Further three layers of approved granular fill material (road base) shall be placed in layers (each layer shall be 250mm thick) up to the proposed foundation level of 1.5m below the adjacent asphalt road level such that each layer is compacted to not less than 98% of the maximum dry density of the fill material. > Field density tests (compaction tests) have to be carried out for each compacted layer to confirm the aforementioned percentage of compaction. = es = Based on the above, an allowable bearing pressures of 240 kNim? can be used for raft foundation placed at the above excavated and backfill compacted level. This allowable bearing pressure is obtained using Terzaghi and Peck Chart “Estimating allowable bearing pressure for foundations in sand on basis of results of standard penetration tests", and incorporates a factor of safety of at least 3 on the ultimate bearing pressure, assuming {ground water to rise to the foundation level. > The total settlements under the above loading are estimated to be less than 50mm for raft foundation. This should not cause any problem. » A maximum value of 19,000 kNim* can be used for the modulus of subgrade reaction (K.) of the soil for the design of raft foundation es aa a 8.2/ PILE FOUNDATIONS: Bored cast insitu or continuous flight auger piles are recommended to be used. Table-1 gives the working loads for piles installed at a depth 14.5m below the adjacent asphalt road level into SANDSTONE layers considering that the cut off level of piles may be fixed at 1.5m below the adjacent asphalt road level. Thus, the net (effective) length of the pile is 13.0m. as a These working loads are functions of both point (bearing) resistance and skin friction and are estimated based on the SPT values and unconfined compressive strength of the rock cores extracted from various depths of the boreholes drilled. Moreover, the resulted pile capacities are compared with structural capacities of each pile and taking into consideration the compressive strength of the specified concrete. Es a ‘The working load capacities in tension are function of both the effective weight of the pile (shaft weight) plus the skin friction resistance of that of compression piles neglecting the pullout capacity from base enlargement (assuming piles with straight shaft). Moreover, the resulting pile load capacities are compared with structural capacities of piles in both ‘compression and tension and taking into consideration the compressive strength of the specified concrete. = a 6 Ds/16728 Page 4 of 8 Dibal__ POBox: 10476 Tel 104 7856400 Fax 04 2050400, ‘Abu Dhabi POBox: 90686 Tel. 025557772 Fax 02 5540189 Emit info@techabé.o0 al TEU GSE ETAT GRE VE aoe Ge YAN: OBEY O8eVYVE | Gai AANA fan Sglgh Website: ww toclabé 22=a na = SBE Ss = = ' as = i Lal alge g yell po pall pl Ce TECHNICAL LABORATORY FOR SOIL & BUILDING MATERIAL TESTING In general, the ultimate tension resistance (Py) shall be reduced to the design value (Pa) using suitable safety factor SF: Py = Pu,/ SF, for uplift and heaving, normally safety factors ranging from 1.5-2.5 can be used.

Piling contractors shall be contacted to confirm the working loads for their respective system. * Every pile must be tested for its integrity (quality and homogeneity) by carrying out non-destructive tests like sonic test method. This is necessary to check out the defects or damages (if any) which may occur after installation of piles due to the lateral impacts, movements, soil instability and others. * Care should be taken into account during installation of piles in such case good interactions between the concrete (or grout) and the soil/rock are ensured in order to ‘mobilize optimum friction. Moreover, no disturbance shall be caused to the end bearing strata so as to cause no excessive settlement under initial loading, + The recommended optimal spacing (S) between clustered piles is in the order of (2.6 to 3.5 Diameter of the pile-C/C) for vertical loads, such that: S =30 inch for Friction Piles and S 224 inch for Point Load Piles. Larger pile spacing is usually more efficient for groups carrying lateral and/or dynamic loads. ‘+ The maximum settlement under the above loadings is predicted to be not more than 1% of the pile diameter.

For soft clay and granular soils, a linear increase of soil stiffness with depth is generally recommended as the best approximation.

