2. REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The site is located in the Raleigh Belt Region of the Piedmont Physiographic Province.
Parent rock materials in the area of the site primarily consist of metamorphosed granite,
gneiss and schist. Specifically, the project site is underlain by injected biotite gneiss and
schist. Within upland areas, natural soils within the Piedmont Province are the residual
product of chemical and physical weathering of parent rock materials. The typical
residual profile consists of finer grained silts and clays near the surface which gradually
transition to coarser and denser material with depth.
In many locations, the transitional zone between soil and rock is not well defined.
Locally, the transitional zone is termed partially weathered rock (PWR). For engineering
purposes, partially weathered rock is considered as residual material in which standard
penetration test N-values exceed 100 blows/ft. The profile and thickness of the partially
weathered rock and hard rock is quite irregular and erratic, even over short horizontal
distances.
3. EXPLORATION PROGRAM
The field exploration program consisted of performing 7 soil test borings at locations
selected by Overcash Demmitt Architects. Based on the provided Street Level Plan by
Overcash Demmitt, dated 03-09-2012, two borings are within the hotel tower footprint,
three are within the podium footprint, and two within the access “drop off” drive. The
approximate boring locations are shown on the attached Figure 1, Boring Location Plan.
The borings were performed from August 18 through August 21, 2014. All borings were
drilled using either a CME 550 drill rig mounted on an all-terrain vehicle. The borings
were advanced using wash boring methods with a 215/16 -inch tri-cone roller bit to depths
of about 60 to 74 ft below the existing ground surface. Split-spoon soil samples were
1 S&ME
Geotechnical Engineering Report S&ME Project No. 1305-14-082
Salisbury Street Hotel September 12, 2014
Raleigh, North Carolina
taken at approximate 2½-ft intervals above a depth of 10 ft and then at 5-ft intervals below
10 ft. Standard penetration tests were conducted using a hydraulic automatic hammer in
conjunction with split-spoon sampling in general accordance with ASTM D1586.
Water levels were measured after a minimum 24-hour waiting period in completed borings
B-1 through B-5. After completion of the exploration program, collected soil samples
were returned to our laboratory for visual classification in general accordance with
Unified Soil Classification System guidelines. All borings were backfilled with drill
cuttings and closed in accordance with our standard borehole closure protocol.
Boring logs containing soil descriptions, SPT N-values, and observed water levels are
included in Appendix A. Ground surface elevations shown on the boring logs were
interpolated from the provided topographic survey drawing by Cawthorne, Moss, and
Panciera, P.C. and should be considered approximate. Stratification lines shown on
boring logs are intended to represent approximate depths of changes in soil types.
Naturally, transitional changes in soil types are often gradual and cannot be defined at
particular depths.
4. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The general subsurface profile consists of a pavement section overlying a surficial layer
of fill materials underlain by natural residual silts, followed by partially weathered rock.
Descriptions of each subsurface stratum are given below in the order of increasing depth.
Graphical depictions of each test boring are shown in Figure 2, Generalized Borehole
Profiles.

Geotechnical Engineering Report S&ME Project No. 1305-14-082
Salisbury Street Hotel September 12, 2014
Raleigh, North Carolina
In general, N-values (and density) increased with increasing depth. The upper 40 to 50 ft
of the stratum is medium dense silty sand with standard penetration test N-values ranging
from 7 to 24 blows/ft. Below a depth of 40 to 50 ft, the sands transition to a dense to
very dense material with N-values of 32 to 77 blows/ft. The natural sandy soils appeared
dry to moist at time of sampling.
The spatial variability in the residual soils, thickness, color, consistency/density, etc.
results from the differing minerals present at a particular location and the weathering
characteristics of those minerals (i.e. chemical alteration and time-rate of weathering).
The PWR was typically sampled as dry to moist silty fine to coarse sand (SM). SPT N-
values in PWR ranged from 50 blows for 6 inches of split spoon penetration (50/6″) to 50
blows per 2 inches of penetration (50/3″). Auger and split spoon refusal (50/0″) was
encountered in test boring B-2. All other borings were terminated after penetrating two
split spoon drives into the PWR.

