Research and review of readily available geologic data and general information pertinent to the site.
Excavation of two (2) exploratory borings per location (for a total of four (4) borings) and collection of relatively undisturbed and bulk samples for subsequent laboratory testing.
Laboratory testing of soil samples collected during the field exploration.
Review of site seismicity.
Review and analysis of geologic and geotechnical engineering data.
Compilation of this geotechnical report which presents GeoTek’s findings of pertinent site geotechnical conditions and geotechnical recommendations for site development.
2. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION
This report addresses two site locations R800 and MFA7. The subject sites are located within
Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton at R800: 33°26’49.40”N, -117°25’34.30W and MFA7:
33°26’38.60”N, -117°27’21.40W, in San Diego County, California This report is limited to the areas of proposed improvements as discussed herein and depicted on the boundaries presented on the Geotechnical Map, Figure 2.
Site R800 is accessible via a dirt trail that can be accessed off Case Springs Road. The proposed structure is to reside at the relatively flat top of a moderate hill, adjacent a linear bedrock outcropping. Although the site is relatively flat, the precise location may result in a location more steep. There are no existing improvements at this site.
Site MFA7 is likewise accessible via a dirt trail which branches off from San Juan Road. The proposed structure would be constructed at the terminus of a ridge in “badland” topography
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 2 with steep slopes flanking the west, south, and east. The site gradient is approximately 8:1
(horizonatl:vertical), the precise location may result in a location more steep. The site no longer contains any improvements, with the exception of a demolished foundation of a previous light structure.
2.2 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed site improvements for both sites R800 and MFA7 would consist of three stacked shipping containers, each 40 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8.5 feet deep. GeoTek understands that the stacked containers will be supported on a concrete slab foundation.
3. FIELD STUDY AND LABORATORY TESTING
3.1 FIELD EXPLORATION
The field work for this study was conducted on July 7th, 2021 and consisted of a site reconnaissance, excavation of two (2) exploratory hollow stem auger borings at each location
(for a total of four borings), and the collection of bulk and relatively undisturbed soil samples for subsequent laboratory testing. Geotechnical borings were advanced with a conventional truck-mounted, CME-75, drill rig. A geologist from GeoTek visually logged the excavations as shown on the Exploration Logs, Appendix A. Approximate locations of test excavations are presented on the Geotechnical Map, Figure 2.
3.2 LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory tests were performed on soil samples collected during the field exploration. The purpose of the laboratory testing was to evaluate their physical and chemical soil properties for use in engineering design and analysis. Results of the laboratory testing program, along with a brief description and relevant information regarding testing procedures, are included in
Appendix B.
4. GEOLOGIC AND SOILS CONDITIONS
4.1 REGIONAL SETTING
The subject site is located in the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province. The Peninsular Ranges province is one of the largest geomorphic units in western North America. Basically, it extends from the Transverse Ranges geomorphic province to the top of Baja California. This province
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 3 varies in width from about 30 to 100 miles. It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Gulf of California and on the east by the Colorado Desert Province.
The Peninsular Ranges are essentially a series of northwest-southeast oriented fault blocks.
Several major fault zones are found in this province. The Elsinore Fault zone and the Jacinto Fault zone borders the northeasterly margin of the province. The Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon
Fault zone meanders the southwest margin of the province. No faults are shown in the immediate site vicinity on the map reviewed for the area.
4.1.1 EARTH MATERIALS
A brief description of the earth materials encountered during the subsurface exploration is presented in the following sections. Based on published geologic maps, R800 is mapped as
Cretaceous-aged Santiago Peak Volcanics, however based on our site specific evaluation the upper ten feet consists of Cretaceous-aged Trabuco Formation. The MFA7 site is underlain solely by conglomeratic bedrock of the Cretaceous-aged Trabuco formation.
4.1.1 Cretaceous Trabuco Formation (Ktr)
Cretaceous age Trabuco formation was encountered in all four (4) borings and was the only geologic formation found within the scope of exploration at the MFA7 site. The Trabuco
Formation as encountered at the MFA7 site consists of weathered conglomerate, with a grey brown silty sand matrix, with coarse gravel to small boulder-sized clasts derived from nearby granitic and metamorphic sources. The formation was found to be dense to very dense, with many minimally weathered cobble/boulder sized fragments.
In borings B-1 and B-2 (R800 site), sandstone of the Trabuco Formation comprised the upper ten feet of earth materials below the ground surface. As encountered in the borings, the formation consists of a weathered fine to medium sandstone, yellow-brown with orange/red mottling. Within these borings, the sandstone was dense to very dense, poorly graded, and jointed in some areas.
