Foundation Pad, West Addition St. Lucie county, FL
Density tests and Hand Cone Penetrometer (HCP) readings were made from slab grade through the
depth of fill at a minimum of three locations in the building pad. The density tests were performed in
general compliance with ASTM D 6938. The HCP test, in conjunction with information about the soil
type, is empirically correlated to the relative density of subsurface soils.

* Elevations are below bottom of slab.
The depth of the fill was approximately one foot. The fill should extend at least five feet beyond the
building perimeter. At the time of our testing no information was available regarding the foundation pad
setbacks.
In the locations and depths that were tested, the soil has been compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the
modified Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 1557). No soil borings were performed below the
recently placed fill.
