  7. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • Fill • Bay Mud • Colma Sand • Old Bay Clay • Colluvium/Alluvium • Franciscan Complex Bedrock

  8. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • Fill • Non-engineered, generally loose to medium dense • Heterogeneous material consisting of sand, clay, silt, gravel, bedrock fragments, abandoned structures, construction debris, and organics

  9. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • Bay Mud • Soft clay and silt with occasional sand lenses and organic material • Low strength and high compressibility

  10. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • ColmaFormation • Dense to very dense sand with occasional clay lenses • Generally contains up to 20% fines (silt and clay) • High strength and low compressibility

  11. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • Old Bay Clay • Stiff to hard clay and silt • Occasionally contains sand and gravel lenses • Moderate strength and moderate compressibility

  12. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • Colluvium • Dense sands and gravels and stiff to hard clays • High strength and low compressibility

  13. Typical Stratigraphic Layers • Franciscan Complex bedrock • Deformed bedding planes and shear zones due to seismic activity • Highly variable in hardness & strength • Deeply to moderately weathered • High strength and low compressibility
