NOTES RELATING TO THIS REPORT

 

 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

These notes are provided by Soil Surveys Engineering
Pty Limited (the Company) to complement the
geotechnical report in regard to classification methods
and field procedures. Not all notes are necessarily
relevant to all reports.

The ground is a product of continuing natural and
man-made processes and therefore exhibits a variety
of characteristics and properties which vary from place
to place and can change with time. Geotechnical
engineering involves gathering and assimilating limited
facts about these characteristics and properties in
order to understand or predict the behaviour of the
ground on a particular site under certain conditions.
This report may contain such facts obtained by
excavation, probing, sampling, testing or

relevant only to the ground at the place where and at
the time when the investigation was carried out.
DESCRIPTION AND CLASSIFICATION METHODS
Soils - The methods of description and classification of
soils and rocks used in this report are based on
Australian Standard 14726-1993 (Geotechnical Site
Investigations), where appropriate.
descriptions cover the following properties - soil or tock
type, colour, structure, strength or density, and
inclusions. Identification and classification of soil and
rock involves judgement and the Company infers
to the extent that is common in current

geotechnical practice.

Soil types are described according to the dominant
particle size and behaviour as set out in AS
1726-1993.

Cohesive soils are classified on the basis of strength
(consistency) either by use of hand penetrometer,
vane, laboratory testing oF engineering
The strength terms are defined in

AS1726-1993 Table A4.

Non-cohesive soils are classified on the basis of
relative density usually based on insitu testing or
engineering examination (see AS1726-1993 Table A5).
Rocks - Rock types are classified by their geological
names (AS1726-1993 Table A6), together with

descriptive terms regarding weathering (AS1726-1993
Table AQ), strength (refer Table 1

below), defects (AS1 726-1993 Table A10), etc. Where
strength testing (ie Point Loads) is carried out,
AS1726-1993 Table A8 is used. Where relevant,
further information regarding rock classification is
attached.

SAMPLING

Sampling is carried out during drilling or from other

 

excavations to allow engineering examination (and
laboratory testing where required) of the soil or rock.

Disturbed samples taken during drilling provide
information on plasticity, grain size, colour, moisture
content, minor constituents and, depending upon

sample disturbance, (information on strength and
structure).
Undisturbed samples are taken by pushing a thin

walled sample tube, usually 50mm diameter (U50), into
the soil and withdrawing it with a sample of the soil
contained in a relatively undisturbed state. Such
samples yield information on structure and strength,
and are necessary for laboratory determination of
shear strength, volume change potential and
compressibility. Undisturbed sampling is generally
effective only in cohesive soils.

Details of the type and method of sampling used are

given on the attached logs.

INVESTIGATION METHODS
The following is a brief summary of investigation
methods currently adopted by the Company and some
comments on their use and application.
Test Pits - These are normally excavated with a
backhoe or a_ tracked excavator, allowing close
examination of the insitu soils if it is safe to descend
into the pit. The depth of penetration is limited to about
3m for a backhoe and up to 6m for an excavator.
Limitations of test pits are the problems associated
with disturbance and difficulty of reinstatement and the
consequent effects on close-by structures. Care must
be taken if construction is to be carried out near test pit
locations to either properly recompact the backfill
during construction or to design and construct the
structure so as not to be adversely affected by poorly
compacted backfill at the test pit location.
Hand Auger Drilling - A borehole of 50 to 100mm
diameter is advanced by manually operated
equipment. Refusal of the augers can occur on a
variety of materials such as hard clay, gravel or rock
fragments and does not necessarily indicate rock level.
Continuous Spiral Flight Augers - The borehole is
advanced using 75 to 300 mm diameter continuous
spiral flight augers, which are withdrawn at intervals to
allow sampling or insitu testing. This is a relatively
economical means of drilling in clays and in sands
above the water table. Samples are returned to the
surface by the flights or may be collected after
withdrawal of the augers. Information from the drilling
(as distinct from specific sampling) is of relatively lower
reliability due to remoulding, inclusion of cuttings from
above or softening of samples by groundwater, or
uncertainties as to the original depth of the samples.
Augering below the groundwater table has a lower
reliability than augering above the water table. Various
drill bits are attached to the base of the augers during
the drilling. The depth of refusal of the different bit
types can provide information as to the strength of the
material encountered. Generally two different bit types
are used. The 'V' bit is a V shaped steel bit and the
/ ‘TC' bit is a tungsten carbide tipped screw type bit.
Wash Boring - The borehole is usually advanced by a
rotary bit with water or fluid pumped down the hollow
drill rods and returned up in the space between the

rods and the soil or casing, carrying the drill cuttings.
Only major changes in stratification can be determined
from the cuttings, together with some information from
“feel” and rate of penetration. More accurate
information on soil strata is gained by regular testing
and sampling using the Standard Penetration Test
(SPT) and undisturbed thin walled tube samples (U50).
Mud_ Stabilized Drilling - Either Wash Boring or
Continuous Core Drilling can use drilling mud as a
circulating fluid to stabilize the borehole. The term
"mud" encompasses a range of products ranging from
bentonite to polymers such as Revert or Biogel. The
mud’ tends to mask the cuttings and_ reliable
identification is only possible from regular intact
sampling (eg. from SPT and U50 samples) or from
rock coring, etc.

