▪ Drilling 4 boreholes of which,

o 4 boreholes were drilled to 30.00m

▪ Laboratory testing

▪ Preparing GI Interpretative Final Report

Field work started on 17th June 2024 and was completed on 27th June 2024.

The elevations at the drilled borehole’s locations were referred w.r.t National Abu Dhabi Datum (NADD) level.

The site consists of overburden of medium dense to dense, silty, fine Sand followed by Very dense, sandy,
medium to coarse Gravel extending to 7.00m below Existing Ground Level (EGL). The site investigations reveal
that the bedrock is composed of an intercalation of very weak Siltstone and very weak Conglomerate layers with
variable thickness. Rock head was encountered at a depth of 7.00m below EGL.

The ground water depth of 6.65 to 6.75m was encountered in the borehole during drilling.

Based on the proposed structural loads and stratigraphy of the ground encountered from the soil investigation,
Shallow foundations and Deep foundations for various structures can be recommended.

The Allowable Bearing Capacity (ABC), and Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (MSR) for an isolated footing of
maximum width 2.00, and 2.60m at a foundation depth of 1.40m below EGL, for a strip foundation of maximum
width 2.10m at a foundation depth of 1.40m below EGL for Substation, and a raft of maximum width 45.00m at
a foundation depth of 0.50 and 1.00m, above EGL for Majlis are presented in section 7 of the report.

For the proposed structure, the pile cut off level is considered 13.00m below the EGL. The ultimate pile
capacities are provided for piles of 600, 750, and 900mm diameter. Based on the target working loads, pile
lengths, and diameters shall be selected by the designer. The proposed pile type is “bored cast in situ” concrete
piles of C40 class concrete.

No information on the type of reclamation is available. No Cavities or water loss were identified during the
investigation of this borehole.

The earth works recommendations including lateral earth pressure coefficients, dewatering, side slopes, and
slope stability, friction coefficient, and recommendation for fill material are provided in section 8, and a general
recommendation of concrete for foundation, seismicity analysis, and construction supervision are provided in
section 9 of the report.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Upon the instructions of Capital Engineering Consultancy L.L.C, a ground investigation was carried out for
Construction of Two Majlis with Underground Multi-Use-Facilities at Plot No: 6-10-005-13, Sector No: Maadhi,
Zone: Al Tiwayya, Al Ain City, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The purpose of the investigation was to provide information of the ground conditions, particularly to determine
the geological profile, to enable geotechnical parameters to be determined, and to provide geotechnical
recommendations for the proposed development.

Geotechnical investigative works commenced on 17th June 2024 and was completed on 27th June 2024.

This report is a compilation of the factual data obtained from geotechnical field exploration, laboratory testing,
and includes geotechnical design parameters, and engineering recommendations.

1.2 Scope of work

The scope of the ground investigation work is provided in the following table 1.1.

Table 1.1 : Scope of Work

Description Details

- Drilling rotary boreholes which included

- 4 Nos. BH to 30.00m BH01, BH02, BH03, and BH04

- Laboratory testing on selected soil, rock, and water samples
- GI Interpretative Final Report

The work was performed in general accordance with “British Standard BS 5930:2015+A1:2020, Code of practice
for Site Investigations” and other relevant British, and American Standards.

2. SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 General
The site of the proposed development was located at Al Tiwayya, Al Ain City. Ground elevations at the boreholes
were referred with respect to NADD.

The borehole location map is provided in Appendix B1 of the report.

3. GEOLOGY
3.1 Regional Geology

The geology of the United Arab Emirates, and the Arabian Gulf area has been substantially influenced by the
deposition of marine sediments associated with numerous sea level changes during relatively recent geological
time. Except for mountainous regions shared with Oman in the northeast, the country is relatively low-lying,
with near-surface geology dominated by Quaternary to late Pleistocene age, mobile aeolian dune sands,
sabkha, and evaporite deposits.

The geologically stable Arabian Plate is separated from the unstable Iranian Fold Belt by the Arabian Gulf. It is
believed that a tilting of the entire Arabian Plate occurred during the early Permian period, resulting in uplift in
southern Yemen, and depression to the northeast. Crystal deformations, and igneous intrusions occurred in
the northeast because of this movement. Subsequent tectonic movements, peripheral to the folding of the
Iranian Zagros Range, during the Plio-Pleistocene epoch, probably contributed to the formation of both the

Arabian Gulf depression, and the mountainous regions shared by the United Arab Emirates, and Oman in the
northeast.