Figure 3 presents estimates of allowable resistances for 14, 16, and 18-inch diameter
auger cast-in-place piles over a range of embedment depths. For this project, in order to
achieve a 100-ton axial resistance, pile embedment lengths of 50 to 65 ft into PWR are
anticipated for drilled piles. The embedment length is influenced by the pile diameter
and design load selected.
The drill-head gear-box used for ACIP pile installation should have a torque capable of
penetrating into the dense silty sand and PWR at total depths of 60 to 70 ft. During pile
installation it is likely that auger refusal will occur, depending on the embedment length
necessary to achieve the design pile resistance selected by the structural engineer. Piles
that encounter auger refusal at depths of 55 to 65 ft can likely achieve allowable
resistances of 100 tons due to the end bearing available in the PWR. Auger refusal into
the PWR is usually achieved at roughly 3 to 5 ft of penetration into the PWR and is
typically defined as less than 1 ft of auger penetration in 1 minute of drilling under the
full weight of the auger drill string. Load testing of a pile installed to auger refusal will
allow for confirmation of the pile resistance.
Immediate and post-construction settlements of 100-ton ACIP piles are estimated to less
than about 0.5 inch and 0.25 inch, respectively. Differential settlement is anticipated to
4 S&ME
Geotechnical Engineering Report S&ME Project No. 1305-14-082
Salisbury Street Hotel September 12, 2014
Raleigh, North Carolina
be less than about 0.5 inch. Pile installation is assumed to occur after completion of
earthwork activities and the building pad has been brought to final grade. Little fill is
anticipated and will not influence pile capacities or settlements. As such, foundation
construction may begin immediately after the completion of fill placement.
Per Table 1810.3.2.6 of the 2012 North Carolina Building Code, the compressive stresses
in PCC piles cannot exceed 33% of the concrete’s 28-day compressive strength and 40%
of the reinforcing steel’s yield strength. The pile caps are anticipated to be in full contact
with the ground. Therefore, there is no need to adjust individual pile resistances to
account for group effects under static axial loading. The pile group efficiency can be
taken as 1.0 for pile center-to-center spacing of more than 2.5 pile diameters. This
applies to both compression and tension piles.
Per Table 1810.3.2.6 of the 2012 North Carolina Building Code, the compressive stresses
in H-piles cannot exceed 35% of the steel’s yield strength (Fy). If load tested, the
allowable stress can be increased to 50% of Fy. Driven piles should have a center-to-
center spacing of at least 2.5 times the pile diameter. The pile caps will be in full contact
with the ground. Therefore, there is no need to adjust individual pile resistances to
account for group effects under static axial loading. The pile group efficiency can be
taken as 1.0 for pile center-to-center spacing of at least 2.5 pile diameters.
Piles should be driven using a hammer having sufficient energy to drive the piles to the
recommended embedment depth and capacities. After selection of a pile installation
contractor, we recommend the contractor submit the specification data of the hammer
that will be used to drive the piles for our review. The hammer and pile system will then
be analyzed using a “wave equation” program to determine the suitability of the hammer
for its intended purpose. Driving criteria will also be established by a wave equation
analysis.

Because of the presence of PWR lenses within the overburden soils and variable depth to
the top of the PWR, installation of driven concrete or steel H-piles could be problematic.
Capacities that could be achieved by embedding piles into the PWR would result in pile
lengths that would vary significantly. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to
accurately predict pile lengths required to reach PWR at specific cap locations. It is
important to note that the borings revealed that the depth to PWR varied from about 55 ft
to 67 ft. The PWR elevation difference could result in significant waste (i.e. stickup after
driving) of concrete and H-piles. Conversely, auger cast piles can be installed to variable
lengths without excessive waste of materials. They also develop higher shaft resistances
than driven piles, allowing higher pile capacities at shorter lengths than compared to
driven piles.
Prior to load testing, the contractor should install indicator piles across the foundation
areas to familiarize himself with the subsurface conditions and finalize equipment set up.
The indicator piles will be useful in estimating production pile lengths and selection of
the load test pile.
The test piles should be loaded to 200% of the proposed design capacity. For the
compression tests, if the test load is successfully sustained then the test load should
continue to be incrementally increased until pile failure or 300% of the pile design
capacity is reached. For the ACIP piles, strain gages should be installed along the length
of the compression test pile to measure how load is shed along the pile shafts and how
much reaches the end of the pile. Using the strain gage data, an efficient pile length can
be selected that carries the design load. If pile resistances less than 100 tons is desired,
then a shorter pile length can be selected based on the strain gage data collected during
the load test. The production pile criteria (design load and minimum embedment) will be

the same means and methods as the tested piles.

