EXECUTIVE SLTMI�IARY
Cooperativa de Seguros Multiples retained SDII Global Corporation (SDII) on May 5, 2010, to
conduct a subsidence investigation at the Quiros-Martinez residence in Zephyrhills, Florida. The
purpose of the investigation was to determine the existence of sinkhole activity as defined by
Chapter(§)627.706 Florida Statutes at the residence.
The existence of sinkhole activity and a consequent sinkhole loss was investigatr:;d in accordance
w�th the requirements of§627.707 Fiorida Statutes following standard �nethod�s. The following
methods were utilized in our investigation:
❑ A site inspection and homeowner interview were completed to identify local conditions,
damage, history of the structure, homeowner concerns, and details of the construction of
the house.
❑ A ground penetrating radar survey was conducted to identify anomalous s ubsurface areas.
❑ Three test pits were excavated to observe foundation construction and geometry directly.
❑ Hand auger borings and push penetrometer soundings were advanced to determine tlie
composition and strength of subsurface materials near the foundation.
❑ Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings were advanced to character�ze the relative
stability of soils and deeper geologic conditions.
❑ Laboratory testing of soils was performed to identify deleterious soil type:, and for quality
control of soil and geologic materials classification.
❑ Relative floor elevation contour mapping was completed to identify a.�nomalous floor
elevation trends and establish a baseline contour map ofthe existing floar�elevation.
❑ A structural assessment was completed to identify construction method,., and structural
deficiencies related to the potential causes of observed conditions.
It is SDII's opinion, with a reasonable professional probability, that sinkfiole activity as
defined by §627.706 Fiorida Statutes exists at the Quiros-Martinez residenci�. Evidence of
sinkhole activity was identified at the site, including: (1) the systematic pattern of declining N
values through clay-rich soils overlying ]imestone in SPT borings B-] and B-2; (?) multrple feet
of weight-of-rod/hammer strength materials overlying limestone in SPT boring.<_, B-I and B-2;
and(3)the rapid losses of drilling fluid circulation above iimestone in SPT boring; B-1 and B-2.
Furthermore, based on the data presented herein, it is SDII's opinion, wit�i a reasonable
professional probabiIity,that a sinkhole loss,as described by§627.706 Florid,a Statutes, has
occurred at the Quiros-Martinez residence. The damage to the residence is �;;onsistent with
normai shrinkage cracking of un-reinforced or mildly reinforced concrete and t�;iasonry; minor
differential foundation movement associated with sinkllole activity; long-term deflection of the
roof structure; post-construction structural settlement; and minor thermal and moisture induced
volume changes of construction materials includin
stucco, and fasteners. The ]ack of sufficient footing enbedmebta a�y have c nt.ribu�ted o�the

damage. The observed damage on the exterior and interior of the residence is cosmetic in nature,
such that the design function of the building has not been compromised.
SDti recommends that the sinkhole conditions be remediated using compaction�:;rout injection to
increase the density of the soils and cap the limestone. Following the compactio�n grouting, SDII
recommends that the shallow soils around the perimeter of the residence be stal.�ilized through a
program of vertical chemical grout injection. SDII also recommends that the remediation
program be monitored in order to verify that it is completed in accondance with our
recominendations. The cost of remediation, monitoring, and certification is estimated to be
approximately$59,275.
The following report details the basis of these findings and SDII's recommenda��tions. A list and
definitions of terms utilized in this report is provided in the Glossary.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
SDII Global Corporation (SD1I) was retained by Cooperativa de Seguros Multip;fes to conduct a
subsidence investigation in accordance with §627.707 Florida Statutes at the (�uiros-Martinez
residence in Zephyrhilis, Florida. The purpose of the .investigation was to determine the
existence of sinkhote activity and a sinkhole loss as defined by §627.706 Florid�� Statutes at the
residence. This report provides the results of the subsidence investigatian and SDi1's
recommendations for remedial actions to stabilize the foundation.
1.2 Scope of Work
The following methods were used during the investigation to detennine the exist��nce of sinkhole
activity at the residence.
❑ The residence was inspected to determine the nature and extent of reporked damage and
to observe existing conditions across the property.
❑ The horneowner was interviewed to obtain the timeline for the damage„ chronology of
construction, ownership of the structure, and background information relaCive to potential
causes of damage to the structure.
❑ Available published data were reviewed regarding generai geologic and hydrogeologic
conditions in the area of the residence.
G A ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey was conducted inside and outside of the
residence to determine the presence of anomalous soil conditions that mig}it be indicative
of karst activity, buried debris, or otherwise disturbed or unusual subsurfac;e conditions.
❑ Hand auger borings and push penetrometer soundings were advanced tc� determine the
composition and strength of subsurface materials near the foundation.
❑ Standard penetration test(SPT)borings were advanced to detennine t11e relative strengths
of soils and to characterize deep geologic conditions.
❑ Representative soil and geologic material collected from the hand auger and SPT borings
were analyzed in ti�e laboratory to confir�n visual interpretations and furth��r characterize
the properties of the materials.
❑ Three test pits were excavated to observe foundation construction and geon-ietry directly.
❑ Relative floor elevation contour mapping was completed to identify an��malous floor
elevation trends and establish a baseline contour map of the existing floor elevation.
❑ A structural assessment was completed to identify construction methods and structural
deficiencies related to the potential causes of observed conditions.

