1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
China Communications Commission Company (CCCC) was engaged by UNRA to undertake design
and build scope of works for roads under package 1 comprising: Paraa (Kisanja)-Park Junction and
Tangi Junction-Paraa-Buliisa Roads Upgrading Project (147Km).
Along these roads there are 6No. bridges to be investigated among which are Waiga Bridge (BH01
and BH02) and Wairingo Bridge (BH03 and BH04) Bridges. For design purposes it is necessary to
understand the ground conditions and engineering properties of the soil underneath the proposed
project area for purposes of design. It was in this light that CCCC commissioned TRETA
ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LIMITED to undertake Geotechnical Investigations along the
proposed bridge sites.
The Geotechnical Investigation exercise was undertaken to confirm the sub surface conditions and
to evaluate the suitability of subsurface soils, including their properties and strength which are
pertinent in the verification of the soil’s capacity to safely handle the expected loadings prior to the
implementation of the construction project.
This report contains brief description of the site, summary of the field work, laboratory testing
programs, test results and their corresponding discussion, and provides recommendations on the
earthwork, foundation designs and excavation work.
The roads in this lot consist of the following road sections that are situated in Masindi district.
I. Paraa (Kisanja)- Park Junction (72km)
II. Sambiya- Murchison Falls (12km)
Paraa (Kisanja) - Park Junction is being developed to ease the exploration and production of oil in

the region. It branches off the Paraa – Kigumba road about 7km from Paraa. The road is within a
rolling terrain and may need realignment at certain locations to smoothen the horizontal alignment.
The existing road width is varied along the route but is on average 6.5m across.
The road has a steep section of about 100m about 32km from Paraa Park Junction that has been
paved. However, this section is deteriorating and will need to be replaced. There are several
potential sources of murrum within the park area, but utilization of these will have to follow
stipulations and requirements from UWA regarding access and restoration among others.
There are four bridges along this route that will need to be replaced. These are;
A bailey bridge
A 24m long and 3.1m wide single span bailey bridge, 36km from Kisanja located at GPS 02º05.833’,
E031º42.973’. Bailey bridges are meant for light traffic of less than 40tons. Therefore, the oil trucks
and other heavier traffic will not be able to use this bridge.
Wairango Bridge
Wairango Bridge is a 30m long and 3.1m wide single span bridge at 40km from Kisanja located at GPS
02º05.833’, E031º42.973’. The bridge lacks regular maintenance such as river protection and dredging
works.
Sambiya Bridge
Sambiya Bridge is located across Sambiya River about 50km from Kisanja at GPS 02º10.709’,
E031º41.828’. It is a composite bridge (steel and concrete) and is 18m long and 3.5m wide. There is
little maintenance on the bridge and siltation has been observed downstream that affects the flow
regimen under the bridge.
The road provides access to Paraa Airfield, Murchison falls, Sambiya River Lodge, Paraa airfield and
Bulaga and Mupiina Ranges among other areas.

The roads in this lot consist of the following road sections that are situated within the Murchison
Falls Conservation Area (MFCA) which is Uganda’s largest protected area.
I. Tangi Junction- Paraa- Buliisa (52km) and
II. Wanseko- Bugungo (23km)
These roads are being developed to ease the exploration and production of oil in the region. The
region is also one of the main tourist attractions in Uganda due to an abundance of wildlife therefore
the roads will also boost income from tourism in the region.
provides access to the following locations among others: Murchison Falls National Park through
Tangi Gate, Bugungu Gate and Chobe; Various lodging facilities such as Chobe Safari Lodge, Paraa
Lodge, Mubako River Lodge, Yebo Safari camp and Nile safari camp; Oil exploration wells namely
Ngege, Kasameme and Kigogole 1; Bugungu airstrip; Bugungu Total camp and Tullow Oil camp.
The first section starts at Tangi junction along the Gulu- Arua Road, about 2km from the Pakwach
Bridge. The road traverses three districts namely Nwoya, Paraa and Buliisa where it terminates. The
84km road section is a gravel road with a width that varies from about 4 to 10m, drain to drain. The
terrain is generally rolling and the existing alignment is bendy in certain sections, which will make it
difficult for long, heavy vehicles to maneuver.

