Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Report, Marine Reserve Center Renovations, Aviation Road, Brooklyn, NY
Cromwell Ref 2015166 (Schnabel Ref 16C19001.03)
Dear Ms. Stephens:
SCHNABEL ENGINEERING, LLC (Schnabel) is pleased to submit our geotechnical engineering report for this project. This study was performed in accordance with our proposal dated November 5, 2018.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and geotechnical engineering analysis for the planned renovations to the Marine Reserve Center, which includes new parking and a proposed firewater storage tank.
Based on the test boring data, the on-site soils predominantly consist of alluvial soils except in an area of the proposed firewater tank where about 7.5 foot of Existing Fill soils were encountered, underlain by a concrete slab/vault in the area of Boring B-1 and B-2 (which is the proposed firewater tank location). No records of the history of this concrete slab/vault are known to exist. Additionally, petroleum odor was observed in the SPT samples in adjacent Boring B-2A to a depth of about 32 feet.
The soils below the Existing Fill are natural alluvial deposits consisting of dense to very dense Silty Sands (SM) and Poorly Graded Sands (SP). Groundwater was encountered at about 7 to 10 feet below the existing grades.
The on-site Existing Fill and natural soils are generally suitable for firewater tank support, provided they are adequately prepared as described herein. However, due to the unknowns about the concrete slab/vault and the presence of petroleum contaminated soils, we recommend that an alternate location for the firewater tank be identified, possible north of Boring B-2A.
The firewater tank may be supported on-grade on firm density Existing Fill and natural Alluvial soils. The tank slab and ringwall foundations may be sized for their distributed contact loadings, estimated to be less

February 21, 2019 Page 2 Schnabel Engineering, LLC Project 16C19001.03 ©2019 All Rights Reserved than 3,000 psf. Total tank settlements due to structural loads are expected to be less than 1.5 inch and and differential settlement between edges and center of tank is expected to be about half the total settlement. Poorly Graded Sand (SP) is present at existing ground surface grade therefore, the footings grades may be set at nominal structural depths.
In-situ infiltration tests were conducted at a depth of the anticipated bottom of the infiltration trenches at several locations across the site to assess the ability of the site to absorb storm water flows. In-situ infiltration rates are provided within Appendix A.
Based on our review of the test borings and geologic data, the soils encountered at the site are representative of Site Class D, or a Stiff Soil Profile.
Test boring data indicates the on-site surficial soils are Silty Sands (SM) and Poorly Graded Sands (SP).
These soils exhibited a soaked CBR values of 11.5 and a subgrade modulus value of at least 200 pci when adequately compacted. A recommended rigid pavement section for the new POV parking area is provided herein.
We are providing this executive summary solely for purposes of overview. Any party that relies on this report must read the full report. This Executive Summary omits several details, any one of which could be very important to the proper application of the report.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our agreement dated November 5, 2019 defines the scope of services for this project. Our detailed scope of work is described below:
Subsurface exploration including:
o Test borings with Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) in proposed parking areas and for firewater tank support
Field engineering services, including:
o Site (geologic) reconnaissance o Contacting public utility locating service and private locating service o Logging and inspection of the test borings o Determining the ground water levels at the site o Infiltration Testing
Laboratory testing of materials encountered in the subsurface exploration including:
o Moisture Contents, ASTM D2216 o Grain Size Distributions, ASTM D422 (and/or D1140), o Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils, ASTM D4318 o Proctor and CBR, ASTM 1557 and ASTM D1883
Geotechnical Engineering Analyses and Report, including:
o Estimated subsurface conditions and groundwater levels within the areas explored based on data collected in the subsurface exploration, February 21, 2019 Page 3 Schnabel Engineering, LLC o Recommended Seismic Site Class (and Seismic Site Coefficients (Fa and Fv)) in accordance with UFC criteria for use in design based on data collected in the subsurface exploration, o Geotechnical recommendations associated with support of new foundation loadings, including recommended allowable foundation bearing pressures and estimated settlements of new foundations.
o Concrete pavement section recommendations for new POV parking.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Description and Proposed Construction
The existing Marine Corps Reserve Center is located off Aviation Road in Brooklyn, NY. A new 200,000 gallon on-grade firewater tank is planned in the northern portion of the site. We anticipate the firewater tank will be less than 40 feet in height, and 30 to 35 feet in diameter. New POV concrete paved parking is planned in the southwestern portion of the property.