� This final report was prepared to summarize the results of the field irivestigation and
structural assessment. This report provides conclusions concerning th�e existence of
sinkhole activity as defined by Florida Statutes and the cause of the rep��rted damage to
the structure.
1.3 De�nitions
In 2005 and 2006, the Florida Legislature revised §627 Florida Statutes, including the sections
that pertain to sinkhole definitions and investigations. SDII adheres closely to these definitions
and protocols when investigating sinkhole claims. Specifically, §627.706 F.;�i. includes the
following definitions, which are utilized by SDIi in determining the causes c;f dainage to a
structure.
According to §627.706 F.S., a "'Sinkhole' means a landform created by subsidence of soil,
sediment, or rock as underlying strata are dissolved by groundwater. A sinkholE� may form by
collapse into subterranean voids created by dissolution of limestone or dc;�lostone or by
subsidence as these strata are dissolved."
A "'Sinkhole loss' means structural damage to the building, including the founda.�ion, caused by
sinkhole activity."
"Sinkhole activity", as defined by §627.706 F.S., "means settlement or systematia; weakening of
the earth supporting such property only when such settlement or systematic weakening results
from movement or raveling of soils, sediments, or rock materials into subterranean voids created
by the effect of water on a limestone or similar rock formation."
In a.ddition, §627.7072 F.S. cites procedures to follow in a subsidence investigati�on and Florida
Geologica] Survey Special Publication No. 57 (SP 57) lists certain protocols anr� investigation
methods that have been found to be useful in identifying the causes of damage r.o structures in
Florida. The tasks listed in Section 1.2 of this report were specifically chosen to address the
conditions described in §627.706 F.S. and protocols described in SP 57 and Ch. 627.707 F.S..
The results of the tasks are presented below, and the methods are explained iri Appendix A,
which also cites appropriate standard methods for the tests.
1.4 Site Reconnaissance
Legal Description
The legal description of the property as provided by the Pasco County Property Appraiser's
website is: ZEPHYR HEIGHTS 1 ST ADDITiON PB 8 PG 21 LOT 13 BLOCK �! OR 5902 PG
669.
General Site Observation
The structure is a singie-family home iocated at 54l 1 Tangerine Drive in Zephy rhills, Florida
(Figure 1). According to information provided by the Pasco County Property Appraiser's
1-2
Subsidence tnvestigation SDII Project Tlumber•3023547
Quiros-Martinez Residence-Zephyrhills,Florida
website, the one-story structure was built in 1980. There were no reported or obs�;;rved additions.
The current owners have owned the home since 2004.
The property was predominantly flat. The observed damage to the house consis�ed of cracks in
the walls, concrete slab, and ceiling of the residence. According to the homeowr�er, the damage
was first noticed approximately two months prior to this investigation.
A more detailed description of the observed damage is discussed in "Sectiorr, 3.0 Structural
Evaluation". Photographs showing representative examples of the observed damage to the
structure are provided on Figure 2. A complete set of photographs taken at the pr�:�perty has been
archived and is available upon request.
1.5 Review of Published Soils Data
The Soil Conservation Service(SCS)Soil Survey for Pasco County' lists the soils underiying the
residence as Tavares-Urban land complex. These soils consist of areas of urban :land and nearly
leve] to gently sloping, moderately drained Tavares soils on low ridges.
Tavares soils are sand to a depth of 80 inches or more. Typically, the surface la}�er is very dark
�ray and is about 3 inches thick. Beneath the surface layer the sand is yellowish ti+rown and light
yellowish brown to a depth of 56 inches, very pale brown to between depths of 56 and 76 inches,
and white between depths of 76 and 80 inches or more.
Sewer systems, surface ditches, and canals artificially drain most areas of this com.plex. Tavares
soils that are not drained have a water table at a depth of 40 to 60 inches for 6 to 10 months in
most years. Penneability is very rapid tl�roughout the Tavares soils. The available water capacity
is very low.
1.6 Review of Published Topographic Data and Aerial Photographs
The U.S. Geological Survey topographic map of the areaZ indicated that the est:imated gound
surface elevation for the site is approximately 90 to 95 feet NGVD.
Closed depressions that might indicate ancient sinkhole activity were shown on the topographic
map within a. mile of the house. Closed depressions do not necessarily indicate cu�rrent sinkhole
activity and may represent other origins of the landform.
1.7 Review of Published Hydrologic Data
The potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer in the area of the residence had an estimated
range from 60 to 70 feet above mean sea level3 This elevation range is below larnd surface and
the apparent elevation of the water table, so there is a downward vertical hydraulic t;;radient.

1.8 Review of Published Regional Geologic Conditions
This regional geology section was developed from a number of regional geologic: investigations
and is intended to provide a context for understanding the geology of the are:t in which the
residence is located.
The study site is located within the Zephyrhills Gap Physiographic Province o f Florida. This
province links the Western Valley and Gulf Coastal Lowlands Physiographi,; Provinces of
Florida.4 Land surface elevations in this region range from approximately 40 to 100 feet above
sea level.`The gentle slopes of the terrain reflect the Penholoway and Wicomico rnarine terraces,
which were fonned by changes in sea level during the Pleistocene Epoch.
In this region, three major geologic formations occur at or near the land aurface. These
formations have influenced the development of soils and karst in the area. They ,are, in order of
youngest to oldest, undifferentiated Plio-Pleistocene sediments, the Miocene Hawthorn Group
and the Oligocene Suwannee Limestone.
The undifferentiated Plio-Pleistocene marine terrace sediments are composed of Iine to medium
quartz sands with varyi�zg amounts of clay matrix. The sediments are usually gray to brownish in
color and poorly to moderately consolidated.
Beneath the surface cover that comprises the Zephyrhi(is Gap is the Miocene Ha�wthorn Group.6
The Hawthorn Group sediments generally consist of gray to grayish-brown or reddish-brown,
poorly to moderately consolidated sand, clayey sand, and clay. Throughout the re�,ion, individual
formations of the Hawthorn Group are undifferentiated due to intense weatherin� and erosion of
the Miocene cover.
T}�e Oligocene Suwannee Limestone generally lies below the Miocene cover in t:he region. The
upper portion of this limestone has been subjected to weathering during repeat�;d episodes of
subaeriai exposure as sea level fluctuated in the geologic past. This weathering o;the limestone
has led to the creation of an epikarst surface. Examples of weathering feature:; found on the
epikarst surface include solution-enlarged fractures, solution holes, and limestone�:iinnacles.
Sinkhole activity in this geologic setting is controlled to a large extent by the thickness of the
depositional cover over the limestone. This cover is typically thin and poorly consclidated. When
sinkholes do occur, they are generally few, shallow and broad, and develop silowly.� In this
region, low-resistance materials and losses of drilling fluid circulation dtiring standard
penetration tests are often related to shallow weathering or erosional features �it or near the
epikarst, or with ancient erosional features near strata contacts.

