B100 EMERGENCY ROOM EXPANSION
Seattle, Washington
Owner: VA Puget Sound Health Care System
This project involved geotechnical
engineering study for a future emergency room expansion for VA Puget
Sound Health Care System. Our scope
of services included a reconnaissance of the site by the geotechnical
engineer, a review of geologic literature, and drilling of two borings.
The geotechnical engineering services were performed by ORA to provide
the following information:
-
seismic
design considerations including liquefaction potential,
-
suitable
foundation systems with estimated settlements,
-
allowable
bearing capacity for the design of shallow foundations, if
appropriate,
-
recommendations for the design of deep foundation, if appropriate,
-
lateral
earth pressures and friction coefficients for the design of
below-grade walls and retaining walls,
-
influence
of groundwater on the development, and
-
site
preparation and earthwork recommendations.
We are also
engaged to provided on-call geotechnical and structural inspection
services during construction.
