SCOPE
FOUNDATION SOIL INVESTIGATION
CENTENNIAL PARK COMMUNITY CENTER
Salina, Kansas
This report covers the investigation of the types of soils,
their existing condition, the presence of ground water, the re-
sults of field tests, a plot plan of the buildings in the area,
and our recommendations regarding the foundations for the pro-
posed building.
PROPOSED SITE
The proposed site is on the west side of Commanche Drive be-
tween Hemlock and Cypress Drives, and is at the location of an
existing picnic shelter house in Centennial Park in the west part
of Salina, Kansas.
This block was formerly the site of a number of small houses,
and it is likely that one or more old sewer and gas and water
lines are in the building area.
SUB -SURFACE INVESTIGATION
Test holes were drilled at each of the four main corners of
the building. The locations are shown on Figure No. 1. The
holes were all drilled about 15 feet deep.
The test holes reveal a variety of soil types between holes
as is quite often the case in alluvial deposited soils. The soil
in the upper 10 feet in the two east holes is relatively dry and
hard, whereas the upper 3 to 4 feet of soil in the two westerly
holes is quite moist and soft. Detailed logs of each test hole
are at the back of this report, and all four holes are shown in
graphic form on Figure No. 2.
GROUND WATER
Ground water was not encountered to the depth drilled, al-
though there seemed to be some thin fairly moist soil layers es-
pecially in the most westerly hole. Based on test drilling done
previously by this laboratory in nearby areas, we believe the
ground water level to be about 22 to 25 feet deep.
FIELD TESTS
Standard Penetration Tests per ASTM Method D 1586 were made
in the field in each of the test holes. Results of the tests are
listed on both the detailed boring logs and the graphic logs.
Blow counts ranged up to 29 blows per foot in the dry silty clay
and down to only 31,� blows in the quite moist upper silty clay of
Hole No. 3.
Hand Penetrometer Tests were also run in the field on each
of the recovered samples. Results are listed on the detailed
boring logs.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Due to the soft, weak upper soils in the west and south ar-
eas of the site and the hard, dry soils in the northeast areas,
we recommend setting all footings at a depth of about four feet
(elevation 1227) or lower. Footings set as above may be designed
using a maximum presumptive bearing value of 2,000 pounds per
square foot.
The samples of the soils as shown on the boring logs have
been placed in sealed glass jars and will be retained for a
time.
If there are questions concerning the report or if any ad-
ditional testing is desired, we will be available for consul-
tation.

Rectangles alongside boring log drawings representc.Standard Penetration
1"te made with'a 2 -inch outside diameter split
sampling spoom driven by a
140 pound weight dropped 3D -inches. The number
to the right of the square
represent the number
of blows required to drive
the sampler 12 inches. 'The
abbreviation "Ref" represents refusal of 100 or
more blows per foot.
:The his to'the left of the logs indicate
the depths from the surface of
the holes to changes
of soils, colors or to water levels. The symbol
represents'the ground water level.
On the detailed boring logs the abbreviation
"NP" represents Nand
Penetrometer Tests corresponding to Unconfined Campression Tests (U in tans /
square foot. The abbreviation "TV" represents Torvane Shear Tests with results
converted to (CAI) in
tons. per square foot.