Schnabel obtained the site information from the topographic site plan dated August 17, 2018 and through our site visits. A Site Vicinity Map along with boring locations and infiltration locations is included as Figure 1.
Regional Geology
The surficial geology of Brooklyn is governed by the effects of the latest glacial period. The terminal moraine crosses central Brooklyn in a roughly east-west orientation. The project site is located on the south side of the terminal moraine within an area of glacial outwash and alluvial Plain Sediments. The glacial soils are underlain by Cretaceous sands and clays. The depth of basement rock is estimated to be on the order of 700 feet below grade.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
We performed a subsurface exploration and field testing program to identify the subsurface stratigraphy underlying the site and to evaluate the geotechnical properties of the materials encountered. This program consisted of soil test borings. Exploration methods used are discussed below. The appendices contain the results of our exploration.
Subsurface Exploration Methods
Test Borings
Schnabel’s subcontractor, Tri-State Drilling, Garden City, NY drilled twelve (12) test borings under our observation between January 15 and 17, 2019. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was performed at selected depths in the borings.
Borings B-1 through B-11 were drilled with a 7822 DT Geoprobe. The SPT samples were obtained using a hydraulically driven automatic trip hammer (ATH). Most correlations with SPT data are based on N-values collected with a safety hammer. The energy applied to the split-spoon sampler using the ATH is
February 21, 2019 Page 4 Schnabel Engineering, LLC about 33 percent greater than that applied using the safety hammer, resulting in lower N-values. The hammer blows shown on the boring logs are uncorrected for the higher energy. However, we correct SPT N values for the higher energy when using N values in our analyses.
During drilling we encountered a concrete slab slab/obstruction at a depth of about 7.5 feet in the area of Borings B-1 and B-2 (see Figure 2). After offsetting four (4) times with the same depths to top of concrete and coring partially into the concrete about three (3) feet, indicating the concrete encountered is thicker than three (3) feet. We moved further north to Boring B-2A, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, (between two storm sewer lines) and did not encounter any existing concrete. During drilling of B-2A we encountered contaminated soil (petroleum based odor) to a depth of 32 feet below surface grade.
Appendix A includes specific observations, remarks, and logs for the borings; classification criteria; drilling methods; and sampling protocols. Figures 1 and 2, included at the end of this report, indicates the approximate test boring locations. We will retain soil samples up to 45 days beyond the issuance of this report, unless you request other disposition.
In-situ Infiltration Testing
In-situ infiltration tests were performed at the planned bottom of infiltration basin grades at six (6) additional locations across the site and adjacent to the test borings to assess the ability of site soil to absorb storm water flows. The Infiltration Test locations are shown on Figure 1.
The field infiltration tests were performed as follows: a 4-inch diameter PVC pipe was inserted into the augered hole to a depth of four feet below existing grades and was filled with two feet of water. The drop in water depth within the pipe over an hour of time was then recorded and continued to be recorded for a total of four (4) consecutive hour readings. Testing resulted in moderately high infiltration rates of 14.6 to
22.2 inches per hour. This infiltration rate is anticipated to be representative of the soils at the planned site.
In addition, samples of the material were collected at the infiltration test depths, and laboratory classification testing was conducted on the samples to aid in assessing the infiltration capabilities of the on-site soils.
Soil Laboratory Testing
Our laboratory performed tests on selected samples collected during the subsurface exploration. The testing aided in the classification of materials encountered in the subsurface exploration and provided data for use in the development of recommendations for design of foundations, earthwork, and pavements.
