6 1.0 INTRODUCTION Dyregrov Robinson Inc. (DRI) has undertaken a geotechnical investigation for the proposed addition to the Maples Community Centre (MCC) which is located at 434 Adsum Drive in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the subsurface conditions to provide recommendations for foundation design and other geotechnically related aspects of the development. The work was authorized by Mr. Eric Dearscey, MCC Complex Manager, on October 16 th, PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT We understand that the proposed new addition will be an indoor soccer complex. The complex will consist of a two-storey masonry building and a long span engineered steel building. The two-storey masonry building will have a steel structure, structural floor, and a partial basement. The complex will be attached to the east and north east sides of the existing Maples Recreation Association Rink as illustrated on Figure 1. We understand that the approximate maximum factored point loads are estimated at 300 kn for the masonry building and 600 kn for the long span steel building. It is also understood that the existing Community Centre will be demolished to facilitate construction of the new indoor soccer complex. 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS The area of the proposed development is located in Adsum Park. The park consists of a multi-sport playing field comprised of soccer fields, basketball courts, outdoor hockey rinks, a baseball diamond, and a playground area. The Maples Recreation Association Rink, the existing Community Centre, and the Seven Oaks Pool are located in the park. The Maples Collegiate is located directly east of the park. The proposed indoor soccer complex will be located over portions of existing asphalt paved parking lot and access roads and the grass covered field south of the Maples Recreation Association Rink and the existing Community Centre. MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 1

7 4.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION Three test holes were drilled on November 8 th, 2013 at the locations shown on Figure 1. The test holes were drilled by Subterranean (Manitoba) Ltd. using a truck-mounted Soilmec STM-20 drill rig equipped with a 400 mm diameter auger. The test holes were drilled to auger refusal which occurred at depths ranging between 16.5 and 16.7 m below the existing site grade. The subsurface conditions, including the soil profile, groundwater seepage and sloughing conditions, were logged by DRI during drilling of the test holes. Both disturbed (auger cuttings) and relatively undisturbed (Shelby tube) samples were recovered at regular intervals. The test holes were backfilled to grade with auger cuttings. All soil samples were taken to our Soils Testing Laboratory for additional visual classification and testing. The testing consisted of the determination of moisture contents on all samples and measurement of bulk unit weights and undrained shear strengths on the Shelby tube samples. The soil profile, laboratory test results and drilling observations are included on the test hole logs attached in Appendix A. MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 2

8 5.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The general soil stratigraphy encountered from site grade generally consists of clay topsoil overlying layers of clay and silt and deposits of silty clay and glacial silt till. 5.1 Clay Topsoil and Fill A layer of clay topsoil was encountered at the ground surface in all test holes and it ranges in thickness between 75 and 100 mm. The clay topsoil is silty, black in color, dry, and contains trace organics. In Test Holes 1 and 2, a sand and gravel fill layer was encountered below the topsoil. It is about 300 mm thick, brown in color and dry. The moisture content of the sand and gravel fill ranges between 8 and 14 percent. 5.2 Clay A thin clay layer was encountered below the topsoil or the sand and gravel fill layer. It is 0.2 m thick in Test Hole 3 and about 1 m thick in Test Holes 1 and 2. The clay is silty, brown in color, stiff, dry to moist, and of high plasticity. The moisture content of the clay is around 32 percent. 5.3 Silt A silt layer was encountered in all test holes below the clay layer at depths ranging between 0.3 and 1.5 m below ground surface. The silt is about 1 m thick in Test Holes 1 and 2 and 2.7 m thick in Test Hole 3. It is brown in color, loose, moist to wet, and contains traces of clay and sand. The moisture content is around 22 percent. 5.4 Silty Clay Lake Agassiz lacustrine silty clay was encountered below the silt layer at a depth of 2.4 m in Test Holes 1 and 2 and at a depth of 3 m in Test Hole 3. The silty clay is about 11 m thick and extends to depths of about 13 to 14 m below ground surface. The silty clay is mottled brown and grey in color and moist to about 5 m below which it is grey and wet. The clay has high plasticity and a firm to stiff consistency becoming firm below a depth of about 7 m. The undrained shear strengths range from about 20 to 95 kpa with an average of around 45 kpa. The moisture content of the clay is generally in the range of 50 to 65 percent to a depth of 10 m below which it varies from about 40 to 70 percent. 5.5 Silt Till Glacial silt till was encountered beneath the silty clay at depths of about 13 to 14 m. The glacial till in Winnipeg is known to be a heterogeneous mixture of sand, gravel, cobble and boulder size materials in a silt and / or clay matrix. The glacial silt till encountered in the test holes contained trace to some clay, trace sand and trace gravel. Cobbles and boulders were also encountered in the test holes. The silt till is brown or grey in color, loose and moist to wet with moisture contents ranging from 10 to 16 percent. The MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 3