upgraded and widened to accommodate the anticipated traffic when major oil works commence.
Emmi Bridge
Emmi Bridge is a double span reinforced concrete bridge bearing on a stone masonry pier and
abutments. It is located at GPS 02º17.382’, 031º34.050’ on Emmi River, about 21km from Tangi Gate
Bridge and 1.2km from Paraa, along the Pakwach- Paraa link. The existing bridge is 5.5m wide with a
span of 22m, including a pier to pier span of 10m. The piers and abutment are old and the bridge is
not structurally sound, therefore, the Contractor is expected to design and construct a new bridge at
this location.
The width of the river at the current crossing is about 412m from bank to bank and may be increased
to about 520m to enable a better and cost effective bridge to be designed and constructed.

about 8km and 21km long respectively. About 20km of this link is located within the Murchison Falls
National Park.
The site reconnaissance using the odometer of a vehicle revealed that the distances were;
i) 12.5 km for Kibambura -Ndandamire
ii) 57 km for Buliisa- Paraa-Buliisa
The Tangi Junction- Paraa-Buliisa section starts at the Tangi Junction along the Gulu- Arua Highway
and traverses three districts namely Nwoya, Paraa and Buliisa where it terminates. The road
traverses Murchison falls national park and has one ferry crossing at Paara. The Kibambura-
Ndandamire section starts at Kibambura at a junction off the Paara – Buliisa road and terminates at
Ndandamire along Buliisa- Wanseko road.

The Bridges are located in Murchison Falls National Park roughly 150 km from Masindi town along
Masindi-Paraa road. This road spurs off Masindi-Bobi road. They are estimated to be 5.0km apart as
shown on the site location plan Figure 01.
2.2 Site Weather and Climate
Masindi is located in the North western districts, experiences a tropical rainforest climate
characterized by two annual wet seasons; Precipitation is the lowest in January, with an average of
38 mm. Most precipitation falls in April, with an average of 176 mm. At an average temperature of
24.1 °C, February is the hottest month of the year. In August, the average temperature is 21.6 °C. It is
the lowest average temperature of the whole year. Between the driest and wettest months, the
difference in precipitation is 138 mm. The average temperatures vary during the year by 2. 5 °C.
Sites are located in Zone k which receives a mean annual rainfall of 1259mm according to Rainfall
data in Figure 5A and 6B.

Field work included Borehole drilling at Waiga bridge which extended from 1st May 2018 to 6th May
2018; and drilling at Wairingo Bridge which started on 8th May to 13th May, all works having been
executed and conducted in accordance with BS 5930:1999, Code of Practice for Site Investigations.
The field activities included Site reconnaissance, location of Boreholes and Borehole drilling, SPT
testing, soil sampling. The field activities are discussed in detail below.
3.2 Borehole Location
The GPS locations and corresponding elevations of the four (4 Nos.) boreholes are presented in
Table 1 below. The coordinates were obtained in UTM Arc 1960 in region 36N.

WAIRINGO BRIDGE
Four Boreholes were drilled using a portable drilling rig (XY-200) at selected locations as shown in
the Site Aerial view, Figure 2. The rig cutting bits of 90 and 110 mm diameters, were used to bore
through strata consisting of Clay soils mixed with sand, silt and gravel, to recover disturbed and
undisturbed soil samples at various depths. Drilling machine used consists of rods of known length
onto which core barrel for recovering soil samples and SPT mould are attached, driving engine to
drive the rods into the ground, SPT hammer and many other smaller components. Recovered soil
samples were taken for further examination by subjecting them to laboratory testing. The samples
extracted from the subsurface were packed in core boxes for visual examination and logged into the

