Assignment 3: Interpretive Report Length of report (not including cover page): 5 to 10 pages 1. AVAILABLE DATA The site investigations for the project were carried out and details are contained in the provided information. The project is a 20 storeys building with commercial ground floor suspended over two levels of basement car parks. The diameter of secant piled wall is 500mm and spacing between the centres of the piles is 800mm. The toe of wall is embedded into soil layer at a depth 13 m below the ground level. The wall was designed for construction of two basements. The maximum excavation depth was set to be 8.2m and one level of anchor was adopted to construct the basements. 2. TASKS You are required to assess and interpret the information. Make necessary assumptions if needed. You must indicate the assumptions in your report. The following specific tasks must be completed: a. Based on Figure E1, determine the Soil Profile along Section A-A. Use this to develop a general Soil Profile for your calculation. b. Based on the Bore-logs, in each soil layer, determine (in table): ? Unit Weight ? Relative Density (if relevant) ? Friction Angle (if relevant) ? Undrained shear strength, S (if relevant) u ? Dilation Angle (if relevant) ? Young’s Modulus, E (if relevant) ? Poisson’s Ratio, ?. (if relevant) ? Coefficient of Earth Pressure at Rest, K . (if relevant) o ? Active Pressure Coefficient, K . (if relevant) a ? Passive Pressure Coefficient, K . (if relevant) p c. Identify and summarise the required soil parameters. Table 1. Soil Parameters (examples) 3 Stratum ?