9 silt till extended to the depth of the test holes which were drilled to auger refusal. Auger refusal occurred at depths of 16.5 and 16.7 m below grade and is suspected to have occurred on bedrock or boulder(s). 5.6 Groundwater Conditions Minor amounts of groundwater seepage and sloughing of the silt layer were observed in all three test holes. Significant groundwater seepage from the glacial silt till layer occurred after drilling to depths of 14 m, 14.9 m and 16.5 m in Test Holes 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Upon completion of drilling, the water level in the test holes was measured at depths of 6.7 m, 9.0 m and 5.8 m below grade in Test Holes 1, 2 and3, respectively. The rate of seepage and the water level measured in the test holes suggests that limestone bedrock maybe present at or near the bottom of the test holes. Groundwater levels should be expected to vary seasonally, from year to year and possibly as a result of construction activities. MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 4

10 6.0 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 General We understand that the proposed new addition will be an indoor soccer complex. The complex will consist of a two-storey masonry building and a long span engineered steel building. The two-storey masonry building will have a steel structure, structural floor, and a partial basement. The complex will be attached to the east and north east sides of the existing Maples Recreation Association Rink as illustrated on Figure 1. We understand that the approximate maximum factored point loads are estimated at 300 kn for the masonry building and 600 kn for the long span steel building. It is also understood that the existing Community Centre will be demolished to facilitate construction of the new indoor soccer complex. 6.2 Foundations Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in the test holes and our understanding of the proposed development, both cast-in-place concrete friction piles and driven end bearing precast prestressed concrete hexagonal piles are considered to be feasible foundation alternatives Cast-in-Place Concrete Friction Piles Cast-in-place concrete friction piles can be designed in accordance to the current Manitoba Building Code using a service limit state (SLS) shaft adhesion value of 13.3 kpa and for the ultimate limit state (ULS) case the pile capacity can be evaluated using a factored shaft adhesion value of 16.0 kpa and a factored ULS end bearing pressure of 125 kpa. A resistance factor of 0.4 was used to calculate the ULS shaft adhesion and end bearing pressure. Under the SLS loads, the pile settlements are expected to be around 6 mm with differential settlements between piles around 3 to 6 mm. When determining effective pile lengths, the upper 3 m of the pile shaft below existing site grade and / or 1.5 m below the basement level, whichever is greater, should be ignored to account for the presence of fill and silt layers and the potential for clay shrinkage away from the pile. The piles should not extend deeper than 12 m below existing ground to avoid penetrating into the glacial till. Concrete should be placed as soon as possible after drilling. Piles should have a minimum spacing of 3 pile diameters on centre, including separations from the existing foundations of the Maples Recreation Association Rink. Where this spacing cannot be achieved DRI should be contacted for additional input. Small groups and pairs of friction piles can be considered for heavier column loads. Temporary steel sleeves should be on site and used where sloughing (caving) of the pile borings occur and / or if groundwater seepage is encountered. Piles that are subjected to freezing conditions must be protected from potential frost heave effects by using minimum pile lengths of 7.6 m and full length reinforcement. The use of flat lying rigid insulation, MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 5

11 such as Styrofoam HI, can also be used to prevent or minimize frost penetration into the soil around the piles if the minimum pile length cannot be achieved Precast Prestressed Hexagonal Concrete Piles Driven end bearing precast prestressed concrete hexagonal (PPCH) piles driven to practical refusal into the glacial silt till or on bedrock may be designed using the SLS and factored ULS pile capacities provided in Table 1. Under the SLS loads, pile settlements are expected to be around 6 mm with differential settlements between piles around 3 to 6 mm. The depth to practical refusal will likely vary across the site and may be deeper than indicated on the test hole logs. Some piles may be driven out of alignment and/or damaged during driving if boulders are present in the glacial till. Table 1: PPCH Pile Capacities Pile Capacities PPCH Unfactored Factored ULS Capacities Pile Size SLS ULS ϕ = 0.4 ϕ = 0.5 ϕ = 0.6 (mm) (kn) (kn) (kn) (kn) (kn) We recommend that a resistance factor of 0.6 be used for design provided that dynamic load testing with CAPWAP analysis is performed during foundation installation. Dynamic load testing will provide data on the driving energy delivered to the pile and the driving stresses (tensile and compressive) in the piles. The CAPWAP analysis will utilize the data collected to provide a mobilized static pile capacity that can be compared to the unfactored and factored ULS pile capacities. The details of the dynamic load testing program can be finalized once the foundation layout has been established. Approximately 2 percent of the piles should be tested during pile installation under restrike conditions however; the number of piles to be tested will depend on the size of the building area and the number and sizes of piles to be installed. The piles to be tested will need at least 1.2 m of pile shaft above local grade around the pile to facilitate the testing. The piles can be driven with diesel pile hammers having a rated energy of not less than 40 kilojoules. Hydraulic drop hammers can also be used provided they have a rated energy not less than 19.5 kilojoules. The rated energy for hydraulic drop hammers is less than for diesel hammers due to the high efficiency of this type of pile hammer. The driving stresses (compressive and tensile) in the piles should not exceed the limits specified by the pile manufacturer. The pile driving criteria should be confirmed once the type of pile hammer proposed for use on this project is provided. Conventionally, practical refusal has been defined as final penetration resistance sets of 5, 8 and 12 blows per 25 mm (or less) for the 300, 350 and 400 mm diameter pile sizes, respectively. At least three consecutive sets should be obtained for each pile. If followers are used, the final penetration resistance should be increased by 50 percent; that is, 8, 12 and 18 blows per 25 mm for 300, 350 and 400 mm diameter pile sizes, respectively. MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 6

