4. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING:
INTRODUCTION
This report will show the results of the soil investigation works for the project of developing
a house for the client which is double storeys house. This works package is to design,
construction and completion of the building. The main objective of this report is to
investigate the subsoil conditions of the site and to collect relevant geotechnical parameters
for the foundation design.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the existing soil strata layer condition since the soils are unique and
unpredictable as per location and weather. The engineer should know how important of soil
information for chosen area before it is constructed.
Hence, the under soil layer have surveyed and investigated by the geotechnical engineers for
several methods which has been mentioned in detail below about this soil condition.
DESK STUDY
Geological Maps
This geological maps and reports together with an understanding of the associated
depositional process can enable a preliminary assessment of ground conditions to be made.
The knowledge or information of the existing buildings history around is quite well as no
underground tunnel, no sewage in deep and shallow drainage which is 3 to 5 m below the
ground level.
Existing buildings are apart 40m – 70m around each other. Those building that have been
built for more than 35 years around and going well as no any changes effective soil
conditions. The subsoil information of the site and existing building condition shown, it is
eligible to be aligned the project to construct eco Shopping mall at Jalan Teknologi.

Requirement from authority bodies
Every necessary documents and forms already have been written and submitted to local
authorities for purpose of permission to allow for site investigation and construction within
required time. All of each specific document files have been approved by electricity
authorized body, water-supply Company, Telecommunication Company and sewage line and
others.
In order to plan a proper conservative foundation, structure and cost effective. S.I Engineer
must have sufficient information on the requirements of the buildable structures on the
chosen site. Hence, the soil investigation was carried out to be collected and examined all the
necessary soil information with different parameters by following all the rules and regulation.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work contains two numbers of deep borehole, In-situ tests, groundwater level
monitoring and selected laboratory testing. The field works is carried out from 3rd December
2018 until 3rd March 2019 with the respective equipment as described as follows.
Sub surface exploration was carried out by using a multi speed YWE D90-R wash boring rig
operated by our experienced locally trained driller.
Casing NQ size (89 mm dia.) or HW size (100 mm) was lowered into the borehole to prevent
the collapse of the borehole wall. YWE-D90-R Piston Pump circulated water into the
boreholes to wash up samples for visual examination by our supervisor. Rock coring will be
using NMLC size with core barrel with diamond bit will be carried out if the rock
encountered. The normal drill run shall be 1.5 m with 54 mm diameter core size.
SPT was carried out 1.5m intervals until the termination of the borehole or hitting rock. The
SPT is carried out accordance with test No. 19, B.S 1377: 1975. Basically, the test was
17 | P a g e
conducted by dropping a self-tripping hammer of 63.5kg from a fixed height of 76cm (+2cm)
and 75mm markings are made on the extended rod. According to BS 5930 the number of
blows for initial 15 cm was recorded as the seating drive. The N-value is the number of blows
to penetrate the subsequent 30cm. Nevertheless, if the number of blows ever reached 50 in
test drive, the test was terminated and the corresponding penetration recorded.

SOIL SAMPLING
Disturbed soil sample are extruded from the split-spoon sampler and sealed in air-tight
double layered thick-gauge plastic bags. Undisturbed samples were obtained by jacking thin-
walled tubes into soft cohesive layers and Mazier sampler is used for stiffer soil layer. All
samples were duty labelled and sampling tube are promptly sealed with paraffin wax to
prevent any loss of moisture and stored before dispatch to an approved laboratory for tests.

Discussion
The foundations are in range to design the house. The soil investigation shows that the
shallow foundation according to the load data from the built house. We checked the ultimate
bearing capacity and find the allowable bearing capacity by using the factor of safety 3.0. The
maximum bearing capacity is 544.66 kN/m2 at the foundation F23 and the lowest bearing
capacity is 96.87 kN/m2 at the foundation F18.
The immediate settlement has been checked for all ten foundations. The highest
immediate settlement is at the F22 which is 3.8 mm. The minimum immediate settlement is at
the F18 which is 0.8 mm. These foundations behaviour shows the value that we can be
considered to be design at the area.
All the soil investigation has been through the test of soils as stated in the
introduction.

5. QUANTITY SERVEYING
Estimating and Costing:
To use the method, the building must be first measured by its internal dimensions at each
floor level.
No deductions are made for internal walls, ducts, lifts or stair cases.
The costs of previous similar building are used to establish a sound cost per m 2 that can be
used for calculation of total project cost by using the below expression.