4.1.2 Cretaceous Santiago Peak Volcanics (Kvsp)
The Cretaceous age Santiago Peak Volcanics were encountered at depth in borings B-1 and B-2
R800 site) beginning at approximately 10 feet below the ground surface. The formation as encountered in the borings consisted of metamorphic volcanic rock, pink-brown, dry, and very dense. The formation was notably jointed and fractured, and excavates as a pink-white sandy gravel.
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 4
4.2 SURFACE AND GROUND WATER
4.2.1 Surface Water
Surface water was not observed during the site visit. If encountered, surface water at both sites is likely the result of precipitation or possibly some minor surface run-off from immediately surrounding grades. Provisions for surface drainage should be addressed by the project design civil engineer.
4.2.2 Groundwater
Groundwater or perched water was not encountered in any of the explorations and is not anticipated to be a factor in site development. Localized perched groundwater could be present but is also not anticipated to be a significant factor in site development.
4.3 EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS
4.3.1 Surface Fault Rupture
The geologic structure of the entire southern California area is dominated mainly by northwest-trending faults associated with the San Andreas system. The site is in a seismically active region.
No active or potentially active fault is known to exist at this site nor is the site situated within an
“Alquist-Priolo” Earthquake Fault Zone or a Special Studies Zone (Bryant and Hart, 2007). No faults are identified on the geologic maps reviewed for the immediate proximity of the study area.
4.3.2 Liquefaction/Seismic Settlement
Liquefaction describes a phenomenon in which cyclic stresses, produced by earthquake-induced ground motion, create excess pore pressures in relatively cohesionless soils. These soils may thereby acquire a high degree of mobility, which can lead to lateral movement, sliding, consolidation and settlement of loose sediments, sand boils and other damaging deformations.
This phenomenon occurs only below the water table, but, after liquefaction has developed, the effects can propagate upward into overlying non-saturated soil as excess pore water dissipates.
The factors known to influence liquefaction potential include soil type and grain size, relative density, groundwater level, confining pressures, and both intensity and duration of ground shaking. In general, materials that are susceptible to liquefaction are loose, saturated granular soils having low fines content under low confining pressures.
The liquefaction potential and seismic settlement potential on this site are considered nil due to the dense nature of underlying bedrock and absence of a shallow groundwater table underlying the site.
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 5
4.3.3 Other Seismic Hazards
Evidence of ancient landslides or slope instabilities at this site was not observed during this study or indicated on regional geologic maps. Thus, the potential for landslides is considered negligible.
The potential for secondary seismic hazards such as seiche and tsunami is considered to be remote due to site elevation and distance from an open body of water, as confirmed by the ASCE
Tsunami Hazard Tool.
5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GENERAL
Based on experience with these types of projects and geologic settings, GeoTek has anticipated a mat slab foundation will be preferred by the design, owner, and construction team.
Recommendations for remedial grading are presented in Section 5.1.2.
The proposed improvements appear feasible from a geotechnical viewpoint provided that the project design and construction comply with ordinances of the 2018 International Building Code
(IBC) and recommendations contained in this report. The Grading Guidelines included in
Appendix C outline general procedures and do not anticipate all site-specific situations. In the event of conflict, the recommendations presented in the text of this report should supersede those contained in Appendix C.
5.1.1 Site Clearing and Preparation
Site preparation should commence with removal of vegetation and surface debris, if encountered.
These materials should be properly disposed of off-site.
5.1.2 Removals
Given the dense nature of the shallow native bedrock at both sites and the expected mat slab foundation design, GeoTek anticipates removals to be limited to the upper two feet of loose earth materials, as encountered in the borings.
The mat slab concrete foundations should be placed directly on competent bedrock or properly compacted fill. Competent bedrock is considered to be sedimentary bedrock of the Trabuco
Formation, non-porous, and non-yielding to a soil probe. Any fill placed should be tested to verify relative compaction. The gradient of the removal bottom should not be steeper than a one vertical foot over a distance of 10 horizontal feet (i.e., 1 in 10 overall). It is anticipated that minor fluctuations of the ground surface may result due to grading and foundation excavation, and may
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 6 include surface voids from gravel, cobbles, and boulders that might slough from grading/excavation. Provided such voids are localized and are filled with concrete or compacted fill during construction, they would not be considered adverse when establishing the 1 in 10 gradient of the removal bottom.
