3.3 Survey and set out of Borehole and related measurement
3.3.1 General provisions
(1) The survey personnel shall confirm the coordinates or control points
provided by CAAB, and then adopt GPS-RTK to survey and set out the exploration
page 20 of 42
points. The serial number of exploration points, drilling depth and drilling type shall
be marked. The technical personnel shall recheck the exploration points and protect
the point marks.
(2) Drilling and borehole setting: according to the list of drilling tasks, the
borehole location shall be photographed on site. If it is necessary to relocate the
borehole, the proposed location shall be reported to CAAB’s on-site engineer for
approval. Check the data of borehole setting after completion.
(3) Before drilling, record the change of elevation of borehole in the log (which
may be caused by machine weight). After drilling, the location and elevation of
drilling borehole shall be re-surveyed in batches. After the re-survey, the “Table of
re-survey results of borehole location” shall be provided.
The borehole location shall be carried out according to the requirements of the
approved proposal. In case of special circumstances, it is requested to report to
CAAB’s on-site engineer immediately. Before drilling each borehole, the technician
must go to the site verify whether the borehole location is accurate. If it is necessary
to relocate the borehole, the proposed location shall be reported to CAAB’s on-site
engineer for approval, the actual borehole location and elevation shall be recorded in
the log. If the borehole location is found to be within the required location range, the
drilling can be started immediately. The borehole orifice is generally calculated from
the original ground. In case of excavation or filling of leveling machine platform,
the elevation discrepancy between the orifice and the original ground orifice after
site leveling shall be noted in the log, and the borehole depth shall be determined
together with CAAB’s on-site engineer.
3.3.2 Borehole location deviation requirements are as follows:
(1) Location error of exploration point: On the land, the location deviation shall
not be greater than 0.1m;
(2) The elevation deviation of ground orifices of exploration points: On the
land, it shall not be greater than 0.01m;
page 21 of 42
(3) After the exploration is completed, the location and elevation of the
exploration points shall be re-surveyed and recorded.
3.3.3 The process of borehole location survey and setting out
In this project, GPS-RTK is used to survey and set out the borehole location.
The process is as follows:
(1) Inspection of survey instruments: check whether the identification
certificate of GPS-RTK is expired, whether the accuracy of the instrument meets the
needs of the project, and whether all parts of the instrument are complete;
(2) Handover of site control points: before point location survey, BUCG’s
survey engineer shall receive the coordinates and elevation of control points of the
project provided by CAAB, and complete the handover procedures.
(3) Recheck of on-site control points: after the handover of control points,
recheck the control points provided by CAAB with GPS and total station
respectively in order to check whether there is an error and whether the error
accuracy meets the engineering requirements.
(4) Establishment of engineering coordinate system: when the recheck results
of control points meet the engineering requirements, the new coordinate system of
the project shall be built in GPS with setting parameters. And the coordinates shall
be corrected by transforming the parameters.
(5) On-site survey and set out: the coordinate of each survey point shall be
imported into the GPS survey map by computer. Survey and set out the points on
each road, and make temporary marks.
(6) Point recheck: after the completion of the point survey and setting out,
some points shall be selected for recheck. When all of them are qualified, the point
survey and setting out shall be considered as correct.
(7) Point mark: after points location is confirmed, record shall be made timely.

Figure 5-12 Survey and setting out exploration points
3.3.4 Elevation survey
GPS is used for the elevation survey,
(1) Survey requirements:
① After the completion of drilling, inform the survey team to measure the
elevation of the orifice in time, so as to prevent the survey accuracy from being
affected by back filling of the borehole;
② At least two leveling points are required. The two points shall be rechecked
mutually before survey, and they shall be adopted only when the accuracy meets the
requirements;
③ During elevation survey, GPS shall be placed at the orifice for at least 1
minute under the fixed solution state, and the elevation data shall be saved after the
elevation data is stable;
④ The preserved elevation data shall be exported in time, and the “Orifice
elevation survey table” shall be filled in.

