Project No. 9929.G Geotechnical Investigation/Vineyard Avenue, Pleasanton 8 August 2003 <br />LABORATORY INVESTIGATION <br />The laboratory testing program was directed towards providing sufficient information for the <br />determination of the engineering characteristics of the site soils so that the recommendations <br />outlined in this report could be formulated. <br />Moisture content and dry density tests (ASTM D2937-83) were performed on representative <br />relatively undisturbed soil samples in order to determine the consistency of the soil and the <br />moisture variation throughout the explored soil profile as well as estimate the compressibility of <br />the underlying soils. <br />Field penetration resistance (1~ assisted in the determination of the strength parameters of the <br />soils. The standard penetration resistance's are recorded on the respective "Exploratory Boring <br />Logs." <br />The expansion characteristics of the near-surface soils were evaluated by means of Atterberg <br />Limits tests performed in accordance with ASTM D4318. <br />A summary of all laboratory test results is presented on TABLE I of this appendix and on the <br />respective "Exploratory Boring Logs", Appendix A. <br />TERRASEARC$ inc.
