1.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES

The scope of work includes geotechnical engineering evaluations and development of bridge foundation design and construction recommendations, in satisfaction of the contracted scope of work between the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and Thompson Engineering (TE). 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located at the overpass of I-65 and 15th Avenue North in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. The project includes widening the existing I-65 bridge on its eastern side. In addition the project includes a retaining wall approximately 465 feet in length will be required at the southern end of the bridge. The bridge and retaining wall are identified as Bridge #32 and Retaining Wall #16. This report covers the geotechnical recommendations for Bridge #32, only. The geotechnical recommendations for Retaining Wall #16 are provided in a separate report.

We understand that plans are to construct new single column piers adjacent to the existing piers to support the additional lane on I-65. A TS&L for Bridge #32 was provided which indicated two (2) abutments and two (2) bent locations which will incorporate two additional pile footings for the 12 ft. lane widening. The overall bridge length is 180’-10”. Plate 1 below depicts the existing bridge and immediate surrounding areas. Figures 1 and 2 are appended for reference purposes.

Structural loading information was not available at the time of this report; however the TS&L drawings indicate that the foundations at the abutments and intermediate bents are planned to be constructed with steel H-piles. 3.0 HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The following historical document regarding the project site was provided by the ALDOT bridge division.

BIN No. 14396 Bridge Card (2263)

BIN No. 14396 Foundation (2262) From historical information provided through ALDOT, the existing bridge over 15th Avenue is supported on 35 ton HP 10x42 steel pilings with tip elevations ranging between +522 and +555 feet. 4.0 GEOLOGIC SETTING

The project site is located in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama which is within the Warrior Basin Physiographic District of the Cumberland Plateau Physiographic Section. The district has an altitude range from 350 feet near the Black Warrior River to over 700 feet along several ridges in the basin. Drainage within the basin is primarily west to Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River and to the main channel of Black Warrior River. According to the Geologic Map of Alabama, the project site is overlying the Ketona Dolomite and Copper Ridge Dolomite formations of Cambrian age. The Ketona Dolomite is light-to-medium gray thick bedded coarsely crystalline dolomite. The Copper Ridge Dolomite is light-gray finely to coarsely crystalline, thick-bedded siliceous dolomite. A review of the sinkhole map for Jefferson County, Alabama indicates the project site falls within the area of carbonate rock where sinkholes have been known to occur. Additionally, based on the sinkhole map, the project area is located near known active subsidence or sinkhole activity. Figures 3 and 4 provides excerpts of the Geological Map of Alabama and sinkhole map of Jefferson County representing the project area. 5.0 OBSERVED SITE CONDITIONS

The project site was visited by TE geotechnical engineering personnel as part of the field data collection activities. At the I-65 Bridge and along 15th street, utilities within the immediate vicinity included overhead power lines, underground communication, sewer, storm water and water lines. The majority of the underground lines extend beneath the existing roadway or along the shoulders. Areas immediately located on the east and west sides of the I-65 bridge, were observed to be grassed and steeply sloping away from the edge of the highway. A guardrail extended the full project length along the shoulder of the highway. The bridge slopes beneath the existing bridge were armored with on-grade concrete panels. Fifteenth Avenue is a two-lane, two-way asphalt surfaced roadway. Fencing extends parallel to 15th street and on both sides beneath the bridge. From visual examination, the original bridge structure has already seen a widening of a single lane.

6.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION PROGRAM

Geotechnical drilling crews from Thompson Engineering, and TTL, Inc. (a subcontractor to Thompson Engineering) performed soil test borings and sampling operations on April 20, 2015 through April 23, 2015 and on April 29, 2015. Boring locations were selected by TE, and located in the field by ALDOT. Offsets for the borings were made due to drill rig access and terrain. Due to site terrain restraints at the existing abutment, Bridge Boring BR32-1 was not drilled. Therefore, Retaining Wall Boring RW16-4 is included with this report. Boring locations are shown on the appended Plan and Profile drawings located in Appendix B. ALDOT provided northings, eastings and elevations for the borings as well as stations and offsets per the existing control line for the roadway alignment. Notably, the TS&L Drawings provided abutment and bent stationing for the bridge alignment. Table 1, below, provides comparative boring locations in northing, eastings and both the Roadway and Bridge Stationing.