2.0 GEOLOGIC AND GEOTECHNICAL EVALUATION
Site-specific �;eologic and geotechnical evaluations were used to help characterize subsurface
conditions at t.�e site. Geologic/geotechnical field tests performed at the site included:
❑ Grounr,i penetrating radar(GPR)survey
❑ Hand��.uger(HA)borings
❑ Standa:rd penetration test(SPT)borings
Results of thE°: field tests are provided in this section. Note that the order of numbering or
lettering of field tests is arbitrary and not indicative of priorities or the sequence of the
investigation.
The procedurf:s used far field sampling and testing were in general accordance with industry
standards of care and established geologic and geotechnical engineering practices. Appendix A
cites and discL�sses those methods.
2.1 Groumd Penetrating Radar Survey Results
SDII acquired GPR data around the perimeter of the structure, as well as inside the home. The
exterior GPR �,urvey was performed along transect lines established on an approximate 10-foot
by 10-foot grid. The interior GPR survey was performed in accessible areas within the home.
Figure 3 shows the locations of the GPR transect lines. Equipment settings for the GPR survey
are indicated iri Table 2.
GPR survey results indicated the presence of one set of reflectors on the GPR data. This reflector
set was nearly horizontal and apparently continuous across a majority of the project site. This
reflector set appears to correspond with an abrupt change in soil conditions, such as soil type or
moisture conte�zt. The depth to this reflector set ranged from 6 to 7 feet below land surface(bls).
Review of th:, GPR data indicated that there were no subsurface anomalies such as are
commonly associated with sinkhole activity within the surveyed areas of the project site and
above the limit:s of radar wave penetration.
2.2 Hand��►uger Boring and Push Penetrometer Sounding Results
Four hand au�;er borings (HA-1 through HA-4) were advanced near the foundation of the
structure to observe soi( conditions and collect soil samples. The locations of the borings are
shown on Figu�^e 4. Hand auger boring logs are provided in Appendix B.
The hand auge:r boring data indicated that the soils at the site were consistent with the mapped
soil type as shc�wn in the County soil siirvey(Section 1.5), encountering poorly graded sand with
silt and sand(SP-SM and SP).
The water tabl�;;was not encountered in the hand auger borings.

Push penetrometer tests were performed to depths of 1 to 4 feet bls in the hand auger borings to
indicate the relative resistances of shallow soils. The push penetrometer test results indicated soil
resistance va]ues of 5 to 33 kg/cm'. The tests indicate very loose to loose soil conditions.
2.3 Standiard Penetration Test Results
SPT borings were located in three areas of the project site as shown on Figure 4. All three SPT
borings were located near damage to the house. The upper four feet of the SPT borings were
hand augereci to avoid possible buried utilities. The lithologies, blow counts, and drilling
conditions from each SPT boring are illustrated in Appendix C. Refer to the Glossary for the
meanings of t�,rms used on the boring]ogs.
The SPT boring data indicate that the site geology is generally consistent with the regional
geology (see tiection 1.8), with sand, sand with silt, clayey sand, and clay overlying limestone.
The push penetrometer data and N values in the upper 10 feet of the borings indicate that the
near-surface soils were very loose to medium dense. The borings were terminated at depths
ranging from�`.i0 to 75 feet bts.
Push penetron�ieter testing of the upper four feet in the SPT borings indicated very loose to loose
soil condition<j.
The N values m SPT boring B-1 increased between the land surface and about 20 feet bls, then
gradually decr•eased with depth through clayey sand and clay to the top of the limestone. The top
of the limesto�ie was encountered at about 46 feet bls. Limited weight-of-rod strength material
was encounter�d at 28.5 feet bls. However, this event occ�.irred in the "seating blow" interval.
This interval i:, not included in the N value calculation as it has likely been disturbed by drilling.
A total of seve:n feet of weight-of-rod strength materials were encountered in the clay layer and
the limestone 1'r,elow it, starting at 43.5 feet bls. A rapid loss of drilling fluid circulation occurred
above the lime;stone at 43.5 feet bls. The boring was terminated in limestone at 60 feet bls.
In SPT boring, B-2, the N values remained increased with depth between the land surface and
about 20 feet t�ls. Below 20 feet bls, the N values decreased with depth through clayey sand and
clay. Limestor�e was encountered at 53.5 feet bls. Limited weight-of-rod strength materia] was
encountered a1. 38.5 feet bls. However, this event occurred in the "seating blow" interval. This
interval is not included in the N value calculation as it has likely been disturbed by drilling. A
total of 5.5 feet of weight-of-rod/hammer strength materials occurred in the clay layer above the
limestone. A r.;�pid Ioss of drilling fluid circulation occurred above the limestone at 48.5 feet bls.
The boring wa,,terminated in limestone at 75 feet bls.
The N values in SPT boring B-3 fluctuated slightly with the clay content of the sediments
penetrated. Th�� top of the limestone was encountered at approximately 53 feet bls. Limited
weight-of-rod;.trength material was encountered at 23.5 feet bls. However, this event occuned in
the"seating bli�w" interval. This interval is not included in the N value calculation as it has likely
been disturbed by drilling. No rapid loss of drilling fluid circulation occurred in the boring. The
boring was tenninated in limestone at 65 feet bls.

Evidence of sinkhole activity was identified at the site, including: (1) the systematic pattern of
declining N �ralues through clay-rich soils overlying limestone in SPT borings B-] and B-2; (2)
multiple feet �f weight-of-rod/hammer strength materials overlying limestone in SPT borings B-
1 and B-2; and (3) the rapid losses of drilling fluid circulation above the limestone in SPT

2.4 Labo�ratory Soil Analysis
Laboratory arialyses of soils are used to determine the suitability of the soil for construction and
load bearing ,:�s well as for quality-control purposes. The analytical methods for laboratory tests
included in th is investigation are summarized in Appendix A. Results from the tests are provided
in Appendix 1=).
Particle size �inalyses were perfonned on soil samples collected from hand auger borings HA-1
and HA-4 an�� SPT boring B-2 (Figure 4) for quality control purposes. The laboratory data
indicated that the samples were poorly graded sand (SP) with approximately 3 percent fines
content, poorl;y graded sand with silt (SP-SM) with approximately 7 percent fines content, and
clayey sand (�SC) with approximately 14 to 23 percent fines content. The clay- or silt-sized
fractions were not present in quantities sufficient to indicate a concern for soil suitability.
2.5 Geolo�;ic and Geotechnical Evaluation Summary
The SPT data indicate that sinkhole activity, as defined by §627.706 Florida Statutes, exists at
the site. Evicience of sinkhole aciivity was identified at the site, including: (1) the systematic
pattern of decl ining N values through clay-rich soils overlying limestone in SPT borings B-1 and
B-2; (2) multi.ple feet of weight-of-rod/hammer strength materials overlying limestone in SPT
borings B-] a��.d B-2; and (3)the rapid losses of drilling fluid circulation above the limestone in
SPT borings B-1 and B-2.

