Five test pits, each approximately 5' deep were examined on the site. Additional information to a depth of 8’ was obtained by hand auger boring. The profile was generally uniform throughout, with sand overlying coarse limestone marl to variable depth. This marl horizon becomes unstable when wet, allowing differential settlement to occur. Below this, brown silty sand with odd limestone lumps was penetrated. The proposed foundation practice should be suitable, provided all precautions against excess moisture penetration are adhered to. Maximum safe bearing capacity is of the order of 1-1 ½ tons per sq. ft.
