S&ME Project No. 1305-19-022 1 1 Z
1.0 Project and Site Information
Project information is based on an email request from Mr. Hardin along with a Grading Plan (drawing number
Ll 51) dated 3/15/19). We understand North Carolina Central University (NCCU) plans to construct a School of
Business northwest of the intersection of Lawson Street and Alston Avenue in Durham, North Carolina. The
proposed building will be three stories, except in the north and west portion of the building that will be four
stories. Since issuance of our April 2019 geotechnical report, the planned building footprint has shifted eastward,
closer to Alston Avenue. In a phone call with Mr. Elliot Blonshine of S&ME on January 16, 2020, Mr. Bryan
Covington, P.E. of Lynch Mykins Structural Engineers indicated typical column loads in the range of 300 to 400
kips in the north, central and south wings, with maximum column loads of about 550 kips in the west wing.
Based on a telephone conversation between Mr. Covington and Mr. Kevin Nadeau (S&KME) on February 3, 2020,
we understand the central, northern, and southern portions of the building will have a final floor elevation of 371
feet, and the west wing portion of the building will have a final floor elevation of about 358.33 feet. Earlier in
design, the north wing of the building was planned to have a basement level (approx. elevation of 354.67 feet) but
has since been omitted. Existing site elevations within the proposed building footprint range from about 350 to
370 feet. Maximum excavation and fill depths anticipated will be on the order of 5 feet and 14 feet, respectively.
Currently, the site is developed with existing buildings, homes, and associated asphalt -paved parking and drives.
We understand approximately half of the parcels within the proposed development have been acquired while the
remaining parcels have not. Thus, S&ME has been requested to perform an initial geotechnical exploration within
the parcels that have been acquired and then perform a subsequent exploration once the remaining parcels are
acquired.
2.0 Area Geology
The site is located within one of several trough -shaped basins that are present within the Piedmont Physiographic
Province. The basins were formed during the Triassic and early Jurassic periods as a result of faulting and regional
subsidence. Over time, the basins were filled with sediment eroded from the adjacent igneous and metamorphic
formations. Although the basins may be grouped into areas having distinguishable geologic characteristics,
locally the area is simply referred to as the Triassic Basin. Sedimentary sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and
conglomerates are the predominant rock types within the Triassic Basin. Igneous intrusions (dikes and sills) are
present within the sedimentary rocks in many areas. Near the ground surface, Triassic rocks and igneous
intrusions (dikes and sills) are often discontinuous with depth. The Triassic rocks can be present as relatively thin
layers and the intrusions in the form of boulders.
Typical soils within the Triassic Basin consist of silts, clays and clayey/silty sands. Near the surface the silts and
clays are often moderately to highly plastic and can exhibit high shrink/swell characteristics under changing
moisture conditions. Where present, residual soils formed by weathering of igneous intrusions can be of a
softer/wetter consistency than surrounding Triassic sediments (silts and clays).

