Natlol1\/ide Insurance, - Center for Radiation Oncology, 7315 Green Slope Drive, Zephyrhills, FL Lab No,. 190442 Page 4 · raised rear deck from the east wall. There were several hairline to 1/32" wide cracks below and extending from the lower corners of the west windows of the offices, lab and physics rooms. There were a couple cracks in the precast concrete windowsills that appeared to occur at joint seams. · West Elevation - There were multiple hairline cracks in the lower mortar joints of the west face of the masonry wall that encloses the air conditioning units that seems older in nature. There was up to 1/8" separation cracking at the joint of the north masonry wall and the northwest corner of the building. There were several hairline cracks in the stem wall and lower portion of the wall that appear to be older in nature. There was a 1/16" wide vertical crack along the exterior wall of the block room. There were multiple hairline to 1/32" wide cracks in most of the mortar joint of the raised rear deck, all of which appeared to be older in nature. It was observed that the northern portion of this wall steps out at the base and appears to have been thickened by design, possibly due to the extra load of the lead lined radiation room or because of the significant amount of fill within the stem wall on this side of the building. It also appears that some type of grade beam has been added at the base of this portion of the wall to provide additional support. It is not known if this was due to a slope stability issue that arose during construction of the building or was added at a later time. Our inspection of the interior of the building noted the following. · Foyer - There was a 3/32" wide crack in several of the floor tiles. There was up to 1/16"cracking in a small decorative glass block wall knee located to the south of the entrance that overlies the tile crack. · Dark Room - There was hairline separation cracking along the doorframe of the south utility room door. · Central Hallway - There was deformation and cracking in a ceiling panel near a light fixture. · Simulation Room - There was evidence of water intrusion (water staining) along the lower portion of the east wall. For reference, we have included color photographs of the building and some of the damaged areas, an area map showing the site location (Figure 1.) and a site schematic (Figure 2.) showing pertinent features and our testing locations. Review of Published Data Soil Survey A review of the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) publication titled Soil Survey of Pasco County, Florida, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1982 was used to determine the type soils that are found beneath subject site. The survey lists the soils found beneath the subject property and the immediate surrounding area as being Arredondo fine sand. The survey lists Arredondo fine sand as a nearly level to gently sloping, well-drained soil found as irregular shaped areas on the uplands. The slopes are smooth to concave and typically have 0% t05 5% slope. The water table is more than 6.0 feet deep.