The results of the laboratory tests are included in Appendix B and are summarized in the Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions section of this report. Selected test results are also shown on the boring logs in Appendix A. The on-site soils consist predominantly of Poorly Graded Sands (SP), Poorly Graded Sands with Silt (SP-SM), and Silty Sands (SM).
Index Testing
We performed index testing on samples collected as part of the exploration to provide soil classifications and to provide parameters for use with published correlations with soil properties. Index testing included
February 21, 2019 Page 5 Schnabel Engineering, LLC performing natural moisture content, Atterberg Limit, and gradation tests on recovered Standard Penetration Test samples.
Compaction and CBR Testing
We performed Modified Proctor compaction and CBR testing on one bulk soil sample representing the anticipated pavement subgrade soils to evaluate compaction characteristics and to provide soil parameters for pavement design. The test results are included in Appendix B.
Site Geology and Subsurface Conditions
Site Geology
During our exploration, we encountered the following stratigraphy:
Generalized Subsurface Stratigraphy
We characterized the following generalized subsurface soil stratigraphy based on the exploration and laboratory test data included in the appendices.
Type Test Depth (ft) Description
STRATUM A
(FILL)
In Borings B-1 through B-10, below surface grade to a depth of
7.5 feet.
Silty Sand; (SPT N-value generally 4 to > 50 bpf)
STRATUM B
(ALLUVIUM)
From the ground surface or below Stratum A to maximum depths of penetration, 10 to 40 feet.
Poorly Graded Sand (SP); (SPT N-value generally 8 to > 50 bpf)
The Existing Fill soils of Stratum A are likely associated with previous grading for the now-existing development and/or with placement of new utilities. The underlying natural soils are alluvial deposits.
Groundwater
Groundwater was generally encountered at depths of approximately 7 to 10 feet below ground surface.
Since mud rotary drilling techniques were used to advance the deeper borings, no long-term groundwater level readings were obtained.
The groundwater levels on the logs indicate our estimate of the hydrostatic water table at the time of our subsurface exploration. The final design should anticipate the fluctuation of the hydrostatic water table depending on variations in precipitation, surface runoff, pumping, evaporation, leaking utilities, tidal action and similar factors.
Based on our groundwater observations, we do not expect groundwater levels to have a major impact on the proposed construction.
February 21, 2019 Page 6 Schnabel Engineering, LLC
Seismic Site Classification
Based on our review of the borings and geologic data, the soils encountered at the site are representative of Site Class D, or a Stiff Soil Profile. Based on UFC 3-301-01 (with 9-12-2016 changes) the seismic values of Ss = 0.27g and S1=0.07g are recommend for structural design.
GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
We based our geotechnical engineering analysis on the information developed from our subsurface exploration and soil laboratory testing, along with the project development plans, site plans, and similar data furnished to our office. The following sections of the report provide our detailed recommendations.
Compacted Fill
The non-organic on-site soils are considered suitable for use as compacted structural fill and backfill, provided they can be adequately compacted. Compacted structural fill should be placed in maximum 8-inch thick horizontal, loose lifts. Fill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density per ASTM D1557 (Modified Proctor). Soil moisture contents at the time of compaction should be within three (3) percent of the soils' optimum moisture content.
Backfill placed in excavations, trenches, and other areas that large compaction equipment cannot access should be placed in maximum 6-inch thick lifts. Backfill should meet the material, placement, and compaction requirements outlined above.
Shallow Footings
Based on our review and evaluation, we consider shallow foundations are suitable for support of the proposed firewater tank.
We assumed the tank could be as high as 40 feet. Considering that height, a 30 ft diameter would be needed to be able to contain 200,000 gallons. The 40 ft tank height would result in a contact pressure of about 2500 psf on a base slab. We typically consider loading on the ringwall foundation to be about 10% higher, or about 2,750 psf.
Tank slab and ringwall foundations may be sized for their distributed contact loadings and a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf. The ringwall would typically be at least 18” wide for shear considerations. Total tank settlements are estimated to be less than 1.5 inches, and differential settlement between edges and center of tank is expected to be about half the total settlement.