Note: Both Station offsets are taken from the existing control line; therefore, station offsets are the same for both the Roadway Alignment and the Bridge Alignment

CME 75 and Diedrich D-50 geotechnical drilling rigs, equipped with automatic standard penetration test hammers, were utilized to advance the borings, using hollow stem auger drilling techniques. All boreholes were backfilled to grade upon field work completion. The overall intent of the subsurface exploration program was to establish a site-specific subsurface conditions database. Brief descriptions of the testing protocols are presented below. 6.1 Standard Penetration Test Borings

SPT borings were performed in general accordance with AASHTO T-206 guidelines. Recovered samples were initially examined and visually classified in the field by TE personnel. Samples were returned to TE’s geotechnical laboratory for review by a geotechnical engineer and for additional laboratory testing. The results of the classification and stratification are shown on the appended Test Boring Records.

Report of Geotechnical Consulting Services Birmingham Central Business District (Bridge #32), Jefferson County, AL June 26, 2015 TE Project No.: 15-1101-0099 Page 4 of 8

6.2 Undisturbed Sampling Undisturbed soil specimens were recovered utilizing thin-wall “Shelby” tube sampling equipment at select depths within soft to firm cohesive soil zones. Undisturbed samples were collected in general accordance with AASHTO T-207. The recovered soil samples were sealed and transported to the TE geotechnical laboratory. 6.3 Rock Core Sampling Rock cores were recovered utilizing the NQ wireline system with a diamond cutting head. Rock coring was initiated when the limestone unit was encountered prior to boring termination. Samples were collected per AASHTO T-225 and returned to TE’s geotechnical laboratory. 7.0 LABORATORY TESTING

Samples selected for laboratory testing included soils that were deemed to be within the depths of influence beneath the proposed structures. Laboratory tests included moisture contents, Atterberg Limits, sieve, hydrometer analyses, unconsolidated undrained (U.U.) triaxial and one dimensional consolidation. In addition, soil corrosion tests were performed on select soil samples. Test results are included in the Appendix D of this report. 8.0 SUBSURFACE FINDINGS While establishment of generalized subsurface conditions is useful for the geotechnical engineering evaluation process, such generalizations should be reviewed with caution as they promote extrapolation of recovered data between soil test boring locations. The stratifications shown on the Test Boring Records represent the conditions only at the actual boring locations. The actual transition between soil types may be more gradual than those depicted. Boring Plan and Profile sheets showing the boring locations and subsurface profile information are included in Appendix B. Test Boring Records are included in Appendix C.

8.1 Subsurface Conditions The following soil profile was encountered at the boring locations:

From existing ground surface to depths ranging between 7 and 8 feet, very loose to medium dense sands (SM, SC) and gravels (GP, GC) were sampled. A near surface stiff clay (CL) lens was also encounter in this zone at two of the boring locations.

Below and extending to depths ranging between 38 and 73 feet, very soft to hard clay (CL, CH) and gravel (GC) were encountered. At Boring BR32-2, medium dense to dense sand (SC) and hard silt (ML) was also encountered just above the underlying rock.

Beneath and extending to boring termination depths ranging between 94 and 129 feet, Very Poor to Good Dolomite rock was encountered. Sporadic voids were also encountered in this zone. Please reference the boring logs.

8.2 Groundwater Conditions Due to relatively impermeable characteristics of the soils within the upper horizon on this project site, perched groundwater conditions may develop during the project and temporary dewatering may be required, particularly during the construction of below grade structures.

At the time of the field activities, groundwater was encountered at approximate depths ranging from 15.0 feet to 48.0 feet below existing ground surface. Groundwater was not encountered at Boring RW16-4. Groundwater measurements at the time of borehole completion may be higher or not obtained due to the drilling method used to advance the borehole. Additional delayed groundwater measurements were obtained, whenever possible.

