Observations/Finding

As requested, an ASEC technician was present at the above-referenced site to conduct a slab on grade and perimeter slab footing inspection for Lot #78.

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

During the evaluation, the following issues were observed;  rebar on the northside of the lot was below two inches which is not compliant; furthermore, wire mesh was missing shoes in some places.  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 2,500 psf. The footings are the proper depth and width and have been prepared in accordance with IRC 2012 and the Georgia Amendments.  Once the above issues are resolved; Lot #78 will be ready for concrete placement.

See attached DCP/Boring Sheet for complete data and photos.

The superintendent has been notified of these findings.
