About this file
This is a Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by Terracon Consultants, Inc. for CPH, Inc., focusing on a wall repair project located in Casselberry, Seminole County, Florida. The report details a geotechnical investigation for a retaining wall and slope repair at North Winter Park Drive and Gee Creek, involving four soil borings drilled to depths ranging from 9 to 40 feet. The project aims to address surface erosion of the side slope between the road and creek, with plans to install a sheet pile retaining wall to protect the roadway from further erosion.
The investigation revealed soil conditions consisting of fine sand with varying amounts of silt, with groundwater observed at depths between 6 and 9 feet. The recommended solution includes a cantilevered sheet pile wall with a length of 37 feet, using a PZ35 section with approximately 1 inch of permanent deflection at the top. The report suggests maintaining a 2 Horizontal to 1 Vertical (2H:1V) side slope and implementing surface erosion protection measures such as sodding, rip-rap, or erosion control mats. Corrosion testing indicates a slightly aggressive environment for steel and concrete, recommending protective coatings or sacrificial thickness for the sheet pile wall.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A geotechnical investigation has been performed for retaining wall and slope repair at North
Winter Park Drive and Gee Creek, north of Gee Creek Lane in Casselberry, Seminole County, Florida. Four borings, designated as B-1 through B-4, have been performed to depths of 9 to 40 feet below the ground surface in the area of the proposed wall and slope repair.
Based on the information obtained from our geotechnical exploration, the following geotechnical considerations were identified:
Soil conditions observed consisted of fine sand with varying amounts of silt. The relative densities of the sands were loose in the upper 6 feet and medium dense below.
Groundwater was observed at depths that ranged from about 6 to 9 feet below existing grade during the filed exploration (January of 2017). Seasonal high groundwater levels are expected to be dependent on water levels in the creek.
Surficial erosion of the side slope between the road and the creek is apparent. Based on topographic survey provided, current side slopes of 1H:1V are apparent. A sheet pile retaining wall is planned to protect the roadway from eroding into the creek. Use of a cantilevered sheet pile wall placed at the top of the slope would require sheet pile lengths of at least 37 feet (from the top of the wall) and would require a relatively heavy section such as a PZ35 with approximately 1 inch of permanent deflection at the top.
This summary should be used in conjunction with the entire report for design purposes. It should be recognized that details were not included or fully developed in this section, and the report must be read in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. The section titled GENERAL COMMENTS should be read for an understanding of the report limitations.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
GEE CREEK AT NORTH WINTER PARK DRIVE
CASSELBERRY, SEMINOLE COUNTY, FLORIDA
Terracon Project No. H1165331
INTRODUCTION
This geotechnical engineering report has been performed for the retaining wall and slope repair at North Winter Park Drive and Gee Creek, north of Gee Creek Lane in Casselberry, Seminole
County, Florida as shown on the Topographic Vicinity Map included as Exhibit A-1 in Appendix
A. Four borings, designated as B-1 through B-4, were performed to depths of 9 to 40 feet below the existing ground surface in the area of the proposed wall and slope repair. Logs of the borings along with a Boring Location Plan are included in Appendix A of this report. Laboratory testing procedures are included in Exhibit B-1 in Appendix B.
The purpose of these services is to provide information and geotechnical engineering recommendations for design of a sheet pile retaining wall and provide soil and groundwater parameters to assist in erosion protection for the side slope between the road and creek.
PROJECT INFORMATION
2.1 Project Description
The project involves a portion of North Winter Park Drive near Gee Creek Lane in Casselberry, Florida. The existing cantilever retaining wall adjacent to the roadway is on a shallow foundation system bearing near elevation +46 feet. The bottom of the creek is about elevation +40 feet. Due to surface erosion of the side slope, the footings for the retaining wall are exposed in areas and there is concern that the roadway may be damaged if the erosion continues. Installation of a sheet pile wall to protect North Winter Park Drive from erosion due to the creek is planned where the roadway is closest to the creek. Additional erosion control measures may be installed in other adjacent areas of North Winter Park Drive and Gee Creek Lane.
2.2 Site Location and Description
Item Description
Location This project is located along Gee Creek, just north of Gee Creek Lane in the City of Casselberry in Seminole County, Florida.
Current ground cover Grass and weeds on the creek bank, adjacent to a concrete retaining wall approximately 4 feet from Winter Park Drive.

Item Description
Existing topography
The USGS topographic quadrangle map “Casselberry, Florida” depicts the ground surface elevations in the vicinity of the site near elevation +50 feet referencing the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29). Site specific topographic information indicates that North Winter Park Drive is near elevation +50 feet and the bottom of Gee Creek is near elevation +40 feet.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
3.1 Soil Survey
The Soil Survey of Seminole County, Florida as prepared by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Soil Conservation Service (SCS; later renamed the Natural Resource
Conservation Service - NRCS), identifies the soil type at the subject site as Pompano fine sand
(28). It should be noted that the Soil Survey is not intended as a substitute for site-specific geotechnical exploration; rather it is a useful tool in planning a project scope in that it provides information on soil types likely to be encountered. Boundaries between adjacent soil types on the
Soil Survey maps are approximate (included in Appendix as Exhibit A-2). A description of the mapped soil unit is included in Appendix A as Exhibit A-3.
