Observations/Finding

As requested, a ASEC technician was present at the above referenced site for the purpose of conducting a slab on grade and perimeter footing inspection and bearing testing for lot #106

Slab appears to consist of #4 rebar rested on 3″ rod chairs spaced at approximately six 6″ inches on center. The bottom of the slab is covered with continuous poly vapor barrier lapping which wire mesh placed one 1″ from the bottom of slab. Slab preparations appear to be in accordance with the plans. The footing evaluation was performed by visual inspection, hand probing and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing.

During the evaluation, well compacted fill soils were encountered underlain by residual soils. These soils were found to be capable of supporting the building structure utilizing an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. The footings are the proper depth and width and have been prepared in accordance with IRC 2012 and the Georgia Amendments. Lot #106 is ready for concrete placement.

18 inches of soil were removed from the bottom of the footings and replaced with 18 inches of #57 stone. The bottom of the footing was compacted with a trench roller and then the stone was compacted as it was placed in the footing. A layer of fabric was placed on the bottom and sides of the footing before the stone to wrap it.

The superintendent has been notified of these findings.