3.0 Field Exploration
The subsurface exploration included a visual site reconnaissance and performance of 20 soil test borings (B-1
through B-1 5, March 2019) and (B-1 A through B-5A, January 2020). The borings were performed to a combination
of termination and auger refusal depths of approximately 5 to 29.5 feet below the existing ground surface.
Specifically, borings B-3, B-4, B-9, B- 10, B-2A, B-3A, B-4A, and B-5A were performed in the proposed building
footprint to a combination of termination and auger refusal depths of approximately 23.6 to 29.0 feet beneath the
existing ground surface. Borings B-1, B-2, B-5, B-6, B-7, B-8, B-1 1 through B-1 5, and B-1A were performed in
accessible areas just outside of the proposed building footprint to a combination of termination and auger refusal
depths of approximately 5 to 29.5 feet below the existing ground surface. Boring B-1 was auger probed to a depth
of only 5 feet due to inability to raise the tower under overhead utilities. Proposed borings A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5
and A-6 could not be accessed at the time of our exploration due to purchasing agreements having not been
finalized at that time, Boring locations were selected and established in the field by S&ME personnel using a
hand-held GPS device and measuring from existing site features. Approximate test boring locations are shown on
Figure 2 in the Appendix.
Soil test borings were advanced using hollow stem auger drilling procedures with a Diedrich D-50 drill rig
mounted on tracked vehicle and a CME 550X drill rig mounted on an all -terrain vehicle. Within each boring
(except B-1), samples of subsurface soils were typically taken at 2.5-foot intervals above a depth of 10 feet and at
5-foot intervals below 10 feet using a split -spoon sampler. Standard penetration testing was performed in
conjunction with split -spoon sampling in general accordance with ASTM D 1586. A bulk sample of auger cuttings
was obtained from boring B-8 at an approximate depth of 1 to 5 feet. A Shelby tube sample was obtained from a
depth of 3 to 5 feet in boring B-2. At completion of drilling operations, representative portions of split -spoon
samples, and the bulk sample were returned to our laboratory for visual classification and laboratory testing. Soils
were visually classified in general accordance with Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) guidelines.
Test Boring Records and Generalized Subsurface Conditions Profiles (Figures 3A and 313), showing specific
subsurface information from each boring, are included in the Appendix. Stratification lines shown on Test Boring
Records and the Subsurface Profiles are intended to represent approximate depths of changes in soil types.
Naturally, transitional changes in soil types are often gradual and cannot be defined at a particular depth. Ground
surface elevations shown on the Test Boring Records and Subsurface Profiles were estimated from contours
obtained from the site grading plan provided.
4.0 Surface and Subsurface Conditions
4.1 Surface Materials
A surficial layer of topsoil, approximately 1 to 4 inches in thickness, was encountered at the majority of the boring
locations. It should be anticipated that the actual topsoil thicknesses may be greater in unexplored areas. Topsoil
is typically a dark -colored soil material containing roots, fibrous matter, and/or other organic components, and is
unsuitable for engineering purposes. The topsoil depths provided in this report are based on measurements made
based on visual evaluation during drilling and should be considered approximate. We note that the transition

from topsoil to underlying natural soils may be gradual. Actual topsoil depths should be expected to vary across
the site.
Approximately 4 inches of asphalt over 4 inches of stone was encountered in boring 13-2A. No surface material was
encountered at B-15.
4.2 Fill Soils
Fill soils were encountered in borings B-2, B-4, B-6, B-7, B-9, B-1 1, B-1 5, 13-2A, 13-3A, 13-4A and 13-5A to depths of
approximately 3 to 8 feet below the current ground surface. The fill soils generally consisted of clayey gravel,
clayey and silty sands, sandy silts and sandy clays (Unified soil classifications of GW, SC, SM, ML, CL, and CH). Trace
rootlets, trace organics and other deleterious materials, such as brick fragments, were encountered in split -spoon
samples in borings B-4, 13-2A, 13-3A, 13-4A and 13-5A. These materials encountered in the split -spoon samples can
be indicative of unsuitable materials for building support. A layer of washed stone was encountered in boring 13-
3A from about 3 to 4 feet below ground surface. Standard penetration test (SPT) N-values in the existing fill
ranged from weight -of -hammer (WOH) to 26 blows per foot (bpf), with typical values of 8 bpf or less. Typically,
existing fill with SPT values on the order of 8 blows per foot or less are not compacted; compaction is suspect
when SPT values range from 8 to 10 blows per foot; and values in excess of 10 blows per foot are indicative of
compacted fill.
4.3 Residual Soils
Residual soils were encountered below the topsoil and fill soils. Residual soils encountered consisted of loose to
very dense sands with silt, silty sands, and clayey sands (SP-SM, SM and SC) and firm to very hard, low to high
plasticity silts and clays (ML, MH, CL, and CH). SPT N-values within the residual soils ranged from 5 to 81 bpf. Low -
consistency residual soils were encountered in the upper three feet in borings B-3 and B-12. Significant rutting
under the weight of the drill rig occurred near boring B-12 due to the soft, wet near -surface soils. The residual
soils were visually observed as moist to wet.
4.4 Partially Weathered Rock and Auger Refusal
Partially weathered rock (Triassic sandstone and siltstone) was encountered below residual soils in each of the
borings except for B-1. Partially weathered rock is a transitional material between very hard soil and rock which
exhibits standard penetration resistances in excess of 100 blows per foot. Partially weathered rock can be
penetrated with some difficulty by power augers. Auger refusal was encountered in borings B-2, B-15 and 13-4A.
Auger refusal is defined as material that could not be penetrated by the drilling equipment used on the project.
Depths of partially weathered rock (PWR) and auger refusal are shown in the following table.