Roads Upgrading Project (147Km)
The Standard Penetration Tests at the site was performed in the four Boreholes using a standard
split-barrel sampler and in accordance with BS 1377: Part 9: 1990. The test was conducted to
determine the SPT resistances (N-values) that were used to determine the Allowable Bearing
Capacity based on empirical relationships developed by Terzaghi (1967), Meyerhof (1974) and Bowles
(1982). In addition, the test was used to provide an indication of the density and consistency of the
different soil layers encountered.
3.5 Profiling and Logging
Profiling and logging was conducted for each Borehole during drilling exercise and the information
recorded in the Borehole logs. The subsurface conditions and any other relevant parameters and
information were recorded as shown in the Borehole logs, Appendix B.
3.6 Disturbed Soil Sampling
Soils recovered from the Boreholes were visually inspected, identified, labeled and taken to the
laboratory for testing. A representative sample at each depth was selected to cater for the entire
vertical profile. Testing was done according to profile.
3.7 Undisturbed Soil Sampling
Samples were recovered in their natural state by driving cylindrical core samplers of 100 mm in
diameter into the ground at a pre-determined depth interval by 0.5m in each Borehole. The core
sampler was detached from the driving rods after which it was sealed in two polythene bags for both
proper handling and preservation of the insitu conditions until testing. The main objective of
retrieving undisturbed samples was to conduct shear strength and consolidation tests as per BS 1377:
part 7 and ASTM D 2435 respectively.

4 GROUND CONDITIONS
4.1 Introduction
The general soil profile encountered in all the four Boreholes consisted of a mixture of CLAY and
SANDY soils mixed with silts and gravel at various depths. The details of the ground soil conditions
encountered in the profiles of all the boreholes are described on the Borehole Logs, Appendix D.
Some information pertaining to the definitions of the terminology and symbols used in the borehole
logs are provided in the explanation notes, Appendix E for reference. The following is the brief
description of the soil types encountered.
4.2 Top Soil
The top soil is made up of loose organic Clayey peat with roots at Waiga bridge while at Wairingo
bridge it was mainly clayey SAND. It is blackish in colour with thickness ranging between 0-500mm,
though at some locations it was observed to go up to 500mm.
4.2.1 Clay
Clay soil was the second dominant soil type encountered within all the boreholes. It was low plastic
and was found combined with Sand in minute quantities to form different clay combinations; Sandy
lean Clay at 0.0-1.5m,18-19.5m and 21.0-25.0m in BH01 while in BH 02, it was at 12.0-15.0m and 19.5-
25.0m. in BH03 it was only at 5.8-7.0m while in BH 04 it was at1.5-3.0m and 8.0-11.0m.
4.2.2 Sand
Sand was the dominant soil type to be encountered in all the four boreholes and its matrix was held
together with Clay. Clayey Sand was encountered in;

(CCCC) Junction and Tangi Junction-Paraa-Buliisa Roads Upgrading
Project (147Km)
Other types of SAND like Clayey Sand with Gravel and pure SAND were also encountered. For details
Refence should be made to Appendix D for detail in the test reports.
The geology of the Waiga and Wairingo bridges underlain by sedimentary complex formation of
Neogene group belonging to Albertine suite formed during the phanerozoic era(542Ma) according
to the geology mapNA-36-6 updated in June 2012. These are characterized by the presence of
Alluvium, sand, silt and Gravel as shown in Appendix A, Figure 03.
The proposed site lies within zone 1 of the Seismic Zoning of Uganda as shown by the Seismic Map of
Uganda, Figure 4. This seismic zoning implies that the site has low risk of earthquake occurrence
since its located far away from the Rift valley where there are earthquake epicenters.