Where pile spacing is less than 6 pile diameters (i.e. 8 ft for 16-inch diameter ACIP
piles), p-modifier values should be included to account for pile group effects under

Lighter portions of the proposed hotel building (i.e. canopies, etc.) can be supported on
shallow foundations bearing in the existing residual soils or newly compacted fill. Figure
4 present column load vs. settlement for various column loads and net allowable bearing
pressures. As shown in Figure 3, footings supporting column loads of up to 225 kips can
be designed using a net allowable bearing pressure of up to 1.5 ksf. Lighter column loads
could be sized using higher bearing pressures.
The on-site bearing soils will be susceptible to softening and strength loss if water is
allowed to penetrate these materials. Therefore, rainwater must be prevented from
wetting or ponding on exposed subgrade surfaces. Foundation excavation and placement
of concrete should be conducted on the same day, if practical. If placement of the
foundation concrete is to be delayed, a lean concrete mud mat should be placed on
exposed bearing soils. Any wet or softened subgrade soils must be removed prior to
concrete placement.
In order to provide proper frost protection and develop the recommended bearing
capacity, the foundation elements should bear at least 18 inches below final grades.
Continuous wall footings should be at least 18 inches wide and individual column
footings should be at least 24 inches wide to help prevent localized or “punching” shear
failure which can occur with very narrow footings. These dimensions also help facilitate
cleaning and preparation of footing bottoms and placement of reinforcing steel.

Based on the parameters given above, fixed below-grade walls that are not allowed to
rotate (at-rest condition) should be designed using a triangular earth pressure distribution
having an equivalent fluid weight of 60 pcf per foot of wall height, assuming full wall
drainage is provided. For walls that will be allowed to rotate (i.e. retaining walls), then
the equivalent fluid weight would be 40 pcf. Retaining walls should have adequate factors
of safety against overturning, sliding, and global failure. The structural engineer should
select the appropriate loading condition based on the below-grade wall configuration.
Only frictional resistance should be applied along the base of the wall, no adhesion
should be considered. Lateral pressures from any surcharge loads (traffic, adjacent
foundation elements) should be added as a uniform rectangular soil pressure equal to
50% the vertical pressure applied over the full height of the wall.
The lateral earth pressure distribution presented above assumes no wall friction between
the wall and soil backfill (δ = 0 degrees), the backfill is level and has been properly
placed and compacted, and that water is not allowed to accumulate behind foundation
walls. Exterior grades should promote rapid drainage away from the structure. Although
groundwater is well below the design subgrade elevations, free draining clean stone
backfill (such as NCDOT No. 57) should be placed against the wall exterior and isolated
from backfill soil with a non-woven geotextile. Alternatively, a prefabricated drainage
panel could be applied to the exterior face of the below-grade walls to prevent the
buildup of hydrostatic pressures (utility break, long rainfall event, etc.). The wall drain
should be connected to a pipe that allows any collected water to drain away from the
wall.
Backfill soils placed behind below-grade walls should be granular and compacted to at
least 95% of the soil’s standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D698) and from at
the optimum water content to 3% above optimum. Operating heavy compaction
equipment within 5 ft of the walls can create lateral earth pressures in excess of those
recommended for design. As such, hand-operated equipment should be used within 5 ft
of below-grade walls. Bracing of the walls may be needed during backfilling operations.