3.2 Typical Profile
Based on the results of the borings, subsurface conditions on the project site can be generalized as follows:
Approximate Depth to Bottom of
Stratum (feet) Material Description
Relative
Density
6 Fine sand (SP) and fine sand with silt (SP-SM) Loose1
At least 40 feet Fine sand (SP) and fine sand with silt (SP-SM) Medium dense
1. Due to concerns for buried utilities, the upper 6 feet of the borings were hand augered. A static penetrometer was used to evaluate the density of the soils where hand augering was performed.
Static penetrometer readings are presented on the boring logs in Appendix A.
Conditions encountered at each boring location and results of laboratory testing are indicated on the individual boring logs. Stratification boundaries on the boring logs represent the approximate location of changes in soil types. The in-situ transition between materials may be gradual. Details for each of the borings can be found on the boring logs in Appendix A of this report. Descriptions of our field exploration are included as Exhibit A-5 in Appendix A. Descriptions of our laboratory testing procedures are included as Exhibit B-1 in Appendix B. General notes for SPT borings can
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 3 be found in Exhibit C-1. A more detailed description of the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS) is included as Exhibit C-2 in Appendix C.
3.3 Groundwater
The boreholes were observed during drilling for the presence and level of groundwater.
Groundwater was observed in the borings, between depths of 6 and 6 feet below existing grade.
It should be recognized that fluctuations of the groundwater table will occur due to seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, runoff and other factors not evident at the time the boring was performed. In addition, perched water can develop within higher permeability soils overlying less permeable soils. Therefore, groundwater levels during construction or at other times in the future may be higher or lower than the levels indicated on the boring logs. Seasonal high groundwater levels at the site are dependent on seasonal fluctuations of the water levels in the creek.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Based on the information obtained from our geotechnical exploration, the following geotechnical considerations were identified:
Soil conditions observed consisted of sand with varying amounts of silt at existing grade to the explored depths of 9 to 40 feet below existing grade.
Slope stability analyses indicates that side slopes of 2 Horizontal to 1 Vertical (2H:1V) should be stable if adequate surface erosion protection methods are installed.
Use of a cantilevered sheet pile wall placed at the top of the slope would require sheet pile length of 37 feet, assuming soils in the creek may scoured to elevation +38 feet. For sheet pile section PZ35, a top deflection of about 1 inch is anticipated.
4.1 Slope Stability Analyses
Slope stability analyses were performed with the computer program, STABL for Windows, Version
3.0, for the typical soil profile described previously. These analyses indicate that the embankment should generally be stable where a side slope of 2H:1V is present. The safety factor for slope stability can be significantly affected by lowering of the groundwater level in the canal. Slope stability analyses were performed considering a groundwater table difference of 3 feet between the creek and at the slope face. Printouts of a few representative slope stability analysis results are included in Appendix D.
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 4
Where side slopes steeper than 2H:1V are present, and/or if higher variation in groundwater levels are anticipated, side slope stabilization measures, such as construction of gabions or similar measures, may be appropriate. Surface erosion measures, such as sodding, placement of rip-rap, or erosion control mats are recommended along all areas of the side slope.
4.2 Sheet Pile Analyses
It is our understanding sheet piles will be installed along the portion of the roadway closest to the creek. Based on survey information and cross-sections provided, the following embankment geometry was analyzed:
The top of the embankment is near elevation +50 feet.
The creek bottom is scoured to an elevation of +38 feet. The soils in front of the sheet pile above elevation +38 feet were not considered in the analysis, so an exposed height of 12 feet was used in the analysis.
Sheet pile analyses considered a cantilevered sheet pile installed at the top of the slope.
The water level in the creek was assumed to be near current levels (near elevation +41 feet) and elevation +47 feet behind the wall. A surcharge load of 100 psf was applied in the analyses within a horizontal distance of 6 feet from the top of the slope and a surcharge load of 250 psf was applied from 6 to 30 feet from the top of the wall.
A factor of safety of 1.0 for both active and passive pressures was used to determine the pile tip elevation. Factors of safety of 1.0 and 1.5 for active and passive pressures, respectively, were used to determine the minimum section properties.
The input soil and groundwater parameters were obtained from the SPT borings performed for this exploration. Sheet pile geometry and sections were evaluated using the software model, Shoring Suite, Version 8. The attached Table E-1 in Appendix E presents a summary of the analysis results.
For the cantilevered sheet pile section, a sheet pile length of 37 feet is required. Use of a sheet pile section PZ35 would provide a deflection of about 1 inch at the top of the wall.
The sheet pile wall above was designed to prevent soils from behind the wall from continuing to erode towards the creek. However, some sloughing of soils in front of the wall towards the creek may continue after installation of the sheet pile wall, unless surface erosion measures are installed.
Corrosion Protection: Corrosion series testing was performed on soil samples obtained from the anticipated sheet pile retaining wall location. The results of the corrosion series testing is included
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 5 as Exhibit B-2 in Appendix B. Based on the testing, an environmental classification of slightly aggressive for both steel and concrete is recommended. Protective coating or sacrificial thickness of steel should be considered with regards to the corrosive environment.