Standard penetration test values in partially weathered rock ranged from 50 blows in 6 inches of penetration
(50/6") to 50 blows over no apparent penetration (50/0"). Partially weathered rock materials were generally
sampled as silty sands and sandy silts.
4.5 Water Levels
The following table presents the cave depths and water levels observed at time of boring JOB) and 24 hours after
drilling in select borings. The cave depths and water levels for borings B-1 through B-1 5 were recorded during our
field exploration performed in March 2019, and borings 13-1A through 13-5A were recorded in January 2020:

Groundwater elevations can be expected to fluctuate due to seasonal variations in rainfall, evaporation, and other
factors. Additionally, perched water conditions may exist during the typically wetter winter months above less
permeable fine-grained soils and at the interface between overburden soils and partially weathered rock. This
geologic formation is known to have perched water conditions. Based on the above findings at the time of our
exploration, it would appear that groundwater exists below the proposed finish floor elevations.
5.0 Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing included natural moisture content, Atterberg limits (plasticity index), standard Proctor,
California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and consolidation tests. Laboratory tests were conducted on selected split -spoon

samples, a bulk sample of auger cuttings obtained from B-8 at an approximate depth of 1 to 5 feet, and a Shelby
tube sample obtained from B-2 at an approximate depth of 3 to 5 feet. Tests were performed in general
accordance with applicable ASTM test procedures. A summary of the laboratory tests completed for the Lawson
site is below:
Table 5-1 — Laboratory Test Results
Consolidation testing was performed on the Shelby tube sample obtained from B-2 from 3 to 5 feet. The tested
sample was a clayey sand (SC). Testing indicated a compression index of 0.066 and coefficient of consolidation of
about 0.5 square feet per day.
Laboratory test results are included in the Appendix.
6.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
The subsurface exploration indicates that the site is adaptable for the proposed construction of the school
building. Primary geotechnical considerations for this site include:
After stripping surface materials, undercutting and replacing uncompacted/unsuitable existing fill soils
encountered in the upper approximately 3 to 8 feet will be required at some borings locations (see
borings 13-2A, 13-3A, 13-4A, and 13-5A). Note that some of these soils are expected to be removed as part of
initial site grading. Test pits will need to be performed in these areas to determine extent and depth of
the unsuitable materials present within structural areas.
Settlement due to fill loading will need to be allowed to occur prior to foundation construction. Thus,
initial site preparation and mass fill placement will need to be completed and then a waiting period will
need to be budgeted before constructing the foundations and structure. Proceeding with constructing the
structure immediately after fill placement will lead to a combination of settlement due to fill and structure
loading that will be more than tolerable levels. We estimate a waiting period of 30 to 45 days will be
required once the fill materials have been placed and compacted.
February 5, 2020
Geotechnical Exploration Report — Revision 1
NCCU School of Business