Variations in sea level over time have resulted in the accumulation of numerous marine limestone formations
over the Arabian landmass.

Aeolian dune sand deposits of Holocene to Pleistocene age dominate the near-surface geology of the Dubai
region. These deposits typically comprise fine-grained silty calcareous sand, which is commonly dense, and
variably cemented beneath a shallow, loose, normally consolidated mobile layer. Although variable, the degree
of cementation generally increases with depth, such that the variably cemented sand grades to predominantly
calcareous sandstone. Very silty, gypsiferous sabkha, and evaporite layers occur occasionally within the
aeolian sand deposits.

Although surficial sabkha deposits are found throughout the coastal belt of the Arabian Gulf, and far inland in
the western, and southern parts of the United Arab Emirates, they are not particularly common in the Dubai
region. Sabkha is an Arabic name used to describe relatively fine-grained, hyper saline, silt, and sand deposits,
which are commonly saturated with brine, and salt encrusted. These deposits form in natural evaporation pans
where saline water, introduced by sea invasion, or elevated saline groundwater, can accumulate at or near
ground surface level, assisted by capillary action.

3.2 Local Geology

The local geology consists of layers of medium dense to dense, silty, fine Sand followed by Very dense, sandy,
medium to coarse Gravel followed by very weak Siltstone and very weak Conglomerate layers.

The local geology is presented as geological cross-sections drawn across the site along borehole locations and
included under Appendix B3 of the report.

4. FIELD WORK
4.1 General

Field work commenced on 17/06/2024 and was completed on 27/06/2024. Exploratory boreholes were
undertaken using one rotary drilling rig. Details of the exploratory boreholes are provided in section 4.3.

Core samples from the investigation were logged, and photographed in Wimpey’s office in AUH, by an
experienced Geologist.

The geotechnical investigation was carried in general accordance with the British Standards, and ASTM
Standards.

4.2 Setting out of exploratory locations

Borehole locations were set up from coordinates provided by the client. Coordinates are with reference to the
Abu Dhabi (AUH) National Grid.

Coordinates, and elevations of boreholes are provided in Appendix B2 of the report.

4.3 Exploratory boreholes

Exploratory boreholes were drilled using WAG-RT 04 drilling rig. In the overburden strata, rotary wash boring
was adopted in conjunction with undertaking standard penetration tests, and sampling at regular intervals. On
encountering refusal strata, rotary coring was adopted.

On completion, boreholes were grouted using a cement-bentonite grout.

4.3.1 Rotary Wash Boring and Coring

The drilling rigs use a mechanical feed top drive, rotary drilling system, driven by hydraulic system, and can drill
to depth of 100m, and above with a PQ wire line system. By varying the rotation speed, the bit pressure, and
flush water pressure, maximum rock core recovery was targeted.

The overburden strata were drilled using rotary wash boring method. At the location of boulders, and pitched
rocks, coring was adopted to drill through. Rotary drilling was carried out in the rock strata using HWF core
barrel of 1.50m length with impregnated diamond drilling bit having 76.0mm inner diameter by the rotary coring
procedure specified in BS 5930: 2015+A1:2020. To ensure core washout was minimum, the first core run was
limited to length of 1.00m or less. In competent rock coring length of 1.50m was adopted. In some formations
layers where recovery was very low or non-existent, SPT tests were undertaken to provide an indication of the
consistency of the strata and obtain a sample via the spit spoon sampler.

In order to assist drilling, and flush out cutting, Bentonite added to water, was used as a flushing medium. The
high viscosity of the flush fluid helped maintain low water pressures on the drilling bit, preventing washout of
weaker zones in the rock, and in the process enhancing core recovery.

Rock core samples obtained from the rotary coring were wrapped in cling film, and stored in wooden boxes built
for the purpose. Consecutive core runs were separated using labeled spacers.

Core box photographs are provided in Annexure E of the report.

4.3.2 Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)

Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were conducted in the overburden strata, at regular intervals in accordance
with British Standard BS 1377: Part 9: 1990, “Methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes”.

The test involved driving a 50mm external diameter thick-walled tube (split spoon sampler) into the bottom of
the borehole with successive blows of a 63.5kg hammer falling freely through 760mm. The sampler is driven
through 6 intervals of 75mm, and the number of blows required to penetrate each interval was recorded. The
aggregate number of blows required to drive the sampler over the final 300mm was termed the “N” value, the
number of blows, and distance driven was recorded on the borehole logs.

