|
D. Submit soil reports; soil information notes shown on plans should reflect actual conditions of the site. The designer shall not design footings to rest on "undisturbed soil". If this notation is used, the wording should be "undisturbed sound earth", as footings will not be accepted which would be poured on peat or muck, topsoil, loosely compacted fills or wash conditions. If the designer calls for neat line pours using the soils as forms, show the feasibility of this design in relation to the soil conditions at the site. |