Continuous Core Drilling - A continuous core sample
is obtained using a diamond or tungsten carbide
tipped core barrel. Provided full core recovery is
achieved (which is not always possible in very weak
rocks and granular soils), this technique provides a
very reliable method of investigation. In rocks, NMLC
coring (nominal 52 mm diameter) is usually used with
water flush. The length of core recovered is compared
to the length drilled and any length not recovered is
shown as CORE LOSS. The location of losses is
determined on site by the supervisor. If the location of
the loss is uncertain, it is placed at the top end of the
run, when the core is placed in a storage tray and
recorded on the log.

Standard Penetration Tests - Standard Penetration
Tests (SPT) are used mainly in non-cohesive soils, but
can also be used in cohesive soils, as a means of
indicating density or strength. The test procedure is
described in Australian Standard 4289, "Methods of
Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes" - Test 6.3.1.
The test is carried out in a borehole by driving a 50mm
diameter split sample tube with a tapered shoe, under
the impact of a 63 kg hammer with a free fall of 760

mm. It is normal for the tube to be driven in three

penetration may not be practicable and the test is

discontinued at a reduced penetration.

In the case where full penetration is obtained with

successive blow counts for each 150 mm of, say 4, 6

and 7 blows, the record shows,

4,6,7 N=13

In a case where the test is discontinued short of full

penetration, say after 15 blows for the first 150 mm
and 30 blows for the next 40 mm, the record shows:

15, 30/40mm

The results of the test can be related empirically to the

engineering properties of the soil.

Occasionally, the drop hammer is used to drive 50mm

diameter thin walled sample tubes (U50) in clays. In

such circumstances, it is noted on the borehole logs.

A modification to the SPT test is where the same

driving system is used with a solid 60° tipped steel

cone of the same diameter as the SPT hollow sampler.
The solid cone can be continuously driven for some

distance in soft clays or loose sands, or may be used
where damage would otherwise occur to the SPT. The
results of this Solid SPT are shown as "N" on the
borehole logs, together with the number of blows per
450 mm penetration.
Cone Penetration Tests - Test Method - Cone
Penetration Tests (CPT) are carried out in accordance
with AS 1289 Test 6.5.1-1977, using an electrical
friction-cone penetrometer.
The test essentially comprises the measurement of
resistance to penetration of a cone of 35.7 mm
diameter pushed into the soil at a rate of 10-20 mm per
second by hydraulic force. The resistance to
penetration is recorded in terms of pressure on the end
area of the cone (cone resistance, Ge in MPa) and
friction on the side of the 435 mm long sleeve
immediately above the top of the cone (friction
resistance, f., in KPa). These forces are measured by
electrical transducers (strain gauges) within the cone
device. The ratio between friction resistance and cone
resistance is also calculated as a percentage, ie.-
Friction Ratio (FR) = eee ence a¢ GPa) clon Resistance fe (7-102
The friction ratio, FR, is generally low in sands (less
than 1% or 2%) and generally higher in clays (say 3%
or more). The interpretation of sandy clays, clayey
sands and material with a high silt content is more

difficult, but intermediate values (between 1% and 3%)
would be expected. Highly organic clays and peats
generally have a friction tatio in excess of 5%.

Static cone data is recorded in the field on disc for later
presentation using computer aided drafting.

The equipment can be operated from any conventional
drill rig. A total applied load in the range of 4 to 10
tonnes is required for practical purposes, although
lighter loads may be used. The cone penetrometers
are available with various capacities of cone resistance
ranging up to 100 MPa for general purpose
investigations, while a range of 0 to 10 MPa can be
used where more sensitive investigations of soft clay
are required.

The cone resistance value provides a continuous
measure of soil strength or density, and together with
the friction ratio, provide very useful indications of the
presence of narrow bands of geotechnically significant
layers such as thin, soft clay layers or lenses of sand
which might otherwise be missed using conventional
drilling methods.

The lithology of the encountered soils is interpreted
from static cone data and is generally presented on the
static cone log sheets.

It is important to note that the lithology is interpreted
information and is based on research by Schmertmann
(1970), Sanglerat (1972), Robinson and Campinalli
(1986), modified to suit local conditions as indicated by
borehole information and laboratory testing.