12 Construction practice in Winnipeg normally includes preboring be done at driven pile locations. The prebore holes are usually drilled to diameters that are 50 mm larger than the pile size and to depths of about 3 m. Preboring is effective in reducing pile heave and contributes positively to pile verticality. Pile spacing for these piles should not be less than 2.5 pile diameters, centre to centre. No reduction in individual pile capacity is necessary for reasons related to group action provided that pile heave is monitored, measures are undertaken to minimize pile heave (i.e. preboring), and redriving is completed when pile heave greater than 6 mm is measured. Redriving of all piles in groups or clusters should be specified along with the requirement to monitor for pile heave. The existing Maples Recreation Association Rink may require additional consideration in regards to the installation of PPCH piles which can result in some ground vibrations and heave during installation. Piles installed near the adjacent rink may result in localized ground heave which could affect some of the existing nearby foundations, grade beams, and floor slabs. The amount of heave, if any, will be related to the clear distance between the new and existing foundations, the density of the new foundations, and the depth of prebore used for the new piles. The prebore depth can be reviewed during detailed design if there are concerns about the potential for ground heave. The existing building should be monitored for signs of heave during pile installation Foundation Inspection and Dynamic Testing Based on Sub-Sections Field Review and Altered Subsurface Condition (ref: NBC 2010 Section 4.2 Foundations) and as the Geotechnical Engineers of record for this project we recommend that the deep foundations be inspected on a full time basis by geotechnical personnel from our firm who are familiar with the subsurface conditions at this site, the foundation design considerations and the installation of major foundations. If driven PPCH piles are to be installed based on a resistance factor of 0.6, dynamic testing and CAPWAP analysis should be performed by DRI. 6.3 Pile Caps and Grade Beams A void separation of at least 200 mm should be provided under grade beams and pile caps. A vapour barrier should be provided below grade beams and pile caps to minimize the potential for long term moisture changes within the underlying clay soils. MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 7

13 6.4 Below Grade Walls Any permanent below grade walls which are required should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures that are derived on the basis of the following conventional relationship which produces a triangular pressure distribution: P = K D where P = lateral earth pressure at depth D (kpa) K = at rest earth pressure coefficient (0.5) = soil/backfill unit weight (17 kn/m³) D = depth from finished grade to point of pressure calculation (m) The base of the wall should be provided with a filter-protected positive drainage system to prevent the build-up of hydrostatic pressure against the wall. The selection of backfill materials should be reviewed during the design and their impact on the foregoing pressures assessed. 6.5 Floor Slabs In areas where there is no partial basement, we recommend the use of structurally supported floor slabs over a void space. This will avoid slab movements which are normally associated with slabs on grade due to the non-uniform subgrade conditions and the presence of high plastic clay soils at this site. A void separation between the slab and soil should be at least 200 mm thick. A vapour barrier should be provided below all floor slabs to minimize the potential for long term moisture changes within the underlying clay soils. Floor slabs-on-grade are not recommended for this project. Heave or swelling movements will occur with slabs-on-grade and it is possible that the total heave could amount to as much as 100 mm in the long term. A major factor impacting the magnitude of floor slab movements, which will ultimately occur, are the climatic effects during construction which might impact changes in the subsoil moisture conditions. For this reason, it is not possible to assess the amount of heave which will occur with any degree of accuracy. If a slab on grade is selected, the Owner must accept responsibility for the consequences of floor slab movements, and the floor slab should be isolated from fixed building components (e.g. grade beams) to allow movements without affecting the structure and other building components. The floor slab should not be placed against frozen soil. A minimum 150 mm thick leveling course of free draining gravel (e.g. 19 mm down crushed limestone compacted to at least 95 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density) beneath the slab is recommended. The granular base materials will need to be placed on a prepared subgrade. Clay topsoil, deleterious materials, existing pavements and silt should be stripped from the sub-grade surface prior to preparation. The sub-grade should be uniformly compacted to at least 95 of the standard Proctor maximum dry density before the granular base material is placed. The presence of the shallow silt layer may present some difficulties with compacting the subgrade. The subgrade should be proof rolled with a fully loaded tandem gravel truck to check for soft areas. Areas identified as being weak or MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 8

