GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION.
3.1 GENERAL
Field exploration programme was conducted during the period of 18th July 2014 to
14th August 2014. The programme was supervised by our personnel from our office.
The exploration of works involved in this investigation includes the following: -
a. Six (6) numbers of Borehole

b. Eight (8) numbers of Permeability Test
c. Two (2) numbers of Water Standpipe Monitoring
to be done for the design of the foundation for the proposed project.
3.2 DEEP BORING
3.2.1 Deep Boring Equipment
The Boring equipment used was “Rotary Drilling Rig” which is capable of
boring and drilling to the depth. These boring rigs are also suitable for
advancing the borehole, sampling, in-situ testing and rock drilling in
accordance with the relevant specifications of each of these operations.
advancing the borehole, sampling, in-situ testing and rock drilling in
accordance with the relevant specifications of each of these operations.
3.2.2 Method of Advancing Boreholes
Soil drill was carried out by the rotary action of drill bit attached to the bottom
of a hollow rod, which cuts/discharges all material within the diameter of
borehole washed to the ground surface by drilling fluid pumped down the
drilling rod. Normally the drill bit is rarely allowed to extend more than
150mm ahead of the bottom of the casing (if casing is used). Advancing of the
borehole is using drill rods with suitable drill bit and casing or where
permitted, proper drilling fluids. Advancing of the borehole will be such that
the disturbance to and contamination of the soil(s) immediately below the
borehole will be kept to minimum.
Casing was required in the soft or cohesionless soils, but is often omitted in
stiff, cohesive soils when only small representative samples are desired.
3.2.3 Sampling in Boreholes
i. Disturbed Sample
Disturbed samples may be obtained by any means as long as the soil

sample obtained is representative and unchanged in the constituent
contents. After the completion of the test, the sampler tube is removed and
disassembled to provide „disturbed‟ but representative samples.

2
GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
Disturbed samples were taken from continuous sampling and split barrel
samples in conjunction with penetration resistance tests for purpose of
laboratory soil classification.
Disturbed samples were normally preserved immediately after being

recovered in doubled layered heavy polyethylene bags sealed to form an
airtight bag. Properly contained samples were stored under a shelter away
from the sun and rain.
ii. Undisturbed Sample
Undisturbed samples were taken with thin-wall tube sampler or stationary

piston sampler as according to the site conditions or as directed. The
minimum internal diameter of the tube used was 75mm and the minimum
length of the tube was 1000mm.
A minimum of 10.0mm of undisturbed materials was removed from the
top and the bottom of the tube to take up a jar sample for both the top and
bottom. Subsequent to the penetration of these samples, both ends of the
sample will be coated with a non-shrinking wax to ensure airtight seal.
The void at the top and bottom of the tube was then filled.
iii. Rock Sample
The procedure for rock drilling shall be in accordance with British

Standard Code of Practice BS 5930: 1981 (Formerly CP 2001: 1957)
“Site Investigation”. The diameter of core acceptable shall be 54.00mm
diameter (NMLC or NWX, NWM core barrels where X and M refers to
the design of corebit).
The Total Core Recovery (TCR) mean the ratio of the total length of good
quality core over the drilling length expressed the nearest 5%. Rock
Quality Designation (RQD) was the ratio of the total length of the good
quality core each exceeding 100mm in length over the drilling run correct
to circular circumference or in the case of broken rock fragment
assembled to form cores with circular circumference.
iv. Ground Water Sampling
Ground water sample taken in accordance with BS 5930: Section 23.3

“Groundwater samples” on each occasion that ground water is
encountered during boring. In all type of boring where water is added
groundwater samples should be collected when directed by the Employer,
by first removing all water from the borehole by pumping or bailing, then
taking a groundwater sample from the water which collects by seepage.
Approximately 1.0 litre of water should be collected and stored in a clear

inert plastic bottle, rinsing the bottle three times with the water being
sampled before filling. The groundwater sample shall sensibly fill the
bottle which shall be sealed with a water-tight screw cap and transported
to the lab within 3 days.

GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
3.3 Field Testing
3.3.1 Standard Penetration Test
Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) was carried in accordance with BS 1377-

