About this file
This is a Preliminary Report of Geotechnical Exploration for a federal construction project at Naval Air Station Jacksonville (NASJAX). The report, prepared by Legacy Engineering, Inc. and dated October 22, 2024, documents subsurface conditions and provides foundation design recommendations for the P-683 Engine Repair Facility project.
The exploration involved nine Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings drilled to 100 feet below existing grade to characterize soil conditions and support foundation engineering. The general soil profile consists of fine sands with varying densities interspersed with sandy clay layers to depths of 37.5 to 89 feet, followed by very dense fine sands extending to 100 feet. Groundwater was measured at depths ranging from 1.8 to 11.7 feet below grade. Soil resistivity testing indicates moderately aggressive conditions, and the site is classified as Seismic Site Classification D (Stiff Soil). The report recommends shallow foundations (4,000 psf bearing pressure) for the approximately 632-by-413-foot engine repair facility with wall loads not exceeding 10 klf and column loads not exceeding 300 kips. For the five-story parking garage structure (estimated wall loads of 45 klf and column loads of 1,250 kips), the report recommends deep Auger Cast-in-Place (ACIP) piles with allowable compressive capacities ranging from 46 to 199 tons depending on pile diameter (14 to 18 inches) and bearing depth (45 to 91 feet). The report includes detailed site preparation guidelines, settlement estimates, pile installation specifications, quality control procedures, and lateral earth pressure parameters for retaining walls and elevator pits.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION
1.1 Site Location and Description
The subject project is located across several portions of the existing NASJAX facility. In general, the locations are the parking lot in the northwest quadrant of Ranger Street and Enterprise Avenue, the parking lot southeast of Enterprise Avenue (bound to the west and east by Ranger Street and Wright Street), the gravel parking lot west of Wright Street, and the parking lots west of the current FRCSE warehouses. The sites are generally occupied by existing asphalt/gravel paved parking lots and landscaping areas. Areas adjacent to the site are occupied by existing NASJAX buildings.
1.2 Project Description
Project information was provided through recent email and telephone correspondence with Michael Baker International. You provided a set of project plans (undated) prepared by Micheal Baker International. The provided document shows the layout of the proposed construction, property boundary limits, and adjacent roadways. Based on the information provided to us, we understand the proposed project will consist of constructing an engine repair facility and two parking garages at Naval Air Station Jacksonville (NAS JAX) in Jacksonville, Florida. The engine repair facility will be approximately 632 feet by 413 feet. We understand continuous wall and individual column loads for this building will not exceed 10 klf and 300 kips, respectively. Floor loads of 250 psf are anticipated for the repair facility. The parking garage structures for the facility will be approximately 194 feet by 284 feet. The four-story parking garage (at Ranger Street and Enterprise Avenue) has been eliminated from consideration; and the two-story parking garage between Ranger Street and Wright Street has been increased to a five-story structure. We further estimate that continuous wall and individual column loads for the five-story garage will not exceed 45 klf and 1250 kips, respectively.
The proposed office building will be two stories in height consisting of steel framing. Maximum wall and column loads for the office building will not exceed 9 klf and 200 kips, respectively. We have assumed floor loads in the office building will not exceed 100 psf. Recommendations for the office building were provided in our previous geotechnical report dated September 1, 2022 (Legacy Project No. 22-1123.R2). The office building will not be further addressed in this report.
Legacy Engineering completed a previous geotechnical exploration for this facility under Legacy Project No.
22-1123.R2, report dated September 1, 2022. The report included recommendations for additional SPT borings to a depth of 100 feet in the engine repair facility and parking garage areas. The purpose of the deeper borings was to characterize the deeper soil conditions and provide additional pile capacities below a consistent clay layer between 61 and 77 feet.
2.0 FIELD EXPLORATION
To further explore the subsurface conditions within the areas of the proposed structures, nine (9) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings (B1 through B9) were drilled to depths of 100 feet below the existing grade.
The borings were located using a differentially corrected Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and should be considered accurate to the degree implied by the method utilized. The SPT borings were conducted in accordance with ASTM D 1586. The subsurface conditions encountered at each boring location, and the recorded groundwater levels, are presented on the Generalized Soil Profiles and Test Boring Records in Appendix A.