Soil samples collected from SPT tests were retained in sealed, plastic bags.

A graph representing the SPT vs Elevation has been provided in Appendix B4 of the report.

4.3.3 Description of Soil and Rock Samples.

Soil and rock core samples were logged, and described in Wimpey’s office in AUH by experienced geologists.
Prior to photographing, the cling film wrapping was cut.
The descriptions of soil, and rock samples were carried out in accordance with the following standards:

▪ BS 5930: 2015+A1:2020 “Code of Practice for Site Investigation”.

▪ Clark and Walker, 1977: Technical note on proposed scheme for the classification, and nomenclature
for use in the engineering description of Middle Eastern sedimentary rocks.

A graph representing the UCS Vs Elevation has been provided in Appendix B5 of the report.
Borehole logs are included in Appendix C3 of the report.

5. LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing and filed testing were undertaken on selected soil, rock, and water samples. All the laboratory
tests were undertaken in Wimpey’s AUH laboratory. Details of the tests undertaken along with the number of
tests performed are provided in the following table 5.1.

correlations obtained for the entire site, and is based on the following assumptions:
▪ The design ground elevation is +258.81m NADD.
▪ The design ground water level is +253.05m NADD (6.65m below EGL).

7.3 Liquefaction Potential analysis

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or
other rapid loading. Liquefaction occurs when the cyclic stress ratio (CSR) exceeds the cyclic resistance ratio
(CRR). The CRR is seen as the soil strength in resisting cyclic motion, whereas the CSR is induced by an
earthquake.

The factor of safety against liquefaction (F.S) is the ratio of CRR to CSR. F.S is the ultimate result of the
liquefaction analysis. If F.S greater than or equal to 1.25, there is no potential of liquefaction; If F.S less than
1.25, there is a potential of liquefaction.

An assessment was undertaken to determine if the subsurface soils are subjected to liquefaction.

7.3.1 Assumptions

a. An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 was considered with a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of
0.11g for the liquefaction analysis.

7.3.2 Liquefaction Analysis at Borehole Locations

The site will be safe against liquefaction potential hazard, as there are no saturated loose sand layers present.

7.4 Recommendations for Shallow Foundations

7.4.1 General

The Ultimate bearing capacity is the maximum vertical pressure that can be applied to the ground surface, at
which point a shear failure mechanism develops in the supporting soil. Dividing the ultimate bearing capacity by
a factor of safety gives you the gross safe bearing capacity. The net safe bearing capacity is the net ultimate
bearing capacity of the soil at shear failure divided by a suitable factor of safety, which is generally three (03).
Whereas the net safe settlement pressure is the maximum load the soil can take before it exceeds the allowable
amount of soil settlement.

The net allowable bearing capacity is equal to either the net safe bearing capacity or the net safe settlement
pressure, whichever is lower. Net allowable bearing capacity is the value which should be considered in the
design and analysis of foundations and is often simply referred to as the ‘allowable bearing capacity’.

Compact granular soils generally can sustain high applied foundation pressures before shear failure will
occur and therefore the allowable bearing pressure will generally be governed by considerations of
permissible settlement (both total and differential) rather than shear failure.

7.4.2 Bearing capacity and elastic settlement Analysis

Allowable bearing capacity for small, isolated footings have been estimated in accordance with classical bearing
capacity equation proposed by Meyerhof. Bearing capacity equation proposed by Meyerhof is provided below.

𝑞𝑢𝑙𝑡 = 𝑐𝑁𝑐 𝑠𝑐 𝑑𝑐 + 𝑞 ′ 𝑁𝑞 𝑠𝑞 𝑑𝑞 + 0.5𝛾𝐵𝑁𝛾 𝑠𝛾 𝑑𝛾

where,

qult = Ultimate bearing capacity (kPa).

B = Width of footing (m).

N = Bearing capacity factors

s = Shape factors

d = Depth factors

Tolerable settlement foundation pressures, for layered, predominantly sandy soils, are determined by
Schmertmann’s method using the following equation.

𝐼𝑧
𝑆𝑒 = 𝐶1 . 𝐶2 . 𝐶3 . 𝑞0 ∑ 𝛥𝑧

where:

C1 = Correction factor for the depth of foundation embedment.

C3 = Correction factor for shape, and size of foundation.

7.4.3 General Recommendations for Construction of Shallow Foundations

The following recommendations considered here are to provide adequate soil strength for supporting the
foundations.