From Table 4 above, Plasticity Indices ranged between non-plastic(e.g BH02 5.0-11) to 25% as seen
implying that the soils are of non-medium plasticity(Geotechnical engineering handbook,pg 7).
Natural moisture contents ranged from moist to wet as seen from the randomly sampled NMC’s in
Appendix D; summary of classification tests.
The graphs 1-4 below shows the grading of the soil matrix for the samples tested. Its observed that
generally the samples tested had a bigger percentage passing below 50% on sieve 200except BH04

Chemical tests were conducted on soil samples at selected depth in all the four (4 Nos.) boreholes to
assess the concentration of sulphates and chlorides, as well as their acidity or alkalinity. Naturally,
steel in foundations has a tendency of corrosion to convert into its natural state (iron) under low PH
environments. Concrete however provides a passivating oxide layer of PH 12-13 around the steel
reinforcement, which prevents steel corrosion to about 0.1µm per year (an insignificant level).
Exposure of the concrete to soluble chlorides, sulphates and acids results in the destruction of the
oxide layer thus exposing the steel to carrion 1000 times more.
Soluble chloride invasion on concrete is the major cause of corrosion of steel reinforcement. The
chlorides penetrate the oxide layer leaving the steel vulnerable. Table 16 below shows chloride
contents that are enough to cause steel corrosion for different concrete members.

Sulfates can attack concrete by reacting with hydrated compounds in the hardened cement. These
reactions can induce sufficient pressure to disrupt the cement paste, resulting in loss of cohesion and
strength. Resistance to sulfates can best be achieved by using a low water-to-cement ratio and
cement with a limited amount of tricalcium aluminates. As outlined in ASTM C 150, Type II cement
contains less than 8% C3A, and Type V cement contains less than 5%. Cements meeting the ASTM
C1157 requirements of Type MS cement (moderate sulfate resistant) and Type HS cement (high
sulfate resistant) can also be used to provide sulfate resistance, as well as moderate sulfate-resistant
cements per ASTM C 595. Table 06 below shows sulphate contents and recommended sulphate
resistant cement types for expected concrete strengths.
Table 06: Type of Cement Required for Concrete Exposed to Sulfates in Soil or Water
Low PH exposes concrete to acid attack. The acids react with Calcium Hydroxide of Portland Cement,
soluble calcium products are then leached away by aqueous solutions (ACI 201 1992). PH values ≤3
pose severe causes of concrete deterioration.

5.3 Bearing Capacity Results
Bearing Capacity, for the investigated subsurface soil, was evaluated from Standard Penetration Test
and Direct Shear Test (Shear Box).
The drilling equipment used for the project was a Donut Hammer type with a free fall release
mechanism (Energy ration = 60), SPT sample was without Liner (Liner Correction factor = 1),
Borehole diameters varied between 6-120mm (borehole diameter correction factor = 1). The
consistency of the soils encountered were also determined from the corrected SPT N-values in
accordance with tables 15 and 16 presented in Appendix C.
Results of SPT test are presented in Table 5 below including both field and corrected SPT N-values.
The SPT test was conducted a 1.5m, in all the boreholes.

Note that while conducting SPT refusal was established when the field N-values were >50 resulting in
less than 150mm penetration of the SPT split sampler. However, more information pertaining to
refusal conditions is provided in Explanatory Notes; Appendix E. From Table 5 above consistency of
the drilled cohesive soils ranged between firm and hard soils while for cohesionless soils ranged from
loose to dense.
5.3.2 Bearing Capacity of Soils based on Field SPT N- Values using Terzaghi’s approach
The maximum pressures the soils are capable of resisting were estimated from the field SPT N-values
using empirical relations. For purposes of computing the soil’s Bearing Capacity, the following
assumptions were made:

6 CONCLUSIONS
• The top soil is made up of soft organic Clayey peat with roots at Waiga bridge while
at Wairingo bridge it was mainly clayey SAND. It is blackish in colour with thickness
ranging between 0-500mm.
• Clay soil was the second dominant soil type encountered within all the boreholes. It
was low plastic and was found combined with Sand in minute quantities to form
different clay combinations; Sandy lean Clay at 0.0-1.5m,18-19.5m and 21.0-25.0m in
BH01 while in BH 02, it was at 12.0-15.0m and 19.5-25.0m. in BH03 it was only at 5.8-
7.0m while in BH 04 it was at1.5-3.0m and 8.0-11.0m
• Soils were generally neutral to slightly acidic. Sulphate contents were in Trace
amounts (<200mg/l).
• Sand was the dominant soil type to be encountered in all the four boreholes and its
matrix was held together with Clay.
• The proposed site lies within zone 1 of the seismic zoning which implies that the site
has low risk of earthquake occurrence.
• The soils were predominantly coarse with the exception of BH04.
• Natural moisture contents ranged from moist to wet
• consistency of cohesive soils ranged between firm and hard while for cohesionless
soils ranged from loose to dense.