24-1137.1 2 October 22, 2024
3.0 LABORATORY TESTING
3.1 Index Testing
Soil samples recovered during the field exploration were visually classified in accordance with ASTM D 2488.
Additional testing consisting of fines content tests and water content were performed to better define the classification of soils encountered and to provide engineering characteristics of the soils. The results of the testing are presented on the Test Boring Records and the Summary of Laboratory Test Results in Appendix A.
4.0 GENERAL SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
4.1 General Soil Profile
The boring locations and general subsurface conditions that were encountered are graphically illustrated on the Field Exploration Plan and Generalized Soil Profiles. Relatively detailed descriptions of the encountered subsurface conditions are presented on the Test Boring Records. When reviewing these records, it should be understood that the soil conditions may change significantly between the boring locations. The following discussion summarizes the soil conditions encountered.
Beneath 3 to 6 inches of topsoil, the SPT borings encountered very loose to very firm fine sands (SP), fine sand with silt (SP-SM), fine sand with clay (SP-SC), clayey fine sand and silty fine sand (SM) along with along with soft to stiff sandy clay (CH) to a depth of 37.5 to 58 feet. Firm to very dense fine sands (SP), fine sand with silt (SP-SM) and clayey fine sand (SC) along with Firm to stiff sandy clay (CH) was next penetrated to a depth of 63 to 89 feet. Very dense fine sands (SP) and fine sands with silt (SP-SM) then extended to the boring termination depths of 100 feet.
Exceptions to this general soil profile occurred at 2022 boring locations B10 and B21 where boring refusal was encountered at 3 feet and 4 feet respectively. At 2024 boring location B2, very loose fine sands (SP) and silty fine sands (SM) were penetrated between 2 feet and 11 feet, while boring B9 encountered very loose clayey to very clayey fine sand (SC) from 4 to 8 feet.
4.2 Groundwater Level
The groundwater level was measured at the boring locations, after boring completion, at depths of 1.8 and
11.7 feet below existing grade. The depth of the groundwater level encountered at each boring location is presented on the Generalized Soil Profiles and the Test Boring Records. The groundwater table will fluctuate depending on tidal fluctuations, seasonal variations, adjacent construction, surface water runoff, etc.
4.3 Soil Resistivity Classification
For the 2022 geotechnical exploration, soil resistivity testing was performed in the field at several boring locations, with a spacing (S) of 5 feet between each electrode, and a spacing to depth ratio of .05S (S in inches). The testing was performed in accordance with the Wenner test method. The classification of the tested soils is Moderately Aggressive. The table below presents the results of our testing.
24-1137.1 3 October 22, 2024
Boring Electrical Resistivity
B2 6,534 ohm-cm B9 7,455 ohm-cm
B23 8,305 ohm-cm B35 7,976 ohm-cm B39 17,900 ohm-cm B40 61,300 ohm-cm B42 41,700 ohm-cm
4.4 Seismic Site Classification
Based on the International Building Code, the results of our borings, and the previously performed borings, the subject site has a Site Classification of D (Stiff Soil).
5.0 GENERAL FOUNDATION DISCUSSION
A very important factor in selecting the foundation type of a structure is the amount of foundation settlement that can be expected under the anticipated loading conditions. When excessive foundation settlement is predicted, often times a different foundation type (for instance, a deep foundation in lieu of a shallow foundation) is selected, or ground improvement methods are considered to utilize shallow foundations over improved soils.
Part of our analysis included estimating the amount of settlement at the proposed structures. Our settlement estimates for the proposed structures are provided below. The range of settlement estimates presented in the table below are based on the average subsurface conditions (low end of estimate) and the worst subsurface conditions (high end of estimate) encountered throughout the site. We understand that you wish to utilize a soil bearing capacity of 4000 psf.
Foundation Bearing
Pressure Estimated Settlement (inches)
200 kips 300 kips 600 kips 1,250 kips 4,000 psf 0.55 to 1.0 0.70 to 1.30 1.20 to 2.30 1.85 to 4.50
Based on our review of the estimated settlements, and our experience with similar structures, it is anticipated that a conventional shallow foundation can be utilized for support of the proposed high bay industrial building. Soil improvement will be required for some isolated areas. The anticipated settlement estimates for the five-story parking garage structure may exceed tolerable structural limits if supported on shallow foundations.