The bedrock exposed in the bottom of the excavations should be observed by a representative of the geotechnical engineer to confirm that the exposed material is suitable for foundation support. Any unsuitable bearing material identified by the geotechnical engineer should be removed and replaced as engineered fill or the excavation deepened until suitable bedrock is encountered.
5.1.3 Engineered Fill
On-site materials are generally considered suitable for reuse as engineered fill provided, they are free from vegetation, roots, and other deleterious material. Rock fragments greater than six (6) inches in maximum dimension should not be incorporated into engineered fill without the following consideration. If excavations for foundations and trenches can accommodate large rock during construction, rock larger than 6-inches on longest dimension can be incorporated into fills, however, there should be a suitable amount of sand-size particles in the fill so proper compaction can be verified by ASTM D 6938 Nuclear Densometer test procedures. Placing rock larger than 6 inches may also result in additional concrete due to widening of the trench from dislodged cobbles.
Engineered fill materials should be placed in horizontal lifts not exceeding eight (8) inches in loose thickness, moisture conditioned to at least two percent above the optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 90 percent per ASTM D 1557 test procedures.
5.1.4 Excavation Characteristics
It should be anticipated that dense rock and difficult excavation/drilling would be encountered for excavations into the site bedrock. Specialized excavation techniques and/or equipment may be necessary. “Over-break” of utility trench and footing excavations in the bedrock should be anticipated.
Temporary excavations for grading purposes and installation of underground utilities should be constructed in accordance with OSHA guidelines. Temporary vertical excavations within the on-site materials should be stable at four feet with a 1:1 (horizontal:vertical) cut above.
It is recommended that temporary slopes greater than 4 feet in height not be constructed at inclinations steeper than 1:1 (horizontal:vertical). Flatter inclinations may be needed if low-cohesive sandy soils or groundwater conditions are present. Temporary construction slopes
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 7 should be periodically examined by a competent person, per OSHA requirements, to look of evidence of instability.
5.1.5 Shrinkage and Subsidence
Factors impacting earthwork balancing on the site include bulking, trench spoil from utilities and footing excavations, as well as the accuracy of topography.
Due to the presence of near-surface bedrock, shrinkage and subsidence are not a consideration.
A bulking factor of approximately ten to fifteen percent is considered reasonable for the bedrock.
5.1.6 Trench Excavations and Backfill
Trench excavations should conform to OSHA regulations. The contractor should have a competent person, per OSHA requirements, on site during construction to observe conditions and to make the appropriate recommendations. Utility trench backfill should be compacted to at least 90% relative compaction as determined per ASTM D 1557 test procedures. Where applicable, based on jurisdictional requirements, the top 12 inches of backfill below subgrade for road pavements should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction.
Compaction should be achieved with a mechanical compaction device. Jetting of trench backfill is not recommended. If soils to be used as backfill have dried out, they should be properly moisture-conditioned prior to placement in trenches.
5.2 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The following design recommendations are prepared based on our review of the proposed project plans and our experience with similar projects. In addition to the foundation designs presented in section 5.2.1, final embedment should maintain a minimum set back from the face of descending slopes of 7 feet to the bottom outside edge of the constructed foundation.
5.2.1 Mat Foundation
A mat foundation system may be used to support the proposed structures. The mat foundation should have a minimum embedment depth of 24 inches below lowest adjacent grade and may be designed using an allowable bearing capacity of 5,000 psf, provided the mat is directly underlain by competent material, either bedrock or engineered fill. If the mat foundation excavation exposes fill, testing to verify relative compaction should be performed and additional compactive efforts applied if warranted. The recommended allowable soil bearing pressures may be increased by one-third for temporary seismic or wind loading. Reinforcement within the mat foundation should be determined by the structural engineer.
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 8
For resistance to lateral loads, an allowable coefficient of friction of 0.45 between the base of the foundation elements and underlying bedrock material is recommended. In addition, an allowable passive resistance equal to an equivalent fluid weight of 350 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) for engineered fills acting against the foundations may be used to resist lateral forces. The top foot of passive resistance at foundations should be neglected unless the ground surface is covered by concrete or pavement.
Where the mat foundation is to be designed as a beam on an elastic foundation, a modulus of subgrade reaction (k-value) of 250 pounds per cubic inch (pci) may be considered for design provided the mat foundation is directly underlain by competent material, either bedrock or engineered fill.
