The Engineering Directorate Consolidation Complex is undertaking Phase 1A, the construction of the Applied Spaceflight Fabrication Facility (ASFF), a new 37,625 gross square foot high bay industrial manufacturing facility. This facility will consolidate all Structural Engineering Division machining capabilities into a single location, enabling the divestment of Building 10. The ASFF will be located south of Avenue D and east of 2nd Street, within the JSC Historic District, requiring the removal of existing trees and relocation of an underground fire water line. Key design components include subsurface utility extension, grade build-up for storm surge protection, varying steel-fiber reinforced concrete slab thicknesses, and the installation of a 5-ton and a 20-ton bridge crane. The exterior will feature insulated tilt-wall concrete panels to satisfy Historic Preservation requirements, and the facility is designed to achieve two Green Globes Certification. The building foundations and columns are sized to accommodate a future mezzanine structure.

This memorandum from Terracon Consultants, Inc. provides design recommendations for a cast-in-place retaining wall for the NASA JSC EA Ph1a project. The wall, approximately 400 ft long and up to 8 ft high, is located on the east side of Building 70. The memo details soil parameters for shallow footings, including a minimum embedment depth of 2 feet, an allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf, and estimated post-construction settlements. It outlines construction considerations for shallow footings, emphasizing clean bearing areas, removal of loose materials, and timely concrete placement. Recommendations for lateral earth pressures include coefficients for active (0.41) and at-rest (0.74) conditions for fine-grained soils, assuming level backfill. The document also specifies requirements for retaining wall backfill, such as compaction to 95 percent of standard effort and appropriate moisture conditioning. Finally, it recommends subsurface drainage with a perforated drain line surrounded by free-draining granular material to prevent hydrostatic loading.

Terracon Consultants, Inc. provided additional geotechnical engineering recommendations for the NASA Engineering Consolidation Phase 1A project in Houston, Texas, focusing on proposed underground utilities. The report details subsurface conditions, including soil layers like pavement, fat clay, sandy fat clay, and clayey/silty sand, and groundwater observations from two borings. Key recommendations cover temporary groundwater control, suggesting dewatering methods based on excavation depth and soil conditions. Excavation considerations include requirements for trench boxes or shoring for depths over 5 feet, adherence to OSHA standards for sloped excavations, and precautions for equipment operation and material stockpiling near excavations. The report also addresses uplift and lateral earth pressures on buried structures, utility bedding standards for different trench conditions, and backfill specifications for paved and unpaved areas, emphasizing proper material compaction and moisture content.

This Geotechnical Engineering Report for NASA Engineering Consolidation Phase 1A in Houston, Texas, details subsurface conditions and provides recommendations for a new multi-story engineering building. Key findings include the presence of fat and lean clay, with sandy soils at deeper levels, and expansive soils near the surface. The report recommends using drilled straight shafts for foundation support due to lower strength and high compressibility of upper soils, with specific design parameters and construction considerations for these shafts. Earthwork recommendations include removing unsuitable material, preparing subgrades by removing and replacing soils, and using structural fill. Pavement designs for concrete and asphalt systems are provided, contingent on subgrade preparation and lime treatment to mitigate expansive soil effects. The report emphasizes the importance of proper drainage, construction observation, and adherence to recommendations to ensure the project's long-term stability.