3.5 In-situ testing
The in-situ test to be used in this investigation include the standard penetration
test (SPT) and wave velocity test.
3.5.1 Standard penetration test
In order to obtain the change of soil compaction along the depth direction and

layer has in-situ test data. For the stratum with the stable spatial distribution and
page 29 of 42
large thickness in the lower part, the test spacing can be appropriately increased or
controlled according to layer. The main technical requirements are as follows:
(1) The equipment of standard penetration test shall meet the requirements of
table 5-3
Specification requirement for standard penetration test equipment s Table 5-3
Hammer quality (kg) 63.5±1
Hammer
Drop distance (cm) 76±2.5

keeps the water level in it slightly higher than the groundwater level. When the
borehole wall is unstable, the slurry can be used to protect the wall. When drill to
15cm above the test elevation, remove the residual soil at the bottom of the borehole
and then carry out the test;
(3) The free-drop method with automatic decoupling shall be adopted for
hammering. This method can reduce the friction resistance between the guide rod
and the hammer, so as to avoid eccentricity and lateral shaking during hammering. It
also can maintain the perpendicularity of the connection of the penetrometer, probe
rod and guide rod. The hammering rate shall be less than 30 blows/min;
(4) The penetrometer shall be continuously driven into 45cm in the drawing
and be counted in three sections. The actual hammering numbers shall be recorded
after each 15cm penetration. The cumulative hammering numbers of 30cm in the
last two times is the hammering number N of standard penetration test. The test can
be terminated when any of the following conditions are met.
① The actual hammering number of any 15cm penetration reaches 50;
page 30 of 42
② The total hammers number reaches 100;
③ After hammering ten times consecutively, the penetrometer does not
penetrate.
When the standard of terminating test is reached without 45 cm penetration, the
actual hammering number of each completed 15 cm penetration and the hammering
number of partial penetration at penetration depth shall be recorded in the borehole
log. For partial penetration, the penetration depth shall be recorded to the nearest
2.5cm.
(5) Sampling requirements of standard penetrometer: lift the standard
penetrometer to the ground and open it. Record the recovery rate or the length of the
sample, describe the composition, color, stratification, and conditions of the soil
sample. Then place one or more samples in a sealed moisture-proof container (tank),
which shall be sealed to prevent evaporation of soil moisture. Label the container
with the project name, serial number of the borehole, sampling depth, and 15cm
hammering number. If there is soil layer change in the sample, separately take
samples from each layer of soil, and record the position of the layer change.

page 32 of 42
① Boreholes shall be drilled at the designated test site, and the
perpendicularity requirements are the same as those for general exploration
boreholes. The vibration device shall be arranged 1-1.5m away from the orifice. It
testing the borehole inclination, PVC casing shall be set in the borehole. There are
four notches in the casing for inclinometer to move along the notch.
② If the measured soil layer is not thick and hard, or the borehole will not
collapse after the mud wall protection, the drilling rig can be removed before the test,
otherwise, the drilling rig shall be left on the borehole location for standby.
③ If the detector in the borehole does not have a fixed device on the borehole
wall, the drilling rig shall be need for assistance.
(4) Test procedure:
① Switch on the power. The test can be carried out after the tester is normal on
the ground.
② Put the three-component detector into the borehole at the predetermined
depth of the test point. Then the capsule shall be inflated on the ground with a pump
and be expanded to make the three-component detector attach to the hole wall.
③ After striking one end of the vibration plate horizontally with a wooden
hammer or a hammer, the shear wave generated on the surface shall propagates
through the stratum. And the SH signal wave shall be received by the horizontal
detector of the three-component detector in the borehole. The signal shall be sent to
the seismograph through the cable for amplification and recording. The test requires
that the seismograph shall obtain clear recording wave forms for three times. Then
knock the board in the reverse direction until obtain clear wave forms for three times
in the same way. After the test at this SH wave is completed, the steel plate placed
on the surface shall be knocked with a heavy hammer. And the generated P-wave
shall be recorded by the three-component vertical detector in the borehole. It is also
required to obtain clear P-wave wave forms for three times. After the data is saved
correctly, the test of the drilling depth at this point shall be completed.
page 33 of 42
④ Release gas from the capsule, transfer the three-component detector in the
borehole to the depth of the next test point. Repeat the above test steps until the
drilling depth requirements are met.
⑤ After finishing the whole borehole test, check whether the field test record
is complete.
(5) The following aspects shall be paid attention to in the process of in-situ
survey of soil shear wave velocity
① The main purpose of this investigation is to recheck the basic information
completed before, such as the general stratum structure and overburden thickness.
Therefore, the exploration borehole for measuring the shear wave velocity of the soil
layer may not need to pass through the overburden layer during wave velocity test;
② In the field survey, the borehole of shear wave velocity test shall be selected
as far as possible in the vicinity of the borehole without obstacles affecting the
artificial wave propagation.
③ In the depth range of wave velocity test, if the wall is protected by casing,
the whole process of casing shall be followed up as far as possible to ensure that the
casing is in close contact with the soil layer; if the wall is protected by mud, the
proportion of mud shall be as small as possible;
④ In principle, the data of the wave velocity test shall be collected at the
change layer of formation, and the data shall be collected per meter.