Fluctuations of the groundwater level on this project may be expected to occur seasonally as a result of rainfall, surface runoff, and immediate area construction activities. 8.3 Electrochemical Testing

Electrochemical series soil testing was performed on select samples for environment classification and involves total chlorides, total sulfate, resistivity and pH. ALDOT provided the following soil limit conditions for corrosive environments for steel piles based upon the corrosive environment classification as presented below. Steel Piles:

Resistivity less than 3,000 ohm-cm

pH less than 5 or greater than 10

Chlorides greater than 50 ppm

Sulfates greater than 100 ppm

Summary of the electrochemical test results are summarized in Table 3 below and appended in Appendix D of this report.

The test results indicate the site is a non-aggressive environment within the depths of the proposed foundations. 9.0 BRIDGE FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS

9.1 General

We understand that Steel H-Piles are the preferred foundation types for the abutments and bents, respectively. Shallow foundations are not considered appropriate due to the existence of very soft and soft clays within the soil profile. Drilled shafts were not chosen due to increased cost, and because steel H-piles are consistent with the foundations for the existing bridge. Structural loading information was not available at the time of this report. 9.2 Pile Foundations The recommended pile tip elevations for the H-piles have been selected based upon ALDOT Bridge Bureau guidelines, ALDOT Procedure 398, FHWA NHI-05-042 Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations, NAVFAC DM-7, and TE experience in these formations. Recommended pile tip elevations have been based on a Factor of Safety of 2.0. We recommend that the steel H-piles be driven until refusal on top of the rock formation at approximate elevations as presented in Table A-1, and Appendix A. HP 10x42 piles are not recommended for designs where “drive to refusal” criteria is specified for pile installation. We recommend an allowable load of 45 tons compression for HP 12x53. We recommend Pay Item 505G-0993 Pile Points (Type A, 12”) be welded to the H-pile prior to installation. We do not recommend a compression pile load test for H-pile driven to refusal on top of the rock formation. 9.3 Soil Design Parameters Lateral analysis will be performed by the bridge designers for the piles. Soil design parameters for the abutment and bent locations are provided in Table A-2 in Appendix A. Lateral pile efficiencies may need to be accounted for by the bridge designer and will be dependent on the actual pile spacing. 9.4 Pile Installation Pile installation shall be performed by conventional impact hammer driving to refusal at the top of the rock formation. A pile drivability analysis should be performed based on equipment information provided by the successful piling contractor in order to establish a recommended pile penetration set (minimum blows per foot) criteria for the project, and to ensure that the piles are not damaged from driving operations. Penetration set (blow count) data shall be recorded by a qualified soils inspector during the installation procedures to provide a pile-by-pile correlation of dynamically formulated (empirical) capacities.

9.5 Pile Settlement

Based upon the anticipated structural loadings, soil consistency and pile tip bearing elevations, we estimate total pile settlements of less than 1/4 inch. 9.6 Storm Runoff and Surface Water Control

We recommend positive drainage measures be established and maintained on the project site during construction. Temporary site dewatering measures may be required during excavations for the pile cap or seasonal rain; however this should be determined by the contractor based on field conditions during construction. 9.7 Sinkholes (Limesinks) The project is located in an area of known sinkhole activity and karst topography. Karst topography is characterized by soluble limestone. Over geologic time the limestone dissolves forming cavities. Soil located above the soluble limestone ravels into these cavities forming depressions or holes at the surface. Sinkholes will not always be evident during the field exploration and may be encountered during construction activities. We recommend the following pay items be included for remediation in the event a sinkhole is encountered during construction. If encountered, the lime sink should be constructed in accordance with Section 224 of the Alabama Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, Latest Edition. Pay Item No. 224A, Lime Sink Excavation – per cubic yard Pay Item No. 224C, Special Backfill for Lime Sink, Class 2 Riprap - per ton Pay Item No. 260A, Cement Mortar Flowable Backfill, Mix 3 – per cubic yard 10.0 BRIDGE APPROACHES Typical bridge foundation reports include stability and recommendations for the 50 feet of the approaches on either end of the bridge. 10.1 Slope Stability Analyses We understand that embankment soils on this project will consist of imported A-4 or better material, in accordance with the ALDOT Standard Specifications for Highway Construction Section 210. In addition, we understand the north abutment which will be constructed with 3:1 (H:V) slopes. Based on the type of select fill, the planned side slopes and the recommendations provided below, the factor of safety for slope stability is greater than 1.5. Please reference the Retaining Wall #16 Report for conditional and recommendations for slope stability at the south abutment.