3.0 STRUCTURAL EVALUATION
The purpose of the visual, structural assessment of the Quiros-Martinez residence was to help
determine the;probable causes that have contributed to the damage of the residence. ln addition,
the structural assessment provides critical information in determining the appropriate remedial
actions for structures that may have been damaged by sinkhole activity. The homeowner, Mr.
Martinez, and his representative, Mr. A1 Moreno, P.A., were present during the field portion of
the assessme�tt and provided access to the residence and information regarding the timeline of
the damage <ind the primary concerns. Mr. Martinez expressed that his main concern is the
cracks in the e;xterior of the residence.
3.1 Genei•al Structural Observations
According to information provided by the Pasco County Property Appraiser's website, the
single-story :;tructure was built in 1980. The structure faces generally southeast and is
constructed oi'masonry-block, exterior, load-bearing walls. The floor of the residence consists of
a soil-support�;d, concrete slab-on-grade. The main roof structure was gable in design and was
covered with��:sphalt shingles. There were no reported or observed additions.
3.2 ResuH:,s of Foundation Test Pit Excavation
Test pit (TP;� excavations were performed along the perimeter of the main structure, the
converted ga��age, and the driveway to directly observe the founctation construction and
geometry. For approximate locations of the test pit excavations, see Figure 4.
The results of'TA-1 indicate that the foundation of the main structure consists of a masonry block
stem wall on �i continuous strip footing. The footing measured approximately 10 inches thick by
an estimated 14 inches wide and the bottom of the footing was 24 inches bls. The stem wall was
22 inches in k�eight and was offset 3 inches on the footing. The top of the slab was 8 inches
above the existing ground surface.
The results of'TP-2 indicate that the foundation of the converted garage consists of a concrete
slab-on-grade with a thickened edge monolithic footing. The footing was embedded 8 inches.
The top of the slab was 3 inches above the existing ground surface, for a total footing thickness
of 11 inches. The current Florida Building Code (1805.2) states that the minimum depth of
footings below� the undisturbed ground surface shall be 12 inches. An improperly embedded
foLmdation is �nore susceptible to movement caused by consolidation of near surface soils as a
result of lack c�f adequate soil confinement.
The results of T'P-3 indicate that the driveway consists of a 4-inch thick concrete slab-on-grade.
The siab was 4-inches.
3.3 Summ��ry of Observed Damage
The following paragraphs summarize the damage noted during the investigation. Approximate
locations and ��hotographs representative of the damage are illustrated in Figure 2. All of the

photographs ,.ind other information obtained by SDII will be retained in the project file and can
be provided u.pon request.
On the interior of the residence, SDlI observed cracks in the walls of the utility area. There were
cracks in the:Eloor tiles of the living room. A crack was noted in the grout joint between the floor
tile and the ba.thtub in the northwest bathroom. There was separation between the doorframe and
the ceiling in the kitchen. There were also cracks in the grout joint between the wall tiles in the
shower of the northwest bathroom.
On the exteric:�r, SDII noted cracks in the northeast and northwest wall elevations. There was a
crack in the i loor tile of the front porch. There were also cracks in the concrete slab of the
driveway.
3.4 Relati��e Floor Elevation Contour Map
The data for a relative floor elevation contot�r map was collected on May 14,2010. The methods
used to evaluate the floor configuration are described in Appendix A. Figure 5 depicts the
contour map stzowing the relative elevations of the floors. Where carpeting, wood, tile, or other
floor coverings exist, corrections have been made to obtain the top of slab elevations.
The floor elev,ation map indicated that there was a total elevation difference of approximately 1.2
inches across the floor slab of the main living area of the residence. The highest elevation was
recorded at tL:e south portion of the floor stab, and the floor elevations generally decreased
toward the no7�theast wall of the residence. The pattern of elevation change of the floor slab of
the residence is consistent with minor differential foundation movement.
The floor slab of the converted garage was constructed 4.0 inches below the finished floor
elevation (FFF;) of the living area. The floor elevations in the converted garage have been
adjusted to reflect this difference. The floor slab of the garage exhibited a slope of approximately
1.2 inches over a span of 25 feet descending toward the south corner of the garage. It should be
noted that the:Eloor slab of a garage would normally be sloped toward the garage door opening to
altow proper drainage. Therefore, given that the garage floor does not slope toward the door
opening and t�iere is damage present in the garage, it is SDII's opinion that the garage has
experienced minor differential foundation movement.
3.5 Evalua tion of Observed Damage
The interior s:;parations and cracking observed on the structure is consistent with structural
movement tha�r is within a reasonable range for the type and age of construction and the soil
types and co,nditions encountered at the site. This structural movement includes minor
differential fou.ndation movement, ]ong-term deflection of primarily wood framing members that
occurs over t.he life of the structure, and post-construction settlement. Minor differential
f'oundation mo�vement typicalIy affects interior and exterior walls and floor level. Long-term
deflection typic;ally involves roof/ceiling framing members and affects ceiling finishes. Post-
construction structural settlement occurs when the self-weight of a structure and building
components is transferred to the design beanng locations. The remaining stress will be
3-2
Subsidence lnvE;stigation SDII Project Number•3023547
Quiros-Martin4;z Residence-Zephyrhills, Florida
redistributed through the structure resulting in hairline cracking of the drywall in the ceilings and
interior wall��, Locations that are particularly susceptible are above windows, doorways and
openings, at or near changes in geometry of the framing, and at or near abrupt changes or corners
of a drywal] �;�anel. These separations and cracking resulting from minor differential foundation
movement, long term deflection, and post-construction settlement have no bearing on the
structural inte;rity of the structure.
The cracks ol_�served in the floor tile within the structure are consistent with movement (both
horizontal and vertical) along concrete shrinkage cracks and construction or control joints in the
slab beneath the tile that have been aggravated by thermal expansion and contraction, additional
drying shrink��ge of the slab, or minor differential settlement of the slab. The movement along
these types oi'joints and concrete cracks can propagate up to the floor tile. According to the
American N��tional Standard Specifications for the Installation of Ceramic Tile, proper
installation of ceramic tile involves using an isolation membrane between the floor tile and the
concrete slab c�ver any existing cracks. Also, movement joints should be placed over joints in the
concrete slab.
The observed ��racking on the exterior of the structure is consistent with materials shrinkage of
the masonry aiid/or stucco and minor differential foundation movement. The effects of thermal
stress have further exacerbated the exterior cracks. Material shrinkage cracks form when the wall
is constructed, though may not be visible for some time afterward. The width of these cracks is
also influencecj!.by thermal stress caused by temperature changes, which cause the wall to expand
and contract. 1VIaterial shrinkage cracks are commonly found in residential construction and
typically oceur� at those locations in which the wall is considered to be the most susceptible to
cracking, such as at window openings and corners. The degree of movement associated with
thermal stress is a fiinction of the building materials, the length of the wall, and the amount of
temperature cl��ange. Minor differential movement of the foundation appears to have further
aggravated thi.; damage. See Section 2.0 "Geologic and Geotechnical Evaluation" for further
discussion of ;�oil conditions encountered at the site that may have initiated the differential
movement of 1;he foundation. These damages do not have a signifcant impact on the structural
integrity or req uired design capacity of the wa11s.
The ohserved cracking in the concrete slab of the driveway is consistent with conerete shrinkage
and/or the effi�ct of therma( expansion and contraction. Concrete slabs on grade shrink after
construction inrtially due to thermal volume change as the hydration process(curing)slows. The
slab will also c;ontinue to shrink after construction due to drying shrinkage as free water(water
not chemically bound during the hydration process) leaves the slab. Both of these shrinkage
rnechanisms are inherent in the concrete curing/aging process. In large commercial projects, the
use of constri_iction joints and control joints are commonly used to control the random
curing/shrinka�;e cracking. The use of construction or control joints in residential construction is
not common �md the resulting random cracking in residential slabs on grade is most often
covered by interior floor coverings and typically does not present a problem.
in general, the darnages observed by SDII are minor in severity and sparsely distributed. The
observed conditions are not structurally significant in that they do not compromise the load

