Foundation Recommendations: Provided estimated settlements are within the structural tolerance, a shallow foundation system consisting of either perimeter wall footings or isolated pad footings ought to provide adequate support for the proposed structure, assuming the whole removal of all surface organic materials, correct subgrade preparation, and correct fill placement, as described later. based on the SPT "N" values obtained from the soil boring test a internet allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf (in more than overburden) is estimated for the present shallow soils found over the site and for structural fill as described in this report. This bearing pressure estimate relies on the complete removal of all surface organic materials, the removal of organic materials beneath footings, and also the filling and recompacting described later during this report. Settlements for the proposed structures and the anticipated fill, based on a sway capability of 2,500 psf, are estimated to be regarding 1-inch total. As mentioned previously, attributable to the sandy nature of the materials, these settlements should occur because the masses are applied. A minimum footing width of 18 inches and a minimum depth of embedment of 18 inches ought to be used for footing style for all structures if individual footings are selected.