For Foundation resting below EGL:

a. Excavate the ground to a minimum of 0.50m or to the proposed foundation level.

b. Compact the revealed surface using a 20 Tons roller until the ground attains at least 95% of the
Maximum Dry Density (MDD) value from modified proctor test.

c. Conduct Plate load tests at the foundation level to confirm the bearing capacities prior to the foundation
construction works.

d. It is also recommended that the foundation ground should be further inspected by an experienced
engineer.

For Foundation resting on or above EGL:

a. Excavate the ground to a minimum of 0.50m below EGL.

b. Compact the revealed surface using a 20 Tons roller until the ground attains at least 95% of the
Maximum Dry Density (MDD) value from modified proctor test.

c. Place layers of Engineering fill material up to the foundation level in a thickness of 250mm for each. A
minimum of 95% MDD value from modified proctor should be achieved for the engineering fill.

d. Conduct Plate load tests at the foundation level to confirm the bearing capacities prior to the foundation
construction works.

e. It is also recommended that the foundation ground should be further inspected by an experienced
engineer.
The below-mentioned bearing capacities can be achieved only after implementing all the steps mentioned in
section 7.4.3.

7.4.4 Isolated footing

Based on the design parameters, the following table 7.2. provides values of the allowable bearing capacity at a
depth of 1.40m below the EGL for isolated footing. Total settlements for the below given pressures are expected
to be within the tolerable limit with minimal allowable, and differential settlements. Allowable settlement of
isolated footing is considered as 25mm. Conduct Plate load tests at the foundation level to confirm the bearing
capacities prior to the foundation construction works.

If the raft is to be placed close to or below the ground water level, uplift forces should be considered while
designing the raft. It is also recommended to monitor the variation of the ground water for tidal, and seasonal
fluctuations, and any change in the water levels due to dewatering, and construction activities, and take
precautionary measures to counteract uplift if this is going to be an issue.

Note: It is subjected to verification by MASW Survey.

7.5 Recommendations for Deep Foundations (Pile foundations)

This section includes recommendations for pile foundations. Analysis is undertaken for piles with diameters of
600, 750, and 900mm. The proposed pile type is “bored cast in situ” concrete piles of C40 class concrete.

7.5.1 Unit Skin Friction and End Bearing Pressure - Assumptions

▪ Pile shaft resistance and base resistance were calculated using the parameters adopted in by
“MJ Tomilson, Foundation design and construction”.

▪ In compression, factors of safety for shaft resistance were assumed to be 2.5 and factors of safety
for base resistance were assumed to be 3.0.

▪ In tension, the factor of safety for shaft resistance is assumed to be 2.5, whereas base resistance
is eliminated.

▪ The pile diameters taken are 600, 750, and 900mm.

▪ The cut-off level is considered at 13.00m below EGL.

7.5.2 Ultimate Unit Shaft resistance and Ultimate Unit Base Resistance

The ultimate unit shaft resistance and base resistance of piles are calculated based on MJ Tomilson, Foundation
design and construction, 7th edition for the following:

a. The ultimate unit shaft resistance of the Pile is determined by,

𝑓𝑠 = 𝛼 ∗ 𝛽 ∗ 𝑞𝑢𝑐𝑠

Where,

α = Reduction factor related to qucs,, based on Rosenberg & Joureaux

β = Correction factor related to discontinuity spacing in rock mass

qucs = Unconfined compressive strength of the rock mass in MPa

b. The ultimate unit base resistance of the Pile is determined by,

7.5.3 Axial Working Capacity of Piles

Further tuning of side shear, and end bearing pressure could be done upon completion of instrumented static
pile load tests especially that “interface roughness” is a parameter significantly affecting performance in, side
shear, and need to be verified by pile load test.

Using the selected design parameters, the allowable axial pile capacities both in compression, and tension are
calculated, and presented in Appendix A2 of the report.

The ultimate pile capacities are provided for piles of 600, 750, and 900mm diameter. Based on the target working
loads, pile lengths, and diameters shall be selected by the designer.

7.5.4 Recommendations for Piles

The working loads should not exceed the permissible stresses in the concrete itself. Generally, the permissible
stresses in the concrete are taken in the order of 25%F’c to 33%F’c as per BS, and AASHTO respectively.

Theoretical methods give an approximate pile capacity, and advice should be taken from specialist piling
contractors before foundation designs are finalized.

