Guilarte Residence-Claim No.354110 ACE Report No. 100091.1 Page No.8 � exterior face of the exterior wall. Assuming the sai e projection of the footing beyond the interior face of the exterior wall,the footing is estimated to have a widt of 16 inches. Test pit TP-2 was excavated along the front ' side near the front right coiner of the residence and xposed a 10-inch thick spread footing bearing at a depth of approximately 21 inches. The footing extended 4 in ies beyond the exterior face of the exterior wall. Assuming the same projection of the footing beyond the interi r face of the exterior wall,the footing is estimated to have a width of 16 inches. The locations of the test pits ar shown on the Boring Location Plan in�pe»dix D.Fi.�zr�•e 1. Groundwater The groundwater level could not be determined du to the presence of the shallow clayey soils. The physical properties of clayey soils prevent accurate groundw ter level measurements. Clayey soils,as well as seasonal rainfall variations, rainfall runoff, and other site-s ecific factors, may cause groundwater levels to fluctuate significantly. Floor Level Survep Results The results of the floor level survey show that the s ab slopes slightly downward toward the right rear corner. The difference between the highest and lowest ineas red points was approximately 1.0 inch. The results of the separate converted garage survey show that the slab slopes approximately 1.8 inches downward from the right rear corner toward the front. Garages are typically c nstructed to slope downward toward the overhead door and � away froin the struchire to allow for drainage. The urvey performed of the enclosed porch shows that the slab slopes approxunately 2.6 inches downward from th front to the rear. Similarly to garages,porches are usually constructed to slope downward away from the stn cture to allow water to drain away. The detailed results showing lines of equal elevation are shown on A zdix D Fi n•e 4. Laboratorv Test Results Laboratory tests were perfonned on eight soil sain les to fiirther define their physical properties and to aid in classification.