S&ME Project No. 1305-19-022 1 1 Z
We recommend foundations supporting columns and walls be supported on spread foundations bearing
on compacted aggregate pier improved bearing material to mitigate the risk of unsatisfactory total and
differential settlement.
More detailed recommendations are provided in the following sections. When reviewing the following
recommendations, please note that the site has been previously developed and fill was encountered within
borings. Our experience with previously developed sites indicates that unforeseen conditions often exist. These
may include areas of poorly compacted fill, deeper deposits of fill, debris within fill, active and abandoned utilities
and others.
Near -surface soils are moisture sensitive, and when wet, will tend to rut and pump under rubber -tired traffic and
provide poor subgrade support for structures and pavements. To reduce potential earthwork problems, site
preparation and grading should be scheduled during the typically drier months of May through October, if
possible. If winter grading is attempted, repair of near -surface soils and possible use of select off -site borrow will
be necessary to adequately prepare subgrades for new construction. Heavy rubber -tired construction equipment
should not be allowed to operate on exposed subgrades during wet conditions. Even during drier periods of the
year, we recommend that exposed subgrades be sloped and sealed at the end of each day to promote runoff and
reduce infiltration from rainfall.
6.1 Earthwork
6.1.1 Stripping and Subgrade Evaluation
Initial site preparation should include demolishing existing buildings and pavements and removing utilities to be
abandoned. We recommend existing underground utilities be removed where present beneath the building
footprint. Site preparation should continue with clearing of trees, grubbing of stumps, stripping of organics and
topsoil, and removing any other deleterious materials. Borings performed for this exploration indicate that topsoil
thicknesses are approximately 1 to 4 inches, but deeper pockets of topsoil could be encountered in other
unexplored areas of the site and should be anticipated where trees are removed. Approximately 4 inches of
asphalt pavement was encountered in boring B-2A, with 4 inches of stone beneath. Other asphalt and concrete
pavements were observed throughout the site for walking paths and driveways. All pavements should be
removed, however existing stone underlying pavements may remain in place provided it is stable under proofroll.
After stripping, exposed subgrades near final subgrade elevations, or in areas requiring fill, should be evaluated.
The evaluation should consist of a representative of the geotechnical engineer observing the proofrolling of the
subgrade using a fully -loaded, tandem -axle dump truck or similarly loaded piece of construction equipment.
Areas which are found to be unstable should be disced/dried/recompacted or undercut and replaced with
compacted structural fill.
6.1.2 Excavations
Borings indicate that excavations will extend through low to moderate consistency existing fill and residual soils.
Based on our understanding of planned grading, partially weathered rock is not expected to be encountered
during site grading.
February 5, 2020
Geotechnical Exploration Report — Revision 1
NCCU School of Business

S&ME Project No. 1305-19-022

Past experience indicates that low to moderate consistency soils can be excavated by routine earth -moving
equipment. That is, mass excavation can be accomplished by bull dozer- pushed scrapers with light to moderate
preloosening of higher consistency soils by tractor -drawn rippers. A moderately heavy front-end loader should be
able to excavate these materials operating basically unassisted. Local excavations for shallow utility trenches and
foundations within soils and fill can likely be accomplished by a conventional backhoe.
Groundwater was encountered at depths between approximately 4.5 (B-2) and 26 feet below the existing ground
surface indicating groundwater will not likely be encountered during excavations. However, additional shallow
water or perched water conditions may be encountered in excavations such at utility trenches in areas of the site,
particularly during wet periods of the year or after heavy rainfall. The contractor should be prepared to control
any water that collects in excavations. The contractor should be responsible for determining water control
measures.
Excavations should be sloped or shored in accordance with local, state and federal regulations, including OSHA
(29 CFR Part 1926) excavation trench safety standards. The contractor is usually responsible for site safety. This
information is provided only as a service and under no circumstances should we be assumed responsible for
construction site safety.
6.1.3 Structural Fill
Structural fill should consist of soils having Unified soil classifications of SW, SM, SC, SP, ML and CL, or ABC stone.
