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 4ea DEPARTMENT OF GEOTECHNICAL AND TRANSPORTATION, FACULTY OF CIVIL