14 soft during proof rolling should be stabilized by additional re-working and compaction or removal and replacement with suitable material. Silt can be bridged with a woven geotextile to provide separation and reinforcement. The geotextile should meet the requirements of the City of Winnipeg s Standard Construction Specifications, CW3130 for the Supply and Installation of Geotextile Fabrics. 6.6 Soccer Field If the recommendations for floor slabs in the previous section are not suitable for design of the soccer field playing surface, DRI should be contacted to provide additional recommendations to best suit the local subsurface conditions and the performance requirements for the playing field. 6.7 Exterior Pads Where exterior pads are required to support equipment, the pads can be a slab-on-grade design or a structural pad supported on cast-in-place friction piles. Friction piles should be used if seasonal movements on the order of 50 mm, some of which may be differential in nature, cannot be tolerated. If a slab-on-grade pad is selected it can be designed with an SLS bearing pressure of 100 kpa and a factored ULS bearing pressure of 150 kpa. The pad should be placed on a 300 mm thick (minimum) layer of crushed limestone (19 mm down gradation) compacted to 95 percent of the standard Proctor dry density. The crushed limestone should extend at least 300 mm beyond the perimeter of the concrete pad. The subgrade should be prepared by removing the topsoil, existing pavement materials and other deleterious materials down to stiff native clay. 6.8 Pavements and Sidewalks Given the dry conditions in the upper 1 to 2 m of the soils at this site, some heaving of paved parking surfaces and sidewalks should be expected due to natural increases in the moisture content of the clay soils. The amount of heave cannot be predicted with any accuracy, however, we suggest that overtime it could be in the order of 50 to 100 mm. The impact of these movements will be most noticeable where there are pavement surfaces and sidewalks adjacent to the building. Some maintenance work may be required in the future. Light duty asphalt pavements can be designed using 50 mm of asphalt placed on 200 mm of crushed granular base material. If heavy duty traffic is expected in some areas of the site the pavement section could consist of 75 mm of asphaltic concrete placed on 380 mm of crushed granular base course. For heavy duty traffic areas, such as refuse pick up areas, the pavement section should consist of 200 mm of reinforced concrete over 200 mm of crushed granular base course. All of these pavement sections should be installed on a prepared subgrade. The granular base material should consist of 19 mm down crushed limestone material compacted to 98 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density and should be placed over a uniformly prepared subgrade. Clay topsoil, deleterious materials and silt should be stripped from the sub-grade surface prior to preparation. The sub-grade should be uniformly compacted to at least 95 of the standard Proctor MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 9

15 maximum dry density before the granular base material is placed. The presence of the shallow silt layer may present some difficulties with compacting the subgrade. The subgrade should be proof rolled with a fully loaded tandem gravel truck to check for soft areas. Areas identified as being weak or soft during proof rolling should be stabilized by additional re-working and compaction or removal and replacement with suitable material. Thick layers of silt are not practical to remove but can be bridged with a woven geotextile to provide separation and reinforcement. The geotextile should meet the requirements of the City of Winnipeg s Standard Construction Specifications, CW3130 for the Supply and Installation of Geotextile Fabrics. Sidewalk design and construction should meet the requirements of the City of Winnipeg s Standard Construction Specifications, CW3325-R5 for the Portland Cement Concrete Sidewalk. The concrete should be 100 mm thick with at least 50 mm of compacted granular base installed over a prepared subgrade. 6.9 Excavations All excavation work should be completed by the Contractor in accordance with the current Manitoba Workplace Health and Safety Regulations to suit the planned and expected construction activities and schedule Other Considerations It is recommended that all concrete in contact with clay soil should be of high quality and manufactured with sulphate-resistant cement. Positive site drainage away from the structure should be provided at a gradient of at least 2 percent where ever possible. MAPLES COMMUNITY CENTRE 10
