PROJECT ASSIGNMENT This project assignment can be done in a group of maximum 4 people. The group must clearly indicate the task conducted by each group member. This project assignment will carry a total mark 20%. PROJECT ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION: Attachment 1 shows a waterfront area that will be reconstructed to transform it into a commercial area. One of the proposed shopping complex is the Canal Central Plaza which Consist of a main 30 stories tower that accommodate business offices. In order to provide a dry working area along the shore line of the construction area, it is proposed to provide a cofferdam to avoid the sea water from entering the construction site during high tide. 1) Attachment 2 to7 are the Information from the site investigation work ie, Bore log BH1 to BH3 and the water level. Assuming all BH1 to BH3 are at the same datum, sketch the soil strata represented by BH1, BH2 and BH3. Try to be brief on interpreting the soil strata. 2) For the construction of the Canal Central Plaza, one of the main column will be supported by a Drilled Shaft foundation instead of pile group. Total working load on the drilled Shaft is 10,000 KN. Based on the interpreted soil strata above, design a suitable Drilled Shaft Foundation indicating the suitable depth and size of the Drilled Shaft Foundation. Give justification on the Factor of Safety use. Estimate the soil parameters based on SPT indicated in the bore log. Friction angle, @ can be estimated from SPT values, N using the following equation from Terzaghi & Peck @ = 27.12 + 0.2857N 3) Attachment 8 shows the cross section of the proposed cofferdam. Granular material has to be imported as fill materials inside the cofferdam and for the base foundation since the surrounding sand is quite loose. The compacted fill is expected to achieve a friction angle, ¢ of 38° with a saturated unit weight of 19kN/m?. Maximum tide is as indicated in the drawing. Based on the proposed height and embedded depth of the cofferdam, design the suitable width of the Diaphragm Cofferdam which able to withstand against sliding, overturning and Cell Shear. Provide justification in all assumption made. Mtackonent 4 ea DEPARTMENT OF GEOTECHNICAL AND TRANSPORTATION, FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA. HOBRER.