Exposure to the environment and construction activities could soften the near surface
silty subgrade soils, deteriorating their stability. A 4-inch thick layer of crushed
aggregate base course (ABC) should be placed and compacted to 95% of its modified
Proctor maximum dry density beneath all slabs-on-grade to provide more uniform slab
support and to reduce damage to subgrade soils during construction. Subgrade soils in
slab-on-grade areas should be evaluated by S&ME prior to crushed stone placement. If
deterioration of the soils has occurred, repair of the subgrade will be necessary.
7. CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations for subgrade preparation, backfill and compaction, and construction
quality control are presented in the sections below.
10 S&ME
Geotechnical Engineering Report S&ME Project No. 1305-14-082
Salisbury Street Hotel September 12, 2014
Raleigh, North Carolina
Site preparation should begin with removal of the asphalt pavement section and concrete.
The perimeter landscaping (trees, vegetation, etc.) should be removed if in the footprint
of any portion of the development.
Possible repair measures could include undercutting to stable soils and backfilling with
well-compacted low-plasticity materials (either on-site or off-site borrow), discing of wet
in-situ soils to dry to proper moisture content and then re-compacting, placement of a
geotextile stabilization fabric on unsuitable materials and placement of crushed stone, or
some combination of these. The most practical repair measure will be influenced by the
degree of instability which exists, groundwater levels, and weather conditions. As such,
actual repair measures must be determined in the field at time of construction.
The near surface soils are moisture sensitive. In a wet of optimum condition, these soils
will tend to rut and pump under rubber-tired traffic and provide poor subgrade support for
foundations and pavements. Site grading will be difficult during periods of extended
rainfall that generally occur during the typically wetter winter months. To reduce
potential earthwork problems, site preparation and grading should be scheduled during
the drier summer months, if possible. If winter grading is attempted, repair of near
surface soils and possibly use of select off-site borrow will be necessary to prepare
subgrades adequately for new construction. Even during drier periods of the year, we
recommend that the exposed subgrade be sloped and “sealed” at the end of each day to
promote positive stormwater runoff and reduce infiltration from rainfall.

Imported fill should be of low plasticity (PI<20 and LL<50), have low corrosive
potential, be free of debris and other deleterious materials, and should have a maximum
particle size no greater than 3 inches. The water contents of imported materials should be
within 3% of the standard Proctor optimum water content. The contractor should submit
samples of proposed imported fill material for evaluation by S&ME during construction.
In-place density testing should be performed during fill placement to confirm that the
recommended degree of compaction is achieved. To achieve the desired engineering
properties (strength and stability) of compacted fill, it is important that the soil’s water
content be properly controlled during fill placement and compaction. As previously
noted herein, the water condition of exposed subgrade soils will be influenced by
prevailing weather conditions.

drilling conditions (soil materials returned in cuttings and water), reinforcing cage, grout
take, flow, and strength, and time of installation. Quality control during pile construction
will be critical to the success of the project. Prior to any foundation work, the contractor
should submit his shop drawings for the deep foundation design, including pile materials,
equipment, and drilling procedures.
S&ME would welcome the opportunity to provide geotechnical engineering and material
testing services during construction of this project. This arrangement provides the
continuity between design and construction that is important to verify recommendations
are followed, soil and groundwater conditions are consistent with those presented in this
report and to make sound field engineering decisions based on the knowledge gained
from this exploration.
8. QUALIFICATIONS OF REPORT
This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted engineering practice
for specific application to this project. Any wetland, environmental, or contaminant
assessment efforts are beyond the scope of this geotechnical exploration; and therefore,
those issues are not addressed in this report. The conclusions and recommendations
contained in this report are based on the applicable standards of our profession at the time
this report was prepared. No other warranty, express or implied, is made.
Conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based, in part, upon the
data obtained from the geotechnical exploration. The nature and extent of variations
between and beyond the specific exploration locations (SPT borings) may not become
evident until discovered during construction. If variations appear evident, then it will be
necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report. In the event that any
changes in the nature or design of the proposed structures are planned, the conclusions
and recommendations contained in this report should be reviewed and conclusions of this
report modified or verified in writing.
S&ME should be provided the opportunity to review the final design plans and
specifications in order that earthwork and other recommendations are properly interpreted
and implemented. The recommendations in this report are contingent on S&ME’s
observation and monitoring of earthwork and foundation construction activities.