With cast in-situ piles, care must be taken to avoid slumping or necking of concrete as the casing or auger is
withdrawn which could result in reduction in the effective area of the piles, and hence the working load, and the
pile reinforcement could become exposed to serious chemical attack.

Presence of any weak zones/dissolution features shall be recorded during pile construction especially at the
depths where the pile is resting, and adequate measures should be taken to verify the capacity of the pile after
construction during the testing stage.

The integrity of each pile should be checked, using ultrasonic testing technique. To be able to check for possible
slumping or necking, preference should be given to a testing technique that can model the interaction between
the pile, and the soil/rock.

Note: TCR, SCR, RQD values and strata description are to be checked thoroughly from borehole logs by the
design engineer and piling contractor. Care should be taken while designing the pile diameters and Toe levels.
The pile should not rest on the weaker zone of the rock. Those locations having fractures on rock should be
considered while designing the pile. Preventive methods should be considered to avoid concrete loss in those
locations. Consultation of Specialist piling contractors and special ground improvement contractors in this regard
is highly recommending being followed.

7.5.5 Recommended Pile Testing Program

To ensure the proper functioning of piles, the behavior, and structural integrity need to be checked. Some of the
tests should be done on test piles (not to be used after testing), and other tests should be carried out on working
piles during, and after construction. Accordingly, the following testing program is recommended.

Prior to commencing construction of piles, it is highly recommended to carry out static pile load tests on
preliminary test piles. The piles should be fully instrumented with strain gauges. Instrumentation is needed to
establish load distribution along pile length, and accordingly check the calculated skin friction, and end bearing
pressure values. The test load applied should be at least 150% (preferably 200%) of the design working capacity
(Details of test method as per ASTM D1143 or as recommended by the engineer).

Pile integrity test (also known as low strain dynamic test, sonic echo test, and low strain integrity test) is
recommended for 100% of piles with no exception, as a good practice. In a typical pile integrity test, the name
"low strain dynamic test" derives from the fact that when a light impact is applied to a pile it produces a low
strain. The impact produces a compression wave that travels down the pile at a constant wave speed (similarly
to what happens in high strain dynamic testing). Changes in the cross-sectional area - such as a reduction in
diameter - or material - such as a void in concrete - produce wave reflections. This procedure is performed with
a hand-held hammer to generate an impact, an accelerometer or geophone placed on top of the pile to be tested
to measure the response to the hammer impact, and a data acquisition, and interpretation electronic instrument.
Usually, the method is applied to recently constructed piles that are not yet connected to a structure. However,
this method is also used to test the integrity, and to determine the length of piles embedded in structures. This
method is covered under ASTM D5882-00 - Standard Test Method for Low Strain Integrity Testing of Piles.

Important Notes:

• All piles capacities and stiffness provided in this report are for individual piles only.
• Piles group effect on the pile capacities and stiffness shall be considered by the consultant and pilling
contractor.
• Stiffness values provided in the soil report assume of a concrete grade C 40. However, any changes
in the concrete grade shall be adopted by the consultant and geotechnical/ pilling contractor.
• The piles capacities and stiffness shall be reviewed and approved by consultant and geotechnical/
pilling contractor.
• The center-to-center distance between the piles should not be less than 2.5 to 3.0 times the pile
diameter.
• The maximum settlement of the pile should not be greater than 1.00% of the pile dia.

• The use of Bentonite slurry in advancing the pile shaft would cause the formation of bentonite cake
causing smooth interface conditions. The use of other drilling fluids as chemical polymers would cause
some improvement to skin friction. The above single pile capacities were established for the case of
advancing the shaft drilling using special fluids (such as polymer or only water slurry). In case other
drilling fluids to be used (such as bentonite), then the given working loads in compression and uplift
shall be reduced by not less than 20%, unless otherwise confirmed by actual load tests.

