GEOTECHNICAL REPORT Proposed Three-Storey Building San Mateo, Rizal PREPARED BY: NMC SOIL TESTING Block 10 Lot 33 Sugartowne Homes, Batasan Hills,Quezon City Tel. 4308942 Cel no. (0919)3292062 Email neb_98@yahoo.com DON B ADSUARA, MSCE (G) 4.0 INTRODUCTION ‘As part of the preliminary or detalled engineering of the project, NMC Soil Testing was hired to ‘conduct geotechnical investigation in order to ensure a rational, safe and economical design land construction of the proposed three storey building. The data obtained will define the stratigraphy and engineering properties of the soils underlying the site, particularly the strength and deformation characteristics of the soil, strata, the soil bearing capacity, groundwater and surface drainage conditions among others which shall then be used to determine the appropriate foundation scheme for the proposed building, This site is located at Bk 1 Lot 22 Pelbel st. Cor General Luna, Brgy Sta. Ana, San Mateo, Rizal. This is near the vicinity of Metro Manila. Metro Manila belongs to a geological province called Central Physiographic Province. it contains middle tertiary sediments and quatemary yrociastics and lava flow unconformably overlying cretaceous to lower tertiary basement rocks, Results of the boring show that the surficial deposits consist of sandstones. The rock deposits are believed to be tuffaceous. These deposits are intercallated volcanic and sedimentary racks and are part of the Diliman Tuff, a member of Guadalupe Formation. 2.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION PROGRAM The investigation consists of ring two (2) boreholes with fifteen (15) meter deep, The hole was advanced by wash boring and standard penetration test (SPT). The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is performed every 1.0 meter of depth measured from the ground surface. Initially an NW-casing was driven into the ground using the driver hammer weighing 63.5 kg. up to a depth of 0.50 m. The section of the casing which was driven into the ground ‘was cleaned up to the bottom by wash boring. The term "wash boring” refers to the process in which a hole is advanced by combination of chopping and jetting to break the soil or rock into ‘small fragments called cuttings and washing to remove cuttings from the hole. The tools used consist of drill rods with a chopping bit at the bottom and a water swivel and lifting bail at the top. This is connected to the water pump by a heavy duty hose attached to the water swivel This assembly is attached to the cathead by means of a rope which passes through the sheave and tied to the lifting bail. The tools are then lowered to the level of soil in the casing, and water under pressure is introduced at the bottom of the hole by means of water passages in the drill rods and the chopping bit. At the same time, the bit is raised and dropped by means of the rope attached to the lifting bail. Each time the rods are dropped they are also partially rotated manually by means of a wrench placed around the rods. The latter process helps to break up the material at the base of the hole. The resulting cuttings are carried to the surface in the drilling water which flows in the annular space between the drill rods and the inside of the casing. The process is continued until the depth for taking SPT samples is reached. ‘The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) was used to extract relatively distribut the borehole at intervals not exceeding 1.50 meters. This was done by df splt-barrel sampler with the following specifications: ‘samples from a standard Make : Std. Sprague and Henwood Type : Outside 5.40. om. Diameter: Inside 3.50 om. Diameter 61.0 cm, Length This split-barrel sampler is attached to the end of a string of rods and is driven into the ground by means of blows from a donut type or center-hole cell hammer weighing 63.50 kg. ‘THREE STOREY BUILDING Page 1 of 3 DON B ADSUARA, MSCE (G) ‘The hammer is dropped repeatedly and freely from a height of 76.2 om. into a special anvil Until the required 45.0 om. penetration is attained. The sample is initially driven a distance of 15.0 cm. to seat it on undisturbed soil and the blow count also recorded (unless the weight of the assembly sinks the sampler, so no N can be counted). The blow count for each of the next two 15-om-increment is summed up and used as the penetration number N, unless the last increment can not be completed either from encountering rock/ gravelly layer or the blow count exceeds 60. Where N-blow count s exceeds to 60, the test is stopped and the penetration attained is recorded as a denominator to the number of blows e.g. 60/10 meaning 60 blows for 10 cm. penetration. This would be indicated as “refusal” in the borehole log. The method described above is the standard penetration tests (SPT). N-values derived from the borings are reflected in appropriate columns in the Final Borehole Log in Appendix B. A number of pictures were taken during the investigation (Appendix D). No ground water level was measured during the investigation. All recovered soil samples were visually identified and logged at the site. They were placed inside the airtight plastic bags before transporting them to the laboratory of NMC. All Geotechnical laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the American Standard for Testing and Material (ASTM) procedures. 3.0 INTERPRETATION OF THE SOIL PROFILE Overburden soil deposit was encountered at thickness 15.0 meters Based on the findings from the 2 exploratory boreholes sand and silt may be considered representative of the deposits in the area. Figure 4 shows the interpreted soil profile. The properties of the soil deposits between borings are not expected to deviate significantly but the thickness and depth may vary more. 4,0 DISCUSSION AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the geotechnical investigation for the proposed building, a shallow foundation may be constructed at least 2.0m below the ground level. These footings should have widths not less than 4.5 m.At this depth, a net soil bearing pressure not greater than 100 kPa. The depth is directly proportional to the bearing capacity as shown in table 1 Depth (m) 2.0 [3.0 4.0 Table 1 Isolated footings must be tied together in at least two orthogonal directions by stif tie beams land grade beams. This is to counter any lateral displacement and to provide rigidity in the foundation. ‘THREE STOREY BUILDING Page 2 of 3 DON B ADSUARA, MSCE (S) Seismic Design Parameters Based on the intial findings of the exploration, the following parameters may be used for seismic design as required by the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015. + Soil Type Profile -(Sd) + Seismic Zone -(4) + Seismic Zone Factor -(0.4) + Estimated Distance to seismic source - less than 1.0 km (estimate only) ‘A peak ground acceleration of 0.3 g may be expected on site during intense earthquakes. This is based on the assumption of 500 —year return period on rock site. Floor slabs: The sub-grade soil should be compacted to at least 90% of maximum dry density. In addition, it is also recommended that a well compacted coarse granular sub-base material at least 100mm thick be placed between the sub-graded soil and the floor slab. 5.0 GENERAL REMARKS This geotechnical evaluation was carried out based on the soil borings and laboratory test shown in Appendix C as provided by DBA. The samples taken and used for testing and the observations are believed to be representative of the entire area. However, the writer should be contacted during design modification of the structure to determine the load distribution. ‘Any changes in the conditions will be evaluated and the foundation designs may be adjusted or alternate designs may be recommended.