For the parking garage structure, we have provided recommendations (discussed later in the report) for a deep foundation system consisting of auger cast-in-place (ACIP) piles. In the following section, we have provided recommendations for shallow foundations for the high-bay structure area.
6.0 SHALLOW FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 General
The following recommendations are made based upon a review of the attached soil test data, our understanding of the proposed construction, and experience with similar projects and subsurface conditions. We also reviewed the soil test data from the 2022 geotechnical exploration. If the structural
24-1137.1 4 October 22, 2024 loads, construction locations, or grading information change from those discussed previously, we request the opportunity to review and possibly amend our recommendations with respect to those changes.
Please report to us any conditions encountered during construction that were not observed during the performance of the borings. We will review, and provide additional evaluation, as required.
6.2 Building Foundations
Based on the results of the subsurface exploration, we consider the subsurface conditions in proposed high-bay structure area adaptable for support of the proposed structure on a properly designed and constructed shallow foundation system. We anticipate that some ground improvement will be needed in the areas of boring B2 (2 feet to 11 feet) and B9 (4 feet to 8 feet and 17 feet to 22 feet). Additional SPT borings will be needed to delineate these areas. Provided the construction area is prepared in accordance with the Site Preparation Section of this report, the following parameters may be used for foundation design.
6.3 Bearing Pressure
The maximum allowable net soil bearing pressure for shallow foundations should not exceed 4,000 pounds per square foot (psf). Net bearing pressure is defined as the soil bearing pressure at the base of the foundation in excess of the natural overburden pressure. The foundations should be designed based upon the maximum load that could be imposed by all loading conditions.
6.4 Foundation Size
The minimum widths recommended for any isolated column footing and continuous wall footings are 24 inches and 18 inches, respectively. Even though the maximum allowable soil bearing pressure may not be achieved, these width recommendations should control the minimum size of the foundations.
6.5 Bearing Depth
The foundations should bear at a depth of at least 2 feet below the finished exterior grade to provide confinement to the bearing level soils. We recommend stormwater and surface water be diverted away from the building exterior, both during and after construction, to reduce the possibility of erosion adjacent to exterior footings.
6.6 Bearing Material
The foundations may bear on either the compacted suitable in-place natural soils or compacted structural fill. The bearing level soils, after compaction, should exhibit densities of at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor), to the depth described subsequently in the Site Preparation section of the report. In addition to compaction, the bearing soils must exhibit stability and be free of “pumping” conditions.
6.7 Friction Resistance to Sliding
The shallow foundations will be constructed in granular well compacted sandy soils. We estimate the sliding friction (Fs) resistance for these shallow foundations will be:
Fs = 0.62 N Where N is the normal force.
24-1137.1 5 October 22, 2024
6.8 Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
The modulus of subgrade reaction is defined as the ratio of stress to deformation. It is typically used when designing floor slabs. Based on the shallow soils encountered at the boring locations, and the earthwork preparation procedures recommended in this report, we estimate a modulus of subgrade reaction of 125 pci be used for floor slab design. The recommended value for the modulus is dependent on the subgrade soils being prepared in accordance with Section 5.3 of this report.
6.9 Settlement Estimates
Post-construction settlement of the structures will be influenced by several interrelated factors, such as (1) subsurface stratification and strength/compressibility characteristics of the bearing soils; (2) footing size, bearing level, applied loads, and resulting bearing pressures beneath the foundations; (3) site preparation and earthwork construction techniques used by the contractor, and (4) external factors, including but not limited to vibration from offsite sources and groundwater fluctuations beyond those normally anticipated for the naturally-occurring site and soil conditions which are present.
Our settlement estimates for the structures are based upon the successful use of the site preparation recommendations presented later in this report. Any deviation from these recommendations could result in an increase in the estimated post-construction settlement of the structures.
Due to the sandy nature of the surficial soils, following the compaction operations, we expect a significant portion of settlement to be elastic in nature. This settlement is expected to occur relatively quickly, upon application of the loads, during and immediately following construction. Using the recommended maximum bearing pressure, and the field test data which we have correlated to the strength and compressibility characteristics of the subsurface soils, we estimate the total settlements of the structures to be approximately one inch or less. Once final structural loads are determined, we can provide more refined settlement estimates.