7.5.6 Verification of Theoretical Pile Capacities

The design piles capacities determined using the theoretical design methods should be confirmed and
supplemented as work progresses by results of pile load tests, pile installation and driving and if considered
necessary, by in-situ tests. The design length of piles represents the design requirements, but this may be varied
to suit site conditions. Pile load tests are considered the most satisfactory method to assess the carrying capacity
of a pile. It is therefore recommended that such tests be performed either on specially constructed piles installed
before the start of the general construction works or during the foundation construction period. Care must be
taken to ensure that the pile configuration does not lead to overstressing of the ground. British theoretical
methods give an approximate working load and advice should be taken from specialist piling contractors as to
the actual working loads of the various proprietary piles available before foundation designs are finalized. At the
allowable bearing pressure given above, the settlement of piles will be small and differential settlement will be
minimal. However, load-settlement characteristics of piles assumed in design should be checked by random
pile tests. With cast in-situ piles, care must be taken to avoid slumping or necking of concrete as the casing or
auger is withdrawn. If precautions are not taken the effective area of the piles and hence the working load could
be reduced, and the pile reinforcement could become exposed to serious chemical attack. Finally, strict program
of QC should be planned and implemented during pile installation including all tests necessary such as caliper
logging, cross hole sonic, PIT, loading tests on working piles, and all other necessary tests required by the
project specifications and local authority requirements. Close Geotechnical supervision by qualified and
experienced Engineers is also highly recommended during all stages of pile foundation construction and testing.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EARTHWORK

8.1 General

All the earthworks shall be performed in accordance with the following standards in addition to project
specifications:

▪ BS 6031 (2009) – Code of Practice for Earthworks, Section 2-Design and management of
earthworks.

This section includes recommendations for excavations. Since the proposed foundation levels extend to a
greater depth below the existing ground level, temporary retaining systems and dewatering may be required to
assist this excavation.

8.2 Coefficients of Lateral Earth Pressures

The following Table 8.1 represents the recommended lateral earth pressure coefficients at rest, active, and
passive conditions. Earth pressure coefficients are presented without considering any friction between soil and
retaining structures. The value of the at-rest earth pressure coefficient (Ko) for soil is determined using the
formula provided by Jaky (1948), and the active earth pressure coefficient (Ka), and passive earth pressure (Kp)
coefficient are calculated using Rankine’s equation.

8.3 Dewatering

Groundwater was encountered within the depth of 6.65 to 6.75m below the EGL (+253.05 to +252.11m NADD),
during the site investigations.

It is recommended to lower the groundwater level to a safe depth below the required construction level for safe
excavation below the groundwater level. If an effective dewatering system using a well point lowering system
cannot be achieved then alternative methods of constructing the basement should be adopted.

Utmost care should be taken when dewatering due to the presence of loose sands in the marine deposits to
ensure that fines are not removed during pumping since this could result in unpredictable settlements of the
surrounding ground, and associated structures if any.

The dewatering should remain in operation until the weight of the structure is greater than the uplift pressure
exerted by the groundwater returning to its natural level.

Prior to finalizing the design for the building, consultation with specialist dewatering contractors is advisable
regarding the suitability and economy of their proprietary systems. Reference should also be made to CIRIA
Report 113, “Control of groundwater for temporary works”.

8.4 Side Slopes and slope stability for excavations

In the top overburden soils consisting of silty sand/ sandy gravel or gravely sand, a slope of 2H:1V (2m horizontal
to1 m vertical) for the medium dense state of the soil, and 2H:1.4V for the dense state of soil may be adopted.
In order to protect the sides of the slopes pitching using locally available material can be resorted to.

In the cut sections through rock, benching shall be provided for all slopes steeper than 3H:1V. The height
threshold beyond which benching shall be provided during excavation is about 3 to 5m in jointed rock formations.
Vertical unsupported excavation walls in the bedrock can be considered, however, the maximum stable height
should be determined for each case, taking into consideration the thickness of the topping soil, expected
surcharge loads, and geo-mechanical properties of the rock mass among other design parameters.

All excavations more than 1.20m depth shall be designed and executed under the supervision of a geotechnical
engineer. Shoring and dewatering shall be designed and monitored to avoid failure. In case excavation remains
open or adjacent works will take place; sheet piles or berlin walls could be used to support of the excavation.
Tie background anchors may be required to provide stability and limit the deflection of the walls during the
construction of the walls. Ground anchors should be designed to a standard, such as British Standard BS 8081,
“Code of Practice for Ground Anchorages”.

8.5 Friction Coefficient

Generally, the frictional coefficient can be taken as tan ∂, which ∂ is ⅔ of the angle of internal friction of soil in
contact with the concrete. Where the angle of internal friction of soil in contact with concrete is known, the
frictional coefficient can be estimated using this relation.

8.6 Recommendations for Fill and Cut

8.6.1 Suitability of Native Soil as Fill Material

The overburden was consistently classified as Sand and Gravel. To decide the acceptability of excavated soil
as fill material for a purpose, a separate testing program is necessary in accordance with an accepted QA / QC
program, to assess the material acceptance for the purpose which it is required to be reused.