Subsidence lnve,stigation SDII Project Number:3023547
Quiros-Martin�;;z Residence-Zephyrhills,Florida
capacity of structural members or systems. The damage to the residence is considered cosmetic
in nature.
3.6 Sumnrary of Structural Evaluation
It is SDll's opinion, with reasonable professional probabiIity, that the damage to the residence is
consistent wi1:h normal shrinkage cracking of un-reinfarced or mildly reinforced concrete and
masonry; min�r differential foundation movement; long-term deflection of the roof structure;
post-construct�on structural settlement; and minor thermal and moisture induced volume changes
of construction materials including gypsum board, wood trim and framing, stucco, and fasteners.
The lack of si,�fficient footing embedment may have contributed to the damage. The observed
damage on th�:; exterior and interior of the residence is cosmetic in nature, such that the design
function of the;building has not been compromised.
3.7 Remeclial Recommendations
The geologic a.nd geotechnical investigations concluded that sinkhole activity is occurring at the
site. It is our recommendation that the subsurface soils be stabilized to minimize further
subsidence damage. Stabilization should be accomplished through compaction grout injection to
densify the so�ls beneath the residence and to seal the top of the limestone surface to minimize
future raveling;.
The compactiun grout stabilization should incorporate 15 injection points spaced approximately
10 feet on center around the perimeter of the structure. The grout points should be vertical and
inchned as shcrwn on Figure 6. Grout point locations should be as close to the perimeter of the
structure as po�;sible.
The depth of�;routing, based on the field boring logs, is likely to vary from approximately 50
feet in the viciriity of boring B-1, to 60 feet in the vicinity of boring B-3, to 65 feet in the vicinity
of boring B-2 (�estimated average depth of 60 feet). The overseeing geotechnical engineer should
approve the ad vancement of any injection point deeper than 75 feet. Grout injection should be
performed up 10 a depth of 15 feet unless otherwise specified by the overseeing geotechnical
engineer.
Typical pre-mi xed compaction grout, with sufficient silt sizes to develop internal friction that
generally does not enter soil pores but remains in a homogenous mass that can give controlled
displacement bc� loose soils, with a slump between 4 and 6 inches, should be used. The grout
should be pum�ed at slow enough rates such that the grout will densify and not merely hydro-
fracture the soiL The injection pressures (at in-line pressure gauge at, or just before, the top of
the grout pipe;� should be limited to 300 pounds per square inch (psi). Additionally, no more
than 10 yards c�f grout should be injected into any single point within a six-hour period. The
elevation of th�� structure, and any within 30 feet of the injection point, should be monitored
continuously di��ring the grouting process to minimize unnecessary upward movement.

Subsidence ln��estigation SDII Project Number:3023547
Quiros-Martii�ez Residence-Zephyrhills, Florida
The total qu:mtity of grout required can vary based on site conditions, but is likely to be between
100 and 17`� cubic yards (cy). The estimated cost for repair is based on the higher volume of
grout.
Following the compaction gouting, SDlI recommends, based on the very loose shallow soil
conditions encountered in the hand auger and SPT boring, that the shallow soils arot►nd the
perimeter of�he residence be stabilized through a program of vertical chemical grout injection.
The chemical grout injection should be high-density polymer resins that when mixed, will create
an expandint; polyurethane (or equivalent) foam that can lift, realign, and fill voids under
concrete slab,� and foundations being supported by base soils. Typically, once injected, the resin
mixture expa.nds into the composite rnaterial (foam), filling voids, bindrng soils, and exerting a
controlled compressive uplifting force under a limited area of the slab/foundation. The foam
then cures inl:o a stable replacement base material for the slab/foundation. The chemical grout
should be ve,�tically injected approximately 5 feet on center over a depth range from 2 to 8 feet
below the for.>ting around the perimeter of the residence, through drilled holes in exterior slabs
where necess.,ary. A total of 29 vertical injection points will be required under the foundation
slab at the a�rproximate locations depicted in Figure 7. If necessary, points shall be inclined as
necessary so that the material will be injected directly beneath the center of the footing or load
bearing locati�on closest to each injection point. An estimated 20 to 25 pound of material will be
required at earh injection location. The chemical grout injection should be postponed a minimum
of 30 days af't.er the completion of the compaction grouting to allow for any subsequent ground
movement to occur. The contractor is to submit a detailed description of the proposed chemical
injection prog;ram for approval.
A list of estiriiated costs for repair and engineering supervision is provided below, lt does not
include estim��tes for cosmetic repairs, which should be estimated by a qualified insurance
adjustor or co�ntractor. Cosmetic repairs can begin shortly after the completion of the chemical
grout injection.s.