Report of Geotechnical Consulting Services Birmingham Central Business District (Bridge #32), Jefferson County, AL June 26, 2015 TE Project No.: 15-1101-0099 Page 8 of 8

10.2 Recommendations We recommend embankment slopes on this project be constructed with 3:1 (H:V) or flatter slopes to help control surface erosion and facilitate maintenance. We also recommend that prior to fill placement, surface vegetation and topsoil should be removed along with any soft or deleterious materials. Placement of fill on the existing slope should be constructed from the bottom to the top and using a benched approach with minimum of 5 foot wide benching into the existing slope. We recommend the slope should be constructed extending a minimum of five (5) feet beyond the proposed fill limits for uniform compaction. Subsequent to compaction, the overbuilt slope can be cut to the proposed slope design limits. Embankment construction should be constructed in accordance with the Alabama Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, Latest Edition and the project plans. Further, the embankment soils used for the construction of the slopes should be classified as A-4 or better material. We recommend sodding and planting of exposed slopes (permanent and temporary slopes) to mitigate the potential for shallow slope sloughing. It is recommended that rip rap be placed around the flow areas of the embankments to protect against erosion. 10.3 Settlement Considering the anticipated surface loadings on this project, up to 15 feet of embankment at the north abutment, medium to hard clay sub-soils, and the recommended geotechnical site preparation activities, we estimate the total settlement of the embankment slope at the north abutment to be on the order of 1 inch. A significant portion of the settlements should be anticipated to occur coincidental with or shortly after dead load (embankment placement and compaction) application during construction. We recommend construction of the embankments occur during the early phases of the construction process to prevent any potential delays in the construction schedule. 11.0 REPORT LIMITATIONS This Geotechnical Report has been prepared for the exclusive use of the Alabama Department of Transportation for the specific project discussed herein.

Notes: (1) Bridge Stations were taken from TS&L Drawings provided by ALDOT. Please reference Table 1 in the Bridge Foundation Report.. (2) Based on proposed soil finished grade as provided by ALDOT.

(3) Factor of Safety = 2.0 based on ALDOT Procedure. (4) Note that tip elevations are approximate and may vary due to presence of pinnacle rock. (5) Piles shall be driven to refusal. Drive to refusal criteria is defined as 5 blows per ¼ inch as specified in Section 505 of the ALDOT Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. General Notes: Tip elevations may change based upon conditions encountered at the proposed pile location during construction. In addition, we recommend Pay Item 505G-0993 Pile Points (Type A, 12”) be welded to the H-pile prior to installation.

Receipt

The samples were received on 5/6/2015 3:55 PM; the samples arrived in good condition, properly preserved and, where required, on ice.

The temperature of the cooler at receipt was 19.7º C.

HPLC/IC No analytical or quality issues were noted, other than those described in the Definitions/Glossary page.

General Chemistry Method(s) 9050A: The procedure for Resistivity by Method 9050A is applicable to liquid samples and has been modified to provide the enclosed results on the soil matrix. The modification involves a DI Leach of the soil followed by electrometric measurement of the leachate. The values provided are a measure of the leachable component’s resistance for a given mass to volume of water, rather than the resistivity of the soil itself.BR-32-4 S-2 (400-105265-1), BR-32-4 S-10 (400-105265-2) and BR-32-4 S-16 (400-105265-3)
