INTRODUCTION

·~ The sc6pe of our work was to deve~op subsurface

and con·structi on. To accomp I ish. this scope. two borIngs
were drilled and. samples o.f. subsurface materials obtained
for evaluation of their engineering propertles. An ana~
I ys i s was made of \'I o r k p rev i o u s I y p e r f o rm e d by o t h e r s i n
the site area. Our work also included constderation of
possible effects of the proposed construction upon a
drainage ·tunnel sli·ua-ted boneath the site.
. PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS '·,<- .
It is our understandinQ that the proposed con
domir\lum facill.tles will include a tower 16 stories in
height;: and a 2-l.evel parking str1,1cture separated. from
the tow·er. A portion of the tower is to be located over
an existing dratnage tunnel easement. The structure wit r
be supported by bearing walls which will Impose loads of
a bout -45 k t p s p e r I I near toot o f w a I f • ex c e p t fo r t h e

a wind load of soo·~rp~ ~er ir.hea~ foot. A swimming pool
wlll be located along the northern edge of the site. ~-·., .·_,.·~··.::~ .. , '.) ..

SITE CONDITIONS
SURFACE
The site is sltuat.ed on .the side of a north-
west-facing interlor slope of Salt Lake crater. Two
benches have been constructed at the site; one, which is
to contain the tower, slopes northwestward from eleva-·
tton +61 feet ~o +50 feet, .the other also slopes north
westward from elevation +49 feet to +36 feet and is to
contain parking and recreation .facilities. Portions of
each bench are cut. fnto rock, and the remainder consists
otovarlying sand and gravel or ttl I m~terial which was
removed ftc~ the puts.
At pre~ent, . the sJ te is occup Jed by a one~story.
wood-frame of,flce but ldt.ng. The adjoining lot immedi
ately west of the site contains a four-story concrete
structure.
SUBSURFACE ·
The site is situate.d. on the rim of Salt Lake
Crater, a secondary er;-uptton ln the 1-cffer volcanic stages
of Oahu's development. Volcanic ash ahd ejecta have been
cemented 1n place tp form h~rd volcanic tuff and tuff
breccia rock. General lyj th~ ·tuff Is massive, and is
sometimes overlain by ~ few feet 6f gravel or sand fl I I
·and/or a dense bro~ffl';>Jitygn~v~IJY. sand. . . ~ .
This rock was

penetrated by bQt~qf our ~orlngs, and may be seert tn
road. cuts a··nd .trenches near the sJ.te. The tuff J.s of
variable t:hlcknessl and' ln places overlies a fine to
coarse d~nse cinder. sa~d-and clayeyclnder sand~ The
.sand, If prese·nt,overlies•asttt complex consisting
of I I ght brown stUf to hard silty c I ay and sandy or
clayey silt. Where the sand is not present, the tuff
·l'les d!reci"ty upori.cJay·or s!lt. The base of the silt
camp I ex was not ·encountered by our borIngs.
A dtat.nage~~unner has been constructed by tun-
neltng through~th~ ,trt complex. The tunnel passes be-
neath. the r:.ortheast corner .of the p.roposed structure at
. an ~pproximate depth of 44 to 48 feet. r+ Is our under~
standing that ~he tunn•r Js of arch roof design, lined
with reinforced gunlte, and ts I! feet in height and 10
feet. t n width. The tunne I was constructed to carry
dratnage.~ro~ Sal~ Lake to a. storm sewer near PuUioa Road.
To expJore the subsurface con.d it f on s be neath
the site, .t\'/0 borin.gs.were dri i !ed· at the locations shown
on the Plot Plan. The borings were dri I led by a sub-
contractor under o~r constant field tnspectfoh. Core~
were o~tained of r6tk en~ountered tn the borings to
ev~luate the ~ompetency of the rock underlying the slte.

CO~CLUSIO~S AND ~ECOMMENDATIONS
TUNNEl_ StABILITY
A review of o(Jr files was made to gather exist-
lng Information rega.rding the drainage tunnel beneath
the stte. This Information was summarized In a:;precedlng
_paragraph, SITE CONDITIONS, SUBSURFACE.
We are of the opfnton that the proposed struc-
tur'e would have negligible effects on the t~nn~l; con
versely; the presence ·of the tunnel would have negligible
effects on the proposed construct ion •.
..fOUNDAT I.ONS
The l6~story str~cture can be satisfactorily
suppor+ed on spread footings placed in a competent rock or
soli~ We recommend tb~ ~se df ~bearing pressure of 8000
pounds per square foot·for footings placed directly d~~t
tuff formation that''_.(~-- ?If lea?t.· lol!r feet thick. Other-

wise~~ fo6tfngs placed on natural sand or gravelly sand
shouJ.d b~ de~fgn~~ to a bearing pressure·of. 6000 pounds
per square fo.ot. Thus, to ascertain the thlckne~s of
ttiff urid~r the waft footing~ the bottom of the footin~
·should be·so.unded by test pits or drilling to at least
four fee~·Ldeep;. The bottom of a I I footings s h.ou I d be
at lea.st t~o feet below the lowest adj~cant grade .
. The same ~rlteria ~hould be used for footings
for the. ga~age structure •.
E~cavatlon In tuff .rock sho~ld be thoroughly
cleaned of loose debriS or loosened rock pieces prior
to placing of steel.
All'foundation excavations should be Inspected
by a qualttJed soil~ engineer to verlfy t~at the exposed
mate ri a I s are cap ab I e of sat i s factor i I y support i n g the
t mposed . loads.
SLABS-ON-GRADE
It is our opinion that bui I ding slabs and pool
decking can be sattsfactorl ly supported at grade. A
minimum f.our-inch thick open graded gravel should be
used beneath any concr-ete slabs in. habitable. areas.
A vapor barrier or membrane should ba placed under the
slabs and the·base:::coursecgradaJion should-be suffi-

RETAINING. WALL
It Is our undet·standing that a basement wall
wl II also be designed to refai ~ earth fl I! be. low :iround
level. Geheralfy~~the wall should be designed for a
lateral e~rth pressure of 65 pounds per square foot per
foot of. d'epth on the vertica I face of the w.a I I. It is
impe~attve th&f t~ere be ~o latera~ dafl~ctlon of the
wall during the b.ackfllling operation of the wall. Thus
it appea'rs that buttress type I atera I supports would be
preferable to provide adequate rigidity during construe-
tton. It Is suggested thati in reviewing the proposed
construction schedules by the contractor, the state of
the w a I I .. d u r1 n g the b a c k f i I. I i n g s h o u I d b e c a r e f u I I y