Turbidity Control: Turbidity should be controlled in accordance with water management district and other governing requirements.
Future Excavations: Future excavation or dredging in the creek should consider the sheet pile wall. Removal of soils in front of the sheet pile walls may cause movement of the sheet pile wall and possibly failure of the wall. Dredging should not be attempted without further engineering evaluation.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Terracon should be retained to review the final design plans and specifications so comments can be made regarding interpretation and implementation of our geotechnical recommendations in the design and specifications. Terracon also should be retained to provide observation and testing services during grading, excavation, foundation construction and other earth-related construction phases of the project.

Field Exploration Description
The boring locations were laid out at the project site by Terracon personnel. The locations indicated on the attached diagram are approximate and were measured by pacing distances and estimating right angles. The locations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the means and methods used to define them.
The field exploration was planned to include one boring to a depth of 40 feet where the proposed sheet pile retaining wall will be constructed and three borings to a depth of 15 feet in adjacent areas. Due to access restrictions onto private property, one boring (B-3) was performed as a manual auger boring rather than an SPT boring with a drill rig.
The SPT soil borings were drilled with rotary drilling rig equipped with a rope and cathead-operated safety hammer. Due to concerns for buried utilities, the upper 5 feet of the SPT borings were hand augered. The boreholes were advanced with a cutting head and stabilized with the use of bentonite (drillers’ mud). Soil samples were obtained by the split spoon sampling procedure in general accordance with the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) procedure. In the split spoon sampling procedure, the number of blows required to advance the sampling spoon the last 12 inches of an 18-inch penetration or the middle 12 inches of a 24-inch penetration by means of a 140-pound hammer with a free fall of 30 inches, is the standard penetration resistance value (N). This value is used to estimate the in-situ relative density of cohesionless soils and the consistency of cohesive soils. The sampling depths and penetration distance, plus the standard penetration resistance values, are shown on the boring logs.
Due to access restrictions, Boring B-3 was performed with manual augering equipment. The hand auger boring procedure consisted of manually turning a 3 inch diameter, 6 inch long sampler into the soil until it is full. The sampler was then retrieved and the soils in the sampler were visually examined and classified. The procedure was repeated until the desired termination depth was achieved or shallow groundwater levels cause collapse of the borehole. Samples of representative strata were obtained for further visual examination and classification in our laboratory.
A penetrometer was used within the hand augered portion of the SPT borings and in the hand auger boring. The penetrometer used during the hand auger procedure is a hand operated device which obtains the relative resistance to penetration of a standard size cone shaped tip into the soil. As the cone is pushed into the soil the maximum pressure is indicated on a hydraulic gauge or proving ring. These pressure readings are shown on the attached boring profiles at the tested locations and depths as well as Exhibit A-10. Although the penetrometer readings do not directly correlate to the SPT N-values, comparison of penetrometer reading within and between boring locations can provide a basis for evaluation of relative looseness and compaction of soils.
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable Exhibit A-5
Portions of the samples from the borings were sealed in glass jars to reduce moisture loss, and then the jars were taken to our laboratory for further observation and classification. Upon completion, the boreholes were backfilled with the site soil.
Field logs of each boring were prepared by the drill crew. These logs included visual classifications of the materials encountered during drilling as well as the driller's interpretation of the subsurface conditions between samples. The boring logs included with this report represent an interpretation of the field logs and include modifications based on laboratory observation of the samples.

LABORATORY TESTING
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable Exhibit B-1
Laboratory Testing
During the field exploration, a portion of each recovered sample was sealed in a glass jar and transported to our laboratory for further visual observation and laboratory testing. Selected samples retrieved from the borings were tested for moisture (water) content, grain size analyses
(soil passing a US standard #200 sieve and full sieve analyses), and corrosion series. The visual-manual classifications were modified as appropriate based upon the laboratory testing results.
The laboratory testing results are included in this report on the respective boring logs, except for full sieve grain size analyses and corrosion series testing. The results of the corrosion series testing and full sieve analyses are included on Exhibit B-2. Grain size curves generated on the full sieve analyses are included as Exhibit B-3.
The soil samples were classified in general accordance with the appended General Notes and the Unified Soil Classification System based on the material's texture and plasticity. The estimated group symbol for the Unified Soil Classification System is shown on the boring logs and a brief description of the Unified Soil Classification System is included in Appendix C.

*** The design parameters indicated in this table were used in sheet pile wall analysis. If the contractor plans operations which exceed the design parameters shown above, it is the Contractor's responsibility to redesign and construct the walls accordingly. Safety factors of 1.5 and 1.0 were applied to the passive and active soil pressures, respectively in evaluation of the minimum required sheet pile section. A safety factor of 1.0 for both active and passive pressures was used in pile tip elevation. The sheet pile analysis and section properties are per 1-foot of wall. If groundwater elevations vary significantly from those shown in this table, the design engineer should be notified immediately in order to re-evaluate the parameters presented in this table.