8.6.2 Guidelines for Structural Fill Material

Structural fill is a screened earthen material used to create a strong and stable base. For example, the native
soil at a site may be too weak to support a structure, so the soil is replaced by compacted structural fill to provide
the needed structural support. The guidelines for the structural fill materials are provided in table 8.2 below.

exceed 250 mm. The material should be compacted to 95 % of maximum dry density as defined by BS 1377:
Part 4 (vibrating hammer). The required number of passes will depend on the type and weight of the equipment
used. Vibratory smooth drum rollers are suitable to compact such granular material.

Depending on the type of use, material for subgrade, and road base shall be of specification as outlined in
project specifications. General fill in the areas where no structures are proposed can have more relaxed criteria
as permitted by the project documents.

Compliance testing of compacted fill should include the following:

▪ In situ density measurements using the sand replacement method or nuclear measurements with
suitably calibrated equipment.

▪ Plate load tests to verify achieved stiffness in the different compacted layers.

The primary cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete is corrosion of the reinforcement resulting in extensive
cracking and spalling of concrete cover. Corrosion results from attack by chlorides present either within concrete,
aggregate or in the environment and can only occurs in the presence of both oxygen and water. Thus, this risk
of corrosion can be reduced by assuring that the amounts of chloride in concrete materials are kept to a minimum
and ensuring both adequacy and integrity of the concrete cover.

Sulphate may also be present in concrete materials and in the environment to which concrete is exposed, often
in combination with chlorides. Their main effect is on the concrete itself where the attack leads to internal
expansion and disintegration. Their effect can be reduced by use of certain selected cements or, in extreme
conditions, by protecting the concrete by tanking. However, where sulphates and chlorides occur together,
problems are accentuated because sulphate resisting cements provide less protection to steel against attack
from chlorides.

Where concrete is below the water table there is a tendency for ground water to be drawn in by capillary action.
It then evaporates at a higher level resulting in concentration and crystallization of soluble salts in the surface
layers of the concrete, usually just above ground level, causing spalling.

Chemical analysis on selected soil, and ground water samples were undertaken to determine aggressive
environment for concrete. The results of the chemical tests are presented in the following table 9.1 and are
correlated to determine the Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) Class in accordance with
BRE Special Digest 1, 2005 “Concrete in Aggressive Ground”.
Table 9.1 : Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete

Sulphate Content Chloride Content Lowest Design Sulphate Environment for
pH Class Concrete (ACEC)
Soil (%) Water (%) Soil (%) Water (%) Class

0.010 0.013 0.01 0.14 8 DS-2 AC-2

Based on Table D1 of the BRE Special Digest, the Design Chemical (DC) Class for AC-2 is ‘DC-2’ for a design
life period of 50years, and ‘DC-2’ for design life period of 100 years.

For a DC class of ‘DC-2’, the following table 9.2 provides the concrete qualities to resist chemical attack.

However, it must be noted that the above classification does not reflect the significance of chloride ions in
concrete surroundings. Hence, careful consideration should be given to the recommendations made in CIRIA
Publication 2002 “Guide to the construction of reinforced concrete in the Arabian Peninsula”. According to CIRIA
Special Publication No.31 guidelines, there is no widely accepted view on the concentration as which chlorides
becomes significant in soil or ground water, but limited experience in the gulf region suggests it may be as low
as 0.05% particularly in situations where alternate wetting and drying or capillary rise effect the concrete.

As per CIRIA-SP31, concrete containing pulverized fuels ash (PFA), ground granulated blast furnace slag
(GGBS), and silica fumes (SF) are highly resistant to penetration by chlorides due to their increased binding
capacity, and refined pore structure.

Also, when resistance is needed against both, sulphate, and chlorides, concrete may need to be protected from
the soil, and ground water with a water proofing membrane or tanking, and a compromise must be made on the
type of cement to be used, generally, a cement containing at least 3.5% but not more than9.0% C3A is preferred.
Each situation should be considered on its merit. With this in view, for present site condition, foundation, and
other concrete structures encountering the soil should be constructed using MSRC/ASTM TYPE II mixed with
GGBS/PFA/SF etc.

It is highly stressed that appropriate consultation with a concrete technologist is advised, and that the structural
engineer should be consulted as well prior to adopting a mix design. Moreover, it is to be noted that all concrete
shall be designed to be dense, durable, and have a high impermeability to water, and chloride ions. Concrete
shall be tested at reasonable frequencies.