7 RECOMMENDATION
• The choice of the method of bearing capacity and founding depth is entirely
dependent on the specification requirements, design loadings and the choice of the
designer.
• Since the investigated depth did not contain a founding rock combined with
consolidation behavior of the soil strata (over consolidated soils) and depending on
the design loadings, the Design Engineer should determine the founding depth for
the bridge footings.

1. Soil description
The borehole logs are a representation of the soil profile as determined during the field investigations.
The materials analysis and soil conditions were only established at the borehole locations at the time of
drilling implying that the soil conditions represented in the borehole logs are not fully representative of
the subsurface conditions elsewhere across the site.
The soil types likely to be encountered during drilling are described in table 13 and 14 below based on
particle size and percentage of fines:
Table 13: Particle size classification.
These are identified by weight of minor soil component as shown in the table below:

N60 = standard penetration number corrected for field conditions
N = measured penetration number
ŋH = hammer efficiency (%)
ŋB = correction for borehole diameter
ŋS = sampler correction
ŋR = correction for rod length
Tables 18, 19, 20 and 21 below show the correction factors
In addition, for granular soils, Peck et al (1974) (Das, p341) introduced the correction, CN, due to the
overburden pressure to the energy and equipment corrected value N’60 as:

The Sieve analysis test was conducted in accordance to BS 1377: Part 2: 1990. Representative samples
were air dried and washed through a 75µmm BS test sieve. The samples retained on the 75µmm sieve
were sieved through a series of other BS test sieves i.e. 75mm, 53mm, 35.7mm, 28mm, 20mm, 14mm,
10mm, 6.3mm, 5mm, 2.36mm, 2.0mm, 1.18mm, 0.6mm, 0.425mm, 0.3mm, 0.15mm and 0.075mm. The
weight of soil retained on each sieve was recorded. The weights retained on each sieve were
expressed as a percentage of the original weight of the sample and these results were used to plot a
curve of the percentage of the sample passing through a given test sieve against the sieve aperture.
Direct shear test
The test was conducted on Undisturbed samples in accordance to BS 1377 part 7 1990. The purpose of
the test is to obtain Shear Strength parameters; Cohesion (c’, KN/m2) and Angle of Friction (φ’,
Degrees) which are required for the calculation/determination of the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of the
soils for the indicated founding depth. With local shear criteria, these parameters are modified and the
modified parameters used to calculate the bearing capacity. The soil sample confined inside the upper
and lower rigid boxes was subjected to the normal load N. This load was then applied by the yoke
which is placed on the loading cap and by putting weight on the hanger the specimen loaded axially.
The Shear Force T shears the sample; this force was applied by the motorized drive unit and measured
with help of the load ring. The sample was sheared in the unconsolidated drained conditions.
Consolidation test
Consolidation parameters of the undisturbed samples were determined using the one-dimensional
consolidation apparatus in accordance to BS 1377-5: 1990. This provides an understanding of the
probable reduction in volume as a result of excess pore water pressure dissipation of the soil underlying
the proposed site. Three soil specimens of size 75mm diameter and 20mm in thickness from each
respective sample were prepared using Standard Proctor test. The prepared specimens were subjected
to a loading sequence of 20, 40, 80,160, 320 and 2560kN/m2. Readings of the compression gauge were
taken at suitable intervals of time. A plot of voids ratio as ordinate against applied pressure on a
logarithmic scale as abscissa was made for each sample and slope of the graph represents the coefficient
of compressibility (Cc).
The tables 21 and 22 below show the interpretation of the ranges of coefficient of volume Compressibility
(Mv) and Coefficient of Consolidation (Cv) respectively.