Differential settlement results from differences in applied bearing pressures and the variations in the compressibility characteristics of the subsurface soils. Based on the subsurface conditions as determined by the borings, it is anticipated that differential settlements will be within tolerable limits.
6.10 Site Preparation for Shallow Foundations
We recommend the following site preparation guidelines for the proposed building area:
1. Prior to construction, the location of existing underground utility lines within the construction area should be established. Provisions should then be made to relocate interfering utilities to appropriate locations. It should be noted that if underground pipes are not properly removed or plugged, they may serve as conduits for subsurface erosion which may subsequently lead to excessive settlement of the overlying structure.
2. Implement temporary groundwater control measures, as required. The groundwater should be maintained (dewatered) at least two feet below the depth of excavation required and two feet below compacted surfaces. Temporary groundwater control measures should be the responsibility of the contractor. Based on the measured groundwater levels, groundwater control measures may not be required if excavation depths are limited. Due to the relatively impermeable nature of the clayey soils encountered at relatively shallow depths (at some boring locations), temporary groundwater perching may be experienced after rain events.
24-1137.1 6 October 22, 2024
3. Strip the proposed construction limits of all demolition debris, grass, roots, topsoil, and other deleterious materials from within, and extending at least 5 feet beyond, the perimeter of the proposed structure.
Expect initial clearing and grubbing to depths of approximately 3 to 6 inches. Some areas will require 12 or more inches of stripping to remove isolated root zones and existing pavement structures whereas other areas will require less.
Areas of relatively shallow impenetrable subsurface conditions were encountered near Borings B10 and B21 (2022 geotechnical exploration). We recommend test pits be excavated to further explore these conditions.
Zones of rubble and deleterious materials should be removed, and the resulting excavations backfilled to level grade with compacted (95% modified Proctor value) structural fill. Recommendations in this report should be revised, as appropriate, based on the results of the test pits.
4. Compact the exposed surface of sandy soils using a medium vibratory drum roller (3-to-4-foot drum diameter and 5 to 8 tons static weight) until densities equivalent to at least 95% of the Modified Proctor Test (ASTM D 1557) maximum dry density are uniformly achieved to a depth of at least 12 inches. We recommend at least eight overlapping passes in perpendicular directions be made in the building area with the roller to increase the density and improve the uniformity of the underlying loose sandy soils. We recommend the compacted soils exhibit moisture contents within 2 percent of the optimum moisture content as determined by the Modified Proctor Test (ASTM D 1557).
Should the soils experience pumping and soil strength loss during the compaction operations, compaction work should be immediately terminated and (1) the disturbed soils removed and backfilled with dry structural fill soils which are then compacted, or (2) the excess moisture content within the disturbed soils allowed to dissipate before recompacting.
5. Test the compacted surface for density at a minimum of one location per 5,000 square feet of the proposed building area (minimum of three locations per structure).
6. Place structural fill to grade in loose lifts not exceeding a thickness of 12 inches and compact each lift until densities equivalent to at least 95% of the Modified Proctor Test (ASTM D 1557) maximum dry density are achieved. Structural fill and backfill is typically defined as non-plastic, inorganic, granular soil having less than 10 percent material passing the No. 200 mesh sieve (relatively clean sand). Typically, the material should exhibit moisture contents within 2 percent of the Modified Proctor optimum moisture content (ASTM D 1557) during the compaction operations. Compaction should continue until densities of at least 95 percent of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557) have been achieved within each foot of the compacted structural fill.
7. Perform density tests within each lift of fill at a minimum of one location per 5,000 square feet of the proposed building area (minimum of three locations per structure).
8. Excavate, compact and test footing excavations for density to a depth of one foot below bearing level. We recommend that you test one out of every four column footings and perform one test per every 100 linear feet of wall footing. Compaction operations in confined areas, such as footing excavations, can best be performed with a lightweight vibratory sled or other hand-held compaction equipment.
