The undisturbed rock core samples were obtained using a double tube core barrel having 76mm internal diameter. These samples were examined by a specialized geologist to obtain accurate classifications. 2.4.4 Field Testing in Boroholog ‘Standard Penetration Tests (S,P.

The S,P.TS results are shown on the boring los-at the respective test depths. SPT 'N’ values are usually used to correlate with undrained shear strength in Cohesive soll and with relative density in cohesion less soil.

Geotechnical investigation has been carried out on the proposed area of the Baps Hindu Mandir in ‘Abu Dhabi. The road alignment was found in order to determine the nature and engineering properties of the ground conditions as foundation materials for the proposed infrastructures. 2. This interpretative report shall be read in conjunction with the factual reports submitted by Capital Survey Ref: CS-SI-RPT-19-009 3. Results of the in-situ and laboratory tests have been summarized by stratum and design values assigned including the effective parameters and besring capacities, 4, Groundwater table was encountered at different levels in the proposed area ranging trom -7.4 to -14.35 from the ground level. However, that groundwater level is subject to variations caused by ‘weather seasonal variations and by changes of local drainage and or pumping conditions. Hence, the ground level height should be tasted again before cofstruction. 8 Recommendation 1.

The peak temperature may touch the §0-degree centigrade during summer season. In winter, the temperature drops to around. 15:20 centigrade in the month of January ~ February. Humidity is generally high during peak-summer with” 80-100% relative humidity quite common Humidity is influenced by several factors; winds, temperature and physiography. It fluctuates according to fluctuation of temperature; as a result humidity reaches 20-50% during winter season. Regional winds are generally of north-westerly, onshore wind pattern modified by convective circulation near the coast (RuJ. Petterson and D.JJ. Kinsman, 1981). Strong winds called “Shamals are north to northwest onshore winds, accompanied by hazy condition due to suspended dust. Rainfall is erratic and seasonal, usually occurring during winter months. On average, the area receives 30 to 40 mm of rain annually but some years pass without rain, Evaporation rates for the Arabian Gulf are estimated by Privit (1959) to be as much as 50.4 inches per year. compared with a value of 39.6 inches for similar evaporate-forming environment (Godfrey P. Butler, (1969). The annual rainfall in Abu Dhabi is shown in Figure 3, 4 and 5; the total monthly rainfall is shown in Table 1.