These materials should have standard Proctor maximum dry unit weights of at least 95 pcf and a maximum
plasticity index of 25 percent. Structural fill should be free of trash and debris and contain less than 3 percent
organic material
Structural fill materials should be placed in 8-to 10-inch loose lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the
standard Proctor maximum dry density (MDD) (ASTM D 698), except in the top 12 inches beneath pavements and
building slab where this requirement should be increased to 98 percent. The moisture content of structural fill
should be maintained within 2 percent of its optimum moisture during compaction. Structural fill lifts should be
both compacted and stable.
Fill placement and compaction should be observed by a qualified soil technician working under the supervision of
the geotechnical engineer. An appropriate number of soil density tests should be conducted to confirm that
adequate fill compaction is achieved.
6.1.4 Settlement Due to Fill
As much as 14 feet of fill is anticipated within the proposed building footprint. The weight of new structural fill will
cause underlying soils to consolidate, and the mass weight of the new fill will cause the lower parts of the new fill
to compress as well.
We recommend the fill be placed and compacted and a waiting period then be allowed to occur prior to
foundation construction. We estimate a waiting period of 30 to 45 days will be required. We recommend that a
total of four settlement hubs be installed once the fill operation has been completed in areas where fill depths
exceed 7 feet. The elevation of the settlement hubs should be surveyed by the project surveyor immediately after
February 5, 2020
Geotechnical Exploration Report — Revision 1
NCCU School of Business
Durham, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 1305-19-022
installation and then twice weekly. The settlement readings should be provided to S&ME so a determination can
be made as to when the settlement due to fill has stabilized and foundation construction may proceed.
6.1.5 Subgrade Repair and Improvement Methods
The exposed subgrade can deteriorate and lose support when exposed to construction traffic and adverse
weather conditions. Deterioration can occur in the form or rutting, pumping, freezing, or erosion. We
recommend that during construction, exposed subgrade surfaces be sealed at the end of each day or when wet
weather is forecast. Water should not be allowed to pond on exposed subgrades. Heavy rubber -tired construction
equipment should not be allowed to operate on exposed subgrades during wet conditions.
Immediately prior to floor slab or pavement construction, exposed subgrade soils should be evaluated by
proofrolling to determine their stability. Soils which rut, pump, or deflect under proofrolling should be repaired
prior to ABC stone placement. Repair measures may include scarifying/drying/recompacting, undercutting,
placement of geotextiles, use of chemical additives, or some combination of these. Actual repair measures will be
influenced by project schedule and weather conditions and can only be determined in the field by the
geotechnical engineer.
6.2 Foundation Recommendations
Based on maximum column loads of 550 kips, subsurface conditions encountered, and assuming the site grading
recommendations provided above are followed, we estimate total building settlements could be on the order of
1.5 inches or more. We recommend support of the School of Business building on spread foundations bearing on
compacted aggregate pier improved bearing material.
We recommend foundations supporting building loads be supported on spread foundations bearing on
compacted aggregate pier improved bearing material to mitigate the risk of unsatisfactory total and differential
settlement. Because the bearing material has been improved with the aggregate piers, foundations may be
designed using a preliminary net allowable foundation bearing pressure of 5,000 psf. The ground improvement
program should be designed by an experienced specialty foundation ground improvement contractor who will
provide a final design bearing pressure.
Footings should bear at least 18 inches below exterior grade to avoid frost penetration and develop the design
bearing capacity. Continuous wall footings should be at least 18 inches wide, and isolated column footing should
be at least 24 inches wide. This recommendation is made to prevent a localized or "punching" shear failure
condition which can occur with very narrow footings.
The bottom of all foundation excavations should be observed by S&ME prior to placement of foundation
concrete. Observations should include removal of loose soils from the bearing surface and confirming the
compacted aggregate pier elements exposed in the foundation excavation are consistent with the foundation
improvement plan prepared by the ground improvement contractor