The following tests should be conducted as minimum requirements to check the durability of the concrete unless
otherwise specified by the consultant.
▪ Water permeability as per DIN (1048)
▪ 30 minutes water absorption as per BS1881 Part 122
▪ Chloride Permeability as per AASHTO T277
▪ Initial Surface Absorption as per BS1881 Part 208

All aspects of design, material, and construction should be taken to ensure the durability of concrete, and
suitable quality assurance schemes should be adopted to ensure material properties for durability.

9.2 Seismicity

Based on the guidelines of Abu Dhabi International Building Code (ADIBC) 2013 Section 1613 Site classes of
subsurface units for earthquake hazard assessment, and seismic loading was determined based on their
engineering properties.

As per 1613.2.2 of IBC-2018, based on the site soil properties, the site shall be classified as site class A, B, C,
D, E or F in accordance with chapter 20 of ASCE 7. The following table 9.3 is adopted from chapter 20 of ASCE

Any profile with more than 10 feet of soil having the following characteristics:
1. Plasticity index PI > 20,
E - 2. Moisture content w  40%, and
3. Undrained shear strength SU < 500 psf

Any profile containing soils having one or more of the following characteristics:
1. Soils vulnerable to potential failure or collapse under seismic loading such
as liquefiable soils, quick and highly sensitive clays, collapsible weakly
cemented soils.
2. Peats and/or highly organic clays (H > 10 feet of peat and/or highly
F - organic clay,
Where,
H = thickness of soil
3. Very high plasticity clays (H > 25 feet with plasticity index PI > 75)
4. Very thick, soft/medium stiff clays (H > 120 feet)

From the ground investigation, the site consists of medium dense to dense, silty, fine Sand followed by Very
dense, sandy, medium to coarse Gravel followed by very weak Siltstone and very weak Conglomerate layers
up to the drilled depth of 30.00m.

Considering the above, the Seismic Site Class C can be adopted for design. However, verification by direct
measurement (using downhole seismic logging or MASW - surface shear wave velocity - tests) is recommended.

The following table 9.4 shows the enhanced performance seismic ground motion parameters for Abu Dhabi.
The MCER spectral response acceleration parameters for short periods (SM S) and at 1 s (SM1), shall be adjusted
for site class effects.

9.3 Construction Supervision

An experienced geotechnical engineer should be present on site, prior to foundation construction, to ensure that
the contact surface is properly prepared, inspects all foundation excavations, and that the exposed subsurface
condition is consistent with design assumptions, and to oversee all earthworks, and foundation construction
activities.

9.4 Report Limitations

• As mentioned in the report, the boreholes made were 125mm in diameter. The information received
from the limited number and the diameter of boreholes may not represent the entire site and may not
reveal all the weak layers or conditions especially when they are localized. Hence no responsibility can
be borne for conditions not revealed by boreholes made on the site. In case of any such findings we
shall be contacted immediately to arrange a site visit by a geotechnical engineer to do an onsite study
of such conditions after which recommendations if it is deemed necessary will be revised.

• The borehole logs and related information represent subsurface conditions only at the specific locations
and times where sampling was conducted.

• Any lines designating the changes between soil and / or rock layers represent approximate boundaries.
The transition between deposits / strata may be gradual or may occur between recovered samples.

• The recommendations and discussions given in this report are based on the subsurface conditions
encountered during the site investigation work and on the results of the field and laboratory testing on
samples obtained from the limited number of boreholes. There may be, however, conditions pertaining
to the site which have not been in to account due to the limited number of boreholes.

• Ground water table encountered on the site is subject to change due to seasonal variation and local
pumping condition.

SPT - Standard Penetration Test. A 50mm diameter split spoon sampler is driven 450mm in the soil using
a 65kg hammer with 760mm drop, and the penetration resistance is expressed as the number of blows
required to obtain 300mm penetration below an initial penetration of 150mm through any disturbed ground
at the bottom of the borehole

SPT(C) - Standard Penetration test with Cone. A test conducted usually in coarse granular soils using the
same procedure as for the SPT but with a 50 mm diameter. 60o apex solid cone fitted to the split spoon sampler.

TCR - Total Core recovery Core recovered as a percentage of length drilled.

SCR - Soil core Recovery. Length of core recovered as solid full diameter core pieces expressed as a
percentage of length drilled.

RQD - Rock quality designation. Length of core recovered as solid full diameter core pieces in lengths greater
than 10cms expressed as a percentage of length drilled.