If clayey soils are encountered within footing excavations, we recommend the footings be over-excavated 2 feet and replaced with suitable compacted structural fill material. As an alternative, coarse aggregate (such as FDOT No. 57 or 67) stone could be utilized to backfill the footing excavations. If aggregate is used, it should be completely wrapped with a geotextile fabric, such as TC Mirafi RS 280i, or equivalent.
24-1137.1 7 October 22, 2024
7.0 DEEP FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 General
Borings B6 and B7 were drilled in the proposed location of the five-story parking garage. The following recommendations are made based upon a review of the attached soil test data, our understanding of the proposed construction, and experience with similar projects and subsurface conditions. If the project information is different than that previously discussed or should the location of the proposed construction be changed, we request the opportunity to review and possibly amend our recommendations with respect to those changes. Please report to us any conditions encountered during construction that were not observed during the performance of the borings. We will review, and provide additional evaluation, as required.
It is our opinion a deep foundation system consisting of Augered Cast-in-Place piles (ACIP) would provide the necessary support for the proposed five-story parking garage structure. ACIP piles typically provide favorable compressive and uplift capacities while their installation produces little disturbance from vibration and noise. The following discussion provides our recommendations for guidance of the pile design and installation.
7.2 Compressive and Uplift Capacities
It is estimated that 14, 16, and 18-inch ACIP piles, when properly installed to bear in the soils encountered at depths of 45 feet, 50 feet, 65 feet and 91 feet could provide adequate allowable compressive and uplift capacities for support of the proposed structure. The table below summarizes the allowable capacities. The provided allowable capacities include a factor of safety of 2. During final design stages and additional geotechnical work, we recommend that at least three additional SPT borings be drilled to a depth of a least 100 feet in the parking garage area to confirm the pile capacities presented below.
Pile Diameter Tip Bearing Depth(1)
Allowable Compressive Capacity(2)
Allowable Uplift Capacity(2)
14-inch
45 feet 46 tons 18 tons
50 feet 57 tons 24 tons
65 feet 91 tons 46 tons
91 feet 139 tons 65 tons
16-inch
45 feet 57 tons 20 tons
50 feet 70 tons 28 tons
65 feet 109 tons 53 tons
91 feet 168 Tons 74 tons
18-inch
45 feet 68 tons 23 tons
50 feet 83 tons 31 tons
65 feet 128 tons 60 tons
91 feet 199 tons 112 tons
1. Depth below grade existing at the time of our exploration.
2. Estimated capacities.
24-1137.1 8 October 22, 2024
The provided capacities are based on soil strength only. The structural integrity of the piles should be verified for the provided capacities. If the provided capacities exceed the structural strength of the pile, then the pile capacity should be adjusted accordingly.
7.3 Pile Group Effects
We recommend the minimum pile spacing to pile diameter ratio (S/D) not be less than 3.0. Using a minimum S/D ratio of 3.0, we anticipate that any capacity reductions due to group effects of individual piles which are installed within a group of piles should be small and therefore not considered significant in the design of the foundation system.
7.4 Pile Settlement
With the deep foundation system properly installed to bear at the recommended depths, and assuming the minimum S/D ratio is maintained as discussed above, we estimate the settlement of the piles will not exceed 0.15 to 0.30 inches. These settlement estimates have been based on the use of (1) the field and test data obtained during our geotechnical exploration, and (2) our experience with similar foundation systems in similar soil conditions.
7.5 Lateral Pile Analysis
Vertically aligned deep foundations, embedded in subsurface conditions similar to those encountered at this site, can typically support lateral loads on the order of five to ten percent of their compressive capacity without experiencing lateral deflections greater than 0.5 to 1 inch. If the design lateral loads are expected to exceed five to ten percent of the compressive capacity, we recommend a detailed lateral load analysis be conducted to estimate the lateral pile movement. If significant lateral resistance is needed, battered pile installation can greatly increase the horizontal load carrying capability of the deep foundation system. If required, Legacy Engineering can conduct detailed lateral pile analysis.
