shale may be proportioned for bearing pressures of up to 40,000 pounds per square foot under all loads. Caisson bottoms should be at least 3 caisson diameters below finished grade. An allowable cohesion of 500 pounds per square foot in the fill and 1000 pounds per square foot in the natural material could be considered at the caisson perimeter to determine up-lift capacity. We can discuss this further once the foundation system is selected.
The structure can be supported by a combination of spread footings and caissons, each founded in the clay. Like portions of the building should be supported on like material.
Caissons should be a minimum of 30 inches in diameter. Bells of caissons should be formed within the clay. Temporary casing will be required in order to maintain an open excavation and to control groundwater. Relatively fluid concrete mix with a slump in the order of 5 inches should be used. The casing may be withdrawn pro-vided a sufficient head of concrete is maintained. The sequence and method of caisson construction should be reviewed to determine if the integrity of existing structures might be compromised.
TEN Arquitectos - 6 - October 22, 2015
Foundation bearing surfaces should be cleaned of all loose, disturbed, or water sof-tened material prior to placing concrete. Our personnel should observe the suitabil-ity of the bearing surface just prior to placing concrete.
Where foundation elevations vary due to soil or architectural considerations, a pro-jected slope no steeper than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical should be maintained between the bottoms of adjacent footing excavations or between footings and adjacent sewer and utility trenches, proposed or existing. Wall or continuous footings should be stepped using a similar projected slope with vertical steps not exceeding 24 inches in height.
A seismic site classification of E should be considered.
SLABS ON GRADE
The existing pavement and interior floor slabs were observed to be in good condi-tion. The existing fill has been in place for more than 50 years and therefore may be left in place for the support of slabs on grade. Slabs on grade may be supported on the naturally-deposited soil free of organic contamination, on controlled compacted engineered fill, or on existing fill provided the site is prepared as discussed above. A modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pounds per square inch per inch may be used for slabs placed on the undisturbed naturally-deposited soil or controlled compacted engineered fill.
RETAINING STRUCTURES
For retaining structures whose tops are not free to deflect, such as basement walls, an at-rest earth pressure coefficient of Ko = 0.5 may be used. For the design of re-taining structures whose tops are free to deflect, an active earth pressure coefficient of ka = 0.33 together with a unit weight of retained soil of 135 pounds per cubic foot may be used. The effects of surcharge loads and sloping backfill, if any, are not ad-dressed in this report and should be considered where applicable. Porous, freely
TEN Arquitectos - 7 - October 22, 2015 draining, drained backfill should be placed immediately next to the wall to prevent the build up of hydrostatic pressures.
LIMITATIONS
The above considerations are based on the soil information developed and re-viewed, and the building information as described above. The number of borings is necessarily limited. The assumption was made that the materials encountered in the borings are representative of that found on the entire site and do not vary significant-ly between points explored. Any subsurface conditions encountered, which are dif-ferent from those shown or described above, should be brought to our attention so that we can determine if changes in our recommendations are required. The project is in the preliminary planning stage. We would like to review the grading and foun-dation plans as soon as they are developed.

Re: Building 21 Site

DVL Job No. C.7287A
Gentlemen:
Please refer to our October 22, 2015 Report on Soil Conditions for the subject site.
Since that time the previously existing Building 21 has been demolished and the proposed RSB, Building 164, has been reconfigured. The proposed building is situated over the eastern end, or former Annex of Building 21. With the former building and floor slab removed, this has allowed for additional subsurface data to be obtained both within and beyond the perimeter of the previously existing building. The data from the new borings will be used to supplement the previously obtained data and help to determine if changes in our recommendations are necessary.
Four additional borings, our B-10 through B-13 were drilled by Ridgeway Drilling, Inc, with a truck mounted Deidrich D-50 drill rig, equipped with an automatic hammer, using 2¼ inch hollow stem augers. The borings were drilled on October 10 and 11, 2017 under the general direction of this author and in general accordance with the Site
Specific Health and Safety Plan approved by NASA Glenn and with our Specifications
For Subsurface Exploratory Work which are included. The boring locations were selected by our office and approved and marked by the NASA surveyors. Two of the borings, B-10 and B-11 were drilled within the perimeter of the previously existing
Building 21 Annex, and within the perimeter of the proposed building. Borings, B-12 and B-13, were drilled north of theBuilding 21 Annex to obtain subsurface information at the north and east perimeter walls of the proposed building.
To supplement the new borings, on October 20, 2017, 2 test pits were excavated within the perimeter of the proposed building by B&B Wrecking, using a Komatsu PC390LC
Track Hoe. Their locations were determined by our office and logged by this author.
Test Pit TP-1 was located where the proposed column foundation, C-6, nearly aligns with an existing column foundation from Building 21. Test Pit TP-2 was selected near the center of borings B-8, B-9, B-11 and B-12. Their locations are superimposed on the attached Boring Location Plan provided by the NASA surveyors. Logs of Borings and
Test Pits are also attached.
The subsurface conditions generally consist of fill over naturally deposit brown silty clay, becoming harder with depth. The depth of man deposited fill varied from 2 to mailto:Timothy.J.Wardlow@nasa.gov
NASA Glenn Research Center - 2 - March 28, 2018
13.5 feet. Two feet of man deposited material was encountered in the 2 test pits, including approximately 1 foot of soil over 5 inches of asphalt with 8 to 12 inches of slag base from the former parking lot that we understand existed, prior to the construction of the “Annex” to Building 21. Three feet of man deposited sandy fill was encountered in boring B-10 overlying 12 inches of concrete – believed to be the former loading dock for Building 21, again, prior to construction of the Annex. Borings 11, 12 and 13 encountered 8.5, 8.5 and 13.5 feet of fill, respectively. See the summary table below:

Where encountered, groundwater depths ranged from 2 to 14 feet. Boring B-10 was dry. Upon completion of drilling, groundwater was present in only two of the borings, B-12 at 27 feet and B-13 at 20 feet. Completed borings were grouted with a bentonite slurry at the end of the day. Because boring B-12 extended over the course of the 2 days of drilling, the drill rig was left over the bore hole with the augers left in the ground. The water level was recorded at 2 feet below grade on the second day.
Borings confirmed that an allowable bearing capacity of 4500 psf can be attained in the hard, silty clay throughout the building. Caissons supported at a depth on the order of
16 to 20 feet below existing grade and at least one caisson diameter into the hard till, may be proportioned for bearing pressures of up to 18,000 pounds per square foot under all loads. Estimated depths to this stratum as well as competent bedrock were better defined across the site and provided in tabular form to BuroHappold, the project structural engineers, prior to this report. The table includes recommended foundation sizes and depths and went through several iterations as the data was developed and the loading was better defined by BuroHappold. A copy of the final iteration of the table, dated March 26, 2018, is also included.
We understand that following the recommendations of our October 22, 2015 Report, BuroHappold is considering caisson foundation. Other deep foundations could also be considered, including driven piles, controlled modulus columns, or geopiers®. The noise and vibration from those activities however could be considered offensive or undesirable.
For drilled pier, caisson, foundations bearing at least one caisson diameter into the hard, silty clay, a vertical subgrade modulus, ksv, of 75kcf can be expected for the hard, silty clay. An average horizontal subgrade modulus, ksh, ranging from 70 to 85 kcf can be expected. To obtain the requested spring constant the given moduli must be multiplied
NASA Glenn Research Center - 3 - March 28, 2018 by the area supported by one spring in the structural model the necessary unit conversions between feet and inches.
While the superstructure and floor slab have been removed, most of the foundations from the original Building 21 Annex remain. We understand that these caisson foundations will be removed when there is a conflict between their locations and the proposed foundations. From a constructability standpoint, we have recommended that the existing caissons be removed if they are within one diameter of the proposed caisson. Where the distance is sufficiently large that no conflict is presented, the top of the existing foundations should be removed to 2 feet below proposed top of subgrade in order to reduce the possibility of reflective cracking through the proposed floor slab.
Based on the observed performance of the floor slab and the strength characteristics and age of the underlying fill - the existing fill, concrete loading dock and asphalt pavement, and slag base beneath the former Annex can remain on-site. However, as a significant portion of the asphalt will be removed with the existing caissons, to limit differential movement of the new slab, we recommend removing the remaining asphalt and slag base within 2 feet of the proposed top of subgrade and replacing with controlled compacted engineered fill.
The above considerations are based on the soil information developed and reviewed, and the building information as described above. The number of borings is necessarily limited. The assumption was made that the materials encountered in the borings are representative of that found on the entire site and do not vary significantly between points explored. Any subsurface conditions encountered, which are different from those shown or described above, should be brought to our attention so that we can determine if changes in our recommendations are required.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office should questions arise, or if clarification is required regarding this addendum or our original report.