B. Groutii7g: 175 cy @$170/cy...................................... ......................$29,750
C. Mobili:zation and injection of up to 725 pounds of material...............$9,250
D. Monitc�ring and Certification........................................................... $4.975
Total.............$59,275
This cost estirnate should be considered an "order of magnitude" estimate of actual construction
costs, and therefore should not be construed as a bid for perforrning the work. Actual costs can
only be deterrriined through solicitation of bids from qualified contractors.
Continuous m�anitoring by 5DII personnel during remediation is suggested to verify compliance
with these recc�mmendations and to make necessary adjustrnents to the remediation program due
to unforeseen ;..ite conditions. This will also allow the engineer who created the remedial design
to certify that t�e remediation met design specifications.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
It is SDII's opinion, with a reasonable professional probability, that sinkhole activity as
defined by Fj627.706 Florida Statutes exists at the Quiros-Martinez residence. Evidence of
sinkhole actiwity was identified at the site, including: (1) the systematic pattern of declining N
values throu��h clay-rich soils overlying limestone in SAT borings B-1 and B-2; (2) multiple feet
of weight-of-rod/hammer strength materials overlying limestone in SPT barings B-1 and B-2;
and(3)the ra,pid losses of drilling fluid circulation above limestone in SPT borings B-1 and B-2.
Furthermor�:�, based on the data presented herein, it is SDII's opinion, with a reasonable
professional probability,that a sinkhole loss,as described by§627J06 Florida Statutes, has
occurred at trhe Quiros-Marfinez residence. The damage to the residence is consistent with
normal shrinls:age cracking of un-reinforced or mildly reinforced concrete and masonry; minor
differential fc,undation movement associated with sinkhole activity; long-term deflection of the
roof structure„ post-construction structural settlement; and minor thermal and moisture induced
volume chan�es of construction materials including gypsum board, wood trim and framing,
stucco, and f,��steners. The lack of sufficient footing embedment may have contributed to the
damage. The observed damage on the exterior and interior of the residence is cosmetic in nature,
such that the design function of the building has not been compromised.
SDII recomm��nds that the sinkhole conditions be remediated using compaction grout injection to
increase the dc;nsity of the soils and cap the limestone. Following the compaction grouting, 5DII
recommends tl5at the shallow soils around the perimeter of the residence be stabilized through a
program of vertical chemical grout injection. SDll also recommends that the rernediation
program be monitored in order to verify that it is completed in accordance with our
recommendations. The cost of remediation, monitoring, and certification is estimated to be
approximately $59,275.

5.0 LIMITATIONS
5.1 Gro�zind Penetrating Radar
According fo ASTM D6429, GPR is the preferred method for investigating "voids and
sinkholes". This is because the method provides high-resolution data with a minimum of
interference:,. GPR has been used in similar investigations to help identify shallow subsurface
conditions tl�at are frequently associated with karst features. [n many cases, a GPR investigation
has resulted in the identification and mapping of the boundaries of karst features and has helped
characterize their size and geometry. However, this method is limited to the ability of the GPR
unit to collect interpretable data at the project site. There is a possibility that karst features may
exist at the project site and not be detected by the GPR technique due to small size, subsurface
soil conditions, or the occurrence of such karst features below the depth of penetration of the
GPR signal. Note that many GPR anomalies are not sinkhole or karst features. The presence of
an anomaly should not be construed to reflect sinkhole activity simply because of its existence.
5.2 Stan<�lard Penetration Test and Hand Aager Borings
The determi��ation of soil type and conditions was only done fram the ground surface to the
maximum de;pth of the borings. Any changes in subsurface conditions that occur between or
below the bo:rings would not have been detected or reflected in this report.
The maximu�n depth of hand auger borings is 10 feet bls unless otherwise noted.
Soil classific��tions are based upon identifiable textural changes, color changes, changes in
composition, or changes in resistance to penetration at the intervals from which such samples
were collected. Abrupt changes in soil type, as reflected in boring logs and/or cross sections, may
actually repre-,�ent gradual transitions.
Depth to the rvater table is based upon observations made while advancing hand augers and SPT
borings. This depth is an estimate and does not reflect the annual or extreme variations that occur
in this area ciue to fluctuations in rainfall, pumpage, and rates of evapotranspiration. Low
permeability ,;oils or sediments may not allow water to freely enter the borehole and, therefore,
the water table may not be evident or it may only represent a transient condition. The depths are
estimated frorn the immediate land surface, which is not surveyed or tied to a known reference
elevation.
5.3 Site Figures
The measure>;nents used for the preparation of the figures in this report were made with a
fiberglass measuring tape or measuring wheel. Such measurements are usually accurate to within
f5 percent. Right angles were estirnated from existing exterior walls at the house; such angles
are usually accurate to within 5 degrees. Figures in this report were not prepared by a licensed