The on-site Existing Fill and natural soils are generally suitable for firewater tank support, provided they are adequately prepared as described herein. However, due to the unknowns about the concrete slab/vault and the presence of petroleum contaminated soils, we recommend that an alternate location for the firewater tank be identified, possibly north of Boring B-2A.
Based on UFC 3-301-01 (with 9-12-2016 changes), there is minimal frost depth in this area. However, we recommend exterior footing grades be set at least 16 inches below grade for bearing capacity/shear considerations as well as providing protective embedment.
February 21, 2019 Page 7 Schnabel Engineering, LLC
Pavements
Based on the boring data, the pavement subgrade soils are expected to predominantly consist of Silty Sands and Poorly Graded Sands. Based on our evaluation of the laboratory classification data, the on-site soils exhibited a soaked CBR (California Bearing Ratio) values of 11.5 when properly compacted. A modulus of subgrade reaction of 200 pci may be used for design of rigid slabs on-grade.
The Pavement section design was based in accordance with the Army Corps design criteria using the Pavement Design and Evaluation Software PCASE 2.09 and considering a 25-year design life.
Per our PCASE analysis, we recommend the following non-reinforced rigid pavement section:
Type Section Depth of Layer (inches)
POV Parking
4,000 psi Concrete, NYDOT 6.0
On-site Soils Compacted to at least 95% of ASTM D1557 6.0
The Contractor should prepare pavement subgrades and place compacted structural fill for pavement support as described in the Site Grading and Earthwork section of this report. Final pavement subgrades should be proofrolled under the observation of the Geotechnical Engineer immediately prior to placing concrete to evaluate their suitability to support the pavement.
CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Site Grading and Earthwork
Traffic on stripped or undercut subgrades should be limited to reduce disturbance of underlying soils.
Also, using lightweight, track-mounted dozer equipment for stripping will limit the disturbance of underlying soils, and may reduce the undercut volume needed. The Contractor should provide site drainage to maintain subgrades free of water and to avoid saturation and disturbance of the subgrade soils before placing compacted structural fill, pavement base course or moisture barrier material. This site drainage will be important during all phases of the construction work. The Contractor should be responsible for reworking of subgrades and compacted structural fill that were initially considered suitable but were later disturbed by equipment and/or weather.
Foundations
The Contractor should exercise care during excavation for spread and strip footings so that as little disturbance as possible occurs at the foundation level. The Contractor should carefully clean loose or soft soils from the bottom of the excavation before placing concrete. A Geotechnical Engineer should observe footing subgrades prior to concrete placement to evaluate whether subgrade soils are as anticipated in this report.
Footing excavations should be evaluated to determine that subsurface materials capable of supporting the recommended design bearing pressures are present at and immediately below the bearing level. We
February 21, 2019 Page 8 Schnabel Engineering, LLC recommend that the bearing strata at the bottom of and below the footing excavations in fill areas be checked with a dynamic cone penetrometer. Footing evaluations should be performed prior to reinforcement and concrete placement. If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered, these soils will need to be recompacted in place, removed and replaced with properly compacted fill, or foundations deepened, to achieve suitable bearing.
Footing bearing surfaces should be free of debris, loose materials, protruding rocks and objects. Foundation bearing surface evaluations should be performed and concrete placed as quickly as possible after the footings are excavated.
Engineering Services During Construction
The engineering recommendations provided in this report are based on the information obtained from the subsurface exploration and laboratory testing. However, conditions on the site may vary between the discrete locations observed at the time of our subsurface exploration. The nature and extent of variations between borings may not become evident until during construction.
To account for this variability, we should provide professional observation and testing of subsurface conditions revealed during construction as an extension of our engineering services. These services will also help in evaluating the contractor's conformance with the plans and specifications in accordance with building code requirements. Because of our unique position to understand the intent of the geotechnical engineering recommendations, retaining Schnabel for these services will allow the owner to receive consistent service throughout the project construction.