With the exception of mountainous regions shared with Oman in the north-east, the country is relatively low- lying, with near surface geology dominated by Quatemary to late Pleistocene age, mobile ‘Aeolian dune sands, and sabkhalevaporates deposits, The Arabian Peninsula as a whole shows two main geological provinces: 1) The Arabian Shield in the west which is composed mostly of Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks, and 2) The Arabian platform that is a vast area’to the east of the Arabian shield including Qatar and the Emirates. The geologically stable Arabian plate is separated from the unstable Iranian Fold Belt by the Arabian Gulf. It is believed that a tiling of the entire Arabian Plate ocourred during the Permian period, resulting in uplift in southern Yemen, and depression to the north-east, Crustal deformations and igneous intrusions occurred in the north-east as a result of this movement, Subsequent tectonic movements, peripheral to the folding of the Iranian Zagros Range, during the Plio-Pieistocene epoch, probably contributed to the formation of both the Arabian Gulf depression, and the mountains regions Shared by the United Arab Emirates and Oman in the north-east. The near surface geology of the western region of UAE is dominated by Aeolian dune sand, sabkha and evaporates deposits of Holocene to Pleistocene age. These deposits typically comprise fine grained silly calcareous sand, which is commonly dense and variably cemented beneath a shallow, loose, normally consolidated mobile layer. Although variable, the degree of cementation generally increases with depth, such that the variably cemented sand grades to predominantly calcareous sandstone. Very silly, gypsiferous sabkha and evaporate layers occur occasionally within the Aeolian sand deposits, Although surficial sabkha deposits are found throughout the coastal belt of the Arabian Gulf, and far inland in the westem and southem parts of the United Arab Emirates, Sabkha is an Arabic name used to describe relatively fine grained , hyper saline, silt and sand deposits , which are commonly saturated with brine, and salt encrusted. These deposits form in natural evaporation pans where saline water, introduced by sea invasion or elevated saline groundwater, is able to accumulate at or near ground surface level, assisted by capillary action CS-SERPT-19-009 Rev F Page 5/47‘SUB CONSULTANT PROJECT: BAPS Abu Dhabi Hindu Mandir Temple LOCATIO’ ‘Abu Mureikhab, Abu Dhabi, UAE 5.1 Geomorphology of the Area ‘A simple classification of geomorphology has been undertaken by the United States Geological Survey (USGS, 1996) in accordance with regions of hydrological significance, as shown in Figure 6 and Table 2 below, Figure 6: Physiographic Regions of Abu Dhabi E1 te (USGS, 1996) Table 2: Geomorphic units and hydrological significance in UAE (USGS, 1996) CS-SERPT-19-009 Rev F Fair [Sah oa [Fontana Se reales S| stesiteanee Tooaar fa @20)_| dai Fins. iin consmiverace —] Sabla aqule BYDEr Wisse ete 5 san | Towtri ati asta eraee | Sabb we Saline sant aos ¢ 2500 >) tidal Fc, abl paleodune Sibiza & slime Saad gence! aqui T 7 S| AAW ginal hires Ton heh Trtemsd |i 13300 | NW-SE tngiladial does Oechapl |Yiniowm wets Doze ¢ soo | NE-SWeensverse anes. om aigh | auuria ane ead © 3500 | Bara donea 00a tagh. antes | fond agate listed e 530) [AW SE fectazule iinexe anes. | dedsos she proundvater postal f ee eee Li Tiedaoat Ta] kes a gaat gina atin age vam anak Signfcost — tedek sebuaalwater polenta Page 6/47PROJECT: SUB CONSULTANT BAPS Abu Dhabi Hindu Mandir Temple LOCATIO’ PIZS ‘Abu Mureikhab, Abu Dhabi, UAE 60 FIELD WORK 6.4 Drilling From 9” February to 5" March 2019, thirteen (13 No) boreholes were drilled at specified locations within the site.

Sampling from Borehole: Split spoon samples were obtained at selected intervals through soil materials as specified. ‘Wherever cemented and rock materials were encountered, undisturbed core samples were obtained using double tube core barrel (nominal diameter 76mm). The recovered samples were examined, described and classified by our geologist. Then the soil samples were properly packed in plastic bags and core samples were wrapped with cling flim and placed in proper sequence in wooden core boxes and transported to our laboratories for testing. After the required laboratory testing the remaining samples will be retained for a specific period as agreed or described in the project specification. 63 Fi Id Testing 6.3.1. Field Testing in Boreholes Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) was performed at various depths in the boreholes to assess the relative densities of the ground materials: The tests were performed in accordance with BS 1377: Part 9: 1990, “In-situ Tests’ The SPT consists of driving a Standard 50mm outside diameter spit spoon sampler into soil at the bottom of a borehole, using repeated blows of an automatic ‘rip hammer weighing 63.5kg hammer, falling through 760mm. The SPT N value is the number of blows required to achieve a penetration of 300mm, after an initial seating drive of 450mm. The test results are shown on the boring logs at the respective test depths. Interpretation of the SPT test results can be found in the Legend to Boring Logs (Appendix B, Section B1) 6.3.2 Piezometer Installation and Ground Water Monitoring Three (3 No.) standpipe piezometer was installed in’ BH-01, BH-04 and BH-09 to monitor the ground water table during the field” work period in accordance with the project requirements. After driling and before installation of piezometer, the boreholes were flushed with clean water, Then a 2.0" diameter uPVC pipe with closed end and machine slotted section (1m-2m) was placed at the middle of the borehole. A typical schematic of installed single tube piezometer is provided in Figure 7.

Tests were performed using an electrical piezocone, with a projected area of 10cm, an apex angle of 60 degree and a friction sleeve area of 200 cm*. The tests were terminated upon refusal which defined as SOMPa resistance (q.)

The test was carried out as per ASTM C805, which is for the rebound hammer test on concrete. In this particular case, the rebound hammer test was carried out on rock and the compressive strength was calculated as for concrete.