APPENDIX A
EXPLANATION OF METHODS
Ground Pen�etrating Radar
Ground pene�trating radar (GPR) is a geophysical exploration tool that is used to detect shallow
conditions in the soils adjacent to, and with appropriate conditions, underlying a structure. The
method involves towing an antenna that generates a signal in the radar frequency range. This
signal penetr�.tes the soil and, upon encountering changes in soi] conditions, a portion of the
signal is reflected back to the antenna. By measuring the two-way travel time of this signal as it
returns from .a reflector, the general configuration of soii horizons can be mapped. The depth of
penetration and quality of the data depend on the subsurFace materials.
GPR methods are used to detect unusual soil conditions (anomalies) in the shallow subsurface.
These anom;�lies may reflect sinkhole conditions, underground utilities, changes in soil
composition, water content, or orientation; and many other conditions. SDII tests these
anomalies directly by standard penetration testing, cone penetrometer, or we place a boring
between the anomaly and structure in order to determine if conditions represented by the
anomaly extend to the structure.
GPR methods are described in ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) Method
D6432.
Hand Auger Borings
Hand auger borings are utilized to collect soils near the foundation of the structure and in areas
where sampling of the soils in the shallow subsurface is prudent. The hand auger consists of
bucket-type s,�npler and an extendable handle. The bucket sampler has sharpened tines designed
to cut into th�,; soil. The soil passes through the tines and into a 3 inch cylindrical container from
which the sai��ple is removed. Soil samples are collected in increments of 6 inches. Soil samples
are placed in1��containers and labeled for classification in the Iaboratory.
Hand auger b�orings are collected according to ASTM Method D1452.
Test Pit Exc;7vations
Test pits are excavated at the foundation of investigated structures. If additions have been added
to the house, or if the investigator has reason to expect that the foundation vary around the
structure, more test pits will be excavated. The investigator excavates to the bottom of the
foundation, n��tes the manner of foundation and slab construction, and takes measurements where
possible.
There are no ��ublished standards for test pit excavation.

Push (Hand).Penetrometer Measurements
The hand perietrometer measures the force required to thrust a probe into the soil. The hand
penetrometer has been in use for many years, and experience has shown that there is a strong
correlation be;tween penetrometer readings and the bearing strength of the soil. The farce
required to advance the penetrometer is measured in mass per unit area.
There is no st�indard method for the hand penetrometer.
Standard Penietration Testing
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most widely used method for testing the strength
(bearing capac;ity) of a soil. SPT is a standard method that involves driving a split spoon sampler
into the soil b;y dropping a 140 lb. hammer 30 inches onto an anvil connected to the drill siring.
The number of hammer blows required to drive the spoon in 6-inch inerements is counted(these
are termed blo w counts). For an 18-inch spoon, there are three blow count measurements, which
are recorded as n�/n2/n3 (i.e., 3/4/15). The blow count for the first 6 inches (nl} is considered a
seating blo� count and is not considered a meaningful measurement. The seating blows set the
spoon and caL�se the spoon to pass through any materials that have fallen into the hole or that
have been disturbed by drilling. The second and third blow counts (n2 and n3) are summed (N =
nz + n3) to pr�,,duce the N value. N is measured in blows per foot of penetration. If a 24-inch
spoon is used, the second and third coLmts are used to calculate N. The fourth 6-inch interval is
for added info�-mation and sample recovery;the count is not part of the N determination.
The split spoc�n is a hollow cylinder 2 inches in outside diameter and 1.5 inches inside. The
spoon is split iin half along its length (18 or 24 inches) so that the soil can be recovered after the
spoon is retrie�ved. The spoon is broken open, and the soil can be easily extracted from the spoon
for characteriz��tion.
It is possible t�;� conduct SPT continuously above the water table if the soils do not cave into the
borehole and if ASTM methods are properly followed. Unless there is a risk of encountering
buried utilitie�; or caving is probable, SPT measurements are usually taken continuously to a
depth of 10 fe„t. If encountering a utility is a concern, the first few feet of the borehole may be
hand augered. If caving is a problem, the SPT method utilizes drilling mud (a clay-water
suspension) to stabilize the walls of the borehole. Typically, at 10 feet depth or when the water
table is encouritered,caving is a concern and mud rotary baring begins.
Rotary wash t�oring utilizes a rotating drill bit to cut through the soil. Drilling mud is flushed
down the cent:;r of the drill pipe and bit (drill string), and it rises back to the drilling tub at the
land surface �,here it is recirculated into the drill string. The mud cools the bit, stabilizes the
borehoie wall,r, and flushes cuttings out of the hole. The ASTM method calls for drilling by
rotary wash m��thods for 3.5 feet, then using the split spoon to determine blow counts and collect
soil samples fitir the next 1.5 feet. Therefore, once mud rotary drilling is necessary, one N value
is collected pez 5-foot interval.

SDII utilizes a unique method to track and document circulation of drilling fluid. The Glossar
defines the t�;;rms used to note the condition of circulation,and the SPT boring logs(Appendix C
present the relevant data for each borehole. We track two conditions: flu�d return to the surface
from the bor�;hole and loss of fluid from the borehole into surrounding strata.
If the drill bit becomes clogged or if the clay content of the drilling fluid is hi
increase the I7uid viscosity and prevent the pumps from circulating the liquid, circulation may be
gh enough to
reduced or e liminated. Loss of drilling fluid movement for these reasons does not suggest the
presence of cavities or other sinkhole-related phenomena because the volume of drilling fluid in
the system does not change. SDII's boring logs state the initial flow of drilling fluid through the
system and t.fien track any reductions in flow in order to separate loss of return of the mud to the
surface from within the borehole from loss of the fluid from the borehole into the surrounding
strata.
If the drillinF; fluid flows out of the borehole into the surrounding strata, drilling flwd is lost.
This is knowii as a loss of drilling fluid circulation and the rate at which the fluid flows out of the
borehole into the surrounding strata can be used to understand the nature of the permeable zone
into which th�e liquid flows. If the permeable zone is a cavity or contains large pores, loss of fluid
circulation is rapid. lf the fluid is lost from the borehole slowly, it is probably moving into sand
or other mate:rials that are permeable but not characterized by pore spaces large enough to take
rapid movem,ent of a viscous fluid. The terms used to document losses of circulation are defined
in the Glossary, and the data are presented on the boring logs Appendix C).
At the beginr�ing of each use of the split spoon, the drill string will be placed in the borehole and
allowed to rest on the bottom of the hole for a few seconds, lf the drill string sinks or drops under
its own weigirt, a "weight-of-rod" (WOR) event occurs, and WOR-strength materials have been
encountered. After sufficient time is provided with the spoon resting in the hole, the weight of
the hammer i s added to the static load. Again, the rod, spoon, and hammer may sink or drop to
cause a wei;�;ht-of-hammer" (WOH) event. WOR and WOH events may reflect voids, disturbed
material, or s.�oft soils. The longer the drill string the more weight is piaced on the soils and the
less meaningful is the WOR or WOH event as a diagnostic toot.
The rapidity of the decline during a WOR or WOH event assists in understanding the nature of
the material Ulrough which the drill string passes. As a result, SDIl utilizes a unique method for
describing W'OR or WOH events. For example, a rapid WOR or WOH event is more likely to
reflect penetr���tion of a void (or extremely weak strata) than is a slow downward movement of
the drill string. The terms used to denote the rapidity of movement of the drill string during a
WOR or WO:H event are defined in the Glossary, and the borehole-specific data are presented in
the right hand column of each SPT boring log(Appendix C).
ASTM Meth�>d D 1586 governs the SPT process.
Dynamic Co�ae Penetrometer Test
The dynamic cone penetrometer (DCPT) is a hand-held penetrometer that operates in a fashion
similar to the SPT. The cone point is seated 2 inches into the undisturbed bottom of the auger