General Specification Recommendations
An allowance should be established to account for possible additional costs that may be required to construct earthwork and foundations as recommended in this report. Additional costs may be incurred for a variety of reasons including variation of soil between borings, wet on-site soils, obstructions, etc.
The project specifications should indicate the Contractor's responsibility for providing adequate site drainage during construction. Inadequate drainage will most likely lead to disturbance of soils by construction traffic and increased volume of undercut.
This report may be made available to prospective bidders for informational purposes. We recommend that the project specifications contain the following statement:

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROCEDURES
Test Borings – Mud Rotary
Drillers advanced the borings using mud rotary drilling techniques. The boring is advanced with a drill string consisting of a 3⅞-inch diameter tri-cone roller bit attached to A-sized drilled rods. Bentonite drilling fluid is pumped through the drill rods to flush cuttings to the surface. The borehole remains full of drilling fluid to maintain the sides of the borehole. At the designated depth, the drillers removed the drill string and performed the Standard Penetration Test (SPT). Water level data is indicated on the logs.
Standard Penetration Test Results
The numbers in the Sampling Data column of the boring logs represent Standard Penetration Test (SPT) results. Each number represents the blows needed to drive a 2-inch O.D., 1⅜-inch I.D. split-spoon sampler 6 inches, using a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The sampler is typically driven a total of 18 or 24 inches. The first 6 inches are considered a seating interval. The total of the number of blows for the second and third 6-inch intervals is the SPT “N value.” The SPT is performed according to ASTM D1586.
The SPT samples were obtained using a hydraulically driven automatic trip hammer (ATH). Most correlations with SPT data are based on N-values collected with a safety hammer. The energy applied to the split-spoon sampler using the ATH is about 33 percent greater than that applied using the safety hammer, resulting in lower N-values. The hammer blows shown on the boring logs are uncorrected for the higher energy. However, we correct SPT N values for the higher energy when using N values in our analyses.
Soil Classification Criteria
The group symbols on the logs represent the Unified Soil Classification System Group Symbols (ASTM D2487) based on visual observation and limited laboratory testing of the samples. Criteria for visual identification of soil samples are included in this appendix. Some variation can be expected between samples visually classified and samples classified in the laboratory.
Boring Locations and Elevations
Boring locations were staked by Schnabel Engineering using existing site features approximate boring locations are shown on Figures 1 and 2. Ground surface elevations at the boring locations were provided by the site topographic plan and are indicated on the boring logs. Locations and elevations should be considered no more accurate than the methods used to determine them.
GENERAL NOTES FOR
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION LOGS
1. Numbers in sampling data column next to Standard Penetration Test (SPT) symbols indicate blows required to drive a 2-inch O.D., 1⅜-inch I.D. sampling spoon 6 inches using a 140 pound hammer falling 30 inches. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N value is the number of blows required to drive the sampler 12 inches, after a 6 inch seating interval. The Standard Penetration Test is performed in general accordance with ASTM D1586.
2. Visual classification of soil is in accordance with terminology set forth in “Identification of Soil.”
The ASTM D2487 group symbols (e.g., CL) shown in the classification column are based on visual observations.
3. Estimated water levels indicated on the logs are only estimates from available data and may vary with precipitation, porosity of the soil, site topography, and other factors.
4. Refusal at the surface of rock, boulder, or other obstruction is defined as an SPT resistance of 50 blows for 1 inch or less of penetration.
5. The logs and related information depict subsurface conditions only at the specific locations and at the particular time when drilled or excavated. Soil conditions at other locations may differ from conditions occurring at these locations. Also, the passage of time may result in a change in the subsurface soil and water level conditions at the subsurface exploration location.
6. The stratification lines represent the approximate boundary between soil and rock types as obtained from the subsurface exploration. Some variation may also be expected vertically between samples taken. The soil profile, water level observations and penetration resistances presented on these logs have been made with reasonable care and accuracy and must be considered only an approximate representation of subsurface conditions to be encountered at the particular location.