The information received from the limited number and the stipulated diameter of boreholes may Not represent the entire site and may net reveal all the weak layers or conditions especially when they are localized. Hence no responsibilities can be born for conditions not revealed by boreholes or trial pits made on the site. In case of any such findings we shell be contacted immediately to arrange a site visit by our engineer to make an on site study af such conditions after which recommendations Ifit is deemed necessary will ba revised. 2) There are many methods to calculate the allowable bearing pressures of the soil and there are considerable variations in the values obtained by different methods and hence It ie Practically impossible to fix a single value for a particular site for a given brescth ana type of foundations even after considering the same magnitude for factor of safety. This is because of the many uncertainties in determining, the allowable bearing pressure values. Most of uncertainty components are coming from the complex behavior of the soil, limited investigation of the subsurface conditions, changing environmental conditions in the site, ete, Based on our experience we may be assigning differant values for factor of safety for different areas in UAE and this will be a minimum of 3.0 for shallow foundations and 2.6 for piled foundations, 3) The ground water table reported is expected to vary subject to seasonal variations or any Sewatering process In the Vicinity. Hence it is advisable to install a standpipe Plezometer and monitor the ground water table at regular Intervals until t was established that the water level In borehole had reached equilibrium. At the time of construction it shall be made sure that the excavation levels for foundations are at least 0.3m above the ground water table So thal compaction process at the excavated level can be properly carried out to the required degree mentioned In our report. In case of any difficulty in achieving propar compaction, a 250mm layer thick granular fil material shall be placed and compacted to the required degree ot ‘compaction! 4) Where the construction area levels are less than the proposed foundation level, filing below the foundation level shall be carried out in layers not exceeding 250mm and each layer shall be compacted to at least 95%of the maximum dry density of the soll in case of fine material or to 98% in case of granular fil (road base). The compaction percentages attained shall be confirmed by carrying cut insitu density tests for each compacted layer. For backtils Up to 1.0m, plato load tests shall be carried out to confirm the efficiency of the backfil, In case the backfill exceeds 1.0m cone penetration tests (CPT) shall be carried out to confirm the 5) For excavations deeper than 2.0m, sultable side protections have to be ensured so that the ‘excavation shail not pause a threat to the personnel working on the site or cause any damage to nearby existing bulldings or roads. 6) While carrying out dewatering, it shell be ensured that no excessive settlement ie caused to the nearby structures and the process shall be carried out In stages. Moreover, suitable Precautions have to be taken especially In areas with weak strata.

However, one of the usual reacone for using ‘ther than Ordinary Portiend Cement (OPC) is to reduce the effects of chemical attack on the concrete, Since the following concepts play a crucial role in cement reactions, itis felt necessary to exolain them with respect to CIRIA special publication 31 (CIRIA Guide to Concrets n Construction in the Gulf Region). t + Tricalcium Aluminate (GA) is the component of the cement, which reacts with sulphates ‘and expands. CsA (with high content) reacts with Sulphates and causes undesirable expansion in conerete, while It reacts with Chloride to avoid the expected chloride attack on reinforcement. + Thus, Sulphate-Resisting Portland Cement (SRC) contains less C.A than OPC to reduce the effect of the reaction betwaen CsA and Sulphate, However, CA can also combine with chlorides, which might otherwise cause reinforcement to rust, and current research {grounds increasing concern that where sulphates and chioridee occur together, the use of Sulphate-resisting cement may be inadvisable. Sulphate-rasisting cements do not make concrete immune from Sulphate attack, but only make i better able to withstand moderate concentrations of sulphates. Based on the above, CIRIA has concluded that the use of Ordinary Portland Gement (OPC) Is safer in case of eS + ‘Higher contents of both sulphates and chlorides are occurring together so as to satisfy @ balance in aforementioned Sehaviors, Higher contents of chlorides and lower contents of sulphates are available. Admixtures ere preferable also to be used here fo avold or decrease the possibilty of chlorides (with - high contents) attacking the reinforcement. = = u Otherwise, itis recommended that the use of Sulphate-Resisting Portland Cements (SRC) Is safe when: n ‘+ Lower contents of both sulphates and chlorides are occurring together. * Higher contents of sulphate and lower contents of chlorides are present, 2) ACCEPETANCE LIMITS OF CHLORIDES & TES + Chlorides: As per BS:3148: 1980; Recommended limiting values for total chloride (presence of chlorides in the mixing water or other sources in concrete) by weight o| cement in different types of concrete are Included in 6.3.8 of CP 110: Part 1: 1972. As a i guide, the chloride content of the water should generally not exceed 500 mg of chloride = er Iitre (Le. 0.5 ofl). + Sulphates: As per 8S:3148: 1980; A general guide to the acceptability of sulphates in mixing water is that the sulphate content should not be exceed 1000mg of sulphur trioxide per litre (i.e. 1.0 gil) BRE Digest 260 end CP 110 grade soils and groundwater in five levels of sulphate concentration: 0.2% total sulphate or 1.0 g/l in 2:1 soll water extract is considered significant. 0s/16728 PLATE: 18 I Gg i Pl] Dubai PoBox: 10476 Tar: 04 2856408 Fax: 04 2656400 SEYRET: GBI A TANIA GRE VE ae ge ‘Abu Dhabi P.O Box : 90888 Tel. 02 5557772 Fax:025540169 5 EVAN: GBA AY 200 gh SOAMA tegen sigh Emal:info@techiab6.20 Website: wwnntochabé 22= ss a | Q Ee il TECHNICAL LABORATORY FOR SOIL & BUILDING MATERIAL TESTING @)— BeajaM.