It is estimated that the mat foundation may experience a static settlement of ½ inch. The structural engineer should consider this magnitude of static settlement into their design.
5.2.2 Foundation Set Backs
Minimum setbacks for all foundations should comply with the 2018 IBC. Improvements not conforming to these setbacks are subject to the increased likelihood of excessive lateral movements and/or differential settlements. If large enough, these movements can compromise the integrity of improvements. The bottom outside edge of all footings should be set back a minimum of H/2 (where H is the slope height) or seven feet, whichever is less from the face of any descending slope.
5.2.3 Seismic Design Parameters
The R800 site is located at approximately 33.4471 Latitude and -117.4262 Longitude whereas the
MFA7 site is located at approximately 33.4440 Latitude and -117.4559 Longitude. Site spectral accelerations (Ss and S1), for 0.2 and 1.0 second periods for a risk targeted two (2) percent probability of exceedance in 50 years (MCER) were determined using the web interface provided by SEAOC/OSHPD (https://seismicmaps.org) to access the USGS Seismic Design Parameters. A
Site Class “B” is deemed appropriate for this site based on the apparent density of the sedimentary bedrock at the surface and remedial grading recommendations presented herein.

5.2.4 Soil Sulfate Content
The soil soluble sulfate content was determined in the laboratory for an on-site soil sample. The results indicate that the water-soluble sulfate result is less than 0.1 percent by weight, which is considered “negligible” as per Table 4.2.1 of ACI 318. Based on the test results and Table 4.3.1 of ACI 318, no special recommendations for concrete are required for this project due to soil sulfate exposure.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
GeoTek representatives should be present during site grading and foundation construction to check for proper implementation of the geotechnical recommendations. These representatives should perform at least the following duties:
Observe site clearing and grubbing operations for proper removal of all unsuitable materials.
Observe and test bottom of removals prior to fill placement or reinforcement bar for concrete placement.
Evaluate the suitability of on-site and import materials for fill placement and collect soil samples for laboratory testing where necessary.
Observe the fill for uniformity during placement, including utility trench backfill. Also, test the fill for density, relative compaction, and moisture content.
Observe and probe foundation excavations to confirm suitability of bearing materials with respect to density.
If requested, GeoTek will provide a construction observation and compaction report to comply with the requirements of the governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the project for the
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page 10 site. It is recommended that these agencies be notified prior to commencement of construction so that necessary construction permits can be obtained.
6. INTENT
It is the intent of this report to aid in the design and construction of the proposed development.
Implementation of the advice presented in this report is intended to reduce risk associated with construction projects. The professional opinions and geotechnical advice contained in this report are not intended to imply total performance of the project or guarantee that unusual or variable conditions will not be discovered during or after construction.
The scope of this evaluation is limited to the area explored that is shown on Figure 2. This evaluation does not and should in no way be construed to encompass any areas beyond the specific area of the proposed construction as indicated to us by the client. Further, no evaluation of any existing site improvements is included. The scope is based on GeoTek’s understanding of the project and the client’s needs, GeoTek’s proposal (Proposal No. P-0600120-SD) dated
June 11, 2021 and geotechnical engineering standards normally used on similar projects in this region.
7. LIMITATIONS
GeoTek’s findings are based on site conditions observed and the stated sources. Thus, GeoTek’s comments are professional opinions that are limited to the extent of the available data.

RESULTS OF LABORATORY TESTING
Camp Pendleton, San Diego County, California Page B2
SUMMARY OF LABORATORY TESTING
Identification and Classification Soils were identified visually in general accordance with the procedures of the Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils (ASTM D2488). The soil identifications and classifications are shown on the exploration logs in Appendix A.
Moisture-Density Relationship Laboratory testing was performed on a soil sample collected during the subsurface exploration. The laboratory maximum dry density and optimum moisture content were determined in general accordance with ASTM D 1557 test procedures. The results of the testing are presented in Appendix B.
Shear Strength Shear strength of remolded (compacted) site material was evaluated in general conformance with ASTM Test Method D3080 test procedures. The sample was remolded to approximately 90% of maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557 test procedures. Results are presented in Appendix B.
Expansion Index
Expansion Index testing was performed on a representative site soil sample. Testing was performed in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D 4829. The results of the testing are presented in
Appendix B.
Sulfate Content The soluble sulfate content of a representative site soil sample was determined by GeoTek’s subconsultant, Project X, in general accordance with ASTM D 4327 test procedures. The results of the testing are provided in Appendix B.