map involves laying out a grid inside the house. SDII staff does not move furniture and ot
objects, so the grid is limited to accessible areas. A manometer is then used to deteroor elevation
elevations to i:he nearest 0.]-inch accuracy. The floor elevation pattern is represented her

Normally ac�;epted construction tolerance for the "levelness" of conerete floor slabs is 1 inch in
20 feet. Thi:� translates to approximately 1/4 inch in 5 feet. SDII recommends that a floor slab
elevation ma:p be created if initial site data indicates a slope in excess of 1/4 inch in 5 feet.
The resultin��;map is not prepared by a licensed surveyor and is not to be considered as a survey
as regulated by §472 Florida Statutes. There is no standard method for floor elevation map
preparation.
Soil Classifi�c;ation
All fonnal clescriptions of soil ty.pes, colors, compositions, textures, and other properties are
completed ir� SDII's soils laboratory. The classification process follows ASTM methods and
utilizes Unified Soil Ciassification System (USCS) notation. SDI1 includes both geologic and
USCS descriptions in its soil characterization in order to assist in determination of the origin of
each soil typ��and geologic material and determine the engineering properties of the soil.
For visually�;lassified soils,ASTM Method D2488 is utilized. Method D2487 is utilized for soils
that have beer�subject to Atterberg Limits and gradation(grain size)analysis.
Particle Size Analysis (Gradation Analysis)
Particle size ,.inalyses are performed in SDII's soils laboratory. The simplest method used is wash
gradation usiing the 200-mesh U.S. Standard Sieve. This separates the particles coarser than
0.075 mm fr�am the finer materials. The proportion of the soil fraction finer than the 200-mesh
screen (-200 fraction) is utilized in the USCS soil classification system. For a full grain size or
gradation curWe of sand-sized materials, the dried sandy soil is passed through a nest of sieves. If
grain size data are needed on fine sand, silt, and clay fractions, the hydrometer method is
uti 1 ized.
Appropriate ;�rain size or gradation data are obtained by use of ASTM Method D422. The -200
fraction is determined according to ASTM Method D140.
Moisture Co.ntent,Organic,and Ash Content
For determin,ation of the moisture content of a soil, the soil sarnple is oven dried, and the weight
loss is attribu�ed to the mass of moisture lost from the sample. The moisture content is calculated
by dividing t',rie weight of water in the sample by the dry weight of the soil and then multiplying
by 100 to ob�tain a percentage. The organic and ash contents are determined by loss of weight
upon destruction of the organic material in a furnace. The organic content is the percentage of
mass of the c;lried sample lost upon destruction, and the percent ash is the weight of dry solids
after organic destruction divided by the dry weight of the sample with organics included. This
measurement is also expressed as a percentage.
The percenta�ges of moisture, organics, and ash are determined according to ASTM Method
D2974. AST]�✓I Method 2216 also governs moisture content measurements.

Atterberg Li�mits Data
Atterberg Limits data (Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index) are determined by
measuring the; rnoisture content of a fine-grained soil sample at which it ceases to be plastic and
becomes sem�!-solid (Alastic Limit) and at which it becomes liquid (Liquid Limit). The Plasticity
Index is the d.ifference between the two measurements.
Atterberg Lirr�its data are obtained using ASTM Method D4318.
Damage as a r��sult of shrinking and/or swelling may occur when clayey soils are found to depths
up to approxi��nately 20 feet below the land surface.8 At clay depths over approximately 5 feet
below land sur�face damage typically results from shrinkage. The zone where clay shrinks and/or
swells is know�n as the active zone.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed a classification system for potentially
expansive soils.9 This classification system, which is based on the Atterberg Limits data, is
shown in Tabl;�A-1.

l nconformit,y-An unconformity is a horizon w�thin a sequence of soil,
sediment, or rock that represents exposure and weathering. Typically,
unconformities develop when sea levels are low Epikarst and other karst
features develop on limestone surfaces during episodes of unconfomtity
development.
Unconsolidated - 1 When applied to soils and sediments m a strucmral
sense,the term unconsolidated mdicates that the soil has not completed
the consolidation process and that it is subject to continued increases in
dens�ry, volume reduction, or compaction In practical terms, an
unconsolidated soil or sed�ment is a loose matenal that has a low bearing
strength.2 In geology,an unconsolidated soil or sediment consists of an
aggregate of particles that have not been]ithified or comerted to rock.
See consolidation.

Water table-The uppermost extent of saturated pores m an unconfined
aquifer. The water table forms a surface that more or less parallels the
land surface.
Weathering-The natural process of physically or chemically changing the
structure and/or composition of a material exposed at the land surface.
Wei�ht of hammer-A weight of hammer event occurs during standard
penetration testing when the hammer and drill string(drilling rod and
split spoon sampler)are allowed to rest on the bottom of the borehole and
they sink under their own weight.A weight of hammer event may reflect
a void,naturally weak soils,or excessive weight of drill string.
V1'eight of rod-A weight of rod event occurs during standard penetration
testing when the drill string(drilting rod and spht spoon sampler) are
allowed to rest on the bottom of the borehole and they sink under their
own weight. A weight of rod event may reflect a void,naturally weak
soils,or excessrve weight of dr�ll strmg.
