Introduction ‘The geotechnical site investigation ata site at Gwadar Bay Baluchistan was carried out based on the field and laboratory testing, Feld work consisting of two boreholes drilled up to a depth of 15m, The samples were brought in core boxes for laboratory investigations, Allthe tests were conducted as per ASTM standards or otherwise wherever, required, The laboratory testing consisted of soil gradation (sievehyérometer amlyss), consistency limits, density of sol samples (from undisturbed/remoulded samples and corelations, te), strength parameters (@hrough direct shear test), the elastis parameters. were determined through testing and corelations with the type of sll and elative density, et. “The results forthe boreholes are given inthe following tables corresponding tothe depth ‘of samples from which the samples were exhumed. 2, Scope of work The scope of present geotechnical site investigation report compises of the bearing capacity analysis ofthe borehole samples based on field and lsboratory investigations and analysis forthe detemmination ofthe necessary sol parameters required for the design of @ foundation Shallow foundations are usually comprised of isolated foctings, combined footing, spread footing and raft foundations to offer support 10 the lightweight or one to two story buildings. The shallow foundations usually draw its load carrying capacity through sol- foundation interaction based on the soil behaviour and foundation dimensions, Therefore, the type of soil its elative density ane strength parameters have significant contribution jn the design of shallow foundations. 4, Raft foundation A mat foundation isa large concrete slab used to interface one column, or mare than one ‘column in several ines, with the Bae soi, Itmay encompass the entre foundition area orcapacity andlor the column lads are so large that more than SO pacent of the aes it ‘overed by conventional spread footings 5, Borehole locations ‘Borehole locations mep is shown in Figure 1.

Seismic records fr the period between 1851 and 1990 indicate the occurence of 193 earthquakes of 4 and shove on the Richter sels “The epicenter ofthe earthquake was 87 kilometres south-west of Chur in Balochistan, The towns of Pasr and Ormara were both reportedly underwater afer the tsunami that was also recorded at Muscat and Gwadar, Tis was the most recent msjortsunami-Beneting ‘earthquake in the Arabian Sea, Several studies wee carried out for the seismic actyite hnjis region the peak ground acceleration through deterministic and probabilistic analysis pr determined to be around 0.38 g for Gwadar City nd; therefore, soil liquefaction factor may be given due consderetion. The commended bearing capacity forthe foundation is 1.5 tsf for BH No! site and 1.0 tf hallow foundation depth may be kept within Dy~ 30 m.
