    The document provides calculations for a proposed relief well design including: (1) soil properties with a saturated density of 20.0 kN/m3 and unsaturated density of 18.0 kN/m3, (2) the soil water content is 11.11%, (3) the proposed well has a diameter of 250mm and length of 10m resulting in a volume of 0.491m3, and (4) the estimated volume of displaced soil is 3.84m3 containing 0.427m3 of water, therefore the proposed well design is deemed adequate.

    Relief Well Calculations

    01) Parameter of soil

    Bulk density of Soil

    Saturated density = 20.0 kN/m3

    Un-saturated density = 18.0 kN/m3

    02) Water content of soil, w = ( 20 - 18) / 18 %

    = 11.11 %

    03) Using Dia.250mm with 10.0m length Relief well,

    Volume of Relief well = π x r2 x l

    = π x 250^2/4 x 10.0 / 10^6

    = 0.491 m3

    04) Volume of displaced soil due to driven pile, Vs = Axl

    (depth of peaty clay only consirded) = 400 x 400 x 24

    = 3.84 m3

    05) Volume of the water in the displaced soil = Vs x w

    = 3.84 x 11.11%

    = 0.427 m3

    Thus, the provide diameter and depth of the Relief well are adequate
