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

10 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

11 Typical Stratigraphic Layers Bay Mud –Soft clay and silt with occasional sand lenses and organic material –Low strength and high compressibility

12 Typical Stratigraphic Layers Colma Formation –Dense to very dense sand with occasional clay lenses –Generally contains up to 20% fines (silt and clay) –High strength and low compressibility

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

14 Typical Stratigraphic Layers Colluvium –Dense sands and gravels and stiff to hard clays –High strength and low compressibility

15 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