S&ME Project No. 1305-19-022
6.3 Floor Slab
The ground floor slab may be constructed above suitable compacted structural fill or stable residual soils provided
that the recommendations described above are implemented. The slab should be separated from footings to
allow for relative displacement. A modulus of subgrade reaction value (k) of 100 pci may be used to design floor
slabs on properly prepared subgrades provided that at least 6 inches of compacted aggregate base course (ABC)
stone be placed beneath the floor slab to provide more uniform slab support and to reduce damage to subgrade
soils during construction. The ABC stone should be compacted to at least 95% of its modified Proctor maximum
dry density.
Exposure to the environment and construction activities will weaken the floor slab subgrade soils. Therefore, we
recommend that subgrade soils in slab areas be evaluated prior to ABC stone placement. If deterioration of the
soils has occurred, undercutting may be necessary.
6.4 Cast -In -Place Concrete Walls
We recommend that backfill behind the proposed retaining walls meet the requirements described in section 6.1.3
of this report. Recommended backfill parameters for soils meeting these requirements are summarized in the
table below. The lateral earth pressure coefficients presented below assume no wall friction between the wall and
soil backfill, properly compacted backfill, and a level backfill surface.

6.5 Seismic Site Classification and Ground Motion Parameters
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered, the anticipated fill depths, and experience with the area
geology, we recommend Site Class D for use in seismic design at this site in accordance with the 2018 North
Carolina Building Code (2015 IBC with North Carolina Amendments). We recommend that the project be designed
using the ground motion parameters given in the following table:

6.6 Pavement Recommendations
Pavement design procedures are based on AASHTO "Guide for Design of Pavement Structures" (1993) and
associated literature. At the time of this report, traffic loading information was not available. For the purpose of
our analysis we have assumed standard (light) duty pavements will receive passenger vehicle traffic only and up to
30,000 18-kip equivalent single axle loads (ESALs) over a 20-year design life. We have assumed heavy duty
pavements will receive up to 100,000 ESALs over a 20-year design life. Our pavement design analyses were based
on an initial serviceability index of 4.2 (4.5 for concrete) and a terminal serviceability index of 2.0.
6.6.1 Asphalt Pavement
Based on the field testing, and past experience, a design CBR value of 3 percent was used for pavement design.
This CBR value is based on the subgrade soils consisting of silty and clayey soils and the top 12 inches being
uniformly compacted to at least 98% of the soil's standard Proctor VIDD. The table below includes the provided
pavement sections for proposed new pavements:
Table 6-3 - Asphalt Pavement Recommendations
*Should be placed in two lifts.
All materials and construction methods should conform to the 2018 edition of the NCDOT "Standard
Specifications for Roads and Structures." The aggregate base course (ABC) stone should consist of stone meeting
the requirements under Section 520. ABC stone should be compacted to at least 98 percent of the maximum dry
density as determined by the modified Proctor compaction test, AASHTO T- 1 80M as modified by NCDOT. To
confirm that the base course stone has been uniformly compacted, in place density tests should be performed by
a qualified soils technician and the area should be thoroughly proofrolled under his observation.
Asphaltic concrete should conform to Section 610 in the 2018 edition of the NCDOT "Standard Specifications for
Roads and Structures." Sufficient testing and observation should be performed during pavement construction to
confirm that the required thickness, density, and quality requirements of the specifications are achieved.

Although our analysis was based on traffic loading for a 20-year design life, our experience indicates that
pavement maintenance is necessary due to normal weathering of the asphaltic concrete. Normal weathering (i.e.,
oxidation) causes asphalt to become more brittle resulting in loss of tensional strength. This loss in strength can
cause minor cracking which provides access for water infiltration into the stone base and subgrade. As the degree
of saturation of the subgrade increases, the strength of the subgrade decreases leading to pavement failure.
Routine maintenance in the form of sealing, patching, and maintaining proper drainage is required to increase
pavement life. It is not uncommon for overlays to be required after 10 to 12 years.
6.6.2 Concrete Pavement
The concrete pavement design was performed using the same design traffic as in the heavy-duty asphalt
pavement areas (100,000 ESALs). The compressive strength of the concrete was assumed to be 4,000 psi. A
modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pci was used for design assuming 6 inches of compacted ABC stone is
placed beneath the concrete pavement. We have assumed that load transfer across contraction (saw) joints will
be handled by aggregate interlock. ABC should meet the material and compaction requirements stated in the
"Flexible (Asphalt) Pavement" section above. The table below presents our recommended concrete pavement
section thicknesses.
Table 6-4 — Concrete Pavement Recommendations
Material Type Concrete Pavement Design
Air Entrained Concrete (4000 psi) 6.0 inches
Aggregate Base Cou rse (ABC) stone 6.0 inches
Maximum Joint Spacing 12 feet in all directions
Sawjoints should be cut to a depth of at least 1/4 of the thickness of the concrete pavement to promote shrinkage
cracking along the joint. The ABC stone should be compacted to at least 98 percent of its modified Proctor
maximum dry density.

Our conclusions and recommendations are based on limited data from a field exploration program. Subsurface
conditions can vary widely between explored areas. Some variations may not become evident until construction.
If conditions are encountered which appear different than those described in our report, we should be notified.
This report should not be construed to represent subsurface conditions for the entire site.
Unless specifically noted otherwise, our field exploration program did not include an assessment of regulatory
compliance, environmental conditions or pollutants or presence of any biological materials (mold, fungi, bacteria).
If there is a concern about these items, other studies should be performed. S&ME can provide a proposal and
perform these services if requested.
S&ME should be retained to review the final plans and specifications to confirm that earthwork, foundation, and
other recommendations are properly interpreted and implemented. The recommendations in this report are
contingent on S&ME's review of final plans and specifications followed by our observation and monitoring of
earthwork and foundation construction activities.