8.0 ACIP PILE CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1 Construction Techniques
ACIP piles should be formed by rotating a continuous, hollow flight auger to the desired pile tip level followed by slow withdrawal of the auger while pumping a cement-based grout under pressure through the auger. The pressure of the pumped cement grout at the auger tip or injection point should be sufficient to
(1) fill the pile shaft created by the augering process and withdrawal, (2) prevent “necking” or shaft area reductions due to lateral inward squeezing of any adjacent soft soils, and (3) cause an outward flow of grout into the adjacent soils. A pressure head within the hollow auger stem equivalent to approximately 10 feet of grout above the auger tip or injection point should be maintained to help verify that a proper grout pressure exists at the injection point. A sudden drop in the sustained pressure head often indicates that a soft zone or void has been encountered and therefore continued grout injection at this level should be performed until the pressure head has been re-established. Pre-augering and withdrawal of the auger before grouting may result in a reduction of the in-place shear strength characteristics of the adjacent soils and thus may require additional pile embedment upon re-augering and grouting.
8.2 Installation Sequence
Construction of ACIP piles located within six pile diameters, center-to-center, should not be performed until the adjacent pile has achieved its initial set, which typically occurs approximately 24 hours after pile construction. This time delay allows the “green” cement grout in the adjacent recently constructed piles to harden and helps reduce the possible loss of grout into the adjacent pile during its augering process.
24-1137.1 9 October 22, 2024
8.3 Steel Placement
Due to the possibility of some uplift and/or lateral loads which could be exerted upon the piles, a certain amount of steel reinforcement may be required within the piles. For relatively light tension loads, typically, a single steel rebar is placed to the bottom through the center of the piles. For bending moment, as well as tension loads, a steel reinforcement cage can be statically lowered into recently constructed piles (i.e., while the grout is still “fluid”). Placement of the reinforcing steel should be achieved by gravity, aided by centering devices and manual rotation, if required. The steel should not be driven or otherwise forced into the pile.
The amount of steel reinforcement will be dependent on the anticipated loading conditions and should be specified by the structural engineer.
8.4 Pile Load Test
We recommend that 2 piles be installed and load-tested in compression to at least twice the design load to confirm the allowable pile capacities. If required, we can also perform tension and/or lateral pile load tests.
Compression load testing should be performed in accordance with ASTM D 1143 with the exception that the maximum loading period per load increment should be limited to one hour (Quick Test). If required, the tension and lateral pile load tests should be performed in accordance with ASTM D 3689 and ASTM D3966, respectively. We do not recommend test piles be used as production piles.
8.5 Quality Control
Since ACIP piles concrete piles are “cast-in-place”, the quality of the pile foundation is dependent upon the skill, experience, and techniques used by the pile foundation contractor. Since the piles are not visible or accessible for direct inspection after construction, and since problems during installation are not as evident and easily observed as with driven piles, we recommend that a geotechnical engineer or experienced technician, acting under the supervision and direction of the engineer, observe and monitor the ACIP pile installations. His duties should consist of, but not be limited to, the following:
1. Verify that the piles are augered to the design tip bearing level.
2. Monitor the auger withdrawal rate and grouting operations to help verify that a sufficient mortar grout pressure head is maintained above the injection point during construction.
3. Confirm the grout pumping equipment is operating satisfactorily throughout the construction process.
4. Record the volume of grout required to construct the pile.
5. Monitor the installation of steel reinforcement to verify that the size, length, configuration and placement of the steel conforms to the job specifications.
We recommend that our firm be provided with the opportunity to make a general review of the foundation plans and foundation construction and earthwork specifications. If necessary, we will suggest any modifications that may be required in order to verify that our recommendations have been properly interpreted and implemented. We feel that our experience with ACIP pile construction could be helpful in preparing specifications for the foundation construction of this project.
9.0 LATERAL EARTH PARAMETERS
A series of permanent utility trenches will be constructed in the floor of the high-bay building. The trenches will be approximately 2 feet wide and 2 to 3 feet deep. The top of each trench will be covered with a metal grate for access. The walls of the trench will not be allowed to move and should be designed to resist the at-rest earth pressure condition. An elevator will be constructed near the northwest corner of the structure.
24-1137.1 10 October 22, 2024
The elevator pit will be approximately 4 to 6 feet deep. The walls of the elevator pit will not be allowed to move and should also be designed for the at-rest earth pressure condition.
The table below provides the soil parameters that can be utilized by the wall designer. A suitable factor of safety should be utilized for the design.