As soils generally change gradually it is sometimes
difficult to accurately describe depths of strata
changes, although greater accuracy is obtained with
the static cone compared with conventional drilling. In
addition, friction ratios decrease in accuracy with low
cone resistance values, and in desiccated soils. As a
result, some overlap and minor discrepancies may
exist between static cone and nearby borehole
information.

Portable Dynamic Cone Penetrometers - Portable
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests are carried
out by driving a rod into the ground with a falling weight
hammer and measuring the blows for successive

400mm increments of penetration.

The DCP comprises a Cone of 20 mm diameter with
30 degree taper attached to steel rods of smaller
section.

The cone end is driven with a 9 kg hammer falling 510
mm (AS. 1289 Test 6.3.2). The test was developed
initially for pavement subgrade investigations, and
empirical correlations of the test results with California
Bearing Ratio have been published by various Road
‘authorities. The Company has developed their own
correlations with Standard Penetration tests and
Density Index tests in sands.

LOGS

The borehole or test pit logs presented herein are an
engineering and/or geological interpretation of the
subsurface conditions, and their reliability will depend
to some extent on the frequency of sampling and the
method of drilling or excavation. Ideally, continuous
undisturbed sampling or core drilling will enable the
most reliable assessment but is not always practicable
or possible to justify on economic grounds. In any
case, the boreholes or test pits represent only a very
small sample of the total subsurface conditions.

The attached explanatory notes define the terms and
symbols used in preparation of the logs.

Interpretation of the information shown on the logs,
and its application to design and construction, should
therefore take into account the spacing of boreholes or
test pits, the method of drilling or excavation, the
frequency of sampling and testing and the possibility of
other than “straight line” variations between the
boreholes or test pits. Subsurface conditions between
boreholes or test pits may vary significantly from
conditions encountered at the borehole or test pit
locations.

GROUNDWATER

Where groundwater levels are measured in boreholes,
there are several potential problems.

«Although groundwater may be present in lower

 

permeability soils, it may enter the hole slowly or
perhaps not at all during the time the hole is open.

+A localized perched water table may lead to an
erroneous indication of the true water table.

+Water table levels will vary from time to time with
seasons or recent weather changes and may not be
the same at the time of construction.

NOTEREP.SAM

~The use of water or mud as a drilling fluid will mask
any groundwater inflow. Water has to be bailed out of
the bore and mud must be washed out of the hole or
"reverted" if water observations are to be made.

More reliable measurements can be made by use of
standpipes which are read after stabilizing at periods
ranging from several days to perhaps weeks for low
permeability soils. Piezometers, sealed in a particular
stratum, may be advisable in low permeability soils or
where there may be interference from perched water
tables or surface water.

FILL

The presence of fill materials can often be determined
only by the inclusion of foreign objects (eg. bricks,
steel, etc.) or by distinctly unusual colour, texture or
fabric. Identification of the extent of fill materials will
also depend on investigation methods and frequency.
Where natural soils similar to those at the site are used
for fill, it may be difficult with limited testing and
sampling to reliably determine the extent of the fill.
The presence of fill materials is usually regarded with
caution as the possible variation in density, strength
and material type is much greater than with natural soil
deposits. Consequently, there is an increased risk of
adverse engineering characteristics or behaviour. If
the volume and quality of fill is important to a project,
then frequent test pit excavations are preferable to
boreholes.

LABORATORY TESTING

Laboratory testing is normally carried out in
accordance with Australian Standard 4289 "Methods of
Testing Soil for Engineering Purposes". Details of the
test procedure used are given on the individual report
forms and the attached explanatory notes summarize
important aspects of the Laboratory Test Procedures
adopted.

ENGINEERING REPORTS

SITE ANOMALIES

In the event that conditions encountered on site during
construction appear to vary from those expected from
the information contained in the report, the Company
requests that it immediately be notified. Most
problems are more readily resolved when conditions
are exposed than at some later stage, well after the
event.

REPRODUCTION OF INFORMATION FOR
CONTRACTUAL PURPOSES

Attention is, drawn to the document "Guidelines for the
Provision of Geotechnical Information in Tender

section is not relevant to the contractual situation, it
may be appropriate to prepare a specially edited
document. The Company would be pleased to assist

 

in this regard and/or to make additional report copies
available for contract purposes at a nominal charge.
REVIEW OF DESIGN

Where major civil or structural developments are

 

proposed or where only a limited investigation has
been completed or where the geotechnical conditions/
constraints are quite complex, it is prudent to have a
joint design review which involves a_ senior
geotechnical engineer. We would be happy to assist
in this regard as an extension of our investigation
commission.