9:1990, 3.3. „Determination of the penetration resistance using a split barrel
sampler and a self tripping hammer of approved design”.
Generally, is carried out in all types of soil except the very soft and soft clays,
at 1.5m intervals or change of strata or as instructed by the S.O.
representative. In case of soft clay, vane shear test shall be carried out instead
of the SPT.
The value of the N as defined in the B.S. method was reported together with
the number of blow counts for each 75mm penetration of the sampling tube.
The blow counts for the first 150mm penetration (the seating drive) which do
not contribute the value of N was also included.
Two examples are 2,3,6,7,10,19 will give N= 42 and 10, 12,35 15/25mm will
give N= 50/100mm. When a penetration resistance of 25 blows or 150mm
penetration was encountered in a seating drive, the test would stop and the
SPT value would be N*= 25/150mm. The soil samples recovered from the
split barrel were preserved as disturbed samples as disturbed samples for
subsequent testing.
3.3.2 Permeability Test
Permeability test will be carried out in borehole as indicated by the Engineer in

accordance with BS 5930: 1999 and consist of falling or rising head tests.
The borehole will be cleaned out before carrying out a permeability test and the
casing raised to expose a length of borehole wall equal to approximately two
times the borehole diameter. For materials which are likely to collapse if
unsupported a suitable filter material will be placed in the base of the borehole
to support the uncased part.
Rising head tests, the water level in the borehole shall first be lower by bailing
to a level agreed by the engineer. The water level will be recorded at 10 second
intervals during the early stages of the test and at less frequent intervals in the
latter stages in order that a representative record of the fall or rise in the water
level relative to time can be obtained. The level of the natural ground water
table shall be established at the time of testing.

GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
3.4 Installation And Monitoring Of Water Standpipe
This test is commonly employed for the purpose of ground water observation. Borehole
drill during the course of site investigations can be left open and cased if necessary to
provide an observation point. A minimum 24 hours after drilling has ceases should be
allowed to pass before observations are commenced.
a. The installation of water standpipe is as follow: -
i. Typically, the borehole of nominal diameter of 70 mm is drilled to a

predetermined depth generally 10m below EGL.
ii. The cased borehole is clean by flushing with water and the standpipe
generally consist of perforated or slotted 40mm PVC pipe wrapped with
Geotextile is lowered into the borehole and clean sand is placed surround it.
b. Monitoring:-
v. The probe usually suspended by a steel measuring tape to record the

distance from the collar on the top end of the access tube to the top of water
levels.
vi. The Reduced Level of the top of the standpipe is recorded and subsequent
reporting shall base on the calculated RL of water levels.
3.5 Water Table Measurement
The measurement of water table in the boreholes was done using either a measuring
tape or tape rod diameter or dip-meter as directed by the Client.
The recordings were repeated daily while boring for the drilled hole in progress and
were taken in the following time intervals: -
2. Before work commences in the morning

3. At the end of the day‟s work.
The water levels recorded in the borehole logs were levels observed in these
investigation holes during the period of the site investigation. Such observed levels may
not necessarily be the actual groundwater levels that are subject to seasonal fluctuations
from time to time.
For boreholes involving impervious stratum, the casing top was capped overnight to
prevent entry of rainwater and subsurface water.

GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
4.0 LABORATORY TESTING
Both disturbed and undisturbed samples were obtained at various depths and at every change
of soil strata for the purpose of identification, classification and testing. The following
laboratory tests were carried out in our laboratory in accordance with the British Standard
Code 1377: 1990.
The tests consisted of: -
1. Soil Classification Test

a. Natural Moisture Content
b. Bulk and Dry Density
c. Particles Size Distributions.
d. Atterberg Limits Determination.
2. Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression

3. Shear Box Test
4. Uniaxial Compression Strength Test On Rock
5. Chemical Test
a. PH Test
b. Organic Matter Content
c. Sulphate Content
d. Chloride Content
The results of the laboratory soil test are summarised in the Summary of Laboratory Test
Result as presented in Appendix E – Summary and Results of Laboratory Test.
4.1 Soil Classification Test
Soil Classification Test was conducted in accordance to BS: 1377: Part 2: 1990. Soil
Classification Test was determined of basic physical properties. The tests are required
for the classification of soil in accordance with BS 5930:1999. The test was included as
follow:-
a. Natural Moisture Content
Moisture content and dry density determination were performed on numerous

samples in order to provide an identification of the relevant strength of the
samples and for correlation of sample type.
b. Bulk And Dry Density
This test follows BS 1377: Part 2: 1990 Method 7. The bulk density of a soil is
the mass per unit volume of the soil including any water it contains, expressed in
Mg/m3. The linear measurement method 7.2 was used in this project for sample
obtained from undisturbed sampling method.

6
GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
c. Particle Size Distribution.
A sieve analysis consists of shaking the soil through a stack of wire screens with
opening of known sizes: the definition of particle diameter for a sieve test is,
therefore, the side dimensions of a square hole. The hydrometer method is based
on strokes equation for the velocity of a freely falling sphere: the definition of
particle diameter for hydrometer test is, therefore the diameter of a sphere of the
same density, which falls at the same velocity, as the particle is question. The test
procedure, which should be followed, depends on the soil in question. If nearly all
it grains are so large that they cannot pass through the square openings at
0.074mm (No. 200 screen), the sieve analysis is preferable. For those soils, which
are nearly all finer than a No. 200 screen, the hydrometer test is recommended.
Grained size analysis has been widely used as a mean for identification and
classification of soils.
d. Atterberg Limit
Atterberg Limit Determination Test was conducted in accordance to BS: 1377:

Part 2: 1990 Test 4 & 5. The Liquid & Plastic Limit was determined to furnish
basis for the classification and identification of fine-grained cohesive soils. The
liquid limit defines the boundary lectures the liquid and plastic states. It is the
water content at which the soil has such smaller shear strength that it flows to
close grove of standard width (13mm) when jarred in a specific manner. The
plastic limit defines the boundary between the plastic and semi-solid states; it is
the water content at which the soil begins to crumble when rolls into threads of
specific size (3mm). The amount of water which must be added to change a soil
from its plastic limit to its liquid limit is measured by the “Plasticity Index” which
is equal to the limit minus the plastic limit. The “natural” moisture content at the
time of testing was also presented in the data.
4.2 Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression Test
Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression Test with pore watering pressure

measurements is carried out according to BS 1377: part 8, Method 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Testing is carried out either on a set of 3 x 38mm, x 50mm, or 70mm, diameter
specimens whichever is specified. The test procedure involves the successive saturation,
consolidation and shearing stages of each of the three specimens.
4.3 Shear Box Test
Shear strength is determined either by measuring the shearing force causing failure
(direct shear tests), or by derivation from the measured compressive strength
(unconfined or triaxial compression tests). The test specimen is consolidated under a
vertical normal load until the primary consolidation is completed. It is then sheared at a
rate of displacement that is slow enough to prevent development of excess pore
pressures. Test data enable the effective shear strength parameters c’and Ø’ to be
derived. The residual shear strength parameters c’ R,and Ø’R can be obtained by
extending the tests to give large cumulative displacements by reversals and re-shearing.

GLSB/SI/2723-094/2014
4.4 Unaxial Compression Strength Test On Rock
Uniaxial compressive strength test of intact rock often needed properties in engineering
designs of structures in rock. The test is carried out on intact rock with no discontinuities
and yields data on the rock materials properties. The length to diameter ratio of 2:1 is a
minimum for cylinders.
4.5 Chemical Test
Chemical Test was conducted in accordance to BS: 1377: Part 3: 1990.The test was
included as follow:-
a. PH Test
The PH Test was carried out in accordance with BS: 1377: Part 3 :1990 to
determine the PH value by electrometric method, which gives direct reading of
the pH value of a soil suspension water.
b. Organic Matter Content
The organic matter content is carried out in accordance with BS: 1377: Part 3:
1990. The procedure covers the determination of the percentage by dry mass of
organic matters present in soil. The method, which uses dichromate oxidation, is
known as Walkley and Black‟s method.
c. Sulphate Content
The sulphate content test is carried out in accordance with BS: 1377: Part 3:
1990. The procedures for determining the sulphate content of soil and ground
water. The results obtained give the sulphate content at the time of sampling
only. There are two methods for determining the sulphate contents of aggregate
either water-soluble sulphate content or total sulphate content.
d. Chloride Content
The chloride content test is carried out in accordance with BS: 1377:
Part 3: 1990. The test was carried out for determination of water-soluble and
acid-soluble chloride salt content in soil. Both procedures are based on Voldard‟s
Method.
e. Carbonate Content
The carbonate content test is carried out for determination of carbonate content of
the soil. The test depends upon the reaction between carbonate and hydrochloric
acid, which liberates carbon dioxide. The percentage carbonate in the soil sample
expressed as CO2. The test was carried out by using rapid titration method as
stated in BS: 1377: Part 3: 1990 (Item 6).

5.0 COMMENTARY
The classification of the soil as represented in the report follows the BS 5930: 1999 Section 6
„Description of soil and rocks‟.
It must be pointed out that, where the description of the samples from the laboratory results
differ from the field description of the soil layers, the laboratory results was supplemented and
in some instances, superseded the field description. The report is limited to the representation
of the soil information data gathered from the field works and laboratory test results. It should
be noted that natural moisture content and the ground level are subjected to seasonal variation
and the drainage condition of the adjoining areas.
With this site investigation report will give part of the information to enable the designer to
decide and design the foundation system of the proposed project.

Remarks:
a) Initial water level from top of casing was estimated as 1.50m base on static ground water level before testing.
b) Probably due to nature of this type maybe contains of fine materials, permeability coeffiecient cannot be determine with short coarse of
falling head permeability test. The actual permeability value may be very low and hence it is recommended to carry out laboratory
permeability test for this type of soil.

b) Probably due to nature of this type maybe contains of fine materials, permeability coeffiecient cannot be determine with short coarse of
falling head permeability test. The actual permeability value may be very low and hence it is recommended to carry out laboratory
permeability test for this type of soil.
c) Purplish grey, sandy SILT of Intermediate Plasticity.
