Very truly yours, GEOTESTING |ATIONAL) INC. DOMINADO! IRMIN, JR. President [SEOTESTING 10 2.0 SOIL INVESTIGATION REPORT PROPOSED GYMNASIUM AND NIH BUILDING U.P, COMPOUND, TAFT AVENUE, MANILA INTRODUCTION ‘This report presents the results of the soil investigation performed at the proposed project site in U.P. Compound, Taft Avenue, Manila, The object of the investigation was to explore the subsurface conditions at the project site, perform laboratory testing and engineering evaluation to provide discussion and recommendations concerning the general subsurface conditions at the site, foundation support and design soil values for the proposed strueture to be constructed. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION ‘The subsurface conditions at the site were explored by drilling three (3) test boreholes to 40 .0 meters deep each. The test borings were drilled with a trailer-mounted, rotary wash drilling equipment employing the wash boring ‘method with Standard Penetration Tests and rock coring. Borehole location is shown on Plate No. 1. Disturbed soil samples were obtained from Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) performed by driving a 2-inch O.D. and 1-3/8 inch LD. split spoon sampler with a 140-Ibs. hammer falling freely from a height of 30 inches every 1.5-meter interval. The number of blows required to force the sampler 6.0 inches into the bi [SEOTESTING 3.0 40. 5.0 sol] was counted and recorded for each consecutive 6-inches penetration. The nutfber of blows for the last 12.0 inches penetration was taken as the standard petition value denoted by N in the boring log. The logs of the borings are présented on Plate Nos. 3 to 5. The Unified Soil Classification System used in ceeeeibite| soils is shown on Plafe No. 2. LABORATORY TESTING Selected samples retrieved from the boriags were tested for natural moisture contents, atterberg limits and grain size distributions. Rock core samples were tested for unconfined compression. Some test results appear in the boring logs. Other test results are presented on Plate No. 6 to 8. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS ‘The site is generally underlain by 13.20 to 20.70 meters of soils consisting of very loose to dense silty sand, very soft to very stiff silty clay and stiff to very stiff clayey silt. Underlying these soils is weathered tuff (adobe) extending to 40.0 meters deep, the maximum depth drilled. At the time of the soil investigation, the groundwater was encountered at 1.70 to 2.0 meters deep below ground surface. DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ‘The soils immediately underlying the site investigated are relatively weak, highly compressible and cannot support the structure to be constructed, The estimated allowable soil bearing capacity is only 50 kp (1,000 psf). |GEOTESTING ‘The structure shall be supported by either driven or bored piles. ‘The following parameters are recommended to obtain the allowablé pile load capacities: a = ultimate skin friction along the pile shaft driven pile = 15 Tin? bored pile = = 0.75 Tim* p = ultimate tip resistance = 400 Thm? Estimated length of piles embedded in the «uff = 15.0 to 21.0 meters from ground surface Factor of Safety (Static) = 2.50 Factor of Safety (Dynamic) 2.0 ‘Asa guide, the estimated ultimate pile load capacities are as follows: * Driven Piles 12” x 12” 30 ems x 30 ems) - 70 tons 14” x 14” 5 ems x 35 ems) - 90 tons 16” x 16” (40 cms x 40 cms) - 110 tons, Bored Piles 0.50 meter @ - 100 tons 0.75 meter @ - 220 tons 1.0 meter O - 360 tons 1.50 meters @ - 770 tons 2.0 meters - 1,475 tons bil [GEDTESTING 60 10 8.0 It is strongly recommended that test piles be driven at the building site to determine actual pile load capacities and lengths. CONCRETE-ON-GRADE-SLABS ‘The finished surface of the subgrade for the floor slabs should be covered with at east 15.0 ems. of free draining-granular fill. The fill should be uniformly spread over the subgrade, moisture conditioned and compacted to at least 95% compaction. Prior to the pl acing of the fill, the subgrade should be recompacted to at least 95% compaction. The surface of the fill should be level, dense and non-yielding. \ EXCAVATION Inspection of excavations for severely weathered areas should be conducted. Identified unstable areas shall be secured. e SEISMICITY ‘The building should be designed for seismic Zone 4, Soil type 84 of the National Structural Code of the P! pines, Volume 1, Buildings, Towers and other Vertical Structures, where seismic zone factor is 0.4 and $ factor is 2.0, Soil profile type is SE according to NSCP 2001, 5" Edition, The following plates are attached and complete this soil investigation report.
